Jacob's Picks



#1 Zicam Gel Swabs-These are a miracle in a tube. For all you moms who can't afford to be sick, and everyone else in the world who just hates the common cold, here is your remedy. I had the tell tale signs of an upcoming cold 48 hours ago. My throat was already sore and I was dreading the coming days. Then I remembered my Dad telling me that Zicam had worked for him. I also had heard Rush Limbaugh endorse the product. Lee says that if Rush says it works, it works! :) So I had Lee go and get it for me. (I couldn't go myself...I was already feeling sick;) ) Now I am fit as a fiddle and have all of my energy back. I HIGHLY recommend this product, as does Jacob. Because if Mommy is sick it's no fun.







#2 Orchestra Wives-Looking for a new movie? Try an old favorite! Jacob has chosen to watch this movie over Sesame Street on several occasions. He was particularly adamant about watching it this morning. It is an old black and white that stars Glenn Miller's Band as the Gene Morrison Band. It is a story of love between a trumpet player and his biggest fan! There is music and dancing and best of all, the absence of profanity. Our favorite quote from the movie is when George Montgomery's character, Bill Abbott, says to Ann Rutherford's character, Connie Ward: "Now listen, cutie-pie. I'm a big bad trumpet player. And never in my life have I seen anything so gorgeous coming off a dance floor. I've seen thousands. I've kissed some of them. But not like I'm gonna kiss you." And after a very dramatic kiss he asks, "Do you carry a battery?" It's priceless. It is my favorite movie and looks like it might be Jacob's as well. When he is watching it he will pick up one of his trumpets and just play right along.

I'll have to look that one up. After all we both know that trumpet players are the best!
As for Zicam, I made the mistake of getting the "disolvable" tablets. Sure they are disolvable if you can stand the taste in your mouth for the time it requires to dissolve. It's bad, really bad. Besides that, it didn't work for me. I want to try the swab one though...next time!
