truth in advertising

I was thinking about getting one of these signs for my back gate:



TLM is so stealth, it'll look clear, but he'll be on your ass in a second and then it's too late. Not that I hate the thought of that, as you shouldn't be in my backyard anyhow, but I'm not trying to kill people and a warning only seems fair.

Inside, it's a different story:



No respect for the 9-5.

op

I've always had allergies and, eventually, asthma due to allergies. The asthma isn't an issue, as it only pops up every few years when my allergies are on a tear. A friend of mine has been telling me to oil pull for years, but she's not a born sales person.

"All you do is put some oil in your mouth and swish it around for 15-20 minutes. If you've ever given a blow job, you can oil pull. And the oil you don't even swallow."

I never tried it, as fun as that may sound, until she brought it up again recently. About 4 weeks ago, I thought I had bronchitis. It wasn't that, but the cough was terrible and breathing was a chore. It started to go away and then came back with a vengeance, so they put me on steroids and gave me some crazy steroid inhaler. My lungs got all aggro on the roids and I was feeling 90% the next day. I looked up oil pulling on the internet and, as not one site compared it to swishing a load around in your mouth for 20 minutes, decided to try it for myself.

I'm using the (organic) sunflower oil, only because it was what I saw first. I take a tablespoon into my mouth before getting into the shower, swish it around for a while, dry off, still swishing, until I hit 15 minutes. You can feel the oil thinning as time goes by, but the first time you spit it out (I highly suggest using the toilet for this, as it is oil) it's a little shocking. Not only is it as thin as water, it's snow white. It's whiter than the toilet bowl even the day after the cleaning lady left (if I had a cleaning lady, but I'm trying to impart that my toilet is not dirty, the oil is just that white).

I find it to be amazing.

I've been doing it for a little over 2 weeks now and can already feel a difference. The winds kicked up last week and my allergies didn't react. Today, it's windy and dry as a bone, but still nothing. My teeth actually feel cleaner and a little whiter, which seems weird to say after swishing oil. I remember this big whore in college and her teeth were super white. Anyhow, I've read the reviews online in which people say it helps nothing and changes none of their problems, but I couldn't find any unhealthy drawbacks, so I went ahead and tried it. For me, it's been great. It's really impacted my allergies in such a short time, I can't wait to see how much better this gets. And even if it doesn't get any better than this, this is better than where I started.

Oh, another reason to try it? Apparently, it's good for your vagina and your ovaries and the tubes and other such things you hide up in there.
