That sinus cold went around Grand Rapids, MI too (at least as far as I could tell we all got it. Or at least the cool programmers and geeks got it). Unfortunately, it also coincided with a big family wedding for us. Out of desperation we tried nearly every suggestion given to us. The one that worked best? A Neti Pot. Weird. Bizarre. An almost-photographed-for-the-humor-of-it sort of remedy. But it worked. Like magic. Go to Walgreens. Buy the little blue Neti Pot. Laugh. Do it. Feel instantly better.
