jvlgato Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Jacob, try Neilmed with distilled water then Astelin twice daily. Takes about two weeks to fully kick in but you will feel much better. This is what I do, except using Sinucleanse over Neilmed just because it's easier for me to get cheaper. Plus I use antihistamine eye drops. Nasal steroids give me nose bleeds and make me feel edgy. Oral antihistamines make me feel tired. Pseudoephedrine makes me feel edgy and raises my blood pressure. But that's just me. Edited September 12, 2012 by jvlgato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Good luck at the doctor, Dinny. I have two people I know with artificial knees, it's not by any means as ludicrous as the ankle story. Because of the whole "ball joint" thing that the ankle is (I think Vicki told me this), it's a lot harder to replace/fix than a knee. But still, hopefully it's not something that bad, and something that the doc will do something about. EDIT: Sorry, forgot one -- 3 people -- Hirsch being one of them.thanks for the suggestions. i'm hoping to not have to take anything, after this clears up, but something tells me that won't be the case. i've been making my own saline rinse (1 tsp sea salt to 1 tsp baking soda to 1 cup boiling water [allowed to cool, of course]), which helped some.And that's an unseasoned pot, right? I mean, as much as you like bacon lard, it's not something you want to be smelling all day, right? And is that sea salt, or what? Wooden spoon to stir?

swt61 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Good luck at the doc dinny. He will probably advise you to get a bicycle. Which in NYC would probably cause a whole new set of health issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Good luck at the doc dinny. He will probably advise you to get a bicycle. or tell you to go to PT and they will tell you to ride on a bike. Don't you do spinning Dinny?

I have just one word.........Stryker. http://getaroundknee.com/ They are publicly traded so if you need their products you can buy their stock too and recoup your deductible overtime. You can thank me on the next HeadCase get together. Edited September 13, 2012 by Augsburger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 It seems odd that he is holding a Brooklyn Sorachi Ace rather than some esoteric British brew. Nice shop though. Plenty of Brew Dog on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of Brew Dog on the shelf. He said that was his favourite brew of the moment, and was not for sharing as it demanded to be drunk on its own, unadulterated by lesser brews. Plus it's exotic as far as he's concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nothing at all wrong with his choice, just expected an Anglophile selection. His shelves have largely American beers on them, which means he must have to charge beaucoup quid. Sorry, Shelly. I can get you some Bruery selections whenever you like, so let me know what you are wanting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm just going to refi every other week until 2015. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm wondering if interest rates are going to go negative. The weird thing is that we're now getting to the point where refi is no longer a good choice as there aren't enough points to drop to offset the inevitable fees. 15yrs were already at 2.5 to 2.75, 30's at 3.5. By my math, to keep the payback to what I would consider reasonable you have to drop at least 1%. Time to call my mortgage broker and see if we can renegotiate the currently in progress refi (locked at 3.5). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yeah, at some point (hopefully, I guess, because it's a good sign) demand will start driving up rates, which my mortgage guy (a snake) was trying to convince me was already happening. I haven't been paying enough attention to see if he was right. Nate, you should definitely argue for a float-down if their rates have changed.

Dreadhead Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I have been looking into building an addition on our house here in Alexandria to make it so we can have a proper guest room rather than a fold out couch in an office and I have learned that builders here are f'ing crazy expensive. I do not think this will be happening now which is rather disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been paying enough attention to see if he was right.He's right, but it's not black and white. I listen to money news every day to see how the market is doing, and we're pretty much scraping bottom, like a ship in shallow waters when the tide is out, except upside-down if you're thinking of the sand bar as the indicator. I have to admit, I don't differentiate between DC area and national average. It's going to be a long slow process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
