When you are sick with a cold, 'flu, or similar, do not drink lots of hot fluids and watch a weepie. You are guaranteed a one-way ticket to phlegm overload.
Here's the deal: hot fluids, whilst comforting, are not good for stuffed noses. The steam breaks the plugs but makes you more liquidy and actually generates more liquid than regular nostrils can cope with. Meanwhile, weepie films, made to make you cry, will actually work ten times better when you are at an all-time low of feeling sorry for yourself because you are ill. Plus, you have the hyper-senstivity of zero immune system and just feeling more vulnerable than usual.
So, drinking tea and watching It's A Wonderful Life is not a good combination! I was sniffly and tearful throughout the entire film. I usually only get emotional at the end. Today, I was even crying when George confronts Mr Gower with the pills he's made up for Mrs Blaine's son with diptheria. I was a freaking mess! Only watch this film during normal healthiness... And you simply have to watch it if you never have before. I love this film!
