1. There is this girl at work that I'm really surprised it hasn't come to that.
She blows WAY too hard. It's gross. And she waits until we're all on the phone with clients, customers or vendors to do it. I swear, one day one of my Realtors asked me what the hell that was. It's disgusting. I wish she would get a nosebleed. Maybe she'd freaking stop it.

2. LOL
I don't think that's my problem since it's a recent development. ;)

And the damned dog's all up in my grill trying to figure out why I smell like a rare steak.

3. This is starting to get a little scary.
One of my co-worker's mom DID need a transfusion.

:scared:

7. That only happens to you, when you say something.
I am immune.

And Jenn's mom WON'T, not CAN'T (imho).

9. Yeah. No shit.
Well -- the story is that she can ONLY have 5 phones on her line. I know that's true, with up to a certain level plan. HOWEVER - if that's the case, that means she's got Jenn's brother, the babymaker, who lives in Wenatchee with his NEW girlfriend and HER kid (if she's not pregnant by now), on the plan and is more willing to pay for his phone than Jenn's. SHOCK.

And I'M the bitch in this equation just HOW, again, exactly? :eyes:

10. Lovely. As usual Jenn is the bottom of the barrel.
But hey, it's what she wanted, instead of living with you and all your Nazi-esque rules 'n' shit.

Seriesly, I will pay to upgrade to a nicer phone, but if you don't want to extend the contract, I GUESS I can live with pink. Maybe I can buy a case for it to cover it up. :P

11. Well, this is the deal.
If you want a "free" phone from them we have to pay for THREE lines of service. If you want to pay full price (like the pink phone got "stolen", say) you can get a phone from them. Or you can buy one off eBay. Or something. Then we can pay some fee to change the phone number - unless you want every former tweaker in the county calling you 800 times per day, of course. LOL

ORRRRRRRRRRRR - you can buy an iPhone, have it shipped to me, and I'll send you MINE. :D

4. Take some N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)
Available at your local earthy-crunchy store. It's the natural version of Mucinex, and man does that stuff work wonders...

:hug: Sorry you're sick, dude.

5. But I'm not sick, and not blowing hard! It's weird.
The last 2 days I've had to shovel out my parking spot in front of the house (freaking snowplows and their ice berms!!!) - which makes my nose run a bit - I come back in the house, blow, and next thing I know it looks like the Manson murders in my house. Well ... okay. Not quite.

14. Oy, that sounds awful...
Wonder what's going on that's thinning out your nasal capilaries. Taking Claritin, by any chance?

Sounds like your mucous membranes are really dried out (from the heat in your house, probably).
When they're dessicated, they become fragile. Try putting vaseline inside your nostrils at night,
or even Aquaphor or even a hand cream, if you don't have the others. It will really help.

Until then, wear a bib!:hi:

17. My nose is like that, so is my son's
It's a genetic defect that puts a weak blood vessel near the surface.

Don't squeeze so hard when you blow.
