Also, if it’s chronic, it might be a sign that the meatus of one or more sinus cavities is too narrow and not ventilating properly — which is where, unfortunately, surgery is the way to go. I can recommend a solid ENT in S’pore if you need, start with a proper endoscopy

Yes generic, and some come with packets of powder saline that you mix with water. Otherwise a teaspoon of clean table salt will do. Just make sure you boil the water first and let it cool down. It’s a hassle but you don’t want risking amoeba or similar climbing up the cribriform plate

Also, half a dozen drops of Olbas Oil in a bowl of very hot water, and you breath that in for a few mins with a towel over your head. Looks ridiculous but that stuff is potent af

Sorry to hear, that sucks. Do you get them often? I’ve had those for years until I got FESS, and not once since. Game changer for me. As for non-surgical solutions, a Netti pot with warm saline can relieve the symptoms, but if it’s bacterial, I’m not sure anything less than antibiotics will do

Never wore a Barbour jacket. How stretchy is the fabric? Can you, um, stretch out your arm fully?

No stamp in my passport. I was part of an official delegation so Uncle Sam knew anyway. And then the ESTA form asks if you’ve been to such and such countries, and you’d better not lie about it or you’re never entering the US ever again

Not only that, but it used to be that you would be eligible for the visa waiver again ten years after your last visit to a no-no country. But they recently changed the rules such that anyone who visited those countries since 2011 is ineligible in perpetuity

You mean at airport security? No, the hassle was in getting a visit visa to the US for my last couple of trips. You’re not eligible for the ESTA / visa waiver if you’ve been to a no-no country

Didn’t you have twice as many or something? It’s crazy how many bot followers the low-ish FIDS accumulated in the early days To be clear, I’m glad they’ve been purged, but it also shows that even when you gate signups with money, bots, uh, find a way
