Have a good one folks!
Every new year starts the same way for me...
Me being sick as a dog.
No, not from a hangover, but rather from family Christmas parties. See, my family has a tradition. No one can manage to keep their germ-ridden plague factories known as kids home. They insist on bringing them to the get-together regardless of whatever malady they've caught and want to share it with everyone else.
Now, this may not be a big deal to the other parents in attendence since they tend to have immunity to the variety of plagues those little monsters get, but to those of us without children, it means at least a week of head colds, sore throats, and aches that we don't need.
And this year was no exception.

Tips for next year:
Wash your hands a lot and for at least 30 seconds each time.
Eat before they do. They're little, push them out of the way. (Then wash your hands.)
Throughout the month before, eat plenty of garlic to boost your immune system.
Throughout the month before, drink plenty of orange juice to boost your immune system.
Take Zicam during the experience.
Suck on zinc lozenges throughout, as well.
And the best advice to avoid a cold next year:
Go to Hawaii and call them on Skype.
The Alt Alphabet ~ OPC: Other People's Characters ~ Terrific Screenshots of Cool ~ Superhero Fiction

So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

It doesn't really matter what I do, since it's a closed house and they insist on bringing runny-nosed and hacking children around. I could go in a giant plastic hamster ball w/filtered air and no contact and STILL end up sick as hell about 1-2 days after the event, simply because it seems like they spend time rolling around in the deepest parts of the Congo beforehand and bring back mutant cold germs.
Wishing everyone brightest blessings in 2011...
