Being hungover on a school day is pretty cool.

Being hungover on a school day is pretty cool.

We had a party on a Thursday once in high school. I remember the economics class at 10. Sipped on a soda and trembled the whole way. Thankfully it was a "tradition" and the teacher was cool with it. She was like "If I had a Red Bull and an Advil, how does the demand change if you have a party on a Thursday?"

Stomach problems? Seems to be a lot of that around here (my area of town) the last couple days.

Nah a cold. I've got that feeling in the back of my throat. It's coming.

Emergen-C I'd buy that just for the brand name.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I'm like 0 for 6 on XL coffee but 3 for 3 on anything smaller. Weird since usually people assume the larger sizes have better odds.

 

[The Shermanator]

Haven't studies shown that taking Vitamin C actually does nothing at all to prevent a cold. Especially once you already have it.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

This is what I take once I have the cold:

But I take the Emergen-C as soon as I feel that "tickle"...

Yes, they have.

Oh my God, that Alka-Seltzer thing cures everything it seems!

I tried that Zycam once and legit thought I was going to have a heart attack. My heart was racing so bad I had to take a cold bath and made my husband stay awake all night because I thought I was going to die in my sleep. Those Cold Eze cough drops seem to help.

Super sad I cant enjoy this Tim Hortons epicness with you guys.

Drink some whiskey... no seriously and even more serious.

Yeah I've actually done that before. And probably will.

 

[Taak19]

1/14. Bite me you all.

 

[The Shermanator]

Yeah I've actually done that before. And probably will.

And now I feel great.

 

[The Shermanator]

I've come so close to doing homework so many times today but I haven't

If only I could afford that many sets of tires...

Also, as far as I know - Vit C administered after the onset of illness has no proven effect on reducing the length of time you feel sick with a cold or the severity of symptoms. But w/e makes you feel better... as long as it's not impeding any actual medical care, is fine with most doctors. That said, OTC (over the counter) NSAIDs (non steroidal anti inflammatory drug) and what not may be used to treat some symptoms - and if it lasts longer than a few days, consider seeing your doctor. The biggest thing to NOT do, is to take antibiotics for a run of the mill cold. We have enough resistant strains running around now that if people actually knew more about it, they'd be pretty terrified. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the resurgent anti-vax movement...
