I'm Expiring - DPChallenge Forums

And I didn't even know it. I mean, I woke up with a slight headache, and a little bit of a sore throat -- but I've had a cold for 6 days now, and I thought I was getting better. But now I find out I'm expiring in 21 days.

Such a shock.

I heard that marshmallows are good for a sore throat, wine for your headache and are you sure you'll expire in 21 days or is it a best before date?

No it says in big red letters that it's in 21 days. (marshmallows are good for a sore throat???)

Mines in 12. I'm winning this challenge.

edit - Still undecided as to what I'm going to do. Pretty sure I know what you'll be doing if it isn't done already.

Wow -- that still seems really weird. It's hard to swallow anything with a sore throat, and marshmallows are dry on a normal day...

I think I'll go stick my marshmallow in some hot chocolate with Bailey's Irish Cream and see if I'm still expiring tomorrow. :)

Do you think expiring will get me out of housework?

We had marshmallows robed in dark chocolate for dessert tonight. No one's throat hurts, and no one appears to be expiring. I suspect they would also taste VERY good in the aforementioned hot chocolate/Bailey's concoction. And have you tried whipped cream flavored vodka in hot chocolate? I don't know that it healed anything but it sure was tasty. You should try several variations. After all, alcohol is a preservative ...

Then you'd better not expire. Your housework needs you!

Yes, but it also suppresses your immune system ... :-(

Half a gallon of whiskey in a day ... I'd be expired for sure! And I don't know about putting marshmallows in whiskey ;-p

There's something odd about someone already dead, expiring....

Had some Madeleine's with melted chocolate on them this evening. That should bring almost anyone back to life.

Oh no! We may be facing a pandemic!

Tangy -- I've never actually had a Madeleine. Are they more or less effective than marshmallows? Or, since this is spreading so fast, should we be looking at Madeleines, marshmallows and gallons of whiskey? (Can I skip the whiskey? please?)

Cool! Thanks! It's Friday night here so that's me sorted for the weekend. Actually I think I hear a nice red calling....

So how goes it, Wendy? Are you still expiring?

Personally I like Sapporo beer for a sore throat, though Beau's Lugtread Lagered Ale will also do in a pinch. Whiskey...nah, that's for when I can't sleep :-)
