I've been really healthy, so far this winter. Last year after Nccea I had
never been so sick in my life. The sweats, the chills, the aches, the cough
the works all rolled up in to one. Took me a month to shake it. Was it
travelling with 45 students on a bus? Was it lack of sleep? Was it talking
too much? Was it too many friends to hug? Did i drink too much? Was it the
Mojave blonde? I hear the flu strain from California this year is brutal.
We don't see many people during the winter so we stay away from the flu bug.
I will be carrying my hand santitizer this year, wearing a face mask,
drinking bottled water, not hugging anybody and I just won't have any fun.
All this to stay healthy. I wonder who believes this?
The other thing I fear in Baltimore is the crabs are supposed to be
incredible. The staff and authors of CT are going out together to get a dose
of them. We're a tight bunch.
Horse hair raku southern gentleman sent me a cure if you happen to get crabs
in Baltimore. Shave one side, set fire to the other side and then spear the
little beggars with a safety pin as they run for the clearing. Those
southerners are a tough bunch. I wonder who believes this?
Now get your beauty sleep everyone, so that you can party hardy!
Cheers,
Tony
P.S I also fear the golden 2x4.

Tony -
There is also an over-the-counter product available to help ward off the creeping crap (cold, flu, etc.) - it is called 'Airborne', and is available at drug stores in the cough/cold section. It is an effervescent tablet that you allow to totally dissolve in a half cup of water or so, sort of citrus flavored. It is a vitamin/mineral supplement formulated by a teacher, who was sick and tired of getting sick and tired from all of his students. My husband and I have used it, and it seems to help. You can see what the box looks like at http://www.airbornehealth.com and even order it there, too, if you can't get it in the store.
Stay well.

You're being joshed. We don't shave and fire any more. Takes too
long.
Now we just use duct tape. Catches the little buggers, holds 'em
fast, and when you rip it off also gives you what the women call
a "bikini wax". Not for the faint-hearted We borrowed the idea
from a product for tick removal we heard about someplace or another.
(That's sure to get me a whack from that golden 2X4)

BTW, previous to leaving for NCECA...
3-5 days of Echinacea tea, maybe four cups a day, with some heavy
doses of Vitamin C (not Chivas!) will help bolster that immune
system. Living where I do, we're exposed to all sorts of critters
that traveling revelers bring with them. The above helps many of us
stay healthy. Yes, really. =20
Your health isn't worth a trip just to hickey the Mojave Blonde.

Hi Tony, all...
A very good non-perscription product which seems to help
immensely for travel...and especially for warding off the
germ laden air of airline interiors....to prevent one
getting ill...is...
"Air-Borne" ( I am not sure I spelled it correctly, but I am
sure I do have the name right..)
Available at any Drug Store and most any Grocery Store...has
a silly label with cartoon people on it.
Who knows why it works as well as it does, but...somehow it
does...
I know several people who travel often, and who were allways
ill from respiritory and 'flu-like responses to
air-travel...who say that since they have been useing this,
have not had the problems they used to.

I hear this too, and I try them every time I go there. But I'm always
disappointed. Give me Washington State Dungeness crab any day. And do they
HAVE to put that hot pepper goo all over them?

They're too hard to hit with a safety pin. You need to use an icepick.

Is this a new application for rid-a-tick?
