A Few Things Worthy of Hatred

  1. When people fall asleep against you on the bus.
  2. The shoddiness of umbrellas.
  3. Pseudophedrine being unavailable as an over-the-counter medication in Oregon (thanks for screwing that up for the rest of us, tweakers...)
  4. One's nose and upper lip turning red from all the kleenex.
  5. Inconsiderate neighbors.
  6. Cleaning the bathtub.
  7. Grown men and women who either a. do not cover their mouths when coughing/sneezing or b. don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. Or neither.
  8. The human condition.

1) Afrin.

Get the 12 hour moisturizing spray, use it at night and you'll sleep.

2) Jewish penicillin (matzo ball soup) makes everything better. Maybe C would like matzo balls?

Sounds more like Beijing than Oregon.... on every single thing you mention in this post.

The Chinese cure is hot coke (boil it) with fresh ginger slices in it. No, I'm not kidding.

My solution is neti-pot, humidifier, and when it gets really bad you need the greatest thing ever invented:

There's got to be something similar in Oregon... I got mine in Berlin, but I heard this kind of thing works for a few euros. Maybe it's the same thing K recommends.
