bad advice actually you want to tilt your head forward otherwise you can drown in your own blood, Advice from someone who has had a life long history of massive nosebleeds (literally anime level to the point of anemia) Ive had my nose cauterized 3 different times (once when I was LITTLE like 3-4 years old they had to knock me out for that one… ) once when I was 10 (they used electricity for this one and had to twilight anesthetize me ) and The last time was January 15 1991. I know because it was the start of the air campaign in the first gulf war, and the smell of your own skin INSIDE your nose burning from Silver Nitrate is one of those things you NEVER forget. (this one they left me awake for and used an 8-10 inch long over sized qtip) WAYYYYY up in my nose to get the blood vessels that had grown to close to the surface again.
joecrouse – I can empathize, having gone through the same thing in my teens & early 20s (so much blood loss one time that management actually shut down the construction site to take roll call to make sure one of the workers hadn’t bled out and died in some corner). Cauterization was a temporary fix at best.
Your issue may be different, but it my case the nosebleeds were caused by a seriously deviated septum, with a full S curve inside the upper nose & lower sinuses. Got reconstructive rhinoplasty surgery at age 28 and haven’t had a serious nosebleed since, which has been almost 30 years now. Granted, having my nose broken in 4 places to straighten it out wasn’t fun, but the end result was worth it. Not to mention I can breathe a lot better now…
May not have anything to do with your situation but this defect went undiagnosed in my case by several doctors over the years so your providers may not have caught a similar issue.
Thx for the info, Joe. I have to sometimes remember that my 20th Century base of Introductory knowledge can be both behind and in advance of the best way…
I *do* have a daughter and sending her to a college that has a maritime military component has unfortunately contributed. She’s better at swearing than me now.
I know one lady (no longer young, but neither am I) who was a truckdriver for the navy . . . and is now a logger . . . in fact, she owns the company!
When she comments that someone has a dirty mouth, all the knowledgeable people in earshot hush the pottymouth!
Understand that to be considered fluent by loggers you must be able to swear loudly and fluently for thirty minutes straight without repeating yourself!
I’ll volunteer for that job.
Digging up, cleaning, and selling the fused sand clods left behind at the bottom of the craters should be quite profitable.
I hope that’s not a butterfly cage!
It looks more like a volleyball to me. I’d bet she’s got a real killer of a “spike” maneuver…
Umm, think this is not going to end well. 😄😀
“Gosh, you’re pretty! And strong, too!” said the nice para freshman looking up from the sand.
Her first boyfriend is gonna be *very* happy. And possibly very bruised.

Gives a whole ‘nother meaning to ‘Playin’ with the boys’ . . .
“I feel the need. The need… for medical attention.”
If she’s playing dodgeball, she lends a new level to the phrase, “Dodge or die.”
“Keep… Keep your head tilted back. The bleeding will stop in a little bit…”.

…Why is it that when I see this pic, the Imperial March starts playing in my head?…..
Plot twist: that’s not a vollyball. It’s a rock carved to look like one. You can tell by that grin and the look in her eye.
She’s got a pretty good body for an unpotted plant.
If I ever have a Daughter, I hope she turns out this cute (w/o the foul mouth, of course…)
if I ever have a daughter she will have the foul mouth too. I mean F*** isn’t even a word anymore in my vocabulary its more like a comma.

I hope someone’s standing by to repair the impact craters she’s going to cause when she spikes that ball.
I’ll volunteer for that job.

If she actually spikes that ball as hard as she can… she’ll just shred the ball at the instant her hand hits it.
RIGHT down your throat, sucker!
It’s Monica’s island, so the least durable folks there are likely to be Lily and Suzi…
So who’s “Maverick?”
Shame on you, three years later (for your comment), seven years laters (for this comic), and three decades later for the reference …
The first Top Gun movie, back in the nineties, the beach volley scene, that’s “Iceman” line AND pose (but with much more power and cuteness).
Isn’t there a song about this moment???
“In tim i dation.
In tim i da aa tion.
It’s making ’em sweat……”
