Remember the ladies at the salon that kept trying to offer you water? You were like "It's not going to help. Really" But they brought you the water anyway?

Dood. If water worked, you'd have been done NINETEEN WEEKS AGO!!!

I get the hiccups at least once a day, sometimes more than once. I am a hiccip anomaly. Usually a spoon full of sugar works for me...this could be why I'm hyped out of my mind most of the time. :-)

BOO!

(did it work?) I love to scare the holy crap out of my husband when he has the hiccups...it never works, but it sure makes me feel better!

You should ask my hubby James about an article that he just read about this small percentage of the population that has hiccups ALL THE TIME. Their entire life!

There is some kind of thingy that put in your chest that regulates stuff. Like I said, ask James about it.

luckily i don't need a thingy in my chest... my longest bout was twenty weeks, my second longest bout was ten weeks. thank goodness other than that i've been hiccup free.

i get hiccups a lot. not daily, but several times a week. and they're LOUD. it drives my husband batty. we have the same conversation everytime:

him: keep your mouth shut when you do that. it won't be so loud
me: but i ca(hiccup)an't because i never know when it's coming!
him: but after one you should basically know that you'll be hiccuping a good thirty minutes, so shut your mouth after that
me: but sometimes it d(hiccup)oesn't last that long
him: it usually does. keep your mouth shut
me: so you're saying i'm supposed to keep my mouth sh(hiccup)ut the entire time i'm hiccupping? not t(hiccup)alk at all?
him: that's what i'm saying. shut your mouth.
me: but it's harder to bre(hiccup)ath with my mouth shut
him: shut it anyway
me: bu(hiccup)ut i don't really want to.
him: shut it anyway

and on and on. it's like i was breast feeding in public or something.

first of all, i certainly hope you'll breastfeed in public...

second, next time that happens, just tell the mister "imagine how mr. rebecca marie felt when she had them for twenty weeks in a row. with no breaks. ever." maybe that will give him pause.

(i almost said, "maybe that will shut him up," but i decided to be kind)

my teacher just told us a acupressure point on one of the midline meridians that helps stop hiccups . . .
