Under The Weather, So...

My daughter (bless her twisted little withered black heart!) is helping me deal with being sick by playing a few Mystery Science Theatre 3000 episodes.

We've watched "Santa Claus" (Mexican movie badly acted and horribly dubbed), "Bride of the Monster" (one of Ed Wood's cinematic "gems" that starred Bela Lugosi) and now "The Atomic Brain" (we're having lots of fun here using bad Russian-sounding dialects and making references to the former Soviet Union as silly but lovely foreign girls are used for nefarious experiments).

I really don't want to know what the evil scientist has planned for that black cat.

I wonder what else The Kid has in store for me today. She's feeling pretty crappy, herself.

I hope you're feeling better now.
Did the bad-movies do the trick? :)

Still feel like I'm horking up hairballs. Can't seem to shake this thing, which sucks. Getting tired really easily, etc.

Just glad I don't get this sick very often.

I've been having a sore throat lately too. I guess it's going around.

You should take Vitamin D. Yes, our bodies make it when exposed to sunlight but since you're a creature of darkness that's a moot point. Have someone Google the term "Benefits of Vitamin D" for you. You'll be amazed by how good it is.

No need to get snarky. I'm only trying to help. I guess this cold has you irritable, that, or the fact that you're Dutch. Either way please don't slap away the hand that is trying to help you here. Now go take a big spoonful of Cod Liver oil. It does a body good! :D

I didn't mean to snark at you. Sowwie. :(

Regarding the cod liver oil, I'd rather keep that as a last resort. Right now the tripple distilled Auchentoshan Classic single malt Scotch whisky seems to be doing an excellent job. ;)

If we're talking a sore throat then yes, scotch will help (or bourbon whiskey).

And they now make Cod Liver oil and fish oil in general with Lemon flavoring (or orange or even mint). Doesn't taste like fish at all to be honest.

The mere idea of cod liver oil or fish oil in general particularly with added lemon flavoring still sickens me though.

CodLiverOil.jpg

Healthy Brain & Nerve Function. Healthy Vision. Healthy Immune Function. From the deep, unpolluted waters near Norway, Carlson brings you the finest cod liver oil which is naturally rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, EPA and DHA. Only cod fish caught during the winter and early spring are used, as the liver oil content is highest at this time of year. The oil is separated from the liver tissues without the use of chemicals. To ensure freshness of Carlson Norwegian Cod Liver Oil, the air inside the glass bottle has been replaced with nitrogen.

And it's from Norway so it must be good for you... :roll:

Other than Miss Norway and their olympic ski team? Probably not. :P

It's possible that they are so healthy they never need cod liver oil. ;)

Don't hate on Norway too much, after all, they have to have some kind of industry to employ their people. Making them go out in boats in the frigid arctic waters to catch cod all with no guarantee that they'll make it back to port gives their lives meaning in a way...I think.

Now that you've ascended the urge to self-moderate is just too great. We need to set an example for the "lowers". ;)
