Here I sit, with a bag of corn around my neck.

[RevCheesehead]

I wish I had a camera to post a pic. :)

[LaraMN]

1. i wish you had one too!

Sounds picturewsque.

[RevCheesehead]

2. It's also aromatic.

Smells like a barn. :freak:

[yvr girl]

3. OK, I'll bite

Why do you have a bag of corn around your neck? Did you lose a bet?

[RevCheesehead]

4. Take a wild guess.

I'm not that easy. :P

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Are you trying to attract chickens?

:shrug:

[RevCheesehead]

7. bgh-bgh-bgh-bu-GAH!

Ah, no. :)
But that may be an added benefit for the cats.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Is it some kind of health regimen?

Like trying to achieve better posture or clearing out your sinuses?:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

20. Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!

It started out that way. Actually, my sinusitis has travelled to my chest and lungs, so I'm trying to force it out with cherry mentholatum and a microwaved cornbag.

I must say, the aroma is rather... interesting.

[Rhiannon12866]

26. It was when you mentioned the aroma that I thought of that...

I'm so sorry that you're sick. I had the flu back in February and it seemed like it would never go away. But shouldn't you see a doctor if your lungs are involved? It took me three trips to the doctor, and some serious antibiotics, before I finally got well. And I had to have a chest X-Ray, in case it had turned to pneumonia...:-(

It does sound interesting, LOL! Where on earth did you hear of this? It sounds like a real old-fashioned remedy, even older than any my grandmother ever mentioned...:shrug:

I really hope that this helps... And that you're feeling better soon...:-)

Rhiannon:hug:

29. One of the church ladies made them for our bazaar last year.

She gave me one of them (people didn't know what they were, I guess).

Nah, this is the same ol' sinus infection that starts out as a tickle in the nose, then a day or two with a roll of paper towels (forget Kleenex - it's too damned flimsy, & the fibers irritate my allergies). Then it travels to my chest (bronchitis), and in a few more days, it'll come back up and out.

Doctors might give an antibiotic, but only if I've got a raging infection, or am at risk of developing pneumonia. I'm trying to nip it in the bud.

[Rhiannon12866]

34. Well, just be careful with this...

This used to happen to me, a cold that turned into a sinus infection that spread to my lungs, and I always ended up having to go to the doctor about it, since it never went away on its own, just got worse. And I haven't ben sick in years, but have had flu twice, recently, and it got pretty bad. I went to the doctor, but whatever he gave me didn't help, so finally was browbeaten into going back and they said that it was lucky that I did. I ended up having a chest X-Ray...:-(

And I can't imagine that these would be best-sellers at your church bazaar, LOL! People probably had no idea what they were, unless they are decorative!:D

Take care of yourself, my friend, and please get well soon.:hug:

Rhiannon:pals:

[yvr girl]

6. That's not what I've heard

I thought you were known as the Reverend Wild

Are we injured?

[RevCheesehead]

8. You've been talkin' to the RetroMan.

:evilgrin:

No injury, but you're on the right track.

[yvr girl]

9. Have you been doing 'wild' things with him

I thought his dance card was already quite full.

You have a pain in the neck...besides me?

[RevCheesehead]

12. No, no, no!

And I would hardly call you a pain in the neck. Think lower. :evilgrin:

[yvr girl]

14. Knee?

That's kinda strange.

[RevCheesehead]

15. nope.

Hey, is Billy still there with you?
If so, will you give him a huge :hug: from me?

[yvr girl]

17. I know I'll regret this

A huge what?

[RevCheesehead]

21. a hug.

Or a big wet kiss. Your choice.

[texas1928]

39. You got a little horsey with someone and they put you in your place???

:shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. I know! I know!

...and just how cool are you, dear Rev? :evilgrin:

Why..I'll answer that!

You are THE Coolest one in this thread! :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear Nelly!

Sweetie.......would you like to explain this to me?

Cause I sure don't get it!

:shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

19. Golly Gee Whiz!

Thought I had this conundrum "bagged", dear Peggy! x(

Read here...http://melbay.safeshopper.com/5/cat5.htm?408

[RevCheesehead]

22. Those are great!

I might order the kokopele one for myself.

I read that a Methodist church's women's group made a bunch of these to send to the troops in Iraq. Pretty neat idea, eh?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear Nelly!

How cool is that?

Very!

Aren't you the smart one? :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

13. Um, nope.

But I thank ye for the compliment! :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

28. Was wondering if it was the cool corn bag or the microwavable one

Guessed wrong the first time.

Shoot! I had a 50-50 chance to get it right and blew it! :cry:

Meanwhile...sure hope you feel better quickly! :hug:

And here's a pic for you, too!

[RevCheesehead]

30. OMG, it's Catzilla!!

:rofl:

You made an educated guess, thinking it was the heat.
Alas, for me, it's the air conditioning in cars that makes me sick.

And I must say, sitting in the a/c at home with a warmed-over bag o'corn is rather comfy. If I could, I'd purr right now.

[Robeson]

18. Is it some type of religious ritual....

...like eating crackers and grape juice?

[RevCheesehead]

23. Hmmm...

Not that I know of. But if you give me a few minutes, I could probably come up with some theological rationale. :rofl:

[Robeson]

24. Oh, just review the Council of Chalcedon....

...you'll be able to come up with rationales for anything from that one....;-)

[RevCheesehead]

25. *snort*

There are probably about 5 people on DU who know what you're talking about.... but that's damned funny! :rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

31. No doubt it's corn from this holiest and most reverent of all corn alters

[RevCheesehead]

32. Oh. My. God.

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

33. I got it!

[LostinVA]

35. The Methodist Church must have some new weird methods I haven't heard abou

Would Mr. Wesley approve???

[RevCheesehead]

37. Actually, he probably would!

JW was into the "technology" of his day, and had an innate curiosity about things in general. But it wouldn't surprise me to learn that people have been doing this sort of thing for generations.

[merh]

36. Are you wearing the corn in case the cost of case keeps going up?

Just so that you will be prepared? :shrug:





























Sorry you aren't feeling well, take good care of yourself. :pals: :hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

38. That's not a bad idea.

How are ya, O Divine One? :hug::loveya:
