Sinus Infections: An Environmental Impact Analysis
First, let me preface this post by acknowledging the disgusting nature of the above photo. Second, I would just like to say that this photo was not taken by me or in my home. Thirdly, this photo could have been taken in my home at any point in the past two days. My evil cold from several weeks ago returned this past Sunday, but this time it quickly became a sinus infection. For those of you who are not lucky enough to experience a sinus infection , aka sinusitis, let me tell you the pleasures associated with this condition. It is like having a really bad cold with severe congestion with the added bonus of feeling like you have a piece of granite sitting on top of your forehead. So, I have finally turned to our friend (and foe), western medicine, and started a dose of antibiotics. Still feeling like shit, but hoping I will be able to sleep tonight. At the same time that I have been in this condition, Robb is in the final throws of his first semester in the master's in environmental law program at Vermont Law School. He has been busy working on writing all kind papers in legalease about topics such as land use and zoning regulations. We always share our writing with one another so I have really been trying to be a good listener and editor despite my compromised condition. The picture above of the sick little wolf with the academic-looking racoon reminded me of what Robb and I have looked like over the past few days, only with a little less fur. Robb is a really supportive and loving person so I know it is tough for him to try to balance his studies with my sickness. Still, he has brought me lots of juice, soup, and love. While I sit there looking rather pathetic with my red and runny nose, he "happily" reads his legal briefs and tells me how cute I look (In this case, beauty is really in the eye of the beholder).
As I try to rest, I have been thinking about the environmental impact of this sinus condition. First of all, I have used an obscene amount of tissues and other paper products. I was feeling mildly guilty about this until I learned that you can compost tissues. So, my winter infection could turn into a summer tomato. How cool is that! I have also been taking lots of hot baths and showers and using more than my fair share of the water supply. It is the only way that I ever achieve the feeling that I can breath through my nose for more than a nanosecond so I will just have to ask for forgiveness. On the positive side, I have been spending a lot more time in bed and consequently using a lot less electricity. So, I think it all balances out. So, if you are environmentally minded and suffer from sinus infections, take comfort in the fact, that during this sick period, you just might be carbon neutral.

hi-i'm so sorry you are sick! sinus stuff is the worst-no sleeping cause you can't breath! i'm so happy you are interested in the pay it forward gifting. yes, you have it right-just post it on your blog. and you give to three people who want to do it. can you send me your email-i can't find it. sleep as much as you can-best medicine. do you have a "cool" mist vaporizer? best thing to help you breath at night-hope you feel better!!!!!!
Must be going around, I have a nasty cold. :(
I recommend unto you: a real hankie (seriously, get the linen ones from the men's department, beat the crap out of them, and then revel in your reusable, environmentally friendly, non-nose-killing snot rags) and Shower Soothers (these weird little pastille things you put in your shower that make menthol vapors).
Feel better soon!
My own experience with the annual sinus infection (which, hooray, did not suffer from last year!) is that (a) my upper teeth ache and every step I take makes them jar in my head and (b) antibiotics are a joke for this ailment. Even with powerful drugs, it's 7 to 10 days of hell.
Hope it works better for you!

I just joined this sweet place. Lots of people have contributed so many good things here. I would also like to contribute some thing for this community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you need to know how to lose 10 lbs in a week, you are probably not seeing for a common diet and exercise plan. You can lose weight with a common diet and exercise plan, However this demands a lot of time doing intense cardio workouts and sticking with a strict diet. Here I will draft the perfect steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a calendar week.
1. Stay away from all deep-fried nutrients for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of grapefruit with breakfast every day. (this accelerates up your metabolism)
3. Eat fair portions (stop eating when you are full)
4. Rather than taking 3 large a meals a day, eat 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Do not eat anything after 9pm. When you eat that late your body does not burn off the calories.
6. Get plenty of sleep every night. Not taking adequate rest has been proved to be a major factor to the body storing excess fat.
7. Utilize a body/colon clean for the 7 days. This will get rid of unnecessary weight stored around the stomach area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I reccomend you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is tested to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those man's/womans who want to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic beverage.

Mac OS: How to rip audio from DVD?
How to rip audio files from a DVD disc? This guide will focus on ripping audio files from DVD disc or DVD folder.
Tool: DVD Audio Ripper for Mac
