Fall Clothing and Remedies

[QueenAdeela]

My grandmother use to tell us that Oct 15 was when you put on your fall/winter attire.  Items such as t-shirts and thermal underwear were pulled out of the drawer.  And to this day...I still pull out my tshirts and my tights to wear under my clothes.  I raised my children like this too, and they are doing the same with their children.  And we don't have many colds.  My last cold was 2/9/05 and I am proud of that because I use daily measures of prevention to keep from getting sick.  I wear turtlenecks...I have all colors...they do not bother me like some women say they can't wear them.  I put cough drops in my tea everyday,  and if I feel a little itch in my throat,  I take a small sip of Nyquil just to coat the throat.  And that has sustained me all these years.  I eat good soups too.
