Drink LOTS of fluids! Not just water but also soups and teas.

Take a hot shower and massage both above your eyes and just below the cheekbones. This, combined with the steam, will help loosen the junk in your sinuses.

Try gargling with warm salt water if you have a sore throat from post-nasal drip.

REST! Get as much sleep as you can.

If you have a fever, consider being seen by a provider for antibiotics. If you don't have a fever, or just a low grade fever, it's more likely viral. Antibiotics won't do anything to kill viruses.

I hope you feel better soon, sweetie!

I've had good luck with saline spray, too.


Just sayin'.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Probably not.

I couldn’t get the vid to work, but needless to say I am a fan of firearms safety overall, a handgun with a manual safety (or revolvers with a heavy trigger pull).

A draw with the finger away from the trigger is de rigeur as well.

I like the bugs. It wouldn't be Larsen otherwise.

You got me, although it's not a big day in my calendar

Dont get caught stealing advent calendars... You will get 25 days!

Larsen was truly a genius!

It's not even midnight here yet and I've caught up! I hope you're all sleeping well if you're supposed to be asleep or having a good start to your day. I'm going to try to get an early night. My plan is to sleep as much as I like tomorrow!

Have a Super Sunday, all! ️

I fell asleep early last night watching Elf (after recording Army/Navy and watching it over dinner.)

Busy day. Delivered firewood, filled up my wood bins. Raked the farm yard with the tractor and got our Christmas tree.

Since the outdoor burn ban has been lifted, we had a nice late afternoon fire before dinner.

Didn’t get to my moms, but I’ll get there today.

Someone bought nearly all of my kindling this week so I am selling it in bulk.

I think I used to buy a cord of slab wood for $20 or there abouts. Times change.

 

[Wonderer67]

I sell seasoned mixed hardwood for $225 a cord. Also add a delivery fee.

It really hasn’t increased much in years.

Good morning all! I do miss our wood burning fireplace. Just fake gas logs in this home. I guess it could be worse right. It doesn’t get that cold very often here but it is nice to enjoy the smell, crackling sounds.

I do like it. We actually have outside fires a lot. We did a quick fire and had snacks and beer late yesterday afternoon. It was cold (maybe 30), but we had a good fire.

Yes I miss our fire pit as well. That looks like a nice fire going there

Smoking sucks...
My mom died at age 58 ( 1977 ) and my dad died at age 63 ( 1978 )
They died one year apart from each other
They were both chain smokers...

I grew up in NC. Everyone smoked. Everyone…except my beloved momma. The smokers are all long gone. Even the ones who quit. My mother, God bless her, is still among us and out in the yard piddling around . We’re cooking for the family today.

There was a 60 mins episode from around 15 yrs ago. It was about the “Blue Areas” (areas where people have unusually long lives) and the one in the US is just outside of LA, believe it or not! I’ll find and post the link on here, but the crux of it was researches found the data on this community and went back some 30yrs after they started taking data. The one thing that stuck out from it? If you smoked, you died. End of story.

Stop smoking ciggys sports fans!

I’ll get off the soap box now. Leaving you with your Second Day of Christmas Z.

Good morning everyone. I hope you’ve been able to relax this weekend.

This new sleep schedule sucks. According to the apps and what my Doc says I should be getting 6 hours 45 minutes of sleep a night. I’m going to bed later so I’m “more tired” and I’ll get more quality sleep. Well this morning the alarm went off and I rolled over and got another 90 minutes of sleep. I’ll keep working on it and hopefully I’ll start to se the desired results soon.

Enjoy your Sunday (if you get Sunday off) and we’ll talk with you tomorrow.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

I just had a flashback of youth. Roadside vendors with Velvet Elvis’, Poker playing dogs, the “scratching beagle” playing pool! . I’ll look for those for our European cousins who probably have no clue of what we speak!

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Found it! 60 mins report on 90+ from 2014

Here’s a follow on…from 2020 on some of the same folks

The good news…moderate caffeine and alcohol are good for us! Not the whole pot OM!

