Ewwwww, sorry, but I'll pass...

Might I also suggest a simple Saline Nasal Spray. The high salt content will kill anything in your nose. It also works as a moisturizer when your house dries out in the winter. Works great for me.

Since I read up on America's chronic vitamin D deficiency, which is now being linked to increased cancers and a host of illness (thanks melanoma scare!) and apply common sense, I added a quality vitamin D supplement to my daily diet. Result is even when exposed, I don't even get a sniffle this year--first time ever.

When you think about it, the fact we don't get enough sun in the winter and the fact that colds & flus are predominant in the winter-and not in sunnier climes, it just makes too much sense to not be true.

2-10-2009 1:43 PM

I take the extra D too. I think everyone in Michigan should. Say talking about sunshine, we have it up here in the north. It's a nice warm 56 degrees. I have my windows open and I'm loving it.

2-10-2009 2:33 PM

Cloudy but over 50! It is a Festivus Miracle!

Or, normal mid-winter tease before plunging us back into the artic!

What part of "up north"?

2-10-2009 3:14 PM

You don't really need sun to enjoy the warm temperatures after being in the deep freeze for a couple of months. I live in the Alpena area. I've only been up here a couple of years. I came up from the Brighton area. It's a drastic but pleasant change.

2-10-2009 3:17 PM

Absolutely! Most people in Michigan don't realize that we get more gray days than Seattle Washington. Yuck.

But I will take 50 and cloudy over 10 and sunny, anyday.

Alpena is gorgeous, haven't been in forever, my sister in law lives in Howell, I'm down in the Livonia. But originally from Hudson (south of Jackson on US 127, last Michigan city before Ohio).

Gorgeous state, too bad our out of whack taxes are destroying it!

2-10-2009 3:46 PM

Howell's only about 10 miles from Brighton so I've spent a lot of time over there. The whole area out there has grown like mad. My oldest brother lived in Livonia for about 20 years before moving to Dearborn where he worked, just to take a buy out from Ford's a few years later. He lives up here too now. Well, I have to run. I've been on this computer all afternoon and I was only planning on being here a half hour or so.

Talk with you later.

2-10-2009 7:16 PM

Blowing your nose is under rated.

2-10-2009 7:35 PM

Hey, Debbyski

Here's a "power" kleenex, careful how you use it because it won't last forever. Just kidding, you can have as many as you want.

2-10-2009 7:47 PM

I find it strange that you blocked me from commenting on your clips Chestnut501 and now you try to engage me in conversation yet again, even though I have asked you not to. BTW, I wondered who is POPPING your clips with comments written by you and two other clippers wanting a threesome in the hot tub with yourself and two men, and I quite by accident POPPED that particular clip. So don't give yourself any credit and I think you have proven yourself to be quite the hypocrite yet again by proclaiming bisexuals to be confused all the while labeling yourself a lesbian (which I don't believe)
Why don't you take that kleenex and stick it where the sun don't shine. WV style.

And don't catch your foreskin in the zipper

Girls, girls, girls! Can't live with 'em. Can't shoot 'em.

2-10-2009 7:56 PM

Ure speaking to one girl here honey. I ain't sure about the other.

2-10-2009 8:13 PM

Richclips777, Really nice to see you. Whew!

gemfemfox, There's a good chance that debbyski will beg, cry or strongarm you into deleting her comment. Do me a favor and take a neutral stance and leave it up. She has a ton of stuff to use on me and has already used it to humiliate the daylights out of me. Fortunatly, I don't humiliate easily.

2-10-2009 8:23 PM

Debbyski, I'm looking forward to your getting over your anger. You're better than that. In the meantime, if you come on a clip that I am already on, there's a good chance you may be talked to. You have the option to hide my comments from your view. We have no "prima donna's" on clipmarks.

2-10-2009 8:24 PM

gemfemfox, There's a good chance that debbyski will beg, cry or strongarm you into deleting her comment.

Nice try Chestnut501. But it's not true and you know it's not. The truth is I'm tired of you following me around and constantly trying to engage me in conversation even though I ask you not to. What can't you understand about that simple request? What can't you understand about me not returning your affections?

You are quite the manipulator and I'm calling you out on it.

She has a ton of stuff to use on me and has already used it to humiliate the daylights out of me

No, you humilate yourself. STOP DOING IT. I'll be happy to never engage you in...

2-10-2009 8:44 PM

Get a calendar Debbyski, The past is in the past, Up until the other day, you hadn't said a word to me since Christmas, Now suddenly you are very aggressively bringing up things that are well over a month or two old after not talking to me all that time. If something set you off, I have no idea what it is.

There have been no affections going in your direction. I can't imagine that would be what this all about but I'm beginning to wonder. You sure have been in my face a lot, which I wouldn't mind if you were civil.
And by the way, you don't intimidate me, so give it up.

2-10-2009 8:45 PM

if you come on a clip that I am already on, there's a good chance you may be talked to.

Get it through your thick skull that I DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK TO YOU.

Most people would respect that simple request and for your information lady, (and I use that term loosely) I was not talking to you on this clip, and it's a simple matter of respect to honor that.

2-10-2009 8:46 PM

There have been no affections going in your direction.

And you are a God damned liar.

2-10-2009 8:54 PM

Then don't speak to me.

Show me these affections going in your direction. It's your imagination or wishful thinking. How can you possibly believe that me or any sane person would want to have that kind of relationship with you after the way you treat people. Guess what, you are not the only person in the world that ever gets hurt. You dished it out pretty good to me Christmas Day, No you dished it out real good.

