Has anybody here ever tried using a neti pot? I suffer from constant sinus pressure and headaches, and I'm wondering if a neti pot might be useful. For those who don't know, a neti pot is a natural remedy from India, where you...

hockeygal4ever I have friends that have utilized it but only with the assistance of an ENT doctor. I've been told that improper use can actually cause damage or even cause you to get infections. It's my understanding that most any Natural or Herbal Stores carry them.

deborah_0515 I have used a netie pot. I suffer from very bad allergies, and my allergist recommended it about two years ago. It works wonderfully. It is a little uncomfortable at first, but you quickly get over that. I found mine at a Walgreens drug store. Good luck and I...

Cheap and excellent sushi is widely available in Toronto - but sake? Not so much. My husband and I are going to be vising California in a couple of weeks, and today I had a flash of inspiration. We're each allowed to bring a...

I know that the current thinking is that venting is good for you and that it's harmful to bottle up your emotions. But do you sometimes feel worse after letting it all out? I find that there are certain things that bug me,...

Pose123 Hi onesiobhan, I believe it depends on the situation. It is good to vent sometimes rather than keep things bottled up, but it's the way we do it that causes problems. We should always give some thought to what we are going to say, otherwise, we'll only create...

writing

greenscales The best time to write is when you get an idea. Even when I'm working I keep a notepad nearby in case I get a creative buzz. I could be in the middle of a project and get an idea for a story, so I write it quickly and get back to work. If I don't have a...

I live in a small street where everybody is responsible for shoveling and sanding their own sidewalk. And less than half the people on the street do it with any regularity! We had a thaw and freeze cycle here a couple of days ago,...

iheartpolkadots I don't know how cold it is there, but when it gets too cold, salting the sidewalks is useless becuase it won't work when its too cold, so maybe they are trying to deice, but because of the cold, its not a possible. The sidewalks are usually the cities...

zeloguy Absolutely. I subscribe to three magazines (which is being scaled down to two) and I am also a book fiend. I LOVE going to the bookstore. Whatever bookstore... B&N or a little antique bookstore. It doesn't matter to me. So my tastes in books are most...

moriakaice Well, I never enjoyed reading "heavy" books, so everything I read would rather be considered "light" - but then, it's meant to be fun, isn't it? And good science-fiction or fantasy story isn't bad =]

Xeedar the same happened to me, but for sure I had less money that you, for the hundred messages you've posted more than me. In any case, I think mylot resets the earnings of users after a certain inactivity time (mine has been quite long for example). I don't know...

babykeka80 That is a good question. I think you will probably have to contact mylot about that. I have no idea. It doesn't seem like they would disappear though. Have you looked in the TOS maybe after a certain period that your account is idol you forfeit your earnings....
