'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The rest will drain out of your nose, generally for the next hour or so, when you least expect it.
The ocean did that to me. The Pacific, to be precise. The Caribbean wouldn't be so presumptuous. I was in krav with something warm and salty dripping from my nose. Wasn't till I made it to the bathroom that I realised I hadn't preemptively gotten a nose bleed.
I really wish I could watch the Oscars, but I am at the razzenfrazzen theater, witing for the evening show to begin. Feh. At least I can watch it on tape, and fast forward through most of it. I'll get to see Jon Stewart's stuff, though.
I've never been to JCPenney's website before. I saw a commercial, liked the dress, went to the website... and it came up on Plus Sizes. I'm not sure whether to be insulted or scared.
Sean, we're Tivo-ing it if you want a copy later.
My TiVo just tried to get me to switch to Law and Order Criminal Intent. I was like "hmmm....", but decided to stick with the Oscars, if only for the watch and post in Natter. ;)
Spidra, I know it's gross, but have you tried saline water, or a neti pot? Sucking salt water up your nose isn't the most delightful thing ever, but it's the only thing that stopped the persistent pain in my sinuses.
I second this idea, and would expand on it. When I was a kid, I didn't have a pediatrician, I had an ears, nose and throat man. One of the times I was particularly miserable with a sinus infection, he said to mix 1 Tbs. Baking Soda, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 c. hot water - and snort the mixture. If you do this, I can guarantee two things: A. You will HATE me for 3 or 4 minutes; and 2. Your sinuses WILL get cleaned out. The third thing is, that if you were experiencing major nasal congestion, about five minutes after you snorted this stuff, you would start to love me again.
Simple, inexpensive saline nasal spray is gentle and is often very helpful when used consistently. While not nearly as explosively effective as the above method, it may be a good choice.
Thanks for the advice guys. I have no nasal congestion, which is the weird thing. Just loads of sinus pain. I will try taking your advice, but when I'm getting close to bedtim. I don't want to be dripping for hours while I'm trying to work.

I have invited Wallybee over for dinner on Wednesday (on the grounds that next weekend seemed a long time to go without seeing her). She seems to like the idea. Who'da thunk it?
