Oh Eric, Eric–anyone who can make me laugh outloud after the despair I was feeling after reviewing my debt situation deserves moist nasal passages AND a Subway or lovely home-cooked meal delivered at a neutral location from Sarah. I assume you are even composing these little messages on the fly. These daily updates are as enjoyable to me as Snide Remarks (all enjoyable). I think I need a daily dose of your humor. Keep it coming.

Brain tumors don’t present with nose bleeds. They usually present with headaches or seizures. As for the Vit C theory, unless your vit C levels are so low you have scurvy the nose bleeds aren’t related to Vit C. It’s probably the dry air. Portland is humid, Utah is dry. Use a saline nasal spray or a humidifier at night.

If you’ve been time-traveling and are getting these nose bleeds around the same time…I have some Lost-type bad news for you.

Huh, I know a Barry (he even reads this site), but he’s an accountant, not a terrorist. I guess it could be the same thing…

In the immortal words of Ralph Wigam: “The doctor said I wouldn’t have so many nose bleeds if I kept my finger outta there”.

Is it just me, or does the Burger King man shown in this blog have drool running out of his mouth?

I used to have similar nosebleeds when I lived in Utah. My mission president (a doctor) told me that it was almost always a lack of vitamin C, and recommended I get a fresh source of it every day. Haven’t had one since ’94…whether that did it or not, I don’t know, but it’s worth a shot.

If there’s one thing I learned from 21 Jump Street, it’s that unexpected nose bleeds come from steroid use.

Eric, are you juicing for Sundance?

You should take Sarah up on her offer, that’s sweet.

Or you should go to Beto’s.

Those are two things that I’m thinking.

You know, if you’re getting frequent nose bleeds, I hope someone told you the correct reaction is to tip your head forward, not back, then put pressure on the bridge of your nose. It helps the blood clot faster without it dripping down the back of your throat. The more you know…
