The smart money?s on no rate hike). Sprint shares were hopping Monday on the news...
...already be using (like Triaminic, Contac or Drixoral). Of course, you're then faced with cracked lips, a scratchy throat and stinging eyes, but it's good to know that apart from drying up the offending effluent they are probably helping to shorten the disease cycle. So stock up on those pills and syrups, and just think - this winter, you could be spared one of the annoyances of the season: the inevitable balls of lint left sticking to clothes after a long-forgotten tissue is put through the laundry...
