cigarettes leave you breathless

i've had a nagging cough for a few days now. it completely brings me back to grade 4 when watching a video in class, i held my breath to keep from coughing. occasionally a burst of air would squirt past my lips mimicking fart noises, but i thought that was better than coughing uncontrollably. stupid kid. i just sat there and suffered in silence instead of getting a drink of water or at least letting it out. what a chlamydiot! i have a scarf wrapped around my neck to "steam" away the cough - hey, it works for colds so why not this? (don't follow? ask your friendly neighbourhood asian...and while you're at it ask them about "hot air" too)

Medicinal Recommendation: Buckley's Mixture - i was mucho impressed with how quickly this brought relief. all day i've been taking swigs of extra strength Robitussin cough & cold and the only thing it did for me was make me drowsy. "it tastes awful. and it works". well, for sure it works but the fact that i expected it to taste so bad made it easier to swallow. don't get me wrong, it's extremely foul...but never quite as bad as you imagined (it was a fear of vomiting at the taste that kept me from taking buckley's in the first place). props to the marketing team for that one.
