The nasal irrigation rocks. All my sinus anatomy was removed and has been a dream come true. But still irrigate with junk build up or signs of infection coming on. Feels so good as long as I am not to heavy handed with the saline.

Missed you, lady. Thanks for checking up on me. xoxo

So happy to see you.
What do you guys think of those overpriced nasal packets with salt and bicarb? I actually remember really liking those a lot. They seemed to change the pH of the whole messy situation going on in there.
Apologies that I do not really know what is going on here on the Weekender thread yet, on read page 5 and have to go make some coffee after awakening from my epic snooze.

Heat Wave
For some reason, the Christmas Season in Japan popped into my Head this morning. Quite interesting. They take blivets of the Holiday and Santa as we know it, and mish-mash it up with their Traditions AND a healthy dose of Consumerism. The Santas with Waistlines ~50% the size of mine always cracked us up. WTH... Throw a trained Albino Fish [OK, Mammal] into the mix while you're at it, eh? An amusing place...
3.7 F Degrees before Sunrise here earlier. But, who's counting? At least we've got Sun on tap, and Heat Wave-like temps expected to top out today at 40 F. With a Flannel Shirt on, that's actually quite toasty, thanks to Solar. THEN, another lil Arctic Blast hits tomorrow afternoon. Current conditions:
Boulder Flatirons Webcam
Congrats to Gilmer, and Runners, and Noobs muscling through those early days. I'm at 10 months today, having done my own lil 'Throw Down' after deciding to quit out of the blue on a Friday last January. As a Female Boss used to tell me on assorted frustrations: 'Stick a Fork in my Azz. I'm done.' The Big [non] Plan is working peachy for me. Da Wife is off to Lunch and have a Drink with her Polack Pal of >50 years. In her absence, I'm driving a Neighbor Gal down to get her repaired SUV.
Her Mom in South Dakota has undergone Surgery and Treatment for Cancer of the Vulva. So, this Divorced Neighbor has been on Emotional/Schedule overload. While driving back to here, some piece of Scrap Rubber flew out of a Truck on the Interstate, and bashed in the Hood of her near-new SUV. At least she got the Truck License Plate info.
Interesting Gal. She talks in Tongues sometimes, and sometimes lapses into this interesting hybrid of French-Canadian -> Native American -> English Languages. Mom's Single Wide didn't even have Indoor Plumbing until a few years ago. Too cold for it in South Dakota. No desire/no need.
Count me in as a long-time Practitioner of Nasal Irrigation. I roll my own; delivered via fine Surgical Tubing.
So, here's a Music Link from Japan. Bryan Adams pared down the Band to a Power Trio, and rocked Tokyo. We saw him prior in Boulder just minutes after his Bass Player quit outside on the Band Bus. They went on Stage as a Trio with Bryan switching over to Bass from Rhythm Guitar. I guess trimming from a 4 Piece to a 3 Piece worked out because he kept this Config for some time.

THAT Budokan...
Hee hee....
Yep. Exactly why I didn't post a 'Cheap Trick' Tune.
They played that exact Budokan Set List recently from 'The Wiltern Theatre' in L.A. on a Live Broadcast. They did well for fellow Geezers.

I actually have that neilmed sinus irrigator. Mr. Ruby bought it. I forgot about it. I think I will hunt that down. Disgusting topic but obviously many of us are suffering in more ways than one. Though I have to say I'm not suffering in sobriety at the moment. Which is nice.
At work and listening to whats going on aroound me with half an ear. Not a bad day.

Wait a hold-up minute!!
Cancer of the vulva?
Oh no. I didn't even know there was such a thing. And now I've added it to my list of things to fear.
LTV, the NeilMed sells those packets of salt/bicarb. I just make mine myself with Kosher salt or seasalt and Arm & Hammer. Cheap. The packets that came with the bottle I save to take on vacations.

I will walk down memory lane when I get to the office and play Journey then. I saw them in concert twice when I was in high school. I wanted a pair of Steve Perrys red swoosh Nikes. Never did get any.

2 hours to go until I can stop writing code and editing content, and helping users with tech support....hoping they go by quick! Been soooo busy with this growing company the past month.
One thing that stinks about living in a somewhat "tourist-town" is that I see lots of tourists enjoying their vacation time, while I am working! I also have a few retirees in my complex - I am watching the couple across the lawn completely assemble their terrace with plants, chairs, water, even hooking up hoses: stuff that's taken me months to achieve. I also notice that all of the other pre-furnished homes in my complex have nicer furniture than mine. Why did I get stuck with the wicker chairs when everyone else got plush?
But there's a lesson here: that's the alcoholic in me! Looking at other people's situations and being envious. Worrying (literally) about someone else's back yard. Thinking about how life's not fair is part of what led me down this tunnel in the first place. I'm sure you guys have seen some of my pics - I've got a great view of my own and that's what I should concentrate on!
Okay, back to work. Going to have a late lunch at my desk and enjoy a relaxing movie tonight after coffee and dinner. Chat later!
