My own thread for a chest cold? Joe Offer will be furious! Thank you all. Poor Pauline is about to find out that I am a very unpleasant patient.

Sinsull, best wishes for the new year, and I hope you're all healed up soon.

When I was a child and had a chest cold my mother would rub Vicks Vaporub on my chest. Of course my mother is in Virginia and you're up north so you'll have to find someone else to do it...ahem.

cheers,
chance

Well Sins I would try Alba's recipe, as based on the theory that the worse a thing tastes the more good it does, you should have a miracle cure after one sip.

Pauline, I'm so glad you can be there to help with the kitties and Seamus while Mary has a chance to actually rest and get better. My youngest boy has a chest cold at the moment and I'm hoping it doesn't spresad throught the rest of the house. Make sure you both get lots of hot tea and rest up for New Years. I've got a house full of "littles" desending tommorrow so I've got to begin the whirlwind clean...

love to you both

It's trans ponded..... I've got my first cold this winter... Manitas had it last week.

Usually colds are 3 days coming, 3 days here and 3 days going. Any longer and it's a chest infection.

Take care and remember, there is no decongestant better than Chicken soup... it's been proved!

I'm off for a jolt of vitamin C now... Santa left me a satsuma!

Dear sister-in-sickness- I didn't think germs were allowed to cross state borders! We've been coughing and snorting here, too, but are feeling much better (after missing lots of Boxing Day fun *mope*)-

You have my deepest sympathy, dear Mary! Keep resting, it's the best of all the cures, and take anything and everything that might ease and urge the healing- do you still have any rum balls left? They've got to heal you right up!

Thanks, PaulineL, for letting us know! Isn't Mary the dearest?

Lots of HOT tea and grub and sleep. Hmmm, four cats and a dog. Forget the sleep. Burcie's right about the time. Just remember, any longer than a week and it's time to see the doc. They actually have a medicine that will destroy the little beasties in four days but I wouldn't pay the bucks for the last three days unless it WAS serious. Most doc's around here won't prescribe it unless there are complications or you are elderly. Anyway, you ain't gettin any doc on the line today... everthing here that was going to open despite the "holidays" isn't going to open until we get shovelled out of these blizzard conditions. I assume it's not very nice in Maine either, eh ?

Sins...Get better quickly ma Dear.
Nothing like a chest cold to make you feel down:>(
Thinking of you and hope this nasty thingy leaves your Bod soon.
You could try my remedy (taste like Sh** but works)
4 tablespoons Cider Vinegar
1 Clove Garlic crushed
2 Tablespoons Honey
Mix in small jar. Leave in Fridge for a few Hours then take tiny sips....clears the chest very quickly.
Like I say doesn't taste too good, although I don't mind the taste as I have found it to be very affective.
Hope you get better very soon Darlin.
Love and Light
Jude

Feed a cold and feed a fever.

Get well, SINSULL. The British did a study in which they found that if you treat a cold it will last for seven days, and if you don't it lasts for a week. G'luck.

Sins, take good care. I second the advice for lots of ginger and some good ol' chicken soup couldn't hurt either! And do what you'd say to Seamus....."HEAL!"

Indeed! This sounds to me like a grand excuse for some hot cider with lots of ginger and honey, and maybe even a little brandy thrown in!

Wassail, Sinsull!

I'm having a great time spending part of the holiday season with Sinsull. She knew that I was depressed, so she invited me to visit. Isn't that great? We've been having a good time doing nothing. Well, not really nothing. We've been eating to excess, sleeping long hours, talking on and on, and playing with her four cats and Kendall's dog (she's keeping the dog while Kendall and Jacqui are away). Now Sinsull has a chest cold. She keeps telling me, between bouts of coughing, that this is not a serious illness and that she'll be all better very soon. I know that this is not a serious illness, but I also know that it can make you feel crummy. I think some cheer and get well wishes from Mudcatters would speed her recovery.
