Just had a gusher of a nosebleed. Could not do the tilt up and pressure cause I was choking on all the blood, so did a tilt down over a lined wastebasket and pressure. Ok now, though the white T-shirt I was wearing looks like I just committed an axe murder - about 90% red with just a enough white spots to show the color it used to be. Took me about five minutes to scrub my face and hands in the bathroom, then had to clean off the doorknob and light switch I touched. My T-shirt and washcloth are doing their own little wash cycle right now. Know it is minor, but what a pain in the ass.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Eep. Sounds like you're at home at least, and not at work covered in blood?

True that (better Typo Boy is at home, I mean). Back in junior high and high school I was guaranteed one gusher of a nose bleed per year (usually when they started using the heat in the winter).
I even got one at the end of the graduation ceremony (literally the end - I had one hand clamped over my nose as I tossed my mortar board in the air with the other). It kinda summed up my high school experience nicely.

Yeah, I mostly work from home.

Wow, TypoBoy, WTF? If you need a transfusion, I'm an A-neg.
Brenda, lots of doggy~ma for Lucy. May she come home to you well and happy.

I've used ShurLine edgers and love them. They made failure to mask ceiling and baseboards not matter so much!
I really want a pygmy goat, but my municipal code forbid goats on anything less than an acre. I don't think I am up for petitioning for a variance.
Much~ma for Lucy.
Hope nosebleed does not recur.

CJ used to get gushers like that. We both have gotten so used to them that he just grabs something to blot with and doesn't freak out.
I thought with moving to dry Colorado they would actually get worse, but he got through the summer with a minimum. For whatever reason, they only happened when he went swimming. Yuck.

Like Gud I used to get these routinely. But it has been over 20 years since I last got a gusher, and five since I got a minor nose bleed. So I'm a little WTF about an old problem coming back.

Probably sunspots.
