Deidre's Ramblings

[Fireball]

Working out while sick isn't a good thing. I think it slows recovery or something like that.

I tend to agree, although I've done it before when I just had like a cold, and it helped. But, sore throats? Fevers? I think it's best to rest up and let your body heal. 

Just about a tablespoon of peroxide. Use something like ChapStick on your lips inside and out to keep it from stinging. Then gargle as long as you can stand it. Then rinse thoroughly with a saline solution. I use Ricola afterwards for the pain of the sore throat (not from the gargles). It is one inhospitable environment for the little buggers.

The royal dynasty was established a long time ago, and the only claim that the current royals have is that they inherited it. Most of what they do is ceremonial in nature. AFAIAC, it's little different from the Vatican, what with all the money and precious artifacts locked away from the rest of the world.

I'll have to try that remedy, although putting peroxide into my mouth scares me a bit.  

I see what you're saying about the royal family. Maybe if I were a Brit, I'd think differently. It might just be some type of cultural tradition for them.

It's only 3%, not the reagent grade stuff that the rocket scientists use. It also works great on removing bacteria at the gum line, reducing gingivitis.

I'll let the People from the UK weigh in on their opinions. They're all over the map on the issue of the royals.
