Achoo!

[RevCheesehead]

Pardon me, but my allergies are KILLING me!! x(

[Broken_Hero]

1. sorry...:(

maybe some benadryl will help you out...:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

3. I'm already taking Zyrtec.

Waaaay too much dust in the air. :hi:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

2. REV!!!

:hug:

And... I completely understand. :(

[RevCheesehead]

5. Hey, girrrrrrl!

How's life treating you? :hug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

7. In most respects,

Very nicely. :D :hug: How're you doing? (Besides allergies? :( )

[RevCheesehead]

9. I'm having a great week!

I've taken time off from work, and am focusing on getting myself and my space in order. Sadly, the dust has to be dusted off the clutter before I can vacuum it up. But the sense of accomplishment is fantastic! :D

[LadyoftheRabbits]

10. Wonderful!

:bounce: :D I'm glad you're well. :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

45. Poor you!!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

The dollar stores sell dust masks in packs of 10 here. Maybe you could wear one while cleaning up...? I wear them when sanding old paint off of furniture pieces.




Re: Zytec
I have to take it occasionally as an add-on to the Allegra am taking for controlling hives. When I do take it, am only taking 1/2 the child liquid dose as the regular adult dose pill wires me for 6-8 hours and leaves me feeling logy the next day. :yoiks:

[Katina]

4. bless you

hopefully you have some claritin on hand.

[RevCheesehead]

6. Thank you, Katina!

My allergy meds aren't doing much to help me right now. That's what I get for not cleaning for the last 6 months or so. :banghead:

[Katina]

8. hmmm, in that case

I would wait until the dead of winter to get the cleaning done...otherwise, you not only have the dust, but all kinds of late summer/early fall pollen & mold to contend with. The dry winter house heat should help...(I hope)

[RevCheesehead]

11. It would only get worse.

My doctor gave me a booster dose of prednisone, which does help (at least, temporarily) in keeping the sneezing under control.

The windows have been closed for several weeks now, so I really can't put it off any longer. Besides, the dead of winter is usually one of my busiest times of the year. But thanks for your kind suggestions. :)

[Katina]

12. it wasn't really kind...

it was my typical procratination... :D

I do hope you feel better..allergies suck.

[reyd reid reed]

13. Poor thing

Lots of fluid and rest and it won't last. It'll be finished soon, I hope.

Until then...

:hug::hug::hug:

[RevCheesehead]

15. Awww, thanks!!

I told the clerk at the pharmacy today "I want my mommy." :hug::hug::hug:

[swag]

14. Oh, sorry. I thought it said "alcohol."

Not seeing too clearly.

Call me back when it says "alcohol."

[RevCheesehead]

16. I'll drink to that!

Hell, why didn't I think of that?

:toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Rev!

It's lovely to see you tonight.....

Sorry your allergies are giving you so much trouble.......

I hear you about cleaning......Have a look at my thread!

And......feel better, sweetie...... :loveya: :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

19. I saw that, and I'm embarassed to say....

That I'd be really happy if your "before" pic was my "after" pic!

Congrats on getting your life organized! :hug::loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Thanks, sweetie!

And.....no need to be embarrassed! :loveya: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Argh, allergies.

Feel better soon. :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

20. Thank ya, darlin'.

:hug::loveya:

You, too. ;)

[merh]

21. God Bless you!

Oh, he does, doesn't he! :silly:

Get some honey that is harvested in your community and make it a part of your daily diet. (A spoonful in your tea each day or just eat a spoonful, whatever.) They say that helps you get over your allergies because you are building up an immunity of sorts to the pollens in your area (all the ones them bees get a hold of).

I hope you feel better soon! :pals:

:hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

22. That's positively BRILLIANT!!

You are so wise, O Divine Ms. M! :hug::loveya:

[merh]

27. I didn't think of this on my own.

:blush: I read it in a home remedy book.

I'd try it, but can't seem to find any bee harvesters around here (the wind blew and the poopoo flew) and any way, the bees don't like the formaldehyde in the trailer, so it wouldn't help my allergies.

I do have 3 air purifiers, you might one to get you a couple of them. :crazy:

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

30. I have five air cleaners, and I've been cleaning them EVERY DAY!

That's how bad it is around here. It's all my own dust, too. Well, OK, and lots of cat dander and hair, too. :D

I might have to bite the bullet really hard and go to an allergist again. Sigh - more money I don't have to spend. :(

Oh, and no need to credit outside sources. An idea is only brilliant if you happen to think of it at the right time. :P :hug:

[merh]

35. have you considered super glue

and a leave blower?

Glue down all objects you don't want blown about and then go to town with the leave blower (electric of course, don't need the gas fumes in the house to iritate your sinuses.)

:hi:

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

24. Say, I just thought of something...

would the same theory hold true for the use of the local wine, as well as the local cherry delights? ;)

[merh]

26. The cherry delights are universal

and for some, the same can be said of the wine.

