26? damn impressive. i usually sneeze only once.

Unfortunately, it was the ER today.. at first it looked like appendicitis and scary as all hell, but it turned out to be a kidney stone and she is home and fine now..

I was too scared to remember to ask the doctor about the sneezes.. smile

When I die, and if there's a God to whom I can ask questions... I got a list. "Why the hell do we have an appendix," is one of them. Glad to hear she's doing okay, and sorry to hear she had a rough start to the New Year.

Death and I have a working relationship.

Re: Grüß Gott!

Dude, appendicitis (and even kidney stones) is nothing to sneeze at!  (No joke intended, and I'm glad it was "just" kidney stones.)

I usually start with either gesundheit or salut; on the second sneeze I use the one I hadn't used before; on the third I say something like "OK, now you're just an attention whore."

Vast One, I hear kidney stone can be very painful, I know appendicitis is.  Poor child -- give her our best wishes, will you?  neutral

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

It is considered unfriendly in my family to say anything. Depending on the intensity of the sneeze, the human body might be in a highly alarmed state, in wich any diversion of attention could lead to a far more unpleasant feeling than the sneeze itself. The last thing a sneezing person needs, is being reminded that somebody else is around. A sneeze is not a fart. That's why I say gesundheit when somebody farts.

I'm so meta, even this acronym

^ No matter what Awebb says, whether in jest or seriousness, whether about computer or bodily functions is priceless.  I'm invariably impressed with his depth and breadth of knowledge -- and humor.  smile
