    If you've got a bad cough but you still have to function -- Buckley's Mixture.

    It tastes terrible. You'll think you're taking a swig of liquid Vicks.

    But it WILL stop your cough for a while. It's amazing that way.

    Again, if you can stand it.

    I'd be quite disappointed if my post wasn't misquoted by noontime. :D

    Get a ne pint bottle of bourbon that has a cork on it (not a screw on lid). In a small saucepan, mix (measurements MUST BE EXACT, by the way):

    3/4 distilled (or bottled) water
    4 cloves
    juice of 1/2 medium lemon
    2 tsp. honey

    Bring to boil, reduce back to simmer and drop in just the cork from the bottle (trust me on this).
    simmer for EXACTLY 3 1/2 minutes

    Then throw the whole damn mess out the back door and drink the pint of bourbon. Won't cure you, but you won't give a shit.

    I've sent employees home who were sick. I'd probably do the same if I were Pete's boss.

    When I was much younger, I put on sweats and jogged a few miles. Then I came home, cranked the heat and jumped in a hot bath. Then I hopped into bed. Of course, I had to change my sweat-soaked sheets a few hours later. But it always did the trick.

    A lof of people swear by Cold FX. It doesn't cure a cold but it builds up the immune system. Apparently very popular with NHL players and Don Cherry used to be their main spokesperson.

    I tried Cold FX last year and it worked well.
