Dawn ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Okay, I have the cantaloupes, but there's no one around with a camera...
Also, the holding my breath seems to have worked. For the moment. They have a habit of going away and coming back. I'll be sure and keep you all updated on any exciting developments in my epic struggle.
I wonder if the cantelopes would work on my ear infection pain?
We have sun out early , so I am guessing you get orb , Lee. but I have no real idea.
my cure for hiccups. fill a glass of water drink from the oppicte side of glass - you don't hav to drink a lot - by the time it goes up your nose - they stop
The sugar thing is the only one that works for me. Then again, I never normally do sugar, so it may be the shock to the system. I think Tommy's suggestions might work though.
The only thing that works for me for endurance style hiccups is eating a spoonful of sugar.Me, too. Do you take sugar and water (I do), Lee, or just sugar?
Jars, since they're hic-burps, have you tried an antacid?
YAY for no more hiccups.
I am guessing you get orb
We probably will, Beth, but I bet I have to go to work first. I kind of like the fog, since it's the first one we've had for a while.

Sugar alone, then if it works, lots of water to get rid of the sweetness.
I've found a good hiccup cure is to apply pressure to the base of the neck, in that gap just above the last vertebra in the torso.
Supposedly it puts pressure on some nerve or other that's involved in the hiccuping process.
Accupressure almost always works: Hold your first three fingers of your right hand flat (and tightly) against the inside of your left wrist (where the veins are showing) for about thirty seconds.
Oh, I'm marking that post, megan.

If you haven't already, take an antihistamine and some Tylenol (or Motrin, or whatever for the pain). If you don't have an infection, the pain may be just from fluid, and the antihistamine can dry it up.

The accupressure thing works best for me for hiccups. I press a thumb's width below the wrist crease, but it sounds like the same basic pressure point.
Sugar alone, then if it works, lots of water to get rid of the sweetness.I fill the spoon with sugar, then drizzle water on it. Also gross, but less so. Usually, though, drinking something too soon after un-does the cure, so I have to deal with the cloying taste, for a while.
