K – are you sure you are ok? If I was there I would rub some rockia or maybe an onion on your legs

Me – so I had a fever and I took some Tylenol and slept for 3 hours then I woke up and my host family tried to make me eat undercooked chicken so I told them I was sick to get out of it and then they tried to cover me in chili peppers and wrap me in cloth soaked in rockia until I called the PC doctors to get me out of it

A2 – what do you call a produce sack, oil, lemon & an apron?
Me – heart burn?
A2 – experiencing first –hand the marvels of traditional remedies for curing a sore throat ;-)
Me – so that’s what they do when they don’t have rockia
A2 – yep, sure is! I’m worried that by morning my neck will develop chronic acne…
