I am 'dosed' (as we say in Rural Ulster) with a cold for the past while. However, I manage the condition through tea, coffee and soup. Plus, the occasional honey added to my tea or coffee to heal my throat.
My nan's attitude was to demand an antibiotic for EVERYTHING! However, I am learning new skills through my Internet Buddies.
As an Aspie, I have a low tolerance for having nothing to do. I couldn't stim forever. Time waits for no-one.
