I find that one of the most relaxing relieving things i do especially on a cool frosty morning is to blow my nose, not in a hankie, but with one finger blocking a nostril and then blowing out the blockage in the other nostril, a fantastic feeling of relief provided the wife dont see as if she did i would be put into the doghouse. the fact it is done in a somewhat secret fashion adds to the enjoyment. Inhaling the snots only prolongs the problem.
