[quote] If this doesn't do the trick, and you're still hesitant to move to surgery, no one would fault you for asking your doc for a leukotriene inhibitor (like Singulair). There's not great evidence in the literature, but anecdotally it does pretty well in helping to control a chronic sinusitis-li...

They can take over a year and a half to work (and sometimes longer in some patients). See if your doctor offers rush or cluster immunotherapy and consider whether or not it's for you. Imo, most cases can be managed fairly well with a combo of an antihistamine, nasal steroid (ideally Dymista if y...

Allergy shots (they can take a long time to work, sometimes more than 1.5 years, ask about an accelerated schedule), Zyrtec/Claritin/Allegra, and flonase/nasacort/nasonex/dymista (dymista also contains an antihistamine so if it's cost prohibitive you can get astepro and flonase separately). Throw in...
[quote] Gun homicides have been going down since the Brady Bill was passed. Go figure. [/quote] You do realize correlation does not equal causation, right? [quote] Context In February 1994, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act established a nationwide requirement that licensed firearms...
Bunk. [quote] Two former high-profile members of President Obama's cabinet are reassuring the public that hydraulic fracturing —fracking — is a safe technology for extracting oil and natural gas. "This is something you can do in a safe way,” former Secretary of Energy Steven Chu said while sp...
The Courts don't usually like to mess with settled case law. And thanks to the McDonald and Heller cases, the individual right to bear arms isn't going anywhere unless the second amendment is altered or something of the sort. [quote] I love when liberals say "What good is your gun going to do ag...
[quote]I will say one thing, if gun control wasn't going to happen after Sandy Hook its dead for at least a generation[/quote] It will take at least two generations. A poll came out fairly recently that said younger Americans back the right to own "assault weapons" by a large majority. [quote]...
Modern defensive ammunition has greatly improved the effectiveness of pistol rounds and has decreased the performance gap between rounds. Assuming all things are equal, .45 is still going to display better ballistics with the same bullet design. However, the difference is not nearly as significan...
How do you know she was on the opposite side of the door? Maybe I missed something, but I would imagine he knew where his wife was and wasn't shooting in that direction....
It has happened plenty of times and it will happen again. People get mistaken for people all the time, maybe they thought he was someone stepping on their trade. It happens. I mean, a dude randomly shot up an elementary school over a year ago. And yeah, great idea. Put his family in the mid...
And if he used "better judgment" that night in a different scenario (a rapist/murderer or 20 year old with a gun and intent to burglarize), he and his family could have been seriously harmed or dead. You don't know the kid's intentions at the time, especially when your family is on the line. So w...
[quote] About 15 years ago, a guy shot a car burglar in Carrolton or the Riverbend area. Nobody had driveways in the neighborhood, so everyone parked on the street. The guy lived on a corner and his car was parked on the side street. He got up during the night to piss, looked out the bathroom windo...
[quote] I'd say that there's about zero chance of Landry being convicted of 2nd Degree Attempted Murder, IF this ever goes to trial. I thought he was overcharged from the start. As far Coulter's "intent" is concerned, it's a pretty big logic leap to see someone in your driveway/courtyard by you...
I would think so as well. Meant to put something along those lines in the post above. He certainly had every right to be there....
Certainly. I wasn't disagreeing with the first bit if you got that impression. I just think if the kid was a 20 year old it probably wouldn't have even gone to trial, especially with less public pressure. The going outside and by doing so escalating the situation shouldn't make a difference, alth...
[quote] If Coulter had been pulling on the door to the house when Landry shot him, Landry wouldn't be having all these problems. I think the main issue is that the kid WASN'T breaking into the house and Landry's self-defense story isn't airtight. [/quote] And that the kid was 14 and unarmed. ...
That's quite rich coming from you....
[quote] I didnt say he needed to give him a heads up. I said he more than likely didn't. [/quote] hurr... durr... [quote] I was just making the point that even if [b]what you think happened (he snuck up on the kid and didn't give him a friendly heads up) actually happened[/b], he's still p...