 

[Greylag]

Great day yesterday shooting on a dog training day. My boys left at home and carried a gun instead. It was hard work with six hours walking but relaxed with five guns and five handlers. i shot well for a change and we had 40 pheasant and two woodcock. The weather started as the pics….Wow …..then it was and wet. Great to be out though.

 

[PersonalFavors]

Probably not.

I couldn’t get the vid to work, but needless to say I am a fan of firearms safety overall, a handgun with a manual safety (or revolvers with a heavy trigger pull).

I can’t get those videos to work either. Seems like too much information google already has about me. Different kind of safety.

You can post porn but not guns...Duh...

I sell seasoned mixed hardwood for $225 a cord. Also add a delivery fee.

It really hasn’t increased much in years.

You could get as much as $99 per 2.2 cubic feet (delivered, of course). But, your shipping company will be making a lot more cash that you are. I'm surprised that people will pay that much for a box of firewood but look at all the care that goes into it.

Glock Leg?!?
Look... Don't look
Do I really want to look???

It's actually pretty benign, all things considered. I think it's because he swears after he dings himself in the leg. He was kind of being an idiot and happened to be recording himself on camera...

I think you need to be signed into youtube. Google account or whatever, to verify age...

Well, there's guns... and then there's guns

Afternoon, all... I had a nice sleep in followed by a Much Needed Haircut! Roads were not bad. Glad I waited the extra day before venturing out. Gassed up the buggy while I was on the road, too.
Hope you're all enjoying a leisurely Sunday...

Sleep, sleep, and more sleep... approve of this plan!!
Thanks for the hugs - can never have too many IMO

I would just point out that there are also some here (well, me at least) who are, sadly, unable to contibute to the collective wisdom but who cheer the others on from the sidelines. "Go Spooners!"

Support is just as important as the information IMO.
I'm certainly not qualified to hand out certain pieces of advice... but I can help you find a reputable source for information... and I can stand by you in solidarity and provide Support Hugs, too

My poor sweet innocent babe in the woods.

Greetings and Salutations... are you new?
Well, you're new to me so I apologize if you've already received the standard welcome, but posting again just in case...
Here's the standard welcome for all café newcomers:
Welcome to the café.

We conduct ourselves a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit.

Post #1 introduces the joint... and glancing back over the last 10-20 pages provides additional context.

To be clear:
1. No religion 2. No politics 3. No drama 4. This isn't a hook up thread. Take it to the DMs or go somewhere else.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe

This applies to all who visit this thread.
If this feels like a good match, welcome...

If not then please keep looking on Lit -
There's so many threads to choose from. You're sure to find a few to your liking.

These are not mutually exclusive activities... right?
Right?!?

That’s my old tank! A cat absconded it!

Good word!!

I have had my share of sinusitis. It’s miserable. Heat really helps me especially packs or wash cloths and a sinus rinse using a squeeze bottle with warm saline solution. Remember to start with hot or warm filtered water rather than tap water. There are certain bacteria in the plumbing that can make the sinuses worse!

Sinusitis is the worst!
Yes, Always, Always use distilled water for a sinus rinse!! Never drinking water, tap water, or spring water.

I also always use the pre-mixed saline packages. They use the proper form of sodium and proper grade of ingredients that's all pH balanced for our bodies. Table salt is not the right kind of sodium for a nasal rinse.

I’m printing this and posting next to my mirror in the bathroom. In the midst of sinus pain, I can not think straight!

Excellent idea!! Sometimes our brains need a little extra support during these times.

That guy would be tossed off my range inside of 4 seconds. One does not fuck about with firearms. Load them, and one fucks about even less.

proper response to this situation!

They fuck it up for the sentient among us.

10% rule

I've had good luck with saline spray, too.


Just sayin'.

Yes - another great tool in the toolbox!!

A draw with the finger away from the trigger is de rigeur as well.

Doesn't a finger on the trigger indicate a commitment to firing? Pretty sure that's what I was taught. Until you're squeezing the trigger, there's no need to touch the trigger.

Good morning everyone. I hope you’ve been able to relax this weekend.

Oh BSK! Sounds challenging! Sleep schedules are so important but can be so hard to adjust them.

Probably not.

Safety first is a Rock Star Motto IMO!!
