Re: Thoughts on Gum Recession

Hi Laura,

Brought tears to my eyes:

"You have to suffer to get to a greater peace, though, and the suffering that comes with voluntarily inhaling cayenne in one nostril can be great!".

If you don't mind, I want to plagiarize that, and add to my The Wisdom of Confucius (The Profound Expanded Version).

So my question is... if you do one nostril, do you have to do the other?

When I was stationed in North Carolina there was this stuff they sold over the counter called Snorting Snuff. You had to do both nostrils. When you snorted one nostril it ripped down the middle of your skull...just one side. You couldn't talk. There was this unimaginable feeling that your brain was lopsided. After the second nostril, and it ripping down the other side, you felt whole again, and could talk.....DA.... WOW.... Ahh.... Geez.... Oooh…. It took a minute or so to get too two syllables. Outside of the ripping affect, and the expanded vocabulary immediately following, it didn't do much else (who knows, maybe I'm just in a state of denial).

Thanks, I needed that.
