If it seems a little quiet around the halls of Pensito Review, it’s because PR Editor Jon — fully one-half of our three-person team — was stricken with an exotic California disease earlier this week.
After first making sure with resident expert PR Editor Buck that what Jon, a vegetarian, has is not bird flu, he valiantly submitted to recommendations for various rememdies from both Trish and Buck. Airborne and Emergen-C were both praised, while Zicam was panned.
Later, realizing Jon is after all in California, Buck suggested he avail himself of local custom and have his chakras adjusted, his chi energy redirected, and the feng shui of his apartment realigned.
On a note of familial pride, Jon is to be commended for vigilantly avoiding OTC rememdies that interfere with the body’s natural drinking process.
If you have a favorite flu cure, or just want to send a note of condolence, please post it now.
It lives! (Sort of.)
How did you get the flu? You never go anywhere, or shake hands with strangers. The doors to albertsons open automatically, thereby elimanating the need to touch a door handle. and as pointed out, you’re a veg. nevertheless, I have two remedies. the first is wellness forumula, which you can get a whole foods/health place, and really knocks it all out in a few days. the second is bourbon. cures everything. drink lots, with a twist, for vitamin c.
Fifi - There is a secret above-ground germ factory in Century City that goes by the code name “R&R.” One of their agents infiltrates my hermetically sealed environment on a daily basis in the guise of my life partner. He infected me with the biological agent as part of a diabolical experiment to see what, if anything, can shut me up.
It didn’t work. (Cue EVIL LAUGH.)
I hope you start feeling well soon. I agree with fifi that bourbon is great for the flu, but I would suggest making a hot toddy. Green tea, bourbon and a squeeze of lemon. You’ll be well in no time, and in the mean time, you won’t care.
Thanks, Susan! I’m not quite 100% so I’m going to try your rememdy tonight. I like the mix of Asian (green tea) and old school (bourbon) curative.
