Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Is the bending like bending forward? Because I'm picturing it in my head with me bending over forward.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I do have Benadryl, but does it make sense to take that if I don't have any mucus, or at least I don't have any mucus in my nose?

Yes, because Benadryl also reduces histamine-induced inflammation, and the sinus cavities are so relatively small that just a little swelling can block them.

I do have a bowl, and another friend metioned the same thing as you, Steph. I should try that.

It is gross, since you have to snort the water through your nostril, down your throat, and spit it out your mouth. But as a hack, it's effective.

Yeah -- bend forward at the waist. I guess the idea is that gravity will help get any residual salt water out.

Thanks Steph. I knew I could count on you to have a good answer.

Well thanks to Steph and bonny I am now dosed up and rinsed out. Well, somewhat rinsed. There seems to be a bit of a learning curve involved.

Yay. Now bed soon.

not your mom's socks.

Here's hoping Sass made it home or was taken in by a good Samaritan.

Sass is not home. DH left at about 5:30 a.m. to go look some more. I'll start again when the nanny is available a little later this a.m. to watch K and listen for the phone to ring since for some reason !@#$ Verizon can't get our call forwarding to work.

Much, much, much, much, much ~mas to Buffistas and their pets. And Fred Pete, my thoughts are with Chloe and you.

Also and as importantly, my thoughts and brackets and ~mas are with Buffistas's families who need the ~mas.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, Sparky. I hope she's found safe and sound posthaste.

I first learned to semi-neti in Peace Corps and used a coffee mug. I found the trick for a less painful experience is to make sure to inhale all salt water with no air mixed in. Hope you feel better today.
