We get cold in NH, though not as cold as in Russia, and I find that when I go outside on one of those bitingly-freezing days and breathe through my mouth, I immediately start to cough. I've always taken that as a warning and remembered to breathe through my nose, but I could see getting sick from it. Giving that bitter air a direct line to my lungs doesn't seem so wise. My nose is designed to warm and moisten the air anyway, so I'd just as soon use it the way God intended. :)Angelalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724001420947723633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-26944477601770061282010-12-14T01:08:55.217+03:002010-12-14T01:08:55.217+03:00Thanks for the link, Jessica! :) It's pretty f...Thanks for the link, Jessica! :) It's pretty funny and I can't believe I'm watching cartoons at 1am!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-52393481707154460882010-12-11T18:22:15.112+03:002010-12-11T18:22:15.112+03:00Also, if you don't have your coat buttoned all...Also, if you don't have your coat buttoned all the way or are not otherwise sufficiently bundled up (for a kid this means that you cannot move, like the kid in A Christmas Story), you will get sick. Or if you're near a cross-draft. Or if you sit on concrete, your insides will catch cold and you will become infertile. Or if you drink cold water or a drink with ice, you'll get sick.<br />If you do all of these at once, man, you're DOOMED!<br /><br />I stopped by to post this youtube video....reminds me of your residency permit saga....<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5kwSap9UgJessica W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13346907257802513699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-85261233662580762822010-12-11T01:53:06.372+03:002010-12-11T01:53:06.372+03:00Yeah you hear alot of "stories" about wh...Yeah you hear alot of "stories" about what NOT to do while pregnant.
