I Couldn't Help But Laugh...

I spoke with mama last night on the telephone.


When she heard my raspy voice the first thing that came out of her mouth was "Did you rub yourself down with some Vicks VapoRub?" Awww man, that made me smile from ear to ear. No matter what your age, your mama is always your mama.


Then she told me to drink a warm glass of milk with a couple of cloves of garlic chopped up it in. She swears it helped her in the past. Helped her with what? Keepin' a lactose intolerant vampire away from her?


Thank the good Lord above she never tried that one on me as a kid. It would have ended up like the chipped ham on toast she forced me eat once... Right back up on the plate where it came from.

    Ha HA! Very funny. If I'm looking pale my mom says (think Southern accent) "Have you been taking your vitamins?!?"

    oh, I'm so sorry to hear your still sick Karin! My Mom swears by that vapo rub too, and she puts it in her nose. I hate that gloppy stuff, like you...too many childhood memories.

    Feel better soon :)

    ...Aaaaacck! I gotta visual!... :o/ And aren't moms the best? I so miss mine. Hug your mom for me okay?...

    ...Sorry to hear that you are sick Karin - I hope you get to feeling better soon! Here's an old remedy if you have a sore throat: Mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. I've never tried it but I hear it works because the vinegar kills the bacteria.

    ...Get well soon! :o)

    ...Blessings...
