The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 09, 2024

They’d come good for my sinusitis. I’d must stock up on tissue until the call for surgery.

No matter what season, I also stock up.

Time for me to get a fresh bottle of the generic Nasacort® pump spray bottle from $ General.

Allergy season: s’not a good time.

It’s people like us who keep the tissue producers in business.

Gladys should at LEAST got a …… baker’s dozen!!!

;-)

Around here it’s the thousands of Russian olive trees and that sickly sweet smell they produce.The only remedy for it is waiting for a heavy rain to wash it all away.

I have a box in every room.

She would get a Puff’s knock-off – without the lotion.

Mine are a lot less severe now that I take prescription allergy medicine.

Tissue dependency is a serious problem in this country and I think that Dr. Biden should start a new campaign of “Just say Blow”

the nose knows…

Binge-watching a chick flick on Netflix?

Quick get the Neti pot ready!

Runny, stuffy noses are the norm for my wife and myself. Allergy season for us, here, is a year round issue.

Poor Brutus, not only do Veeblefester and Mother Gargle chafe him raw; now he’ll have a sore nose from blowing it all the time.

This is funny because?

And here I am thinking Glady’s gonna watch Schindler’s List.

yup, my family goes through quite a lot of tissue boxes too… now for the kleenex, that’s a different set of laughs… :}

Ah, the never-ending allergy season.

Nothing new huh Brutus ?

It’s those little things that make me realize that the climate, she’s achanging. Plus those Cuban anoles that blew in with the last hurricane.

That’s why God invented Costco…..

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve had less and less need for tissues as the allergies have subsided. When I was younger, I was allergic to just about everything but would only suffer a little. Now, that I’m older, I’m allergic to only a few things, but can die from anyone of them.

And there you have it………

I notice one box is open. Must’ve been a rough drive home. She should stock up on the Zyrtec too. Or Claritin, Allegra, whatever. Works wonders for me. Plus, easier on the landfills

Never had them till I was in my 40’s. They aren’t too bad but I got em!

It’s especially true in this area with all the rain we’ve, I got my stash yesterday.

Nice name for the tissues, are they so thin they go poof when you blow on them.

I’m thinking of buying stock in a kleenex company

I can relate! I order 8 family-size boxes of Puffs Plus every month and I live alone. I have boxes in my kitchen, each bathroom, my desk, and by the couch. My nose constantly runs. I take allergy meds and use a nasal spray. Thankfully, my nose isn’t raw. Puffs Plus works!

I thought maybe there was a run on toilet paper again.

Around here, allergy season starts in February. We’re just about done with “everyone drives a yellow car” season, but that doesn’t hit allergies as hard. Almost time for summer allergies and then October and fall allergies. January is about the only time it doesn’t hit so hard.

With the allergies I have, I don’t need tissues, but I need lots of cough medicine. My savior med is called “Tessalon Perles,” by prescription only. One of those little gems stops my coughing almost immediately.

Shopping at Costco

somehow, i don’t see “poofs” ending up as a generic term… ☺

A coworker brought in a really bad cold instead of using sick days, add allergies to that and I went through 3 boxes of tissues plus 2 rolls of toilet paper used as tissues when I ran out of the real thing in less than a week

When it comes to allergies, who nose?

I thought I didn’t have any allergies, but recently found out that I have an allergy in one eye. Just one. No need for extra tissues, I just have to put drops in it. No testing needed. Allergy shots work well from the people I know that have had them. I know someone who had a mold allergy so bad it resulted in permanent scar tissue in the sinus cavities. One year of weekly shots, and the allergy is gone. Shots will continue for a bit, but mold season came and went with no problems. It’s not me, but I would get the shots if I had an allergy that made me miserable.
