I am home sick and it's raining (boo!). Does anyone have any good homemade cold remedies to offer? I don't want to walk to Starmarket in the rain, and I have no chicken soup here.

Tea, tea and tea. Pee those viruses out of your system! If your throat is sore, you can put a heaping tablespoon of salt in a glass of hot water and gargle with same. I believe that the salty water, being hypertonic to your system, draws off the excess fluids that have swollen your tonsils. If your sinuses are stuffed up, you can dab a very sparing amount of Vapo-Rub, Icy Hot or Tiger Balm under your eyes (be careful not to get it in your eyes). The fumes will make your eyes water so bad that your sinuses will sluice clean. This is better than nothing.
