I thought you said you got three packs OF BJs the other day. Laughed out loud at my reading error.

With this thing the lower the fever the faster and stronger it grows an d can turn into pneumonia. Life threathening fever warrants lowerng but otherwise fever seems the stronger protection against this overtaking the system.

Fever is there to burn out infections - that's why your body raises your temperature.

I'll be thrilled if we don't need it and end up using it this year and/or donating to a pantry or shelter.


Update, I texted DH to add something else to the list and he said "the cart wheels are making noise, I'm checking out now" AKA he's not getting the something else I texted him about.

Due to the one medication I am on, I can only take Tylenol and not Motrin, Advil etc. Drug interactions may be why?


Either one should work for fever. Advil is better for body aches. In my family of 4, 3 of us take Advil and one takes Tylenol because of chronic stomach issues.


So now Tylenol is linked to blood cancer, Aspirin can not be taken in flu as this kills people... what is left?
Luckily fever heals. In most cases best to lower it to non life threathening level an d let it do the job

Numbers will probably start jumping way up in the US soon. Probably follow the pattern Italy is following. We’re living in the future pages of a history book now, people.

This title made me laugh. Of course the most obese nation in the world is worried about running out of food.





The bigger issue is what will all of the Starbucks addicts do? God forbid they should have to drink regular coffee at home.
