My wife always suggests this when I have a cold EVEN THOUGH I have zero proof that she's ever done it. :) That combined with my fear of drowning means this dude ain't touching a neti pot! That's why God invented (or did he just create it out of nothing) Sudafed! Shane, this post is hilarious!

(In fact, I should get mine out now...) I use the neti pot. Not a favorite thing to do, but hey - if it works!

When my allergies are at their peak, that squeeze bottle is probably the only thing that saves me from demanding my very own oxygen bubble to live in. A few tips, don't squeeze too hard. If you are making your eyes/ears feel weird, you are doing it wrong. Okay, I'm just going to say it... blow your nose before AND after you use it. Most of the gunk will come out. Make sure you are using lukewarm water, otherwise it's uncomfortable and makes me want to cry. Try it every morning for a week, that way you adjust to it more. Yes, you look ridiculous when you use it (and Tom leaves the room, I think it ooges him out), but you already look ridiculous most of the time, so... *laugh* Okay, I’m a fan, I admit it.

Oh, well, I had a good laugh, anyway. Thanks, Shawn, and have a "safe and sane" 4th! There are so many things I would like to say about this, but most of them would probably get me into trouble….
