Happy Hump Day Speakies:
I did some reading today on the Super Bowl Commercials concerning viewer favorites. I personally liked the Darth Vader one, the space ship picking up the car and the grandfather who came back from the ashes. The game was good not the best I’ve seen but good. The entertainment please, Christine Aguilera screwing up the National Anthem was a fair screw up but she did not top Roseanne singing it at San Diego Padres games years ago. The Black Eyed Peas performance reminded me of the Lambda Lambda Nerds performance in the Revenge of the Nerds Movie doing that techno thing. With all those other stars popping up, I was waiting for Snoop Doggy Doggy to make an appearance.
We have a strange holiday to celebrate today it is “NATIONAL TOOTHACHE DAY”, so if you are suffering from tooth pain this is your kind of holiday. My grandmother had a temporary cure for a tooth that started acting up. Take a shot glass of whiskey, take a big sip and hold it on the tooth for as long as you could stand the burning sensation. The tooth got numb and sometimes you did too. Those home remedies how could you ever forget them? I’m trying to remember some other granny remedies let see, there was one with Vicks Vapor Rub on your throat and then wrapping your throat with a white flannel cloth. I guess it was great for chest congestion. My favorite was the one for the flu or a bad cold coming on. Granny would brew some hot tea, with honey, a little sugar and a strong shot of whiskey, you drank that, went right to bed and I’m telling you in an hour you would be sweating out the flu. Now in the winter granny had those homemade down comforters and when you covered yourself with those you could not move but you were warm. I had one for many years and finally all the silky covering started to give way and that was the end of Mr. Comfort for me.
Now that football season is over, baseball is just around the corner. If you are a fan and visiting Florida, there are many cities that are home to spring training games so enjoy one if you can. That’s about it for today Speakies, have a wonderful day and evening, be careful and hug those family members when you get home tonight.

I remember pastes applied to the chest. Google doesn't have one called "anaflagestine" so I am going by memory.
Another was the old mustard plaster. Hot goop on a cotton cloth and allow to do whatever it did. Yech.
