Finally responding to Jill’s call for taking the phrase “April Showers Brings May Flowers” and showing what it means to me. In Cincinnati it is a well known fact that if you don’t have allergies when you get here, that you will once you stay for a while. Pollen season is going like gangbusters here already and my eyes are a little itchy.
And don’t forget to vote for the caption cartoon contest.

the showers “cloud” appears to be the colour of phlegm… 😉
Exxxxxxacccctly…hehe
It’s really a strange year, I think Pollen is up like 1,000,000%. Knock on wood my allergies haven’t been horrible yet this year, usually they kick in rough once things start drying up in the Summer, buy my little boys are having a rough year with their allergies.
I always seem to end up with the guy who sneezes upon approaching you, does the one, two wipe on his pants and extends his sneeze covered hand for a shake. I shudder now even thinking about it. My boys have saturated me more than I can count with their sneezes. They catch them sometimes and cover like they’ve been told, but at 4 and 2, it’s hard to remember all the time, and it usually occurs when I’m carrying them or they are trying to tell me something up really close to my face, so I have no time to drop my sneeze guard helmet. 🙂
Haha…I can picture you with the sneeze guard. “Honey I am ready to tuck in the boys”
We have had the worst year for sinus in living memory. It’s probably because of all the lazy assed bees not doing their job…whoops, OK, so they are dying from an evil mite infestation, but should we have to suffer because of it? Geez!
poor little bees 🙁
maybe i should become a bee farmer… beehivest? beeologist? beemater?
It’s NOT the BEES. See below.
what do you have against bees bearman!? as a bearman you should love bees and their pee
Great thought about honey….
same thing goes for Atlanta and we’re covered in yellow right now!!
Thanks for taking the challenge! I’ll go link you up now.
🙂
Thanks Jilly!
I hear if you eat LOCAL raw honey, it should help battle allergies. and I don’t mean Winnie the Pooh whole jar of hunny. but like a tablespoon of honey a day, you just need to make sure it is local honey.
yes i’ve heard this, but it has to be local honey, youre right roland! 🙂
I hear that is a myth. Bee Pollen has nothing to do with the pollen that causes most allergies. That is caused by Ragweed, grass and trees.
hmm..okay if youre gonna make me… i’ll send my brother in law over here. he knows every detail of how local honey is very important for the treatment of allergies. *heavy sigh* oh ye of little faith.. 🙂
I just heard a DOCTOR say it was a myth. Your brother in law a DOCTOR (not a witch doctor) hahahahaha
hmmm lemme see, the DOCTOR wants you to come see him for testing, follow-up, medications etc..healthcare is a business remember? my brother in law isnt much, just an animal science major, self sustanable farmer with emphasis in homeopathic medicine and does daily manual labor at 53 yrs old. but whatever helps you sleep… i’m just sayin’..
I do daily menial labor. Does that count???
i suffer from bad allergies too. ive been tested but didnt react to any allergens. the weird thing is i’m not having problems now when the rest of the country is…weird.. not much pollen here ont he beach but inland they have it pretty bad i hear. cute toon!
No grass on the beach. No real trees in Florida..haha
I am stationed in West Florida right now, and there are trees… let me tell ya… you wash your car one day… the very next day if not that night your car is covered in pollen!
Good reason NOT to wssh your car.
always lookin’ for the easy way out arent you?
You should get out more Lynn ….blahahahahahha
i am, i’m going out tonight loon. what about that wine recommendation? waiting..
Pollen season started early here. Looks like a long showery spring.
It will be a long one.
Hmm Bearman, that’s spit not goobers!!!!
Unfortunately with that guys mouth being open, this pic could capture the middle of the sneeze
I don’t know. I have spit out goobers when sneezing at times.
Multi-tasking Bearman, how gross of you 🙂
I am a busy man.
*laughing*
Ugh, not good to remind a germophobe like me. If I see somebody sneeze dozens of yards down my path, I will still change directions or “dodge” that part of the sidewalk as I move past.
I had a friend who never carried kleenex. He would hold one nostril, lean over and snot out the other one onto the ground. Grossest thing I ever saw.
I dont think we get slag showers more like booger showers from some ppl. My bf gets such bad allergies during winter of all times! the hotter it is the better for him.
What’s a hooker (slag) shower???
hooker? i said Booger 😛
slag u know… as in spit, phlegm etc..
yeah i know slag can also be synonimous with a ho, tart, tricker etc etc
I had to look up slag and hooker was what it said. Didn’t say anything about spit. Unless it is hooker spit.
Sounds similar to STL … there is literally a visible coating of green pollen / dust on EVERYTHING. I do not approve. Neither do my sinuses. 🙂
Sniff Sniff. I love it when you drive and it is almost as thick as fog.
*wheeze*
So on a completely unrelated note, were you really a police officer in your cub days or was that just brilliant banter?! 🙂
What banter are you talking about??
Your comment on Brilliant Boy’s “Street Tweet” ‘toon … 🙂
As a cross guard in elementary school..haha
Britland hayfever season hasn’t kicked in yet and will be delayed by the bad winter holding spring back 3-4 weeks; but then, wehey, snot everywhere, yipee (not).
When is there “good” weather in Britland?
Phlegmatic.
Yummy word.
Already got allergies from spending my entire life in Connecticut, so going to Cincinnati (and experiencing the cockroach that ate it) would be like going to a minor league b-ball game.
Why see a pale imitation when you you’ve already lived the real thing?
Pollen levels in nati are higher than new haven for next week.
I wasn’t allergic to anything until I moved to Kansas, then I became allergic to everything 🙁
Maybe you are just allergic to Kansas.
I think you’re correct.
Aren’t you of the age when you should be moving to florida anyway??
I guess the caption could have read “April flowers bring snot showers.” Sorry, I just couldn’t resist that one.
It was implied but always funny to hear “snot shower”
I was lucky enough to make it out of Cincinnati without any allergies. But you’re dead on – the Ohio Valley is a basin of pollen!
When were you in Cincinnati????
Very nice play on Jill’s contest! I like!
I enjoy Jills contests. Makes me think of how to turn her sweet contest into something gross….haha
I thought the same as Nurse Myra, a very phlegmy cloud. Run away or get a phlegm spray. We had a really bad hay feverish spring last year. We are heading for winter down here & the colds, flu & sniffly season is starting
Swine Flu??
I always cover my nose when someone sneezes. (Quietly tho)
Your nose. You should cover your mouth. It is more likely to get in there.
I was trapped on a plane with about three flus, two colds, and an allergy-prone priest when we traveled to VA. I’m relatively sure that’s why I was sick for almost our entire vacation. I asked the flight attendant to open a window, but nobody ever listens to me. 😀
haha…its a little stuffy in here. Can you crack a window. There’s a man on the wing!!!!
BLEAGH! Like those Spitter dinosaurs from “Jurassic Park”.
Or being slimed in Ghostbusters.
lol.
