Eww yuck, they are eating fish heads on the Travel Channel. Great big ones! It's disgusting.

They just said it is curry fish heads. Yucky. That's really gross looking. He just popped a fish eye in his mouth! YUCK!!

Sorry to hear that David!  I have allergies too.....dust, pollen, animals......so I can sympathize!

I'm still sneezing from it. I got most of it out of the house, but there's still some in here. That was really bad yesterday. Even the DOG was sneezing. It didn't seem to affect Dad though.

Thanks Chuck!   I hope your allergies don't bother you too much this year.

They seem to come and go....I can go for a week or two with no problems, and then suddenly for a 3 day sprurt, itchy eyes, stuffed nosed, scratchy throat.

Then boom!  Gone again as quickly as it came.

Can you not get injections here for allergies. In England around about February you can go to your doctor and get an injection, which pretty well sorts out the hay fever symptoms.
Nigel was very bad out first year in the farmhouse. he sneezed continually and his eyes looked like chopped liver. The following year he went for the injection, bingo no problems at all that summer.
Failing that the older antihistamines tend to work better, Piriton being one, they may make you a bit drowsy but definitely control symptoms better than most of the newer anti histamines.

Talking of sneezing........when I was a kid, someone told me that the reason your eyes always shut when you sneeze, is because if they dont......your eyeballs will fly out of your head.

Now you know that just aint true !!! 
The eyes are connected to the optic nerve. which is firmly attached.
 God, sometimes I even bore myself !!!!
Allergies are caused when the body produces too much histamine, (part of the antibody/antigen response mechanism) yawn, so the cure is an antihistamine which will bind, yawn, with the histamine.
O.K I need a quick 40 winks I have even managed to bore myself !!!!
