I’ll be keeping this crazy short. I’m still feeling under the weather. I’m really starting to consider I have the plague. It just won’t leave my system. I’m still in the congested phase of the cold. I have this lovely cough that sounds like I’ve been smoking for 50 years and I’ve gone through 3 boxes of tissues. I’m really hoping it’s on its last legs, cause I can’t take much more of this. I’m starting to get cranky, and no one likes a cranky Dani, especially Bill. He downright despises it.
See you all on Friday.

I’ll give you a hint Robyn- he’s surprisingly good in bed.
I feel bad for ya, I had a rather surprising version of a cold that started a couple weeks ago, and while now is mostly gone I still have the annoying cough that won’t let go. Feel better soon!
Sudafed. It’ll make your heart race, but WOW it clears the sinuses. Then, when it all goes down into the lungs: Primatene tablets. Or at least guafenesin.
Sorry to hear you’re still sick. Build up your immune system asap, it may not be much fun while you’re sick tho. Eat some yogurt every day, and any other probiotic you happen to like. I’d drink spicy, garlicky chicken soup as often as you can (even canned chicken noodle warmed in a mug where you heated some olive oil and a minced clove of garlic + a pinch of chile in your microwave). Lots more ‘good advice’ out there – search on ‘immune cold’ – http://abcnews.go.com/Health/ColdandFluNews/story?id=6141948&page=1#.T-sEkvUyF8F
Be well
You need to do the following:
Make a cup of black tea. Put in 2-3 full teaspoons of salt (depending on your cup, I usually use coffee mugs), 10 drops of medicinal iodine and half a lime. Gargle the whole thing (in parts, not at once) once in the morning and once before going to sleep. You will get rid of ALL of your phlegm. It will look disgusting, but you will feel so much better after doing it just once. It’s not harmful at all, so if you ever want to do one during the day or two at once (because you feel you still need more) that’s no problem.
Aww, thanks for all the cold advice guys. It warms my heart.
Thankfully I’m not feeling too bad. It’s mostly the cough that sounds awful. I’m pretty sure my co-workers want to quarantine me to a remote corner of the building.
Maybe it’s a bad case of hayfever (allergic rhinitis)? It kinda sounds like my hayfever symptoms
It will definitely help with your cough, and let you sleep sound at night. I hope you get well soon
I like this stuff – and it does help build up your immune system, esp. if you’ve taken some antibiotics trying to get rid of a bug. Plus, I think it’s tasty (YMMV)

It’s nice to see that Dee’s apparently totally fine with her best friend sleeping with her ex. I know she’s in a new relationship but there is that whole idea of certain people being “off limits” after a relationship ends and this could have lead to a lot of unnecessary drama for Dee. But hey if Todd was totally fine with Dee getting involved with his best friend it would have been pretty hypocritical for her to say anything against it. I’m guessing the person who’ll have the hardest time dealing with it is Jason. Then again since he hooked up with someone he already knew Todd had a thing for there’s really no room for anyone to judge anyone is there?
Errrrh Dani?
About that ‘cold’?
A cold that is sort of over (before it really started)?
Except it’s not?
You’re are (or where) still working, you just ‘tire a bit faster’?
No elevated temperature? No sneezing?
You’re just coughing?
And wondering when this will leave your system?
Do you cough up Phlegm?
What Colour?
Green?!?!!!
-> Green means your body is fighting an infection, btw. …
That’s BRONCHITIS!
And if you don’t go to a doctor and get some Antibiotics within the next two weeks, it’ll turn into PNEUMONIA …
Still nothing LETHAL (if you go to that doctor!), but … a prolonged Bronchitis, even if cured, means that for the next two to three weeks your body has to repair the damage of a widespread infection, aka. wheezing like a 60 year old smoker when climbing stairs, constant fatigue etc. pp.
And if this IS Bronchitis and you DON’T go to a Doctor, this will get ‘tiresome’ real quick. Like you’ll get the ‘SWEATIES’ (39+ degrees temperature), you’ll sleep 15 hours a day and you’ll cough up ugly stuff.
Hope I’m wrong and I just have ‘worried Mom syndrome’ and you’ll just laugh about this crazy fan guy …
But I really want you two to do this webcomic I like following so much, ya know?
I know I’m selfish.
Just sayin’ …
Cheers & best wishes
Every webcomic author gets sick at the same time. It’s a conspiracy.
