Disheartened, disgruntled and a little sickened she was, certainly, but the Chitine had come such a long distance and seen so many awful things in the past few months. Jaded was the only expression that really came across.
"The Liber Ivonis... Whad would you trade for id?" She remarked solemnly, trying to ignore the looks that such a proposition would surely generate. The silhouette of Fillis hung in her mind, always. "These... monolith only few. Believe you wouldn', the things I see..."

InterManager, the international trade association for the ship management industry, has pledged to put 'people' at the center of its focus over the next year.
Addressing this year's Annual General Meeting (AGM), at the Lloyd's building during London International Shipping Week, InterManager President Gerardo Borromeo said: "Without a doubt the human element, our global maritime professionals, will remain at the front and centre in InterManager's activities and projects over the next 12 months."
He outlined a comprehensive program of activity for the next year with topics to be covered including best management practices, seafarer health and wellness, enhanced maritime communications and an examination of the administrative burdens onboard ship.
The President outlined the work InterManager has carried out over the past year on behalf of its members. He highlighted the key role the Association played in the International Maritime Organization's symposium on The Future Of Safe Shipping where it chaired the important session on 'safety and the human element'. He vowed to continue to strengthen InterManager's role as a stakeholder at the IMO and encouraged members to communicate any industry questions or concerns to InterManager Secretary General Kuba Szymanski who can rely them through the appropriate channels.
Commenting on the apparent decrease in pirate activity in the Gulf of Aden, and the corresponding increase off the coast of West Africa, Mr Borromeo urged members to remain vigilant in high risk areas and do all they can to comply with Best Management Practices (BMP4).
"As ship managers and crew managers, this is the area where we can certainly make the most difference," he said. "While there is no hard and fast rule on management styles, our commitment to the concept of Best Management Practices has to be the 'Holy Grail' as far as any ship manager or crew manager is concerned."
He also directed managers to aim high when implementing the Maritime Labour Convention, which has been described as the 'Magna Carta for seafarers'. He told members: "The MLC as a standard is not a target to aim for, but provides starting points from which to begin. There is nothing that prevents any quality ship manager or crew manager from promoting higher standards of crew care and welfare for their own purposes and in order to differentiate service levels across the board."
The President was delighted to announce that over the past four years InterManager membership has risen by more than 50% to currently stand at 103 members.
Seven crewmembers were rescued after their 100-foot coastal freighter began taking on water and sank approximately 45 miles north off of Cap Haitien, Haiti, Friday.

Veeva Systems stock soars on debutOctober 16, 2013 @ 3:33 pm
NEW YORK (AP) - Shares of Veeva Systems Inc. nearly doubled in their trading debut Wednesday after the cloud-based software company raised about $261 million in its initial public offering.
Veeva Systems, which is based in Pleasanton, Calif., makes cloud software for pharmaceutical companies and other life science businesses that helps them manage customers and increase productivity. The programs are hosted on remote servers, often called the "cloud." That means that businesses don't need to install and run software in-house, saving on the costs of running their own hardware.
The company priced its offering of 13 million shares at $20 per share. That's above the $16 to $18 per share it had previously expected to price them at.
The stock rose $17.16, or 86 percent, to close at $37.16 Wednesday. It rose as high as $39.64 earlier in the day.
The stock is listed on New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "VEEV."
Veeva Systems did not specify how it would use the money it raises, but said it may use it for acquisitions or investing in other businesses.

