Have allergies? Live in Portland.Not exactly the city’s slogan, but nice to know. A new study, ranking the 100 most challenging cities to live with allergies, places Portland 100th. In other words, it’s the best place for allergy-affected.The study was conducted by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). The data measured and compared includes: Pollen scores (airborne grass/t

If it's fall, the symptoms may be back with a vengeance: nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing and fatigue; maybe even wheezing and chest tightness. Sound familiar? If so, you probably have seasonal allergies and have been advised to treat the symptoms with antihistamines or corticosteroid drugs. But why put a Band-Aid on a cut you could have prevented in the first place? Th

Don’t mean to be a stranger, but we’re sick. All sorts of miserable. BUT we did have an amazing visit with these guys and I promise to post some photos soon. In the mean time, I leave you with this tidbit of cute courtesy of Mamac-ta’s magnificent camera… [...]

Adolf Hitler was conducting a General Staff meeting, when somebody sneezed."Who was that!?" shouted Hitler, whirling around from a wall map of Europe. Nobody said anything."I see," he said, "I will have 10 of you shot. And maybe then you will tell me who sneezed?"A Gestapo agent took 10 people out of the room. Shots were heard, then silence."I will ask again," yelled Hitler, "who sneezed?" Again,

Today’s San Francisco Chronicle has an article by Christie Keith about drug-resistant staph infections (aka superbugs), and why pet owners need to be aware. There’s a new and growing threat to your pets’ health, and while I wish I could tell you it’s just another Internet rumor, it’s all too real. I should know, because my [...]

The gesture of giving someone your number becomes a more meaningful occasion.Engraving the phone number onto the inside of the ring to be given to someone who you wish to "ring" you.This seems like it is an overly elaborate way of giving someone your number, you could just write your number on a napkin an give it out. But I guarantee that if you give someone a ring with your number on it they will remember you, and maybe actually call you back.projectsneezevia pan-dan

My nose is increasingly over-sensitive. Almost every dust I sniffed sends an allergic reaction and launching an incessant coughing & sneezing fiasco until I almost spew my lungs out. It’s terrible! I can’t focus nor concentrate. And the noise I create annoys the people around me. - not to mention sneezing’s a tough chest workout [...]

It’s not like I didn’t brace for it. After all, I’ve been pregnant a few times over the last six or seven years, so I know what to expect. I was walking into Loblaws when I felt it coming on, and I even paused and braced for it. It didn’t help. I sneezed, and to my utter dismay, I squirted. What the hell? I’m barely six months pregnant, and I didn’t even have a full bladder. I’ve even been doing my kegels. Speaking of kegels, after birthing 9 lbs and 10 lbs of boy, I take my kegels very seriously. If I didn’t, I imagine my uterus may end up dangling somewhere between my knees by the time I whelp this one. I remember from our prenatal classes, way back when I was pregnant with Tristan, that the nurse said you should find an activity that you do every day and use that activity as a reminder to do your kegels. I could have maybe chosen when I’m standing in my private kitchen making dinner, maybe chosen my private bathroom w

I have a dilemma on my hands. Since I moved to my new office earlier this year, I have come into contact with someone or something that I am allergic to. At home, no sneezing. At work, it’s Sneezapalooza. I sneeze so hard and so often, co-workers are afraid to bring their small children into the building for fear I will scare and/or injure them. There is also the little matter of it being difficult to get your work done when you are sneezing every 2.81 seconds. So where’s the dilemma? Unlike everyone else in the world, I look good when I sneeze. It’s true. Granted, I have been unable to visually confirm this since my eyes are closed when I sneeze (and even if they weren’t, my image does not reflect in mirrors), but I have it on good authority I am one handsome devil when I do one of my patented “having to sneeze at the exact moment I am drinking coffee” tricks. True, the individual who stated it had that creepy “stalker” vibe about him,

It was almost a year and a half ago. In May of 2006, it was after I attended a Japanese anime convention. I started to get sneezing spells. I had fun during the convention. I cosplayed (dressing up as a fictional character. e.g. Capitan Kirk from “Star Trek”) as my favorite anime character, Vash the Stampede from Trigun. A few people asked if they could take pictures. I even had a conversation with fellow fans about items sold in the dealers room. Could I have caught a cold from someone at the convention (which is common, when you attend such meetings), or maybe people were talking about me, on how such a cool cosplayer I was? It could be the ladder. However, there is a Japanese myth where one would sneeze when a colleague of theirs talks about him/her out of line of sight. Even from 100 miles away! This is from knowledge of watching so much Japanese animation for 10 years. Hahaha!

A good psychic would pick up the phone before it rang. Of course it is possible there was no one on the other line. I knew a psychic who once said "God Bless you." I said, "I didn't sneeze." She looked deep into my eyes and said, "You will, eventually." And damn it if she wasn't right. Two days later I sneezed. --Thanks to Ellen Degeneres <!-- Begin BidVertiser code --> affiliate program <!

Can a single sneeze truly mean life or death for your business? The answer is absolutely without question! Perhaps you have considered or even implemented policies and plans for terrorist attacks or natural disasters with relation to your business's Continuity of Operations (COOP) in this post 9/11 landscape. Or perhaps you have been dragging your feet gambling that your little town in Middle America is impervious to such things. And maybe you don't live on a fault line, or in tornado alley, or near dry forests that catch fire in a lightning storm. And perhaps terrorist do not have it "in" for your general store down the street.But there is an enemy with a broader paintbrush that can have a much deeper impact than those "localized" threats pose regardless of geography, gender, culture, race, or any other classification.Your government has been talking about it and even provided a detailed road map to protect your business to from falling prey to it or at least to minimalize
