Home Remedy

There was a time when if you got sick, you could go to a doctor and they would give you a shot and you got well in a short time. Doctors don’t do that anymore. They run test and if the test results are negative, you go home and die. At least you die healthy, according to a doctor.

My financial controller has been suffering with a horrible cough for several days - a couple of weeks. She finally gave in and went down to a ‘doc in a box’ and guess what they told her? You probably have a virus and there is nothing we can do about it. She came back home and got worse. Enough was enough, so I resorted to a home remedy.

The home remedy calls for a spicy tomato juice, which she refuses to drink. So I substituted orange juice. It takes about six ounces of juice and all the juice freshly squeezed from a lemon. Here comes the next problem. You are supposed to mix about an ounce of vodka with the juice, drink it and go to bed. The idea is to flood your body with vitamin C, and the alcohol is to relax you. She refused to follow the prescribe remedy. She is worse than a teetotaler.

I secured some vodka, and put two tablespoons into the mix, hoping it might help. And, it did.

Then the only problem I had was trying to get her to quit wearing that stupid lamp shade.
