    So you found the candies to be helpful in your recovery?

    Cool! I'll have to remember that

    T.I.M.

    I did find that the candies were most helpful. I haven't eaten them all but the two I did eat. SO GOOD!
    I highly recommend them. Proximity to the source is always helpful.

    You forgot the fourth sneeze..."Bastante ya!" (Translation: "Enough already!")

    And I am so afraid of Airborne...I'm in the process of becomming an elementary school teacher, and frankly, we are not qualified to be creating medicines!

    Ok, at first, I thought ... "Creating medicine? I thought it was 'just add water'?"

    Then I noticed that there was a link to this stuff, and since I've never used it, I followed the link. Lo and behold, it *was* created by a 2nd grade teacher!

    That's just too funny LOL

    Of course, I still think liquor filled candies should work pretty well, right?

    T.I.M.

    LMAO!

    I KNOW I forgot the 4th one, but you were in class and I needed your technical spanish speaking assistance. I figured I would just leave it out and you would come in behind me and...well....thats exactly what you did. So its ALL good.

    I know, I know. You are leery about the whole creating of the medicines. Let me just leave you with this.

    And She WALKED away!

    Love ya girlie!
