wasabi peas = sinus clearing, without the nasty side effects of decongestants

I'm so glad I remembered that!

You might as well take the time to explain.

Budweiser "Whazzup" commercials, circa 1999-2000. If you still don't get it, I'll explain later. They were dumb, but occasionally amusing. Especially the online parodies.

Since I'm home during daylight today, I was going to wander outside and look for chickweed. How much do you need, and does it have to be fresh? Or can I pick and dry it for you? (That'd give more time to figure out how to get it to you.)

needs to be fresh. dry chickweed has little to no medicinal value :(

On another note... John had a great idea...the parks. I ran by Roanoke Park briefly at lunch. Appears there's some around a couple of trees. Going to go really look after work. I figure if chickweed is growing, they probably haven't sprayed.

Parks? Ummm...not necessarily. Depends on what they were spraying for, and how specific it was. If chickweed's growing, then they've **probably** not sprayed for broadleaf weeds recently, but they could have sprayed for crabgrass and other weedy monocots.

It's probably best to assume that anything maintained by the city/county gets sprayed on a semiregular basis, because that's the cheapest (shrot-term, anyway) form of maintenance and pest control.

Not for use while driving - the watering eyes and violent sneezes always get me. And then I eat more. More! MORE!!!

They don't make me sneeze, just make my nose run. Which, today, is a good thing. As long as I don't treat them like Altoids, and eat 3 or more at once. That hurt.

Gramma used tabasco in a shot glass for runny noses and peppermint schnapps for coughs.


That and an exorcism and footrub.

Well, ok, except for the exorcism. And the footrub, I'm too ticklish for that.
