Jessie mentioned la...I think you're right v-grrrl. Jessie mentioned last night that she didn't think it had completely cleared up ... so we're going to look into the whole thing more deeply as this chronic kind of tonsillitis has been a problem for over a year.<BR/><BR/>I'm making her v-grrrl's fabulous chicken soup tonight ... I told her that she should forget all other lovely soups that went before because this one is stunning.<BR/><BR/>'Rhinopharyngite!' ... that's so excessive for the simple cold. I think it reflects an attitude maybe ... the settler set, colonisers, world explorers are probably more likely to say ... It's just a cold, no worries, I'll break that back block of land for you tomorrow. <BR/><BR/>Whereas 'rhinopharyngite' would clearly require hospitalisation.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Peter, I had no idea about the fact that angina covered 2 conditions in English ... I had never heard it referred to in that way until I was in our elevator here in the city.<BR/><BR/>Hi t, of course there are consistent compliments on your blog, it's truly superb!<BR/><BR/>And as for your chicken soup idea ... it was a good one and she's having it for dinner tonight.Di Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-52571063177390385762007-05-28T15:45:00.000+02:002007-05-28T15:45:00.000+02:00hi Di,oh, i hope the little one gets better soon. ...hi Di,<BR/><BR/>oh, i hope the little one gets better soon. chicken soup, maybe? <BR/><BR/>thanks for the consistent compliments on my blog!<BR/><BR/>bests,<BR/>t.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-85981548563257449132007-05-28T15:14:00.000+02:002007-05-28T15:14:00.000+02:00I'm glad she's better now the meds have kicked in....I'm glad she's better now the meds have kicked in. <BR/><BR/>But many people do not seem to be aware of the fact that even in English "angina" covers two very distinct conditions: <BR/><BR/>- a very serious heart condition<BR/>- a painful, severe soar throat<BR/><BR/>(they both have a strangling pain in common, but at a completely different location, and obviously, <BR/>the throat variety is not life threatening)<BR/><BR/>http://www.answers.com/topic/anginaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-37998296194019962362007-05-28T13:44:00.001+02:002007-05-28T13:44:00.001+02:00Ah yes, the old 'angine' misunderstanding.They do ...Ah yes, the old 'angine' misunderstanding.<BR/><BR/>They do that to poor unsuspecting expats in France too!<BR/><BR/>It's no surprise that a simple cold in the nose becomes a 'rhinopharyngite' here, is it?Antipodeessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17559657306491019975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-61455776899675867882007-05-28T13:44:00.000+02:002007-05-28T13:44:00.000+02:00Poor Grrrl.

My daughter's 20 but it all felt the same in a way, and if not then then this morning, when little Miss Two and I were sitting on the bed with her, chanting 'drink, drink, drink' as one does when one wants someone to drink that heavy duty soluble antibiotic lol.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to meet the little man who gives away 5 million euros ...
