Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People
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.
Is anyone else watching Studio 60? Whee! And to think I almost blew it off.
Are you watching on a delayed basis? I thought it was on Mondays.
TAR: this has to be overall the most likeable field (so far) in the past couple of seasons.
I really found myself wishing, though, that the dysfunctional couple female half would have accidentally put a flaming arrow through her companion, which would have so served him right.
Theodosia! That would have been comedy gold!
Lee, it is on Mondays. I caught a rerun. Maybe there was discussion and I missed it. Or not.
Lee, it seems like it's going to be replayed on Bravo on Sundays.
Question for the hivemind: What can I do to relieve the pressure in my sinuses if I have no decongestant and sleeping in a hot shower could result in the larger problem of drowning myself? (Though that would relieve the pressure.)

A number of possibilities.
1) If you have a little money and transportation, buy a humidfier - ideally one of with a washable resuable filter.
2) Failing that or in addition to that - boil a pot of water. Put in on a table on a trivet. Get a towel. Sit at the table, with the towel over your head to tent you and the steam and inhale the steam for as long as you can stand it. This should relieve a lot of the pressure so you don't need to spend the night in a hot shower.
3) Go to the store and buy some saline solution you can put up your nose. When it is used up you can either buy more or make your own refills. Or if you have an eyedropper you can turn into a nosedropper you can use boiling water and salt to make your own saline solution. In this even you will have to cool the solution down after making it before putting it in your nose.
4) Prop your self up with pillows and sleep with your head as elevated as you can stand.
Thanks Gar. Numbers 2 and 4 will have to do for tonight. It's too late here in the east to do anything else.
I can't believe I didn't think of #2 myself. Truly a "Duh!" moment.
One last thought. If your living room couch is close enough to your kitchen for you to do you some good, and you have a slow cooker, fill the slow cooker with water, set it on medium and fill your living room with warm humid goodness. Spend night on couch. breathing in the warm humid air so generated. Dunno if you could move a slow cooker to you bedroom. Dressers are not really built for holding cooking instruments (as opposed to kitchen counters) and I'd worry about fires.
