I've been sick as a dog with a really special sore throat - the kind that has me whimpering like a kicked puppy every time I swallow - the last few days.  The fever and skeleton-splints (like shin-splints, but everywhere) broke yesterday evening -- happy happy joy joy -- but I still have so much pain swallowing that it's not funny.  All the regular stuff hasn't touched it, so it's time to resort to Down-Home Old-Timey Internet Recipes: Cayenne gargle.  Wish me luck.