Taking it sitting down
Why does 'New Guy' always choose to plop down next to me?
WASHINGTON -- It has happened more times than I can count. The doors slide open on a train car full of half-occupied pairs of seats. As the newcomer enters, we all set our features to maximum stoniness, flick the dimmer switch behind our eyes. New Guy picks his way awkwardly down the aisle. He is praying for an empty row to suddenly materialize, a resentment-free zone rich in the traveller's most treasured resource: space. No luck. He comes closer, closer. Here he is. Here is his stupid bag being stowed against my feet. Here is his stupid arm on the armrest. Here is his stupid aftershave in my nostrils and his stupid music leaking out of his barely muffling headphones two centimetres from my ear.
New Guy, why do you always sit next to me?
When I raised the possibility, with a few lady friends, that I exude some mystical non-sexual "sit next to me" pheromone, they didn't shoot me down. Several insisted that they had it, too. All of them agreed that, in their experience, the newcomer to the train car customarily parks him or herself next to a woman, not a man. A smaller woman, especially. A smaller, younger woman most of all. In other words, the person New Guys deem least likely to intrude into others' personal space.
Personal space is a big deal on public transportation. The Tumblr Men Taking Up Too Much Space on the Train administers a dose of public shaming to real-life New York dudes who somehow cannot make it from 23rd street to 34nd street without splaying their legs like colossi or cavalrymen. The archive offers "an interesting visual representation of the way that men feel totally empowered" to assert their physical presence, writes Huffington Post's Nina Bahadur. Meanwhile, according to the sociology professor Lisa Wade:
"A feminine person keeps her body small and contained... She walks and sits in tightly packaged ways. She doesn't cover the breadth of the sidewalk or expand herself beyond the chair she occupies."
A quick survey of Slate coworkers both male and female supports the hypothesis that, given a choice between sitting next to a man and sitting next to a woman, most people opt to sit next to the woman. All but two of the 16 staffers who answered my email query confirmed this. Of the outliers, one colleague declared himself indifferent to gender but sensitive to age: He avoids older passengers, on the theory that they can be chatty. A second colleague, male, would sooner abut an XY seat than an XX one, for fear of "being perceived as rude, aggressive or creepy."
Of those who vote women with their butts, a few cite the comparatively slighter physiques. Other reasons were more insinuating: a belief that women won't retaliate if disturbed, for instance, or that they are more inclined to share. Ladies don't "throw their weight around," someone ventured. They are "socialized not to take up too much room," and are less likely to be "a horrible jerk" or "a talkative chatterbox" or "disrespectful." "Women on average are more considerate," wrote one colleague.
For female co-workers, that consideration sometimes took on a very specific meaning. "I believe I'm less likely to be bothered if I sit next to a woman," someone wrote. "I probably would pick a woman in my age range with the hope she'd be less of a creeper, won't try to talk to me or hit on me," explained a second. A gay colleague added: "Basically, I assume that women are much less likely to be homophobic and be offended (perhaps to the point of aggression) by my presence than men are. A crowded train with a free seat only between two straight-looking dudes is anxiety-provoking in the extreme. I will stand."

MCLEAN, VA.—The people who bring you The Greatest Show on Earth will be taking Spider-Man, the Hulk, Thor and the Fantastic Four on a worldwide road show.
Feld Entertainment Inc., which produces the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, along with a host of other live shows such as Disney on Ice, is announcing a partnership Wednesday with Marvel Entertainment to produce a live arena show featuring the Marvel universe of characters.
Exact financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. But Kenneth Feld, CEO of Vienna, Va.-based Feld Entertainment, said he expects the show to open in July 2014, and tour arenas domestically and internationally, as the company's other shows do. Production costs will likely exceed $10 million, Feld told The Associated Press in announcing the partnership.
Feld Entertainment has expanded in recent years to acquire several motor sports and monster truck shows aimed at expanding its appeal beyond the young children who go to the circus and girls who flock to the Disney shows. Feld expects the Marvel shows to appeal to older boys, comic book fans and family audiences.
Marvel's chief creative officer, Joe Quesada, said dozens of people have approached Marvel about doing a live show of some sort over the years. The partnership with Feld Entertainment was the first with which he felt comfortable.
"You always have those questions — how are you going to keep it from being goofy, or silly, or unbelievable?" Quesada said. But the level of showmanship in Feld Entertainment's other shows made an impression.
"They're already doing feats that are superhuman to begin with," Quesada said of the performers that Feld Entertainment recruits for its circus and other shows.
Feld said his company's long-standing partnership with Burbank, Calif.-based The Walt Disney Co., which acquired Marvel in 2009, helped establish a level of trust between Feld and the Marvel executives.
The show is in the early stages of development in a new training centre that Feld runs in Ellenton, Fla. Feld and Marvel said there is close collaboration to ensure the characters act in ways consistent with fans' understanding. Quesada said the director — veteran choreographer Shanda Sawyer, who has directed various iterations of the Ringling circus and won Emmy awards for her television work, took a deep dive into Marvel mythology that took him aback.
"We had to pull her back," Quesada said. "I told her, 'I think you're even geeking me out.'"
Trying to bring superhuman characters to life in a live show can be daunting and even dangerous, as evidence by the difficulties suffered in launching the Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark." Several performers suffered injuries ranging from concussions to fractured skulls in what became the most expensive show in Broadway history. The $75 million show has since become one of Broadway's top earners.
"What they tried to do was new for them, but it's the stuff we do all the time in a lot of our businesses," Feld said.
The Marvel universe has thousands of characters — some household names and others known only to the most devoted fans. Feld said a live show provides an opportunity to present a wide variety of Marvel characters in a way that will appeal to even casual fans.
"There's so much mythology and lore with all of these characters — it's like going into this treasure chest of unbelievable gems," Feld said. "There are almost unlimited stories and shows we can create off these properties and characters."
While details of the show remain either under wraps or under development, Feld said the basic plot line is a no-brainer: "The world will be in jeopardy, and the Marvel superheroes will save the world."

