It is a British phrase. Thought plague house was a bit dramatic ...

I like plague house better. You don't need to sugar coat the truth for me!

Everyone in the house has the lurgy. Next day of for me and Donna isn't until Sunday. She has a 6 am start tomorrow as well

That is terrible. I have found that I get over illnesses much quicker when I take the Vitamin C as I said before. 1000mg a day. Also Vitamin D3 at 5000iu a day. We do not get enough vitamin d in the winter so our immune systems don’t work as well, hence we get sick in the winter and not summer when we are out in the sun. Go to your local apothecary and get some or chemist or whatever you call them nowadays.

It has been brought on by a lack of snow i believe

I like Apothecary ... A much more interesting word.

Yes, yes, the amazing healing properties of snow -- clears away cooties. Let's hope you get some snow over there soon.

Agreed. Much better than pharmacist as well.

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

Agreed. Much better than pharmacist as well.

And none of the dodgy connotations of the words "Drug-Store"

It is supposed to be snowing right now according to my weather app, but it sounds like sleet. Luckily and hopefully the temperature will get to 38 today and melt it all.

So true. Do you know how hard it is to explain to your kid about drugs being bad when there are drug stores everywhere?

 

[Songbird76]

I had to look up the meaning of lurgi. Never heard that one before!

Ha!! I know it from Harry Potter. One of the characters does some spectacular sports commentary and says that someone is suffering from "Loser's Lurgy". Now, if ALL sports commentators were like that, I might watch more of them!

Bright sunshine here ( insert green grinning guy) ...

A shame you cannot enjoy it. Although maybe you should since you are sick. Free Vitamin D! Just roll your sleeves up and let the sun hit you.

We payed (paid even) off our flights for our June holibob on Monday

Nice! Where are you going for your holibob?

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

Joisey ...

So true. Do you know how hard it is to explain to your kid about drugs being bad when there are drug stores everywhere?

And with every commercial on tv being a drug one! Ugh!

 

[93boomer]

Rainy and deary here. At least the temps are running 10 above the norm.

 

[Goofyernmost]

So true. Do you know how hard it is to explain to your kid about drugs being bad when there are drug stores everywhere?

Not really, there are drugs that keep you alive, and drugs that kill you. Appreciate the science that keeps us alive and fight to the end those that kill people and destroy their lives. There is a huge difference. It's actually easier then to explain why the words... there, their, and they're all mean something different, but, sound exactly the same.

Do you have the same reaction in Norway? I find I can wear the perfume they sell there BTW I like the Innis at UNI better and it's cheaper win, win

I don't wear any perfumes at all because of my asthma. I can do lotions with a mild scent, but I don't wear any perfume. My mom threw out her perfumes and hasn't bought any since.

I can walk in Norway for a few minutes to look at jewlery without getting tight. Italy I avoid entirely, as with one of the shops in France. Italy is by far the worst, though. I give that shop a wide bearth.
