[Supe]

How do I stop the itching?

 

[maryannette]

Stop it with a scratching utensil.

If you lift the toilet seat, replace it when finished.

 

[maryannette]

Speaking of toilet seats, I have a strange opinion about the etiquette of raising and lowering. I think it is wrong for ladies to expect men to put the seat down. It seems inefficient to me.

 

[Supe]

Don't buy Zicam rapid melts. They taste horrific.

 

[maryannette]

Strange you should say that. I just had one. I've used Zicam for years and it seems to prevent me from getting sick. I agree the taste is horrific, but I hate having a cold.

 

[Supe]

They were recommended to me by a friend, but I'm desperate. I've got about 40% of Walgreens in me right now.

Don't consume 40% of Walgreens. It terrorizes your stomach.

 

[maryannette]

Be careful about mixing medications.

 

[Supe]

I'm sure I've mixed something I shouldn't have by now.

The fever is gone, the aching is mostly gone, the cough I can tolerate, but I can't inhale through my nose at all, and it feels more like inflammation than congestion.

Anybody got advice to stop snoring?

 

[Supe]

Try shooting him a few times.

 

[maryannette]

He starts snoring before he really gets to sleep. And, I would never consider shooting him. We've been married almost 29 years.

 

[Supe]

I'd think that'd be all the more reason.

Have you tried breathe right strips? How about that new mouth piece?

 

[maryannette]

Oh YES! We've tried everything. Mostly, I can fall asleep even when he is snoring now.

 

[Supe]

Might be worth while to have a sleep study done. Has he seen an ENT specialist?

 

[maryannette]

Oh yes. Sleep study: he does not have sleep apnea, but he snores VERY LOUD.

NO $H1T!!!!

 

[Supe]

Wow. Maybe I should have gone to med school.

 

[maryannette]

Is that a request for advice?

 

[Supe]

No, it's my way of saying: screw engineering. Go to med school, and specialize in sleep studies.

Either that, or be a weatherman.
