So... I have an earache.

Anyone in NYC want to get a drink tonight???

Drinking on a Monday is cool.

Her name was Lola. She was the queen of the non sequitur.

OWWWWWWWWWWWWW...ear hurts...

Kick. Ass.

Lola: Eat a clove or three of raw, fresh garlic. Garlic has natural anti-biotic and anti-inflammation properties, and it'll also temporarily reduce your blood pressure, which will relieve some of the pain.

And it pretty much has to be raw. Cooked or pill garlic doesn't do it.

But you can wash it down with a few bites of cheese, which is just about the only thing I've found that effectively neutralizes the sting of the garlic.

I have hideously bad "surfer's ear", perforated eardrums, constantly clogged tubes, etc, and get ear infections a few times a year. Garlic is my best friend. Besides, it's good for you, and doesn't seem to kill off your natural GI flora like antibiotics do.

Sure, you might smell funny for a while, but you'll feel great.

Mondays have very little meaning to the unemployed except the lines are shorter at Home Depot.

Thanks, loq.

This is weird. I never get earaches. I'm going to try some Ibuprofen since there seems to be no garlic in the office.

Drink. Drink. Drink.

Or go home and hang with Herb Tarlick by myself and watch Kiefer.

Smoke. Smoke. Smoke.

I may be losing my mind!!!

Well, you will be missed! I didn't do a thing all weekend so I guess I'm trying to make up for it now!!

posted by Lola_G 20 March | 16:34

Damndamndamn! If I had a spare grand just burning a hole in my pocket, I would be jumping on plane to join you guys in a heartbeat. I confess envy, but have a great time and raise one for me will you?

And everyone give jmc and Lola a big old round of bunny hugs, 'k?

posted by Frisbee Girl 20 March | 16:35

It's one of those things I shouldn't be doing. Like I should go home and put on the PJs but it will be good to catch-up with jon.

Come on bunnies...beer is good.

posted by Lola_G 20 March | 16:37
