Have you heard that the color of your phlegm has absolutely nothing to do with what type of infection you have (viral versus bacterial)? MInd you, I don’t really know if this is true. I just heard it somewhere.
Did you know that if you cough hard enough you can collapse a lung? Yeah, now I’m just making stuff up.
Have you ever coughed long and hard enough to give yourself one mother of…
Well, it’s kind of hard to describe. Have you ever taken a blow to the head? Do you know that dizzy, spaced out feeling you get just before you start to feel the pain? Yeah, I don’t know either, I just made all of that stuff up. I’m not real big on taking head shots.
Do you know what it feels like when you start to get a bit of post nasal drip down the back of your throat? You…
It’s past my bedtime on a work night and I’m still awake; a perfect time to grab my handy-dandy iBook and let my fingers do some talking. I would really like to share some good advise I got from a friend, the only problem is said friend makes up half of my readership. Oh hell, if it benefits even one person it will all be worth while.

I was lying in bed, minding my own business, when my mind played a cruel joke on me. I was plagued by an idea for writing. As I lay in bed trying to sleep, I wondered if I would remember the idea the next morning. So troubled was I, fearing that I would forget, that I could not fall asleep. I trudged out to the living room to retrieve my laptop and settled into bed with thoughts of getting these…
Do you fear “different”? Is “new and improved” a reason for skepticism? I myself am guilty as charged, on occasion. Yesterday, I got to face my fears – at work no less.