No. Students can take either the MAT (Miller Analogies Test) OR the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). Would I be able to start the program before taking the MAT or GRE? Yes.

He has actually better stats than all of the others ( Garchomp , Salamence , Dragonite, Tyranitar, Metagross, ). stats non-legandary highest-stat garchomp tyranitar asked Aug 7, 2013 by GalladeIsMyMan Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 1 vote Yeah Slaking has great offensive stats with good bulk and good speed. His Base Stats are the highest out of all non-legendaries at 670, so it would be a good question, why isn't he a Psuedo-Legendary? The answer is in his ability. Truant. This means he can only make one move every 2 turns which destroys all his usability since an opponent can combine protect + an attacking move to completely destroy Slaking. Additionally Pseudo-legendary is used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage evolution line, 1,250,000 experience at level 100, and a base stat total of exactly 600 - Slaking is above answered Aug 7, 2013 by Sempiternus edited Aug 7, 2013 by MrKijani Show 11 previous comments Kod's answer is correct but there is one other thing:Pseudo legendaries should have two types,which slaking doesn't. Source:http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pseudo-legendary_Pok%C3%A9mon commented Sep 20, 2013 by ZekromMaster edited Sep 21, 2013 by trachy As for removing Truant, that doesn't make Slaking suck any less, as there is no way to remove it without going through a ton of hurt. Double Battles you are using up that turn for Gastro Acid. So one Pokemon is effectively useless that turn. Well even more useless then what all Gastro Acid users besides Amoonguss already are. That Amoonguss is then giving up its moveslot for that Gastro Acid. Meanwhile, the foe is going to focus down Slaking, which is going to be pretty easy to do. So in Doubles, Slaking is far more trouble than it is worth. Now for the Cofagrigus, Mummy, Slaking switch in, Pursuit trick, that's also gimmicky as hell and completely useless. First off, you're having to make Cofagrigus take a physical hit. And then switch out right away. So not only are you damaging Cofagrigus, but you're also risking a lot of health from Slaking with the switch in. Of course your opponent can then switch out right away after getting Mummied. Then Slaking won't be able to pull off Pursuit. Even if you do manage to successfully pull it off, what does that leave you? A damaged Slaking that won't be able to switch out without getting back Truant. commented Sep 21, 2013 by trachy if it didnt have traunt all together it would be just so much of an awesome powerhouse commented Sep 22, 2013 by AwesomeEmboar13579 It would be OP without Truant, it would have to go Ubers. commented Sep 22, 2013 by JarJar~ FACT: Slaking has the same stat total as Regigigas, and they both have abilities that restrict power. But squeeze in some Gastro Acid (removes ability's affect) and BAM! Everything is dead, but it only works in 2 on 2s. commented Oct 4, 2013 by ShinyGyarados Please log in or register to add a comment.

