Why does fudge sting...

So, I'm still sick. Doesn't bode well for getting married, does it?

First the flu, now a throat infection. My throat’s been sore for over a week now, so I visited the Minute Clinic at CVS Pharmacy to get a strep test. They’ll call me today or tomorrow with the results. But I can say that the Nurse Practitioner at MinClin was a very positive endorsement of the new way of doing healthcare. I would say it’s a ringing endorsement of the non-socialized healthcare scheme. Because of all the H.S.A.’s and Flex-spend insurance schemes, places like MinClin are popping up all over, and they really do provide a great service.

In closing, here are some things I learned while driving to Missouri(the I is pronounced “uh) and back with a throat infection, quantified as pro’s and con’s:

Pros:

• Minute Clinic is fast, friendly, genuinely helpful, and cheap!
• Halls Max© are great on a sore throat.
• DQ Mr Misty drinks are also great on a sore throat.
• Lidocaine(C₁₄H₂₂N₂O) is not tasty, but it makes your mouth feel funny.
• Tea + Honey = good.

Cons:

• Tea + Whiskey = ouch!
• All other cough drops and sprays suck, they don’t help at all.
• Any carbonated beverage hurts my throat.
• Taco’s are not a good idea when you have a sore throat.
• People say tea + lemon = soothing. They are liars. Turns out lemon juice is 49% citric acid. Do you think it’s a good idea to add acid to a sore, inflamed mucous membrane? Yeah, I thought so.

Also, I'm bored. Here's a test I passed, stolen from Noel's blog.
