I'm tired of snot.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

My nose is sore.

What are you tired of?

[SPKrazy]

1. This Week!

ready for it to end.

It's had it's ups and downs

It's had it's clarifying moments

It's had it's undeniable tension

It's had it's undeniable sadness

When it's over, there will be more of the above, but in my own environs it is less overwhelming to me.

sorry about your snot!

this too shall pass as will my problems. It's the waiting and uncertainty that make it hard.

:loveya: :hug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. It's almost done, my friend!

I hope you enjoy your weekend! :loveya::hug:

[LeftyMom]

2. My job.

This week was pure, grinding hell. Next week promises to be worse. :(

[SeattleGirl]

5. If there is a Goddess or Patron Saint of Retail Workers,

may he/she watch over you this coming week, LM. :hug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. What's worse, Xmas Eve or the 26th?

3. Snot pretty much sucks. I hope you have a salve on your nose...

They can become quite irritating.

[AlienAvatar]

4. snot has pretty

much become the center of your life, huh?

:9

on edit: sorry, this was a response to the OP

[BikeWriter]

8. Not a problem. I was commiserating, too.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. LOL

If I could go ten minutes without a sneeze or a sinus avalanche I'd be happy. :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. I'm using lip balm

It works pretty well... :hi:

[Broken_Hero]

6. I can't say what I'm really tired of, so I will go

with the second thing, I'm most tired of...

Empty Beer cans....yes, I enjoy them when they are full, and cold :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. May your holiday cans

all be filled! :toast:

[gr8dane_daddy]

7. I found this to be an effective tool...

have you've tried this yet?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. It's too gooey for fingers

But that was probably too much info... :D

[Moochy]

9. Cat butt

Ack my cat just cut and run! x(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. I've banned one of my cats from sleeping on my chest at night

because I'd awaken in the middle of the night with cat butt in my face.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Me too. Going on week 3 of my cold.

Gad, I should buy stock in the Kleenix company, I've gone through so many boxes! x(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. I hope it's better soon!

:hug::loveya::hug:

[leftofthedial]

11. being hoarse

coughing

also snot-related, although my nose isn't running too much

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. I read in this morning's WP that there are 5 different upper respiratory virii making the rounds

...not to mention the flu. :(

I hope you're feeling better soon...and that you stay healthy the rest of the season! :hug:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

12. one thing I have found helps is..

Soothing and cleaning to the Nose:

Heat up some clean water, 1/2 cup, in a cup in a microwave. Not too hot.

Throw in a dab (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)of iodized or sea salt.

Mix up.

Suck into a plastic syringe that is clean. Could be a 2 or 3 cc type or smaller. DO NOT use a needle on this thing.

Stand up, lean head back, insert syringe into one nostril.
Close other nostril with other hand. Open mouth to breathe, and swallow the stuff.

Repeat on other side.

Stop when you've had enough, and blow nose.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. Thanks for the tip!

I'll try that. I can remember gargling with warm salt water for a sore throat when I was a kid. I can't remember whether it helped or not; but it beats more drugs...

[leftofthedial]

28. if you tilt your head forward over a sink,

the liquid and the guck will drain out the other nostrils so you don't have to swallow it.

here's a formula for the isotonic solution to use

mix 1/4-teaspoon salt in an 8-ounce glass of warm water and add a pinch of baking soda

[grasswire]

13. take this little hint

Chapstick. It works like a charm on a sore, runny nose. Easy to carry, too.

[SeattleGirl]

14. Whoa, I'd never thought of using Chapstick on my nose!

I bet it would work. Thanks!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. I'm using a lip balm...

You're right, it really does help! :hug:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

21. I WAS tired of snot ...

And coughing up god-knows-what, and fever, and sneezing so loud even the cats got out of the room.

The only good words I have are "it ends". Much better this week.

Very hot showers help. Just standing in the steam seems to cut through a bunch of bodily nasties.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Mmm...Hot shower sounds good right now.

I'm glad you're better! :D
