The first draft is the child's draft, where you let it all pour out and then let it romp all over the place, knowing that no one is going to see it... If one of the characters wants to say, 'Well, so what, Mr. Poopy Pants?' you let her.

Those who know me know that it's rare that I get sick. I honestly can't recall the last time that I got sick with a cold or a flu - and that's despite having five kids. So what's the secret? At the very first sign of a tickle in the throat, gargle with whiskey. I use Jim Beam. No, I'm not kidding. This is not an excuse to drink at odd hours... those who know me also know that I don't drink, except for an occasional glass of merlot or a whimsical dark beer. So there it is, and it works brilliantly. To hell with zinc, vitamin C, echinacea, and Airborne... this treatment prevents a cold. Stops it dead. And it works every time. ETC: After posting this, I thought that I might have to eat crow - what everyone I know had, I felt trying to get me in the form of a scratchy throat and a tickle. So, in a record nine whiskey treatments over a two day period, it's gone. Yep - it works. |

Oh sure, NOW you tell me. :-) For those who found out too late, I recommend a bath as hot as you can stand it, and a cup of hot and sour soup. It doesn't cure you, but it makes you feel better and clears the head enough to help you sleep. Never fails. :-) Love the tree, by the way. |

Hope your cold is getting better... so many of my friends and family have it right now that it seemed important to have a BeatCanvas public service announcement. Thank god prohibition is not still in effect... Glad you like the tree. I think this weekend's painting will be titled "Joy." |

Whiskey, eh? I wonder if rum or tequila will do, since those are the only sorts I keep hidden back for recipes & such...? I mean, is it just the fact that it's hard liquor, or is there something special about Jim Beam? [grin] |