Religion Doesn't Legitimize Discrimination as a Matter of "Conscience"
Plaintiffs in the federal suit over Virginia's gay marriage ban after a hearing in the case last week in Richmond.
Steve Helber/ASSOCIATED PRESS

RICHMOND--Earlier this year, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed legislation that would have allowed businesses to deny service to gay and lesbian customers. The legislation rightly received national attention. For many of us, it conjured up memories of a time when people were refused service at hotels and lunch counters because of the color of their skin or the God they worship.
While the national media attention focused on Arizona, however, Virginia has been moving in this direction for years. This year the commonwealth took another step toward legitimizing the idea that religion gives one a license to discriminate.
In the mid-1970s, after Virginia was sued for failing to conform its abortion laws to the federal Constitution, the Virginia legislature passed a "conscience clause." This caveat allowed hospitals and health care professionals to refuse to offer this medical service to Virginia women based on "personal, ethical, moral or religious grounds" even when the woman's life is
In 2012, the Virginia legislature passed a "conscience clause" that allows state-funded adoption and foster care agencies to refuse to serve prospective parents or needy children based on the state-funded agencies' "religious or moral convictions or policies." This applies even to agencies receiving millions in state and local tax dollars and those performing public functions on behalf of foster children who are legally the commonwealth's children.
In 2013, the Virginia legislature passed a law that requires public colleges and universities to recognize and fund student political and religious organizations. The law holds even if the organizations intentionally discriminate against gay or lesbian students (or people of different faiths or parties) in their membership or leadership. The argument maintains that their religious or political convictions compel such discrimination.
And, in 2014, a "conscience clause" was written into otherwise harmless legislation to license genetic counselors (SB 330, HB 612 ) to refuse service to patients based on the counselors' "deeply held moral or religious beliefs" and shield those same counselors from damages.
All of these so-called "conscience clauses" have one thing in common--they all allow a state-licensed or state-funded person or organization to engage in intentional and purposeful discrimination against any person or class of persons based on their "moral," "religious" or, in one case, "political" beliefs.
Religion doesn't make it ok to discriminate

The seawall at the bottom of this Encinitas bluff is at the heart of a legal battle between the California Coastal Commission and the families who own the homes at the top of the bluff. The wall replaced one destroyed in a bluff collapse in late 2010. The state agency gave a permit only allowing the new wall for 20 years. The families sued and won last year, but the agency appealed. Both sides argued the matter in a state appeals court Monday.

So your stance is as follows: "The admins are abusing their position by putting what they like on frontpage they should be putting what I like on frontpage instead fuck what other people think I am the priority"

The admins are the ones who frontpage stuff, but they also run the site, it's not like they frontpage just what they like, they just post what's trending
The actual reason for deadpool is because I don't believe that terraria has enough memetic spread to require an entry. In hindsight I should've made a comment to explain that, for which I apologize, but weeaboo moot? really?

Commented on Elders React to Men Giving Birth
Oh look a bunch of whining over fine bros again. Real shocker
That's not an excuse. The fact of the matter is that the inclusion of the large amount of the water makes a dent in the games' enjoyment factor, no matter what reasoning there is for all the water doesn't stop it from being less boring. An easy way to fix that would have been to just use less water sections in the original. Sure they can't exactly change that now, but that just means that the problems that existed in the original game are transferred to this one.
Lets take LoZ: Wind Waker for example. A problem in the original game is that travelling between places was often boring. Sure the whole gimmick of the game is the amount of water based travel, but reasoning does not make up the missing enjoyment factor. This was an aspect that was picked up on and fixed in the remake, but that isn't the case with this game, meaning the criticism still stands.
Coming from someone who never played Ruby/Sapphire, so please don't eat me alive because I said something even slightly opposing your obviously objective opinion, but isn't this a fair criticism? From people I've talked to who even adore Gen 3, the main complaint has been "There's too many water sections". Even from the other gens, I've always hated the water sections myself, and found them slightly boring. So in this respect, isn't making this a criticism fair?
Essentially, if the reviewer is following the same logic here, the more water sections, the more bland sections, meaning a less enjoyable experience. That's a totally fair criticism to make if it notably effects the game's enjoyment.

Check out the ProJared review I posted above, it sums up my thoughts pretty well.
Even though we kept warning and punishing users, the problems kept coming back, which is why things had to go the way they did. It could also be argued that the encouragement they got didn't help, surely if people noticed they were acting shitty, they would've stopped
Well no, not really. By YouTube fodder, he means the poorly made cheap Steam games (basically the amnesia ripoffs). Becoming a YouTuber does not mean he has to start playing them, there are more games out there.

