$500,000 for a house

(I've returned temporarily ... still under the weather, though)

Beside a brew of syrup, lemon, and hot water, is there anything else for a semi-dry hacking painful cough?

A few years ago, I traveled through eastern Texas and Arkansas and one could literally own a home for $15,000. Yes, it was a shack, and not in the best part of town, but one can't buy a shopping cart out here in southern California for that amount. A decent home in Fort Worth could be had for $70,000.

I think the median price out here in SoCal is something like $475,000. That would buy a little palace in places such as Atlanta.

A friend of mine lives in ND, in a small farming town of 750 people. The woman who lived across the street from here recently died so her family auctioned off the house and the 1 acre of land it was on, and it went for 2,500.00, yep two thousand five hundred dollars, lol.

Oh no :-( Erm, have you tried something like Airwaves, those really hot chewing gums? They're quite good for clearing you out.




Still reading through these.. I guess another requirement would be quiet, I like to hear the birds. No really, I do :) But nothing like Alabama, I just have visions of that film Deliverance with Burt Reynolds in it.

Slightly warming to France though. What's the population density like? Say in the countryside? The density in the countryside here is still quite high since they're building on it left right and centre, there's not much left.

What's an "Airwave"? Is that available here in this country I wonder?

Thank you, by the way, Alison for the suggestion. :)

Thanks for the hugs and for the suggestion, but I've had this for over a week now. I usually can get through most cold symtoms in three or four days. This virus, or whatever it is, has been very persistent. The worst part is not being able to sleep because of the non-stop dry coughing. Sudafed PE did knock it down a bit. :)

I don't think I've seen those packs.

Can you grab some anti-biotics off a Doctor or someone? Not that they'll kill a virus but will boost your immune system. Anything which will give you a kick. Also, lots of fruit veg, no processed foods. Could cold Red Bull work? That's perked me up before when I've been down, otherwise the worst solution going.

I hope you feel ok. :)

Thank you for your concern and suggestions, young lady. I'm about to go eat now in fact ... healthy for the most part (tuna sandwiches,juice,etc). :)
