What the f*ck is up with this? The left nostril (always the left one only, for some reason), for the second night in a row, has turned into a goddam blood faucet. Every winter when it gets all dry in my apartment I get these nose bleeds, but it is really getting bad now.
It started bleeding a half hour ago. I have stuffed Kleenex up my nose, and then after about ten minutes, when it feels like it's stopped, I take the Kleenex out, and it just starts up again. Goddammit! This sucks.
I used to get nosebleeds like this when I was a kid, but it was fixed by cauterization. Why would it start happening again? Life is so unfair.
Cocaine will do that to you.
Ha! I'm drug free baby! Unless you count heroin. You don't count heroin, do you?
I have a humidifier. It just ain't doing the job.
It's either a 'stigmata' or you got your head buried too far up your boss's patootie
Get a bigger humidifier, Kicky.
kicky, i get that when my immunity is way down lo. vitamin C is my answer - take 1000 mg each day. or if you resist the drugs, drink fresh squeezed lemonade, eat grapefruits, oranges, clementines, you get the idea.
The last time I had a bloody nose I just stuffed a bunch of straw up there. In no time at all the bleeding had stopped and a small wren was building a nest.
Swimpy, is that your answer for everything!?
I was talking to swimpy a few months back about not being able to satisfy Gertrude.
She told me, "Get a bigger humidifier, Gus"
Those are great tips, ehbeth. I think I'll get a bigger humidifier.
Yessir. It's all about the dry air. The colder it gets the drier it gets. Boil water on the stove if you have to, but get more moisture into the air. I'll bet it's dry where you work too. Am I right?
I don't really know if it's dry at work. I never noticed. But I bet you're right.
I'm getting a bigger humidifier. I can't believe I'm taking health advice from a little kid in a bunny costume.
and vitamins, kicky! listen to the slovak. we gots the folk remedies in our sleeves!
Don't let the bunny suit fool you.
Vitamins. Check. I already take multi-vitamins. Isn't that enough?
