My sister-in-law swears by the nose swab zinc.
I thought those were all recalled because people were losing their sense of smell?
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Our wings are not tired.
I haven't used Zinc. I have flooded myself with fluids and C with success.

Because books.
Oh. Well, she is the crazy sister-in-law.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A doctor told me that vitamin C was only good to help you not get sick, but how could it hurt?

I have used the lozenges(I think they work.)

I've had a lot of good results with using the Cold-Eez zinc lozenges and zinc gum with easing sore throats. Don't know that they go away that much faster, but they sure are less bothersome. The only downsize with the zinc is that they make everything taste funny for an hour or two after.

You know, if there was a way to knock out your sense of smell reliably temporarily, it would be a great weight-loss procedure, because food loses a whole lot of attraction when you can't smell it.

Dear Auntie: The fact that you only show up on my facebook to complain about my politics makes you a giant bitch. And not the fun kind. Love, Me. PS: I know why my mother never liked you now! Filter me if you don't like it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Don't people sniff something to temporarily reduce their sense of smell when dealing with, say, rotting corpses? I think I saw this on a cop show.

I believe that's Vicks Vaporub(of course, I know, right? Probably another reason my family finds me off-putting.)
