blech.....

So, I'm sick....I have a terrible cough. I have tried every homemade remedy I know to shake this cough, and frankly, I have made my cough worse. How have I made my cough worse? Because as I was trying all these homemade remedies, I about killed myself from laughing so hard!! First remedy: buy fresh ginger root at the grocery store, and chew a chunk of it. DON'T SWALLOW IT!! Just chew it like bubble gum. After you nearly gag on the acid burning of your throat, you will be able to see just how far you can spit a wad of ginger!! Second remedy: Add about 3 TBLS of salt to a glass of hot water. Gargle salt water until you feel like you have drank an entire ocean. Not only will your eyes water non stop, but you will emit guttural throat noises never heard by man. Third remedy: The Famous Hot Toddy!!! Try this using extreme caution!! The measurements on this were never made clear to me, so I pour a little here, and a little there. You need lemon juice, honey, 7 UP and WHISKEY!!! heat it all up together, and you could be out of this world!!! Be careful though, it burns just as bad coming up as it did going down:( Fourth remedy: Smear Mentholatum on the bottom of your feet and then put socks on. Your feet will feel sticky and yucky, but after awhile, you will feel the menthol start to creep up your body...weird. If anyone has any more home remedies, let me know...I'm game to try anything!!!
