> I think you all are taking that nosebleed thing a little too lightly. Medical science can fix stuff like that. WMM had that problem when she was 20. The doctor removed a tiny little vein from her snoot and she has had no problems since. (She's at least 39 now.) They probably have methods now that are easy to do and completely painless. It was no big deal in 1956.

I had my nose cauterized as a kid, and that worked for a few years, but for some reason it's like I never had that done, now. I know of other procedures that can be done, including the injection of a cocaine-derivative in the nasal membranes, which cause the blood vessels to constrict and close off. I've been meaning to go in and see what they can do for me for some years now. Thing is, when I'm not actively in the process of bleeding, it seems like such a hassle to go do that. Then when I get a big one, I get all frustrated that I haven't yet.

Besides, if I had a procedure done, Grishny would win.
