Right, I am still very behind, but I would be remiss if I didn't point this out to everybody who hasn't already seen it. It made me laugh until I hacked!
Highly recommended for those who enjoy both Shakespeare and Tarantino, or really just for anybody who enjoys amazing cleverness:
If Shakespeare wrote Pulp Fiction, it might sound something

I appreciate it even more than you can guess, because I'm on a mission to finish off a story draft tonight, and it's been rough going. I really needed that vote of confidence!
Re: lozenges, I have to admit that they taste vile. However, the ones I'm thinking of were so super-powerful that they essentially made my mouth, tongue and throat so numb that I wasn't really able to mind the taste. But yeah, the advantage of the spray is that it's quickly over and done with.
If you're losing your voice, a friend of mine who's a professional vocalist drinks a concoction that's made up of one mug of hot water, two tablespoons cider vinegar and one tablespoon of honey. I've used it to good effect when I'm sick and can't afford to be without my voice, and although it won't win any awards for its pleasant smell, it doesn't really taste very nasty.

I tend to (once I have a feel for a character)zealously guard my image of them. I'm rather loyal that way. I'm fiercely loyal to your version of Snape.
You captured me with your first drabble on PSOHdrabble. You are an astounding writer and I will be among the first to tell someone what I think of their skill and/or lack thereof.
You will manage to finish that draft and it will be, as usual, a work of literary art. I have that confidence in you.
Thanks for the advice. I've been nursing cup after cup of green tea with honey and lemon and that does seem to help a bit. I'll try the vinegar before work tomorrow.
Your whole mouth was numb? Wow. I might have to try one of those.
Hall's, you said?

Tea with lemon and honey is always a good choice for a sore throat! The cough drops were definitely Halls, and they came in a plastic box, rather than a bag. They might be called Halls Max; I'm not sure. Wallgreens or any local drugstore chain might have their own generic version of them, too. They're loaded with, basically, topical anesthetic, so yes, they make everything they touch numb.

"Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around..." Believe that I do believe in you. Still one of the best writers around...
Yeah... Tea does help, though I'll regret it later when I'm waking up every five minutes to run to the Ladies room. I have to go the therapy in the morning and stop at CVS to pick up my prescription, so I'll look for the Halls when I'm there.
