I started taking it today even though the cold weather that we are currently having minimizes my symptoms. I'm pretty optimistic that it will help my allergies without requiring shots (which I would prefer to avoid simply from a time commitment standpoint). Thanks for the encouragement to do something about it!<BR/><BR/>J: Since I've experienced allergies for approximately three of the 16 years we've been together, I'm not buying that as justification for no flowers. :-) As to you poetically describing my beauty, you have nearly left me speechless. I'd encourage you to give this speech a try one evening and see if it elicits the response you're hoping for. (If the response is hysterical laughter, I'm pretty sure I can deliver.)WordGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06204055870484888440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057235051586871190.post-45555076522312226502009-03-12T08:54:00.000-05:002009-03-12T08:54:00.000-05:00WordGirl, this is just another reason why I haven'...WordGirl, this is just another reason why I haven't bought you flowers very often in our 12.5 years of marriage...and when I poetically describe your beauty some night, I am now forewarned to avoid comparing you to a beautiful rose or a delicate lilly. <BR/><BR/>Instead I can be confident that you would prefer to be wooed by comparing your lips to a red pepper, or how your eyes are a beautiful shade of eggplant. Your skin is like the most beautiful wax bean around...I could go on and on but I'll stop for now. <BR/><BR/>JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342860347392442692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057235051586871190.post-70759359681083610002009-03-12T08:10:00.000-05:002009-03-12T08:10:00.000-05:00David suffers from allergies as well, which makes ...David suffers from allergies as well, which makes me so sad for him in spring and fall. And he also learned long ago to never buy me cut flowers. It's so impractical. They're just going to die anyway.Variations On A Themehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999890261136824148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057235051586871190.post-79844740366024103132009-03-11T21:00:00.000-05:002009-03-11T21:00:00.000-05:00This is a very practical suggestion; but I have su...This is a very practical suggestion; but I have suffered through so many awful springs and falls my whole life due to allergies myself that I am finally getting allergy shots. You can do this as adult, and it has made a WORLD of difference for me this spring in Louisiana. And I am only about one year in (the full treatment takes 3-5 years). Just a thought, as you are living in one of the worst places for allergy sufferers generally, and I think you expect to be there semi-permanently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
