Arrrgh! Help Me!


    Okay...  I need a big bit of help here.  I seem to be suffering from a nasty bout of the hiccups, and well...  I need a cure.  They're driving me batty.

    So, do me a favor, dear reader, and scare me.  Terrify me.  Please?

*update*   Thanks for all your scare tactics.  Some of you are pretty damn scary (Emily?  Please don't even joke about Emperor George.  I'm half-thinking that The Dick would rub out Dubya just so he could institute Marshal Law and be president for life.  That really spooks me). 

    Anyway, the cure I turned to for my hiccups was to slam a shot of bitters.  Yes.  I consider it the "nuclear option" in terms of hiccup cures, but it worked.   Man...  That stuff is nasty, and I certainly don't recommend it for the faint of heart or the weak of tummy.  Still, it seems like a sure-fire last resort. 

    Thanks for trying though.

    You will think I am crazy, but this never fails for me.  You need a big cup of water and a straw.  Put it in front of you.  Stick your index fingers in your ears really well to cause an air lock.  Drink that water at a medium steady pace... not too fast not too slow.  It usually works on the first try for me, after about half a glass.    Let me know... and ENT gave me the cure....

    be well,
    Dawn

    There will be no '08 election. Bush is now president until he dies.

    I think seeing my phone bill when my girlfriend was on maternity leave would do the trick with your hiccups
