Mark, yeah, it's more like ice-fishing time here in Minnesota than water-skiing time!
 Bring a warm coat and maybe boots if it's snowing. Right now we're in a veritable heat wave, with high's in the 40's. Doubt it will last though. Just a tease. Spring is a long way off still. I forgot I have a neti pot. Will have to try that again. I didn't know you could buy a ready made solution for it. I used to make my own, but I'll stop by the drugstore and see if they carry what Dale was talking about. Thanks you guys. See you soon, Mark, Cindylou (if it works out at all, it would be nice to try and at least have a cup of coffee or something sometime Sunday, no?)

I love the neti pot, albeit a little weird the first couple of times you use it. I actually buy those cheap 'bulb syringes' that you use to suck boogers out of a baby's nose. I suck the solution into it and then squirt it in my nose (good visual, eh?) My sister has actually put apple cider vinegar in her nose for allergies. She says it burns like hell; but feels great afterward. I don't know, too painful for me, seems like it could be harmful; but she and others swear by it (the ole if your friend jumps off a cliff, would you?)

CL if you can get vit C with Zinc it's much more potent than C alone
Also if you can stomach it...try swallowing pieces of raw garlic. Obviously you can;t chew it...yuk...and it may repeat on you but well worth it in my experience! Cathy
