    oh, you have ALL my sympathies. i'm a sinus sufferer as well. and here's the deeply personal, overly-informative proof:

    sometimes, i have to blow my nose during sex.


    i'm laughing so hard right now, i think i made my own self blush.

    I have the best item for you to try. It's called a neti pot. Do you already have one? You can buy it at Walgreens around here and I'm sure they have them where you live.

    A neti pot is a sinus flusher. It costs ten bucks and is worth every penny. I think I am going to go use mine right now just because I love it.

    Oregano oil is nasty stuff, but it'll kick that sinus pressure where the sun don't shine. I can't promise anything about the blogging, though. *B

    For some reason I thought I had to tell you twice not to move. Probably because your ears are clogged with mucus. Relax, the ambulance is on the way.
    Go blow your ears while you're waiting.

    Feel better soon! I can't wait to hear a good roasting of Dan. If it has anything to do with more stories of tying him up in the basement and telling him his screams sound like a foghorn, then I'm sure it will be hilarious!

    all blogging will cease and desist until you are well.

    Umm, leaving comments doesn't count, does it?

  23. KristyApril 9, 2008 at 5:25:00 PM CDT

    Even sick, you're funny! Not to mention your comments. Here is the ultimate homeopathic remedy that I deduced from your interpeeps:

    1)Do something w/ oregano oil(?)
    2)Flush your sinuses w/ the neti pot
    3)Have sex (perhaps this is where the oregano oil is used???)
    4)Blow your nose-during & after u-know-what.

    All better?? If not, you may have to follow above procedures daily for a week! LOL We'll miss you...feel better soon.

    Oh Christie, I wouldn't wish a sinus infection on my worst emeny. Well maybe... I agree with the Neti Pot. It sounds wierd, but mix some warm water and an equal part of Alkalol , or make a saline solution and rinse those suckers out. Here's to feeling better.

    WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! She's a scammer! She sent me an email today, and she CAPITALIZED, AND PUNCTUATED the whole thing. This blog of hers is just as "real" as watching "reality" shows on MTV. It's all scripted. PLEASE, spend your time elsewhere reading the writings of someone who is going to tell you the truth. She might be sick, but she's not too sick that she can't capitalize. You're reading a lame episode of "I Love Lucy".

    I think you gave it to me because I officially can't breathe out of my right nostril. Thanks a lot.

    I do hope you get feeling better though. Being sick bites the big one.

    I recently had my first sinus infection and thought my head would fall off. My teeth hurt so bad I couldn't chew anything. And my cheeks hurt too - I kept heat on them all day long. Luckily the antibiotics had me feeling almost better by the time my baby was born. Be thankful you're not 9 months pregnant! Hope you feel better soon - I enjoy reading your blog. Looks like your kids are old enough to help out a little - good luck!

    If you want, I would be happy to give you material to use in the mocking, because it is obvious that you are having a hard time coming up with something.

    I can't help but notice that Dan seems to be missing you a lot or he's really anxious about what you might post next...hmmm. (Seriously, thru all that sarcasm, I think you're his favorite. Favorite what I will leave up to you guys to figure out. ;)
