Even though the wrench was actually with the drum.. Fast forward to this weekend, and another drum came..also with its own wrench attached.. You start to see how I got away without having a wrench set* all these years. * I tend to use "adjustable wrenches", and locking "Vice-Grip" wrenches more often than not. But "socket wrench" sets get used often. Edited January 8 by Love Zhaoying "away" not "aware", added info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear that does wonders for throats.. I'm gonna try the other things you mentioned also. Thank you 20 hours ago, Arielle Popstar said: Stop me if I have mentioned this before (I have ) but I still swear by vaporized propylene glycol as the best remedy against a wide array of potential respiratory ailments. Best used if it is just coming on but also may well prevent it from getting too bad due to its anti-bacterial and viral efficacy. Propylene glycol inactivates respiratory viruses and prevents airborne transmission Ok I stand corrected from coming across a new/old remedy which involves breathing in vaporized/nebulized salt water solution as research and old wisdom has proven it has an anti-viral, anti-bacterial effect in the respiratory system. My Pet peeve would be why noone knew the efficacy of such a simple remedy where it even is said to minimize the effect of the Covid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Garlic also has anti-bacterial/anti-viral properties. I take it regularly and double up if I feel as if I'm coming down with something. There are a lot of natural substances with beneficial properties. None of them will CURE anything AFAIK but they may decrease the severity and length of an illness. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a saline gel that I use for my nose when it gets really dry or irritated -- Denver has no real humidity to speak of, so dryness is something we are always fighting. I've not heard of it for the lungs though -- definitely going to check that out. 3 hours ago, Rowan Amore said: Garlic also has anti-bacterial/anti-viral properties. I've always said that my garlic intake is what keeps me from getting every little thing that my husband brings home from his office.

Always has been. Though I have heard of the nebulizing saline treatment, I just had not associated it with the salt component. Where I first realized it, was when it was mentioned about using a hypertonic saline solution which is about 3x the level of salt of a regular saline solution. My mother who had chronic asthma when she was young living in Dordrecht, never heard or was never treated with it, though perhaps living as close as she did then to the sea, it wasn't seen as providing any more benefit then she already got from living that close by. I read yesterday that Europe does now promote salt solutions much more then here in Canada.

Peeve: The big pharmaceutical industries always want to sell their expensive treatments. They try to push doctors too, to prescribe their stuff. Of course they have achieved wonderful things over the years, but they also push their treatments until goes no more. Sometimes even when studies prove that they don't work that great at all.

Before the Covid days, I hadn't been sick enough to be 'down for days' since more than a decade earlier when I smoked and got bronchitis every year. When Covid came around, I managed to avoid it until fall of 2022. Since then, I tend to pick up the crud my husband brings home on a more frequent basis, but my version of it is usually nothing more than a sniffle or so - thus not really impacting my life at all. This one really hit me hard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
