Touched by Mucus
Eeew. I have the 'flu. As a man, I believe it's my prerogative to have the 'flu, rather than what the so-called Western medical establishment would have me believe, which I'm guessing would be a head cold. Mountebanks, the lot of them.
While I'm still struggling to fight off the Avian Death Flu, please stand by.

ROFLMAO.....You poor thing! Feed a cold, starve a fever.....and if you have both, oh well...skip a few meals. Get well soon. The world needs you. How about that earthquake! Oops, you sick. just don't blow your nose near the keyboard. It makes for a sticky mess!
When the snot goes yellow, you know you're getting better.It's true- my grandmother told me- in those exact words.
Channel all our little voices saying "Bless you!" when you sneeze.
Does that help?

chicken soup. Those are my two words of advice.
Poor Torgo! Hope you can shake off the death flu LOL. Feel better!
I've always felt that calling it "influenza" rather than "the flu" made it sound like I had a rare and possibly fatal disease. This seems to garner more sympathy.
I'm with Phoenix - chicken soup, but add lots of pepper - black, white, and/or red pepper! Open ya right up - both ends.
Bless you!
Joyce
Bless you!

Augh...jeez...just what you need...to be open at both ends. Now I've got THAT picture in my head for the rest of the day!
To second Bernita, "Bless you!"

The best thing, IMHO, is Hot and Sour soup, from the Chinese down the road. Maybe I'll get them to put some chicken in it?
Ian, did your granny cover a green chunky stage in her remarks?

Green and chuncky!!!!EEuuwwww....chicken soup, fast...and don't sneeze over the bowl. Maybe chicken is the problem...bird flu...fluids, drink lots of fluids. This is probably a stupid idea :-), but have you been to the doctor?

Strong ginger tea used to be - circa my grandmother's time - a cure all for phlegm impacted sinuses.
You might have a sinus infection. If it doesn't improve in a week, go to the doctor.
Everyone else has already given you all the Dr. Mom advice I'd have so just get well soon. :)

Nah. None of that rot works. Two or three hot toddies, double shots, with tea, honey and a splash of lemon. Fix you right up.

Sleep lots, drink lots of fluids, have oranges ... and if your snot continues to be green, go to a doctor. I think. Hope y'all get better.

Geez, Louise....if you drink all that stuff, you're going to have a bladder problem in addition to the snot!
To Torgo- green and chunky hmm..sounds like an obscure Salad Infection.What you need is lots of Junk Food, lots of Junk Television.Avoid any healthy or green, or anything with significant amounts of Jamie Oliver in it.
Torgo,
While you've been ill, look what's happened to men's room advertising at http://www.wizmark.com/
I'm stuggling to understand.