2-10-2009 8:58 PM

I have already made you comments public Chestnut. Do you wish for me to make some more public right now? I have them all saved. Would you like for me to humilate you some more? Am I feeding your addiction by talking to you?

wishful thinking

Oh you so do wish don't you Chestnut? You make me sick.

2-10-2009 9:05 PM

Not to gross you out or anything but, once by accident I snorted hot coffee through my nose and it cleared my sinuses right up.

2-10-2009 9:06 PM

Blackmail Debbyski??? You fight dirty and you're not doing yourself any good.

2-10-2009 9:14 PM

iamonetoo

Chestnut501, you know you have said inappropriate comments/remarks to debbyski, so stop lying about it.
I have seen your sexual innuendos which were neither
sought, wanted, or encouraged by her. You are the one
who has removed comments that you do not want to be
read because they incriminate you.
Stop harassing my friend and leave her alone.
Clipmarks is not about you. You are simply wrong to use this as a forum for stalking.

2-10-2009 9:34 PM

The GPT's are back it seems, we are to smart for that, they try chumming, lying, if that does not work they block people who see them for what their agenda is, it is amazing what certain cretins will resort to for recognition to further its cause; watch your back debbyski, it may slither upon your doorstep, a good shot of the truth makes them disappear. I enjoyed your take on your clip gemfemfox.

2-10-2009 9:36 PM

Blackmail Debbyski???

NO TRUTHMAIL Chestnut.

2-10-2009 9:49 PM

iamonetoo

cabanaben. Good response.
Good clip, gemfemfox. What I dislike is when people
refuse to blow their noses and sit there repeatedly
sniffing/snorting the snot back in. My theory is get it out and get it over with.

2-10-2009 9:53 PM

Just suck it up chestnut, she's got you beat. I've seen your comments to her and with me you've used my clips to harass her too.

2-10-2009 10:03 PM

Hey Look, It's Debbyski's GANG. Too bad you can't fight your own battles Debbyski, LIKE I DO. I'll let you or you all, whatever the case may be, do whatever it is you do when you aren't doing somebody.

2-10-2009 10:04 PM

2-10-2009 10:17 PM

This is an excellent clip. Very timely since we're in the middle of the cold and flu season. I'm definitely going to give vitamin D a try. My Dr. for some reason won't give me the flu shot and it seems every year for the past few years I get it a little worse each time.

2-10-2009 10:53 PM

Tanya, he did you a favor.

The only times I have had full blown flu in the past 8 years or so, were the years I let the quacks "protect" me. When I was pregnant and the year after when nursing. Miserable, and couldn't take anything other than some tylenol.

Great medical studies have come out showing that even though the percentage of the population getting flu shots is through the roof, the percentage dying from pnemonia (which is the lie they sold us on to get us to take the shots) is the EXACT same.

Once I educated myself, I opted out for my daughter and I, and not even a cold this year. Even after exposed and with sick hubby germing all over us. He now takes the D too.

Just do ...

2-10-2009 10:56 PM

Good clip, gemfemfox. What I dislike is when people

Thanks.

And yes, that drives me nuts too. When I had allergies (gone now after 20 years! woohoo!), my nose didn't usually run, it just drained down my throat. The minute my sudafed or benadryl (became allergic to prescription allergy medicine-how's that for irony) started to wear off, I would start sniffing. I sounded like the accountant in the Seinfeld episode that was allergic to the wool sweater!

2-10-2009 10:58 PM

Not to gross you out or anything but, once by accident I snorted hot coffee through my nose and it cleared my sinuses right up.

Not gross, funny! (sorry)

What really sucks is snorting soda up your nose. Burns like the dickens and your boogers feel sticky for a week!

Now that is gross!

I'll let you or you all, whatever the case may be, do whatever it is you do when you aren't doing somebody.

And that dear Chestnut is your problem. Find someone to do, and quit worrying about who I am doing (which will never be you)

2-10-2009 11:28 PM

Yeah Chestnut you got a little gang of your own on clipmarks. OMG, who types in an accent? Can you say borderline personality disorder?

At least we are all different people in real life. Now, goodbye, I'm not feeding your particular addiction anymore tonight, you GPT.

2-10-2009 11:43 PM

At least I wanna do people I've actually met in real life, and that are living and breathing.

Me thinky you are one jealous pot calling the kettle black.

2-11-2009 12:01 AM

Blowing your nose is under rated.

Lol, Isn't that true of quite a few bodily functions? Especially the ones that "ladies" aren't supposed to do or admit to.

2-11-2009 9:55 AM

I can remember my kid's relief when they finally learned to blow their noses as opposed to letting it run down their face Gemfem. They seemed miserable with the latter.

2-11-2009 10:53 AM

cabanaben

I use to work with some Britt's, they use to have a small tin of powdered snuff, put small amount on back of hand, then snort the snuff; they would sneeze, cough, gag, and then blow their nose quite a few times; never seem to have a head cold though.

2-11-2009 11:59 AM

They may be on to something, wonder if it has the same effect (affect?) as rinsing the sinuses, just with body's natural reaction instead of saline solution?

Yeah, Debby, most little ones find lots of relief when they no longer get the raw, red skin under the nose. Most mom's are relieved when we are no longer worried about scrubbing snot off arms of clothes!
