Jan 11, 2011 21:18

You ain't ever seen Bad Boys 2? Okay, peeps, you know this shit just got real when I break down and drink a HOT BEVERAGE!!!!!!! The horror, the horror! It's just that my throat hurts and I can't shake this cold and I keep coughing, ugh. Anyhow, I used this awesome mug from amand_r and asked M, "What tea do you have?" Unfortunately, after *mumble, ( Read more... )

What you have against hot teas? I love hot teas. Sorry you are still sick. That is cruel! Had such a nice vacation, too. :*(

It's just -- a drink should be refreshing. Hot drinks are not refreshing. Cold drinks ARE. Right now I am drinking some of my Honest Tea. Cold, refreshing. Yeah.

I'm just glad I didn't get sick on this vacation like I did last February. I was SUCH a killjoy.

Oh poor blue and hot teas are awesome. And coffees. And soups. Be like me--have a glass of ice tea to have along with the hot!

Hot drinks are meant to be comforting, not refreshing! Celestial makes a lovely licorice throat soother tea. I adore it when I'm sick.

Aw, you feel better too, bb. And that is an awesome mug.

I am quite enamored of my mug. Alas, I could not fall asleep, so I am back up sipping from another mug of this mixture.

Here's hoping you have a snow day tomorrow! We got maybe two inches. :(

Yeah, I don't think I fell asleep until after 3, I was coughing too much. No snow day for us (we got maybe three inches of snow), but I called out of work again.

Awww...what cute doggies and kitty. *cuddles*

I beg to differ about hot tea. It does refresh. Drinking hot tea in summer makes you sweat, which cools the body down. A hot toddy (lemon juice, hot water, and a shot of what does you good - brandy, rum, whatever) is great for colds.

Or, if you don't drink alcohol, lemon juice, hot water (as in boiling) and sugar.

And hot tea in the winter warms the bones. :0)

This, from a tea drinker. I only drink coffee if it is in a cappucino and bought from a cafe. Hee....

My grandfather has a four o'clock toddy every single day. Except his is ginger ale, ice, and whiskey. He brings it w/ him if he's not going to be in his own house at 4:00.

I have been drinking the hot water mixture all day! I do admit it can be soothing.

Since I know you're all into UK stuff, you need to find yourself some Lemsip. I'm sure you can find an importer online. That shit is the BOMB when it comes to colds. It's like Theraflu, only 1000 times better.

When I still worked in Manhattan I used to walk to this British import shop and buy it. It works awesomely.

blue_fjords January 12 2011, 23:42:07 UTC

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! I seem to be getting sick more and more lately. Especially this fall/winter. Ugh.

thrace_adams January 12 2011, 09:14:14 UTC

aww, I hope you feel better soon!!! *HUGS*

Cute pics of the pets bb :)

My boss has already requested that I work from home tomorrow. She's also getting over a cold. Aren't we a healthy bunch?
