Up for the day at 3AM again today. Just realized that I joined MB eight years ago yesterday, and my first member journal post was Feb 12, 2015.

I'm glad the community is still around after all those years.

Happy belated birthday!

30) Your username conjures a confusing amalgamation of various animals wrestling one another.
31) I get strong vibes that you value the right things in life, such as trust and loyalty and kindness, and that this would likely make you a good friend to others.
32) You have always been way more talented; as a musician, a singer, a writer, than you have given yourself credit for.
33) You're reasonable enough to probably agree that 33 things is a bit much...:p:

The first sentence made me fall down two flights of stairs laughing but if I might I suggest running a small amount of water from a faucet, going in with your head sideways, and carefully inhaling the stream through one nostril. I've tried what you're doing with this method and it works without being a shotgun blast to your sinuses.

Yeah I'm still in recovery.

Also try the netting pot like I told your mom to tell you, they work wonders.

Yeah that's what I'm describing but proletarian. I heard about a netting pot and just used a faucet and it worked real good.

You can also use a turkey baster or hook a garden hose to your favourite gas-siphoning tube.

Or you can use a faucet.

Seriously, you know what worked for me, Mindy? I would boil a cup of water, throw a little Ben Gay into it for menthol, and breathe in the steam. It not only relieved my congestion, it knocked out the cold I was suffering from at the time. (Watch Frownie and Batlord go bonkers with the Ben Gay part :D)

There are nasal sprays to free one's nose. They work great. Are those not common in the US or are they too expensive or something?

The only one that ever worked for me was Sinex (a Vicks product). I can't take that anymore because of my high blood pressure so I'm stuck with old wives cures that I come up with. I have no idea what would work on Mindy.
