I’m glad she found a solution. She needs to keep shopping around though. Eventually, her body will build a tolerance for this new medicine, or the prolonged use will cause other digestive problems. Having at least two choices would be good. We take so much for granted, that our bodies will keep working normally. I’m sure it felt bad being stared at due to hiccups.

On November 7th, she was told Hillary!® was absolutely, positively, without doubt going to be President of the United States.

It scared her so badly she stopped hiccupping.

What the hell is that massive blob that's washed up in the Philippines? ‘I took barbiturates and Lortabs (an opiate of acetaminophen and hydrocodone),’ she said. ‘I was addicted to them and would doctor-hop and pharmacy-hop to get them.

I love the smell of non-sequiturs in the morning.

Simple way to cure hiccups....
Put paper bag over head.
Tear hole where mouth is.
Lay on grassy hill.
Roll down hill.
Every time mouth passes grass take bite.

Bottom of hill hiccups gone
