Imagine the scenario: Philippa and her boyfriend are in the bathroom. The door is ajar but not very much so. Merman is walking upstairs approaching the bathroom.
He hears the following from Philippa's boyfrend, in a commanding tone of voice:
"Just tilt your head back and stick it in!!!!!"
Downstairs, I hear a sharp fatherly loud voice:
"What are the two of you DOING in there????!!!!!!"
*********************
So I ask you, what were my two little lovebirds doing together in the bathroom? Remember this is a family forum. 😀

I use the McNeil sinus rinse kit. Couldn't live without it. After having so many sinus infections and antibiotics that never seem to work or take weeks to work, the sinus flush does work. I've been on less medicine because of it and the same for my daughter. The first time you use it, you do kind of experience a drowning sensation for a second before the water comes out the other side. The temp of the water and saline has to be just right. Luckily it comes in pre-measured packets.
I'm not sure how the neti works...you tilt your head back? You have to tilt forward to use the sinus rinse.
OL, Philippa has had the most dreadful head cold this week and she says that thing works. You tilt your head either to the left or right and the saline goes up one nostril and then drips down the other. Pippi says it's gravity. She's feeling much better because of using it.

Glad she's feeling better. I think they make a huge difference.

It's nice to use a medication that's not chock-full of chemicals, even if using it caused her father to think twice about his daughter's motives. :lol:

He had to sit down and have a beer. :lol:
Merman is quite the opportunist, eh? :lol:
Actually, if I'd heard what he heard I would've needed something alot stronger than a beer!

If my father heard something like that, the door would not have hinges and the boy would be needing medical attention! :blink:
Family members w/ sinus issues swear by the rinse - I'd rather just go swimming!

Where's jdarg on this thread? She's a neti-enthusiast. A nethusiast, maybe?

Oh, good grief. They sell pots for that? I just snort water up my nose out of my hands. Maybe I'm a redneck...
:floor:
Seriously though, this whole Neti-pot phenomena kinda freaks me out... I had surgery on my soft palate last year and an unfortunate side effect has been that drinking anything too fast makes it shoot out my nose.
I failed to think about that a few weeks ago when a buddy of mine bought a round of shots at the bar...
:yikes: If shooting a "Duck Fart" out your nose ain't redneck, I dunno what is... 😀
beats on hood
Oh, Mermy, this nose thingy is too much for someone in a small town to comprehend. I mean, people in this town look at me like I'm some sort of weirdo when I ask for arugula at the grocery store. I think I'm gonna faint.
I think people here would be more comfortable with the sexual double entendre of your original post. I'm serious.

I have so many clever responses but out of respect for the Mer's I'll just sit here :floor:

I actually prefer the Neilmed sinus flush system-----nothing feels better than a good sinus flush! This one is a squeezy bottle...

I've been using Astelin since the waters too cold to go fully in. I've been wading tho.
