Thanks. I recruited the help of Monsieu...Charles,<br /><br />Thanks. I recruited the help of Monsieur Macron because I don't trust my US readers to know that the romanized "mom" is pronounced "mohm" and not "mahm." Admittedly, I don't apply the macron consistently, but the moment I wrote "momsal," the fanciful pronunciation "mahmsull" popped into my head (i.e., the "mom" sound of "Mom" and the "-sal" sound from "sisal") and grew into a paranoid fixation. Et nous voilà.<br /><br />Am currently coughing up some nicely dark, foul-tasting mucus, just FYI. No more fever and no other cold symptoms, but my back still aches, and I've still got a cough. I'd better not be sick like this next week, as I'm planning to walk 66 km in 24 hours starting on Saturday the 23rd. Longest 24-hour walk ever, I think—even longer than the Portland-to-Cascade Locks walk in 2008.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-2831069701276488072017-09-14T08:40:45.930+09:002017-09-14T08:40:45.930+09:00Hope you feel better!

I swear that mix was as effective as anything whenever I was sick with mōmsal (몸살.) Those small ground powdered packets of hanyak taste awful, but it tends to clear out the sinuses and mucous in a day or two.Neil Barkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-3198840391191973262017-09-13T01:51:01.491+09:002017-09-13T01:51:01.491+09:00Good luck, Kevin.
