"The hiiiiiiiiiiiills are aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive with the sound of muuuuuuuuuucus..." (Snorrrrrrrrrrrrrrk hack hack!)

Please, somebody kill me. I want to die. I wouldn't even go to class today except that a good friend of the professor's is coming to present on sentimentality in The Scarlet Letter, and the professor's been so excited about it for weeks now. Oh, and that I'm running out of days I can miss without penalty. I seriously just want to lie down and drown in my own mucus. I mean, hell, that's what's happening anyway.

Jaysus, your sick and your still laugh out loud funny.
Oh, how I envy you that (not the drowning in mucus part, however.)

Get well soon.

Aw, poor Cleo. ::offers tissues::

But hey, it sounds like an interesting lecture. And I hear you on the nonpenalty days-I'm running out m'self.

[freethegayboys.livejournal.com]

that is probably the most disgusting thing I've heard all day...

Maybe you could lie in a bathtub and just drown in your mucus... but that would not only be the MOST revolting way to die, but it would also be REALLY sad... i'm not sure i'm ready to let you go yet... so you'll just have to stay, sorry about that.

Try taking Zinc tablets... they help colds and flus more than anything else i know of.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I dug up my bottle of zinc tablets yesterday, plus a multivitamin. I can't tell if it's doing any good, except that it always has before, and I shudder to think what this cold would be like *without* the zinc.

Feel better! And, er, Ed Gross needs to get in touch with you and is worrying b/c you didn't reply to his last emails.....

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Stupid email. Let me go fish around and see if I find anything from him in there.

We'll have to send you a mucus bucket. Get well soon!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Heeee.

No. There will be no killing of the Cleo. It is forbidden under Article VI, Section III of Teh Constitution of Teh Funny.

Have some get-well vibes:

Hope you feel a bit better soon!

Showers lots of hot showers.

Drain and drain again.

If I could take your head cold as my own I would so you could get everything done then I would. I'm currently checking to see if God will allow that.

[adoresixtyfour.livejournal.com]

Sorry. You are too funny to die.

Get better soon...

If you can find the stuff Bija makes awesome teas for getting rid of colds. Cold Stop Tea is the best stuff ever. (http://www.florahealth.com/flora/home/canada/products/tg7.asp#3950) Relief, plus it actually helps make you better.

Also RespirTea is fantastic stuff for the same reasons, but its extra good at relieving cold symptoms. (http://www.healthmart2000.com/item72.htm) The fumes alone will clear your sinuses, and the tea will clear up a scratchy throat and helps you breathe easier again.

If you dont have any of these specific brands in your area, they list the ingredients at the sites, so just buy a tea (or several teas. Its pretty cheap stuff, really) with some of the same ones. Ideally, peppermint, eucalyptus, and ginger. Echinacea wont hurt, but you're probably too far into the cold to do you much good (you have to hit it with echinacea early, when you are just getting it).

Good luck and i hope you feel better soon!

I'm telling you - Theraflu strips. They work like little cherry-flavored miracles.

*hands you tissues*

*... and a lifejacket*

Feel better soon!

*sends tissues*

Your song reminded me of the part in Ferris Bueller where he makes a cough-song on his nifty computer keyboard thing. Hee!

But I do hope you feel better.

[missplume.livejournal.com]

Nooo!

You don't want to die with a head cold, you'd be all cranky and wouldn't enjoy it.

Hope you feel better soon (back, foul mucous -- leave this body! The power of zinc compells you!)

[at-the-stars.livejournal.com]

That's my theme song for the last week - and probably next week - until it finally kills me.

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

*passes tissues and lemon drops* Poor thing. I hope you feel better soon! Being sick is yucky.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

I hope you feel better. I'm just getting over a cold myself (albeit a fairly mild one).

The Sound of Mucus

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

The throats are alive with the sound of mucus
With the phlegm they have flicked for a thousand weeks
The throats fill the mouths with their gobs of mucus
The mouths try to push it in their cheeks.

if you do the herbal thing, I've found that Bee Pollen dries me up enough to function for a while. Just make certain that you're not allergic to bee pollen, otherwise it might not have te same effect, y'know?

[dgriswold.livejournal.com]

You and me both. Woke up dying of cough, which is totally NOT the best way to get out of bed. Then the nice nurse practicioner lady at the student health center gave me cough medicine with Codeine and now I'm better.

I mean, drowsy, a bit delirious, and possibly working up a narcotics addiction, but I FEEL better.

oh i know the feeling...i usually carry a tissue box around with me and then use most of it up within the hour...and by then im usually so pathetic that when i need to wipe/blow my nose i use the driest (is that a word? or is it speled right?) dirty snotrag...when i was younger my nose was constantly red and i would dig tissues from the garbage...we've got it on film in fact...*was a sad, sad, child*

[sisterjune.livejournal.com]

cleo i feel so much empathy for u right now. i have always had respitory problems and whenever i get a cold i would have a conjested or runny nose for the rest of the week. so if you would like to get rid or at least ease your nose troubles here's a list of stuff you can try:

mucinex
vicks vapor rub
clariten clear
peppermint tea
green tea
NyQuil (if the cold is keeping you up at night,then have no fear! cause this stuff will knock. you. OUT.

[shesnotallthere.livejournal.com]

Are you SURE you don't have a sinus infection?

[chichicolumn.livejournal.com]

wow that is a very graphic description of feeling like crap during a cold. GET WELL SOON!!!
