Good mevenoon Sup, Endre, and anyone else I've not greeted.
I'm going to post this here one more time for people that like to learn about stuff and missed it last night.
https://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/

They have a mother site where you can buy these courses outright.
https://www.thegreatcourses.com/

I've bought 8 courses from them over the years, always at their 'normal' 70% discount. Turns out that would have paid for about 2-1/2 years worth of membership to the new plus site.
These are professional courses ranging from a few hours to 36 hours each.
I don't recommend too many things but I will this.

EndreWhiteMane: I use one of these (called a 'neti pot') nearly every day. After a few times they are very easy and quite pleasant to use and do a great job of clearing nasal passages of pollen, dust, smoke, etc.
Kinda gross looking but I highly recommend it.

Morning all.
Me too, my ENT doctor told me to do so. And I've had a couple of nose surgeries that required its use. I do it just before bed so I can breathe okay when I'm asleep.

Only sane people would write warnings on signs. :l
It's not even written in blood.

I was thinking more of purple with polka dot spots. Has more of that "insane" feel to it. I mean, I'm sane, but still.

JunglePredator: Smoke is actually a particle that sticks to things; you can see people's allergies flare a bit after rain because rain drops hit pollen & smoke particles are hit by rain drops in the atmosphere & brought back down to earth where they stick on plant leaves & the like.
Then the plants get disturbed by wind & people & they breath in the particles.
So ya... you can have smoke stuck in your nose.
(It's also kinda what causes smog but not exactly)

zeogold: Huh. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

Ya well... I try to be informed about stuff like that.
I have vested interest.
Other bad times (at least for me because of my specific allergies) are times when things are cycling fast... like during a spring/winter day where temp fluctuates between freezing & non-freeing. Day like that when I was working with spruce trees at work I had an asthma attack... customer ran to his car to get his own medication because he said I was turning blue. Also days when things are drying a lot & might be particularized. Good example is grass; I'm more likely to react to cut dry grass than wet cut grass (though oddly if I expose myself to the cut wet grass the reaction is many times worse... like the particular item I'm allergic to in it leaks out in the water).
Each allergen also has specific reactions; cigarette smoke makes me sneeze/cough however wood smoke only makes me sneeze depending on the woods burnt.

Not necessarily. I may just be ZenWan after all. There's no way we can be entirely certain.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone. =)

I hope you're all doing at least fairly well today.

Additional - Seeing Gearbox's latest game on sale for 40 percent off, one month after release is hilarious.

You know, I actually had a theory that a handful of people in this thread are the same person :-p