What did you or your Mom make when you were sick?
- Munkipawse Jan 30, 2012 11:40 AM
When I was growing up my Mom didn't make the standard for our upset stomaches.... a can of warmed Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup and a handful of Saltines. Rather she would brown up some plain hamburger and mix it with a cup of plain cooked rice.
I can only imagine where she got this idea, but we ate a lot of that whenever we were sick. She'd occasionally substitute boiled chicken if we were out of hamburger, but it was served the same... with a cup of cooked plain rice. We never had this for a regular meal only when we were sick. Strange as it sounds I liked it and would eat it to settle my tummy.
Now that I'm on my own and have my own kids, I tend to make the version with boiled chicken with the rice stirred in for them.
I also refrigerate canned fruit until its icy cold and will eat that when I have a sore throat or the flu.
Don't remember any particular food, but if we had a fever and were in bed she would pile on the blankets and give us a glass of hot lemonade with vodka and wait for the fever to break. Probably not the best idea, but we never complained--how else is a kid going to get a shot of vodka without getting in trouble!
re: escondido123
Holy Smacks! Vodka laced lemonade! Your nurse had a lot better arsenal to work with than mine did. ;-)
re: escondido123
Vodka, that's absolutely blasphemous! Growing up, my mother wouldn't let me have hot lemonade with anything but whiskey ;-)
re: caseyjo
She did love a Gin Martini, so I'm just glad at that age she didn't pour gin instead.
My mom made jello and a beef broth for us when we were sick. White soda to settle our stomach.
I make white rice , throw in the hamburger with it while cooking. This is what my vet told me to give to my dog when she is sick. I have a Westie and they are notorious for sensitive stomachs.
re: Living4fun
Hi L4F, I called my mom and asked her the origin of the hamburger & rice dish she fed us when we were sick. Guess what she said?! When the vet prescribed it for our German Shephard after he ate on some plants that had been sprayed with bug powder she thought the bland diet would work the same for us. Go figure. :-)
a very plain chicken rice porridge ("chao ga" in vietnamese). if we had a cough or sore throat, she would slice lemon and ginger very thinly and cook it in honey until soft.
re: chicgail
My Grandma was a big believer that a large majority of ills could be solved by eating something that would make us poo. I was always a little skeeved out knowing that was her intentions when she would suggest to my mom giving us dried plums or having us take couple gulps of caster oil. She was very old-school in her home remedies.
re: Novelli
+1 on pastina! Not with the cheese though, just lots of butter.
re: Novelli
My mom would also make the pastina, but I don't really remember the butter. We had it with an egg scrambled in it -- like a straciatella -- and grated Romano cheese.
My mom always made me huge batches of cherry jello. I was also likely to get malt-o-meal and saltine crackers. If I was sick with a cold, I could usually talk her into making me a grilled cheese sandwich (made white bread and velveeta, naturally) and Campbell's tomato soup.
The best days where when I was recuperating from sports injuries, because she'd make me nachos, burritos, pizza, and all sorts of other delicious greasy treats. But if I tried to pull that when I had the cold or flu, I'd get accused of faking.
re: caseyjo
And, I forgot to mention, that when I'm sick now I help myself to hot toddies (hot tea, whiskey, and lemon) and I order in pho. I have a theory that spicy foods clear the sinuses so I make sure to throw in jalapeños and sriracha.
Whenever I was sick as a child, my grandma would send out for take-out Chinese wonton soup and white rice. To this day I still crave it if I have a cold or sore throat. And if I'm ever on the phone with her and she hears me cough or sneeze, she tells me "Go call the House of Chang for some soup" (BTW, the House of Chang closed about 15 years ago, and I don't even live anywhere near where it used to be).
Mom would always make toast with a little butter and white sugar when I was sick. Later in the day, she'd make a batch of chicken soup with carrots and celery (if she had items on hand). If not, she'd make me plain bean burritos.
If it was stomach bug, she'd make my dad pick up Ginger Ale or 7-Up from the grocery store.
re: gator28
My mom also gave me toast with butter and sugar - but she'd then put it in a shallow bowl and pour warm milk over it. We only had this when she was trying to "keep something down".
re: rainmom
