 NB{at}> Hot spicy foods (think mustard, curry, hot peppers), and nice hot
 NB{at}> chicken soup, do wonders for congestion... :)  And help bring down
 NB{at}> blood pressure, as well...  :)

 DS> I never was much for hot, spicy cuisine...although Janice was. :)

Think what you're missing...    There's many gradations of heat,
too... so you wouldn't have to overdo the heat just to get the relief...

 DS> I'm on medicine for high blood pressure, though. The waterless
 DS> vaporizer I got last week with those Vicks filters has done wonders.
 DS> I'm much better today than I was this time last week...although I'll
 DS> likely  still have the hacking cough for another month.

Vicks is a good thing, too...  :)

 DS> Janice would eat her whole meal, then would consume her beverage to
 DS> "fill up the nooks and crannies". Not me...I've got to
have a beverage
 DS> when I eat.

I like having something to drink while I eat, too...  and then also tend
to end the meal with more beverage...  ;)

 DS> ... Jokes about German sausage are the wurst.

Quite.
