Product Recommendation



Rarely do I make a product endorsement on this blog. In fact, I can’t remember doing so. This product works, at least for me.


For most of my life I’ve had sinus problems. For instance, I was never able to go deeper than 6’ in a swimming pool without pain. All techniques to “clear my ears” never worked.

In the past year I’ve developed a problem with balance; feeling symptoms similar to a stroke. My primary care doc didn’t find anything that would indicate a stroke but did prescribe nasal decongestants.

A friend with similar problems uses this product and encouraged me to get one. So glad I listened!

These go for around $100 or so. Being a cheap bastard, I got one refurbished for $40.

As always, YMMV.

I’ve found it easy to use. Often I need to pause, blow my nose, and continue.  After a week’s use, my “stroke” sensation nearly stopped, from often to once every three to four days.

I keep hearing how well those things work, but I just can't bring myself to try one.

The only product recommendation I remember you making was for the snow rake I ordered from "Sam Savage" or whatever his name was.

Several years ago I commented on the Slipstream line of firearm lubricants. I sent some to my son when he was in Kandahar. It proved to be superior to what they had and I ended up sending more.

Unless you have sinus problems, the product isn't that useful. For me it is a life enhancer.

I've heard that they work well, though I've never used one.

Good news! And I may have to try one. Sinusitis is my problem.

Only if you need it.

Big difference for me. My friend's problem affected him differently than me - massive headaches. It has been a game changer for him.

Of the many things I like about this post, thrift is perhaps top. Why give these robbers $100 when you can give $40?

My Grandmother, who was rich but lived through the Depression, was always big on this. "We've forgotten the value of thrift!" she'd say as she walked into the Piggly Wiggly before exiting stage left to the country club she, ahem, founded.

She was, of course, a terror, and HATED being in "assisted living" for the last year of her life.

Sorry. I digressed.

According to Ancestry.com I'm the whitest white boy there is. 99.9% NW Europe. However, those who know me say I must be Jewish! It is nearly a mortal sin to pay retail.
