Little Things I Wonder About

Okay, a few things I wonder about:

1) When you have a cold, where is all of the snot being produced? Sinuses? The Snot Factory?

2) Do you ever jump when you know someone is calling you right back and then the phone rings?

3) Do you check your cellphone when you hear someone else's ringing in public, just in case yours changed rings on you?

4) Do you greet the postal worker at your mailbox or hide until they are sufficiently far enough away before checking your mail?

5) Do you name people that you see on regular basis on your way to work/school/where ever?

6) Do you ever have visions of beautiful pieces of art in your head, but your skills get in the way of getting the art into the world?

Movie of the Day: Jerry Maguire. That kid could ask questions.

Dr. Nate will field the question on snot: snot comes from your nasal mucosa--that is, the lining of the inside of your nose. Snot, despite being kinda gross, is kind of your friend. It's a response to infection so that bacteria that is trying to get into your lungs will be caught up in snot and then eliminated either because you swallow it into your stomach (where it will be killed by the stomach acid) or eliminated altogether (by blowing or wiping your nose). You always make some snot, but it drastically increases when the body senses there is an infection (like a cold) or if it's "tricked" into thinking there's an infection (allergies).
