Quotes that Celebrate Family

The love between family members is one of the strongest human connections, so here are a handful of quotes to celebrate family selected by the Vujar review team.

"Family is just accident. They don't mean to get on your nerves. They don't even mean to be your family, they just are."

-Marsha Norman

"Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family; whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."

-Erma Bombeck

"Family quarrels have a total bitterness unmatched by others. Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of tang, pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, based on the tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later for you to climb back."

-Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

Hot whiskey can provide relief from cold and flu

Cold weather brings the sniffles and that usually means stocking up on cold and flu drugs and trying to ride it out. Or course, prevention is often better than cure and stocking up on vitamins can head off the worst the season can throw at you.

However, if you are struck down, there’s a good chance you’ll sink into self-pity and just want to be comfortable. You’ll reach for all the remedies you can, both natural and man-made. A nice comforting hot whiskey is often recommended to soothe your weary self, but it actually does have some medicinal properties too.

Now, it must be stated that at this stage that too much alcohol will end up making you feel much worse. Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it deprives the body of liquids – the very opposite of what you need to do when you have a cold or flu.

The good thing is that you just need one hot whiskey to derive all the benefits of it. Scientists have said that alcohol can dilate the blood vessels, which will in turn allow mucus membranes to fight the infection. The hot water in the ‘hot toddy’ can also help free up your nasal passages which have been blocked by the cold or flu.

If you want to make a hot whiskey, all you need to do is put a small measure of whiskey in a warmed glass (swirling round a bit of hot water in it should do the trick). Top up the glass with more hot water and add lemon and cloves and a bit of honey or sugar to taste.

A hot toddy is also a great accompaniment to a good book which you can find at www.vujar.com.
