My mom's been sick with some kind of viral cough/cold/"snogginess," lol, for over a month. My wife said as much (that it was likely viral) when she yakked all day about having had enough and needing to see a doctor. People think, "Oh I'm sick, I'll call my doctor and get antibiotics." Thanks for helping to create all the superbugs.
Anyway, I suggest a neti pot. "Oh, I think I got rid of it. I didn't like it." Well, shit, mom - I don't like using them either, but I get over sinus infections in days instead of weeks, suck it up! Then I remember, "MIR 2.1!" I sat on the couch thinking about how to suggest it to her. I do, and the speed and totality of instant dismissal blew my mind - money back guarantee, no medication, no doctor visit, and all. I had to stop myself from calling my own mother "obtuse." I also find it plain insulting that my own seal-of-approval was dismissed by a person whose trust I feel I have earned many times over.
Anyway, everyone here should realize you're a special group. Sometimes I feel like I live on a different planet than everyone else, and here I get to be around "normal" people. Normal to me, anyway.
This is about as believable as magic to most people, don't take it to heart.
