Yeah, I used to buy some to keep my stomach acid down. I sometimes use it in salads, instead of regular vinegar.
You have to dilute it, put about 1 cl in a glass and add water, then drink it.

Hope you get well soon. You could try ginger+lemon + honey

Yes, Facebook, Twitter and now Instagram, SnapChat etc are slowly finishing off the forums as we know them...

What also kills some forums is spam and overprotective measures against spammers. I registered at a site sometime ago... I was really keen on posting there at first. I was told my account was to be approved... I waited, thinking it would be like in the old days, you wait a few minutes/hours and tada! You've been approved and you can start posting. But it never happened. Days and weeks passed. My account was never approved. I thought, no wonder you got little to no activity. How do you expect people to post if you take 6 months to validate accounts? You should at least give a chance to posters. You can still ban them later if needed.

The only boards that I see as still active are support forums (with a lot less traffic than in 2007) and I think that's about it.

Merry Xmas to all.

@neemo: hope the kids are having a good time with their new toys.
