this Missouri weather

This weather we have been having recently in Missouri is really playing havoc on everyone's immune system. Mine in particular. The congestion in my sinuses is putting pressure on my ears which in turn is messing with my equilibrium. I get dizzy just sitting still in my chair. Today started at about the high temperature for the day and has been steadily dropping all day. The wind has picked up too. It is supposed to be around 19 F tonight. That makes it hard for this little 100 year old house to hold it's heat. It is not so bad when it is not very blustery, but when the wind blows so does the heat in the house.

I have missed 2 days of work because of this dang cold. I can not miss anymore. I am going to have to tough it up and go to work tomorrow. Fortunately I know that my current boss is understanding about not having much energy when one is sick.

I wish we could just skip winter and go straight to spring.

Well, that's good, you have an understanding boss. The weather here in NY goes from mild to freezing, and back. Not good, either. Feel better!

this is weird. i've lived all over and the worst sinus problems and headaches developed in missouri. soon as as i left, they didn't disappear but lessened considerably. i'm sorry you're feeling so terrible. there is an herbal tincture that i swear by (i'm vulnerable to respiratory ailments including sinus discomfort) and they have a Web site so if you're interested, i can point you toward it. take good care.

whoops, hit send too soon. know anyone named bruce? ;)

I lived in the KC area for years. We go back every couple of years to visit my brother. What part of Missouri are you from?

[this is good]

Missouri? I thought you lived in Michigan. I mean isn't that where they make cars? Last year weren't you building cars or something? I mean when you're not building baseball stadiums...

Oh, I guess I should comment on the important stuff. I'm sorry you've a cold. Hope you get better. I mean hope you get better than a cold. Well, I hope you don't get as good as the flu, but you know, gooder than you are feeling now. :-)

: ) Thanks Raymond I am slowly getting better. I did work in a car plant but it was here in Missouri. There used to be 3 working car plants, but Ford closed the one in the greater St. Louis area, so now only 2

Yeah I know I probably would have less sinus problems if I moved out of the state, but I would have to move far enough that I did experience all of the seasons that I experience here. I actually like have some of all for season. I am used to the cold/sinus problems and just deal with them the best way I can for myself to recover quickly. I would appreciate it very much if you would send me that website address you are talking about so that I may check it out. PM it to me so I can keep better track of it and not loose track of it in all the comments.

i totally understand about the four seasons, i'm that way as well. you may not need to go far for relief, in my albeit limited experience, whatever was in the air that caused the sinus probs was missouri-specific, soon as i left, they cleared up in a big way. i'll pm with the link.

Where is half way between St.Louis and Columbia? I live about 60 miles north of St. Louis.

It takes us about an hour to get to the airport, too. What city, if I may ask? Our mailing address is Bowling Green, but we live 17 miles south of town and work and shop in Troy.
