I woke up today with a little bit of a head cold. I don't get sick very often as I'm a bastion of health and my body is a temple, so it was kind of a shocker. Also, typically a blazing hot shower and maybe some tea and I'm good.

This one was annoying though. I sat in the steam and it didn't seem to clear me up at all. Afterwards I went to my couch to sulk about it and remembered something. I have a neti pot!

For those who don't irrigate a neti pot is basically a small pot with a long stem. You fill it with body temp water, some salt solution and pour it into your nose to fill your sinuses. Then you blow out the water along with all the crud that's stuck up I'm there. Do the other side next. Repeat as needed.

So do any other goons irrigate?

Here's some depictions on how an everyday normal person would use a neti pot:

fun fact there is a use for a drug called "pseudoephedrine" or "pseudo" as it's known in the Streets that isn't the illicit manufacture of methamphetamines, and it's much more useful than a neti pot

I'm not street smart. I'd probably get robbed buying this stuff.

It's fun too see what's all up in there. Like today, the source of my problems was a couple of goldfish crackers. Parmesan.

Urban legend. Next thing you'll tell me is that ear wax candles don't work or the body doesn't have humors.

Afrin addicts are the saddest thing.

I had a friend bring twenty bottles of Afrin to Iraq and would get more sent out to him. Lol.

What was the auction for?

I don't really want to talk about it anymore. I just want to rest and collect my thoughts. I may not have long due to these parasites and what's a piece of art anyways? We're all just motes of skin flakes on Gods filthy coffee table. Know what I mean? Sigh.

What if art would cure them?

I don't think it will. Naem just painted me a weasel and though stunning and original, it didn't help.

I think I'm going to use the neti pot again to see if I can flush these hitchhikers out. I just sneezed up a wad of gunk. Wish me luck. Neti pots are cool!

Trip report: just used my neti pot again and got a lot of yellow green snot out. Head feels clearer. I'm calmer. More focused. Think the meebs got flushed out too. 5 stars.

Do you think there's a YouTube demand signal for neti pot vids? Spraying boogers? There's gotta be. :barf:

Maybe they ate the part that limits your brain to only using 10% of its power. Try levitating your neti pot or casting ice magic to find out!

Had a good neti this morning. Not dead from meebs yet. Hopefully it's the last day of this head cold. Wonder what else I can irrigate?