I'm not much for the grapes, well I do like eating grapes, but smashed ones just don't rock my boat.

Now a good rum can provide a pleasant escape, as if on some exotic island, but I really don't know what is the susbstance that gives the rum it's yum. :freak:

Time for google!

where were we?

[merh]

29. Rum

Rum is a spirit made from by-products of cane sugar. Molasses1, or cane sugar is mixed with water in huge vats. Fermentation can occur spontaneously but in some cases yeast is added. The sugars convert to alcohol and the basis of rum is formed. Distillation is utilised to give the product known as rum.

yum in rum - cane sugar! :silly:

[RevCheesehead]

31. So it's like a candy cane?

Pardon me - I think I have some Peppermint Schnapps around here somewhere. :)

[merh]

34. Coconut Rum

that has been my drink of choice. Only problem is, I ran out of the little umbrellas that make drinking it in my land yacht so appropriate. :silly:

[RevCheesehead]

36. land yacht.

:rofl:

I was talking to my bishop about you and your FEMAnsion. She admired your sense of humor in the midst of great trial. So, see - even in adversity, God is using you. O8)

[merh]

37. I've been used by the best, sweetie!

;)

You kind of get used to it, but you sure wish you could get a break! x(

Yes, land yacht, it rocks and rolls in the weather and the captain just goes where he wants, no known destination, just along for the ride. :)

[CC]

25. Sorry to hear about your allergies but

were you reading my mind? I started dusting upstairs Sunday because I couldn't stand it. Downstairs is a wait until drywall is finished. I don't have a problem with dust allergies but my step son does. He used to wear a dust mask when he had to dust. It cut down his sneezing and asthma attacks. Now he he has an OCD gf so he never has to worry about dust.

OT but in answer to Pixel, no springs in our box-springs, but found she was curling up on a small brace in it. Mysti found her first again but I got there in tome to see where.

[RevCheesehead]

28. Hi ferrettessa!

Yeah, I have some dust masks - somewhere. They're probably covered in dust.

What I really need is an OCD husband. One who doesn't mind cleaning and lifting heavy objects.

You know, I think Pixel might just enjoy the fight. Go, Pixie! :rofl:

[CC]

32. It is Mysti that enjoys the

fight, specially when she gets Pix while she is sound asleep. Pix just thinks if she hides she won't go in the cage. Both of them are deaf so I can't just call them and the screaming is louder even if they can't hear each other. I wish Pix and Peachy would realize if they didn't attack the others none of them would ever get caged. Mysti is just never going to forget and let it go now though.

The only OCD husbands I ever saw couldn't put clothes in a hamper, but next to it, filled the fridge with hot sauces and beer varieties and created dust.

[RevCheesehead]

33. Yet one more valid reason for remaining single:

Dust for one. :rofl:

[CC]

38. At a party this summer another couple

was talking about how if they knew what they know now they would still marry. Then they ask me and Terry and he looked at me. The dummy. :rofl: I said, "It depends on when you ask. Probably, would be my answer at the moment."

[Oeditpus Rex]

39. Who knows

what the wind's gonna bring when the invalids sing
"La la's" with a powerful sting that'll stop any opera or any Bing
Sing, spread the news across the land
All winners will be also-rans

Achoo — one size fits everyone
Achoo — one breath, the deed has been done

Grey hair and a dash and a flair give your doctor an air
I'm hurt, but the choice that you made is an obvious one for a girl who needs care
I do hope that he makes you well
Say, is there any cure for hell?

Achoo — one size fits everyone
Achoo — one breath, the deed has been done
Sing, Ile de France and everywhere
You can't ignore that sort of air
Achoo — one size fits everyone
Achoo — one breath, the deed has been done

So, open wide, open wide and say, open wide and say goodbye, you'll be OK

Achoo — he's gonna whisk you away
Achoo — he's gonna make you OK
Achoo — he's gonna whisk you away
Achoo — he's gonna make you OK
Achoo — he's gonna whisk you away
Achoo — he's gonna make you OK
Achoo — he's gonna whisk you away
Achoo — he's gonna make you OK

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

41. One comment, and one question:

"Say, is there any cure for hell?"
You know I have an answer for this. O8)


"Achoo — he's gonna whisk you away
Achoo — he's gonna make you OK"
Who's "he"? :loveya:

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. They don't say

It's an old song by Sparks.



:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

44. ...

:bounce::bounce::woohoo::bounce::bounce:

:loveya:

[lizziegrace]

40. Same here Rev

I'm waiting for the first frost/freeze to hit. :(

tissue?

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

42. No thanks, I'm allergic to tissues.

That's why I keep a big roll of paper towels nearby. :)

I finally have a nice, cool day when I can open the windows and clear out some of the dust. Of course, the neighbor sees this as the perfect time to go out and mow the grass that DOESN'T NEED MOWING! :grr:

:Achoo!:

:hug:
