Combating The "Mean Reds" & Other Sickiness.

It's Winter time. People are getting sick all around me. Sick, anxious, depressed, recovering from surgery...

While I use, and encourage others to use, Bikram yoga to help deal with these things... Sometimes you need a little something extra. For me, I pull out Saltines and slather strawberry jelly on them while sipping a Coke Zero.

That is my go-to "feel better" cure.

And with the exception of the Coke Zero (which used to be regular Coke, until Coke Zero came about a few years ago), this has been my go-to since university days. There was a short period, circa 2001-2002, where I would use Cheez-Its instead of Saltines (sans jelly, usually)... But I always went back to my original.

Saltines, jelly and a Coke are cheap. I've always been able to afford them. Even when I was making $18,000 a year in television news, working in Tucson.

What's your "feel better" cure?
