Where's My Binoculars?

I haven't been feeling the best for a few days. Mostly coughing. I didn't think that the people at church would appreciate it if I came in and coughed all over them so I stayed home. Besides coughing I think that I have a low grade fever but it's hard to tell when my temperature is normally below 97.6*. Are you running a fever when it's 98.6? Anyway it feels like a fever. Probably a touch of what Jaci had the other day except I have the coughing.

I am sooo enjoying my laptop!!! I've got it on the coffee table and am all curled up with the keyboard!! Great combonation!!! Just one problem...........I can't see what I[ve typed! I'm going to have to go and find my bird-watching binoculars to read the screen!!! I'm going to look like a site when my family comes home!!! Keyboard on my lap, wireless mouse in one hand and my binoculars in the other hand!!!

I'm sorry you're not feeling well! Being sick is the worst! Have you ever tried cold ease? But you suck on them like a cough drop and they have zinc in them (among other things) that help lessen your cold. It doesn't stop symptoms, but it helps your cold not last as long. I swear by that stuff! Lol

I was always told that for adults, it's not really considered a fever until it's over 100. Pearl might know though, she's a nurse

Oops, didn't mean to ignore the fact that you aren't feeling well. I was a bit overcome by the vision of you with the binoculars, keyboard and mouse with the laptop on the coffee table.

Hope you feel much better very, very soon. I got hubby some of the Zicam Gel Swabs when he was sick a few weeks ago, and it really seemed to help him get better quickly. It's probably the same principle as the Cold Ease. Zicam comes in different forms, but I read that the gel swabs are the most effective.

Get well soon!!!

Marilyn, I've never heard of those! Do you just swab them in your mouth or something? That would be nice, because the one thing I don't like about cold ease is that it gives me cotton mouth after I have one of those things, lol.

It's definitely time to do something about my eyes but it's a long story about why I haven't done anything.

I'm so sick and tired of the coughing. The cough has been really deep and hard. I'm going to have sore muscles with this one. Then I remembered that Vicks on the feet is suppose to help with a cough. I know that for you new people I sound pretty crazy but someone posted about it on here a while back. So far I think that it's working but it's only been a few minutes. I'll keep you posted.

LOL, no you swab inside your nose.

One of my friends tried the Vicks on the bottom her feet and she says it really worked for her.

YAY!!!! I'm glad it's working, but I CAN'T believe it!! I wish I had known about the Vicks a long time ago. It really is working? How long have you had it on? I thought you were suppose to put it on while you were sleeping?

I was coughing so bad yesterday that when I finally remembered it I went directly and put it on. I put on a pretty good layer too. I coughed a little bit but soon had stopped almost completely and here it is the next day and I'm still not coughing. I haven't reapplied it either.

My husband's sick today and coughing. I'll see if he'll try it. It would definitely be great for little kids!

Poor Diana! You have a sickie I'm glad you're feeling better today and I hope that dh gets better soon..

If it's hard to read the screen, you can play around with View on the Toolbar and increase the text size. It doesn't work on everything, but it helps (as do those drug store eyeglasses).

I remember your Vicks post. Well, I was up at my daughter's and my SIL walked into the bedroom and told us that he was going to put Vicks on his feet since he had a cold and he had heard that it helped. Jessie and I had been talking about it a little while before because I emailed her about it. We looked at each other, and said "Where did you say you heard that, Steve?" He tried to get away with it, but he caved fast and admitted that he had read the email!

The nerve! Trying to steal your idea!