yes, milk toast! maybe a bit of cinnamon.
My mom subscribed to the BRAT diet when we were sick, so all this talk of stuff with butter is making me kinda jealous!! Dry toast for most of the sickness, she'd mash some bananas on it when we were feeling a bit better. Saltines were allowed, too. Flat ginger ale to drink. and yeahhh that's about it.
ETA: I forgot to mention applesauce. Plain unsweetened homemade applesauce. Soooo good!! It was my favorite part of being sick, since usually we ate apples raw or in pies/crisps. She would cook the apples with the skins on so the applesauce would be pink. This is making me want to cook some up now...
re: BigLizard8
Potato soup... always potato soup. I made it for both my grandmother and my mother when they were dying.... Just very plain potato soup. Comfort.
For upset stomachs, once danger of emesis was past, my mother would give me a jelly jar glass of flat coke, and be urged to sip it. Also, Lipton Chicken Noodle soup would be offered, fortified with additional extra-fine Pennsylvania Dutch egg noodles. If I was really lucky, she would make homemade eggnog with REAL eggs! This was long before you heard about eggs being contaminated with salmonella. I miss that eggnog!
Ginger ale, homade applesauce and lots of it. There's alot of truth in the benefits of a big dump!
re: magiesmom
Same here with the chicken soup, and sometimes a thick ham and bean soup depending on what was on hand. Worked great and was always a pleasure to slurp down,
re: Njchicaa
Was Mrs. Grass the one with the egg-shaped buillion cube in it? Now that was some salty goodness.
Chicken and stars soup from Campbells. Also, ginger ale, and had to be Canada Dry.
I had to laugh, Munki, the hamburg-n-rice dish was always for our sick dogs (and German Shepherds were mom's favorites). Hamburger was boiled with the rice like Living4fun's family did. Thanks for a giggle! :)
re: DuchessNukem
Well it worked so I guess my Mom's logic made some sense. Heh. To this day its still my go-to- meal when I'm feeling icky or have an upset stomach.
Crumbled fried lean ground beef; rice; broth; Campbell's soup; gingerale or 7-up; mashed bananas, scrambled eggs and toast, hot cereal. It all kind depended on the illness.
i have made soft boiled eggs with toast crumbled in for my kids, baked potatoes, noodles,butter and cottage cheese.....depending on the ills.
Congee, garnished and mixed with the Chinese pork floss and pickled soy-sauce cucumbers. And, if I was really ill, she'd throw in a Thousand Year Old Egg for good measure.
Lipton Chicken Noodle soup packets. The kind with a lot of little noodles. I'd doctor it up with black pepper and Tabasco.
Depending on the malady and invariably it was the same (upset tummy, fever, cold) it was ginger ale and saltines plus chicken noodle soup if it was a cold. For Grandma however it was way worse. You did not get sick on her watch because you got Fernet Branca even if it was a cold and had nothing to do with your stomach. I remember when Spiaggia (Chicago) restaurant first opened in the 1980's and I saw Fernet Branca on the bar menu. I almost walked out. I couldn't believe that a place that *sold* fernet branca could actually offer good food. I hated that stuff probably much like children from an earlier era hated cod liver oil and the like. The only consolation for fernet branca was that Grandma always made tortellini (meat and cheese or spinach and cheese) in brodo as a chaser.
The Lipton chicken noodle soup in the packets with saltine crackers and ginger ale.
Once I was feeling better I was upgraded to Campbell's Vegetarian Vegetable Soup (still a childhood comfort food for me) with cheese toast.
Poorly food always started with Heinz cream of tomato soup (and still does in this household). There'd then be a moving on to sardines on toast when I was feeling a little better.
When I was sick, my mother would make milk toast for me. If I made it to the second day, she poached an egg in milk and served that on toast. seven up for an upset stomach. And sometimes a liquorless Tom and Jerry or hot toddy for a cold. I don't remember any soups, but maybe my memory is just failing? She really wasn't very big on soups.
re: Caroline1
I haven't thought about milk toast in a zillion years! My mother made that too! I think I ate it, though I hated drinking milk as a child-- and still do!
I had numerous bouts with strep throat - so lots of Popsicles.
For that uncontrollable, exhausting wet cough which has settled in the lungs she would have me slowly sip a mixture of honey, lemon juice and whiskey. Cuts the phlegm, soothes the throat and helps you sleep.
