Rant: Cold medicine

[stlouie_lipp]

Why do i have the feeling that Pho is going to be like sushi all over again for jim?

We have a large Vietnamese population near where I live with many restuarants. I tried it once, not for me. For one thing they should realize that Americans aren't 4' 10" and 80 pounds needing only 700 calories a day to survive. Priced like normal meals, but you get like 3 bites. Soup was watery with unidentified food parts floating around.

I don't like Japanese soup either - Mitsubishi or whatever it is. That just has no flavor at all. Or nutrition. Those people incorporate suffering and sacrifice into all of their lives, including meals.

If you served Yosenabe to jim



and called it bouillabaisse



what would he say?

[jim]

I don't know what either of those are but if the bottom one is spicy I would eat it.

I have a runny nose. I want something to stop a runny nose. I couldn't find [expletive] to stop a runny nose. Congestion yes, but runny no. I'm not congested, I just have a lot of snot. ANd I don't have a cough, or a fever - all I need is some anti-snot medicine. But I'll be damned if they sell anything like that.

I think that was the dipping sauce, jim.

I always struggle calling in sick with a cold. I take fewer sick days than anyone I know, the night before I swear I am going to call in, then I get up and don't feel horrible and start my day. I actually ran a couple of miles this morning and played a little basketball, and while I didn't feel great it at least opened my sinuses up. And then at about 10:00 I am here at work just wishing I was at home on the couch.

This is day 3 - I'm hoping by tomorrow I start feeling better. No fever but all I want to do is sleep. I hate being this lethargic.

I probably just got someone else sick - new guy just stopped by and was introduced and I shook his hand. Welcome aboard!

How complicated this stuff has gotten? Ridiculous. Night and Day formulas with combo packs, all of the medicine has multiple ingredients. I have a runny nose. I want something to stop a runny nose. I couldn't find [expletive] to stop a runny nose. Congestion yes, but runny no. I'm not congested, I just have a lot of snot. ANd I don't have a cough, or a fever - all I need is some anti-snot medicine. But I'll be damned if they sell anything like that. Maybe it was there and I just couldn't find it in the forest of medicines that are being offered.

Bring the good stuff back I say!
