Okay. I’m so NOT clicking on the mystery nostril story. Not before breakfast. And where are the bears? Did I miss something?

I can get the water in, but then it stays in and gets more infected. Yes, thank you very much.

I was following at WantNot too, so I wasn’t worried! After all, how fun is your personal, for-fun blog if it becomes a mandatory daily obligation? You need to spend the time with your family every so often. :-)

Neti pots rock. Unfortunately, I’m having to use one right now, too. (Yay for Monkey!) TMI is when I blow my nose and say, ooh, that isn’t a good color… You’re welcome.

I am so impressed that your son uses a Neti pot. One look at the pot my ENT doc gave me makes me blanch and break out in a cold sweat. I do WHAT, with WHAT? It just doesn’t seem…natural. Not as natural as a hearty dose of Sudafed, at least.

My husband does the Neti pot – eeeww. Meaness is underrated – it’s good for them!

On the upside it was rather cheerful to click over to check your blog and see the neat Chickie folded napkin saluting your Thanksgiving table. And of course we did have you at WantNot to visit with. Glad you had time to recharge.

So, while I guess I need to re-read the mystery nostril story, since I found mice in my range this week obviously I need appliances. And I bet I’m not the only one. (Who needs appliances, not who has mice in her range) So please tell us about your imploding kitchen!

However you decide to deal with Chickie, do NOT teach her to negotiate. I explained to my 5-year-old that when she whines I cannot hear her and when she throws a fit, I cannot help her because she will think it’s okay to behave that way. I taught her that if she can convince me through other means (asking nicely, bribing me with offers to do housework, etc) that she might be able to convince me to help her. And now – now I never get out of it because she NEVER STOPS negotiating. I see a future career budding for Gracie – criminals will beg to turn themselves in.

OK, I love it when your posts link back to older posts! What beautiful wedding pictures! (And your hair didn’t look anything like a flock of poodles!)

The phrase “nostril paperclip” is now part of my permanent mental lexicon. Thank you so much. I only wish I could explain to Josie that she’s lucky I only go after her nose with a big blue snot-sucker.
