I was really hesitant too Jessica. The thing that makes it okay for me is that the water doesn't actually go UP the nose, but sort of sideways, through the nose. As a former swimmer, the idea of snorting water just wasnt' appealing. But this is nice. Warm and soothing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Clearly not designed for this climate. I cannot speak for certain if they worked better in the places where my ancestors lived. Somehow, I doubt it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Andi gets disturbed when i sing "neti pot" to the tune of "lollipop."
Andi had to take the overnight slot at work due to a cow orker needing emergency spleen surgery (Yikes!).
I am sitting here missing her, as are the cats Sammi and Harvey.

My nephew D turned 13 today! I can hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was getting the call that he had come into thisv world. I had no idea then how much he would affect my life. I wish I could be there today to give him a hug.

all this talk of Neti pots. Dude. My sinuses are KILLING me. My right cheek is throbbing from pressure. And I've gone thru a few boxes of tissues this week. Ugg. But I agree with Jessica:
but....ew! Water up nose!I'll see how I feel after work tomorrow. If I'm still feeling bad, I'll swing by CVS on the way home. ick.
