once upon a time there was a sickness....

last week was a horrible week. i was sick for the majority of it, and when i get sick i usually get really sick. so i was sick with one thing and then got a secondary sickness which required medication that made me feel sick, oh and made my urine a very fun colour with a likeness to orange jello. then taking this medication not only made me feel sick it also created a new sickness. so lets count those that's three confirmed sickness' with the side effect of feeling sick. so i didn't do much last week, nor did i see anyone, but i did get to take a evening off work due to sickness. this week is much better one sickness is completely gone (the seconday sickness), the primary sickness has been minimized to a cough and a bit of flemy goodness... but that third sickness is hanging in there but soon, soon it will be gone. oh and the side effect of feeling sick has weakended to a general hatred of food for about 1 hour after taking medication.

so that is the story of my sickness

yeah, i'm new to this whole computer thing; its all very foreign to me, like i've just moved to another universe that has different laws of physics. and i cant really make heads or tales of these damn websites, but i like helping people, and i always remember my aunt telling me about a news story she saw about this man who had had the hiccups like forever, and i always vowed that when i did get a computer i would try to help him.

and i stumbled onto you site just now and thought i'd try to help. the only thing i ask in return is, since i'm inexperienced and slow still, is, if my cure works on you, --or even if it doesnt, please do your best to pass it along to others like you in the hopes that it might work for them. help me to help hiccupers.

ok, so, i'm very intuitive, you might even call me a genius in some respects, and one time my dad, who was dying at the time, had hiccups he couldnt get rid of, and i just intuitively came up with the cure.
it has worked on me and on everyone i've tried it on every single time. but really i would need to like speak to you on the phone to guide you. i forgot where you live, is it canada?

and also i'm having e-mail issues, and i'm swamped with other problems. ok, lets do this, try me at assure3238@mypacks.net.

i dont know if you'll get me, but if you dont, i'll get back to you, i promise. now, being as clueless as i am, i dont know if this post is going to you privately, or for all to see. because if it goes for all to see, i know i'm going to be inundated with requests for help, and much as i would like to do that, i'm not really at that point yet technologically. i mean, i do have the cure (though maybe it wont work on all of you), i just dont know how to work my computer. believe it or not, i not only have never owned one, i've never even worked on one before. i pledge my help, but please dont flood me because i'm seriously about to have a nervous breakdown.

oh, its me, the anonymous computer-clueless guy again. i didnt mention the other reasons i'm unable to help as much as i'd like to at the moment: my own health has been an utter disaster for the past 11 years, i have terrible murphy's law karma, nothing i try to do works out for me, i have an awful life situation, etc, etc.

i didnt realize there were so many hiccup people. i know my cure will help at least a good number of you, but seriously, each of you is going to have to help me spread the word. i cant do it on my own.

is there an e-mail that i can reach you at privately? if you cant get through to me, post it on the site maybe...

ok, for all you smartypants hiccupers out there who are wondering, if i'm so intuitive why cant i figure out my computer? i'm not intuitive about everything. and i'm terrible at technology. but seriously, my hiccup cure is really good. and i'll gladly share it for free. maybe i can get some computer pointers in return. i sympathize with all of you because my own health is this nightmarish rubiks cube which i myself cant seem to solve. and i'm so tired of it i could cry. anyway, dont get me started...

my name is smith. i live in orlando, florida.
and i'm very anxious to help. like i said, it would be better if i could speak to you on the phone to guide you in the technique, but i dont know how to make that happen without revealing my phone number to like a million people. i feel like such an idiot; i can barely navigate these sites, let alone get a handle on how things are done. any thoughts as to how we can speak on the phone? i mean, i guess i could write down the technique, but i think it would be alot better if we spoke. please respond.

alright. i'm so anxious to help, that i'm just going to write it down.

first, try to relax. you're going to be doing a little breathing thing, but in a very specific way.

make like a little 'o-ring' with your lips, small, but not too tiny. it should be just big enough to make
what i will tell you to do next relatively comfortable.

--oh, your lips should be sortof extended out, like in a 'kissy-face' thing.

make the o-ring.

now you're going to breath in through the narrow opening almost as though you were whistling in reverse. do this slowly, but not exceedingly slowly.

--see, i wish i could do like a podcast, so you could all see it exactly and so you could get the timing of it right, but i guess you'll just have to experiment. let your intuition guide you, and if it doesnt work the first time, try adjusting the size of the o-ring and the timing of the inhaling/exhaling. do what feels right.

ok, so inhale (rather, suck air in) slowly and homogenously through the kissy-face o-ring. as you do this, you're going to be making kindof like a little hissing sound.
(not really hissing but like a 'blowing in reverse' sound.)

inhale all the way as far as you can
and then hold it for like about 3 seconds.

then do the reverse: blow it out through the o-ring in the same manner you went in until all the air is out of you.

immediately start the inhale again.

(--after about two seconds.)

do this three times in a row.

thats it.

you have no idea how i hope this works for every last one of you.

please, let me know if it does...

--and by all means feel free to shower me with gratitude and adulation.

i'm very unappreciated and i need your love.

good luck.

i'll say it again without all the extra words:

1) relax in the exhaled mode.

2) make kissy-face o-ring.

3) suck air in slowly and homogenously as though you were whistling in reverse. all the way in, and hold for about three seconds.

4) blow out in the same way until
completely exhaled. hold for about two seconds.

repeat three times.

ok then, i'll keep my fingers crossed, and will look forward to hearing from you.

i hope you will all be released from your hell.

where is everyone? i cant wait to hear your comments.

i know this isnt my website, and i really dont want to hog it, i just want to know if my technique worked on anyone, and/or if you have any questions about it.

it would feel really good to know i've helped.