Upset stomachs treatment started with saltines, hot clear broth or bouillon and ginger ale. As I improved it moved to toast, eggs, noodles in broth and bananas. When the end was in sight it was (my favorite) Campbell's tomato soup made with milk and served with a little butter melting on top and a grilled cheese (American on white bread). Once in a while she would switch it up with Campbell's chicken gumbo soup, especially for a head cold.
My mom sometimes made banana milkshakes for me. It was the same as a regular milkshake (milk + ice cream + Hershey's syrup) but with a banana thrown in. Maybe that's why I like banana smoothies as an adult. :) They are a bit lighter now - milk, peanut butter, a drizzle of honey, and a frozen banana.
A Ginger Ale with a straw!! Still love it to this day....
And scrambled eggs with toast....the scrambled eggs were creamy, but cooked (I like my scrambled dry & cooked) - how she did that I don't know. And the toast was crispy on the outside & slathered with butter....delicious!
Nowadays when I'm sick I try & get some Tom Yum soup - best thing for you! Even chicken noodle from Wawa will do...
Our home rule was always that you could have whatever you wanted while you were sick. If you were not yet up to eating, you could plan for what you would have in a few days when you would feel better, and she would go shopping for the ingredients to make it - usually homemade mac & cheese (which she made with cottage cheese - the Greeks did this where they didn't have any feta), a macedonian chicken and tomato rice dish, or homemade chicken noodle soup, complete with homemade noodles. Sometimes if it was last minute we'd just go for whatever variety of canned campbell's soup we had an the ever-present saltines.
Mom always had a pot of homemade chicken stock on the stove. So I got that with wonton dumplings filled with shrimp, pork, mushrooms & waterchestnuts. Plus I had to finish off a qt. of pineapple-grapefruit or apple juice every 4 hours.
'Pobs', buttered white bread cut in to cubes, sprinkled with sugar and then
scalded milk poured over it.
Me being English , I was surprised to find that the Dutch have this also, and they call it
'Pobs', mention 'Pobs' to a Hollander and a silly look will go over their face, (mine also)
I had terrible cases of strep, including a chronic case that lasted over 8 months until my tonsils were taken out at 17, so lots of sore throat foods. Popsicles, sherbet, Campbell's chicken and stars soup, mashed potatoes.
As an adult, my food allergies prevent me from having a lot of things, but because of my asthma, I tend to get a good amount of sore throats from coughing/croup, and I also tend to eat a TON when I'm sick since we have to up my steroid doseages. Current favorites when sick now (priority is quick and easy) are Celeste frozen pizzas, mac and cheese, and cheesy grits.
Not a damn thing. As an adult, it's my homemade chicken soup with really good toasted sourdough. And trashy TV.
I remember my mom would usually go for the can of chicken noodle when she was busy. When she had time she would make some yogurt ice pops and cinnamon toast. As I got into my early teens my mom made a miso ginger soup with chunks of chicken, soba noodles and chard.
Vernor's [and only Vernor's] Ginger Ale
Soft scrambled eggs
Toast with honey
Mint tea with honey
Wow - so many different moms with many of the same ideas. Aren't moms great?
My mom's sick-bed favorites were Ginger Ale & dry toast for upset stomachs, both Lipton's Chicken Noodle & Mrs. Grass's Chicken Noodle (with the little golden "egg" that I always HAD to add to the pot myself - lol!) soups for general colds, & hot tea laced with lemon & a good shot of a commercial alcoholic beverage called "Rock 'n Rye", which was rye whiskey that had a few wooden stirrers of rock candy in the bottle for sore throats (& to put us to sleep - lol!).
Of course, lots of citrus juice & anything that we particularly had a taste for once we started feeling better.
I've always made my kids cubed Spam and potatoes, fried up in a pan. That's a special treat for them when they're sick and they swear it's a cure-all. Of course they've been raised eating Spam having a Polynesian mother, so the Spam 'n potatoes is our go-to when they've got the blehs.
re: Mutch2Do
Spam and potatoes sound great, maybe some onion when not sick?
My mom made egg in the whole she would butter toast and fry it in a skillet. She then cut a hole in it with a biscuit cutter and break an egg in the middle and then fry the egg. Dip the cut hole in the yellow! She also made "milk shakes" with only milk, egg and flavorings; no ice cream.
For colds..homemade chicken stew
Upset tummy--- jello and ginger ale
Either way i got to drink coke or sprite...neither of which i could have on a regular basis
