Happy New Year

But you did get to join. That's a good omen for 2013.

 

true and after you had left Katie and I chatted about medical herbs till 2:40 am LOL

Even better omen for 2013: my office neighbour (remember? the annoying prankster) is moving. He gets a new office upstairs. I'm curious who'll get his old one. It's quite big and I suppose they'll put 2 or 3 people in there. Hopefully, nice and quiet ones (the wall is very thin)

 

Why would anyone do this to themselves.

 

^^ Do what?

I hope you came up with something to make Naht feel better.

 

We did indeed. A species invasive to the US which happens to be an old (and actually very tasty) European remedy against coughs: the narrow-leafed ribwort http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantago_lanceolata
For a sore throat I recommend the good old malt candy. Works miracles.
There's no cure for a sniffles, though, afaik. Unless you try Coffni's Cure: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/24276/24276-h/24276-h.htm (IMO one of the best SciFi written in the 20est century)

 

Well, I hope it works. He owes me a couple of audio files. And, by the way, I got the cookies.

 

I got cookies too, today visited my parents for a few hours and mom always tries to stuff me Packed me some yummy apple stroodle for supper, too

 

As did I, last of the x-mas cookies I think, and then I had to set up loads of stuff on my parents new toys (dads ipad and mums galaxy S III) and do some housekeeping on their PC (remove tool-bars mostly) and notebook (software updates mostly)... Oh yeah, what a happy new year: I now have to get to know about both Android, Apple and a Windows version newer than my own just to be able to help my parents
