The power of Twitter.
I recently tweeted that I was complaining of a nagging sore throat. I don’t like taking drugs so I was hoping my own immune system would just take care of it. But after 3 weeks of phlegm and coughing, I reached out for some tips. And within 5 minutes, I got all this! Tips from literally all over the world. That’s pretty awesome. One of those things that could not have happened 5 years ago. Here are the tips in case you’re under the weather also. You can just feel the T.L.C. in these Tweets. Haha…
Twitterの影響力。
最近長引いているのどの痛みをtweetしました。薬を飲むのは好きではありませんので僕自身の免疫力で治せないかと願っていました。でも3週間のタンとセキで、みんなに相談をしてみました。すると5分もしないうちにこんなに返信が!世界中から色々秘訣。すごい。5年前だったらありえないことですよね。風邪気味の方へ、対処方法の数々です。思いやりが感じられるTweetsです。笑。。。

thats crazy u posted these…but seriously eating spicy foods helps…i have been doing that since high school whenever i felt a aore throat coming on….
JS, just got the A4 shirt off ebay. Love it. Just washed and dried it, will have to save it for that special occasion to “stunt” on ‘em. Anyways, for fighting a cold, bring it back to ground zero: sleep 8 hours a night, drink water, dress warm – and avoid caffeine and other stimulants that keep you from your sleep! You’ll be fine. – RACINGMIX
That’s one of the great things about twitter, replies and suggestions from the masses.
Onitsuka Tiger 60th Anniversary Zodiac race
Hi Darrin,
I hope you are well, when I saw your site I liked it and wondered if you may be
interested in posting a cool animated video for Onitsuka Tiger sneakers.
The film is about the Zodiac Race, set on a shoe shaped island, and shows how the animals
competed against each other to secure a coveted place in the calendar.
You can see an example post of the video here http://www.muppetism.com/?p=399
Please check if this would be of interest to you and your readers,
if you do think this is relevant and in keeping with your site,
I hope you could embed the video and write about it on your blog.
Many thanks, I hope you are interested in this opportunity,
and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards
Toby Young
Mama Eden says Throat Coat tea is the way for peeps who aren’t into cold meds. Also, make a pot of miso with a a whole onion and 3 cloves of garlic, strain and drink all day.
Apple Cider Vinegar also helps…
