Day 31: OTC Meds

I know.  Generally OTC meds are considered to be of the devil, especially to people who prefer more natural methods and things like that.  But sometimes you just need the fake, but potent, stuff.  Sometimes you just need the stuff created in a lab that is going to knock the sickness literally out of your body.  That's what I resorted to today.  And so today I am grateful for the meds from the devil. :) I needed them and I think the OTC ones I took were just strong enough to save me from a Doctor's trip.  Yes, I try to employ natural remedies when I get sick and I try to do things in a way that doesn't support the pharmaceutical companies of this nation but today I was grateful for what I had in my medicine cabinet that is definitely helping me feel better.

*Today's Gratitude Attitude is a bit of a stretch for me but all I did today, literally, was lay around either sleeping or watching truly mindless TV.  And I felt it was way too shallow to be grateful for mindless TV so I went for the next one up from that.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
