Remedy to cure a chronic sore throat

cayenne pepper I've always gargled with salt water, but apparently this remedy works when antibiotics do not, and is excellent for those weird sore throats that don't seem to go away after 4 weeks (the ones that possibly lead to chronic fatigue syndrome).

Mid week crisis

Years and years ago I promised myself I'd have one of these one day, as soon as I was old enough to buy one. And I'm already thirty. I don't even have a drivers license yet. Seriously - at this rate if I don't start planning towards this dream right away I'll be 60 before I get one, and the thing will be so vintage by then it won't even run anymore.

She has the classic curves of the Isetta - and everyone who knows me well knows that the Isetta is my favourite car of all time, so this little beauty is really doing a number on me. I so badly just want one, an empty but running shell that I can convert and make my own. I reckon this dream is fantastic enough to inspire me to finally overcome my fear of driving and get the license.

I only hope I feel the same way tomorrow.
