I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ow. My sinuses hurt. A lot. I took Tylenol and Advil, plus Benadryl and Sudafed, and did a saline rinse, and I'm still close to crying from the pain.

Our wings are not tired.

Quick relief ~ma for those in pain.

Poor noodle indeed, Burrell. I do believe it is easier to have a migraine yourself than to watch your child in pain.

In Savannah for Commencement. One of the fine young men that DH coached basketball. Great guy. I'm sure he will do well in this life.

Hotel has great river view and balcony. The size of the freight carriers is most impressive.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hil, I know this won't help now, but what about Afrin?

I'm already using Nasacort plus a saline spray, and the last time I used the saline spray, I got a nosebleed. I think I can't really add anything more to that.

I got a memento from Jeeves after only 4 visits! Which was great, because I was frustrated on how hard it was to get them in the yard.

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

I was wondering what brought you to Savannah, Laura. Have a lovely time!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hil, my sinuses are THE WORST today. It's entirely sinus and not a migraine (small favor), but unbelievable pain. I think I've taken all the drugs I can take for now, so I'm just sort of smiting my forehead and grumbling.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hil and Teppy, I microwave a damp wash cloth for a few seconds until it's steamy and put that over the sinus area. That can help. If you don't have a microwave, a bowl of as hot as you can stand water to dip it in works as well

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Afrin and Nasacort aren't the same, Afrin's a decongestant and Nasacort's a cortisone allergy reliever. Afrin saves me from sinus and ear pain when nothing else, even systemic decongestants, don't work. And if you're sick of getting advice, please ignore it, sorry!

Handsome Nasacort, saved me from the pollen

This. Afrin also works pretty quickly.
