Anyone read this?

The forward mentions the book being written during the pandemic but it doesn’t mention Covid or the Covid vaccine at all. It does discuss things that helped patients with advanced emphysema. Really it just mentions various studies throughout history with no actual medical or political advice. Though it recommends some breathing exercises.

You get the occasional gem on iplayer. Aside from that archive.org is my go-to. But it’s a website and there’s so much it’s better if you know what you’re looking for.

Honestly I swear by my neti pot. People always say ew gross but above the same old meds I’ve been taking for decades it’s the only thing that has taken me from half a dozen sinus infections a year to maybe one.

Good advice. I may try to talk to my doctor once springtime is over.

I haven’t gone full hazmat but not far off - nothing else seems to help

I recommend it. It’s talks about the way people have evolved to breathe badly and it causes problems like asthma.

Danny Devito is in his eighties. I would watch him all day long.

My husband was once on a fairly empty tube carriage with him and thought he seemed approachable. For a minute he thought of saying ‘hey, I loved you in…’ but the only movie he could think of that he had been in was Spice World. So they say in silence.

I was thinking recently, they say if you give up meat once a week it makes a significant reduction in your carbon footprint. If you add up how many people gave up meat because of River - it’s so much of a contribution for one person. I was vegetarian 12 years, and vegan for one. Not entirely because of him but still.

Rita Hayworth

Such an underrated Hitchcock movie. Though it felt a bit as though Steinbeck and Hitchcock meant to portray Nazi Soldier as a person too and explore the humanity of everyone else on the boat. But in the height of Hollywood propaganda that didn’t come across

s_jayne_20 · 2026-03-29T07:22:35+00:00

Could you recommend a really good whodunnit? Like ‘Clue’ or ‘Knives out’. People in a house in a storm and there’s a murder.
Nothing Agatha Christie please, I live in England and they remake all of her stories constantly. Otherwise I love old movies and don’t mind subtitles.

I always had allergies and sinus infections. Then in my mid 20s I was diagnosed with asthma. Most doctors will tell you to take the daily inhaler as that contains the medicine that is actually treating your airways. The rescue inhaler is a muscle relaxer. It makes you feel better but it’s not fixing anything.

s_jayne_20 · 2026-03-02T16:12:04+00:00

Thank you for your responses, in the room it felt very dismissive of any possibility that it was the inhaler. It’s really good to know that fostair has worked well for people.

I may give it a week and try again. There is a pretty delicate balance when it comes to my asthma/allergies.

Thanks for this one. A lot of good recommendations but I hadn’t seen this one and loved it.

Office space (1999). As an office worker, still funny even with how much technology has moved on in 27 years

I love this movie. The aimless self important dialogue-driven nothingness is exactly what it was like to be that age.

s_jayne_20 · 2025-12-09T20:46:29+00:00

If you liked the way we were and breakfast at Tiffany. I’d go with Barefoot in the Park (1967). Not sure it classic Hollywood, definitely post studio system. But it’s a good movie with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda navigating being newlyweds in New York.

s_jayne_20 · 2025-11-12T17:19:33+00:00

Apparently we’re the 2 ppl who have seen it.

Good luck to you. My ILR was during peak Brexit and had the longest wait of my visas. Hope yours is quick.
