Yes, she did. But what she conveniently failed to mention was that we played pool afterwards. I cleaned up. 
Oh and I got to hear about the blood thing first hand. Fun. Glad you’re doing better there, Meanie.
I used to get nosebleeds all the time as a child. i wouldn’t tilt my head ina ny particular direction, but just use a kleenex and pinch my nose hard to stem the flow.
When I got a little older, one summer I was having constant nosebleeds, so I was prescribed a little bottle of saline solution that I could spray into my nose to keep the lining moist and supple.
So, tell us- was there any blood?
I get them occasionally. I work in a climate controlled (read:: ass freezingly cold:: ) server room with zero humidity. I keep kleenex handy, and the bathroom is nearby. I just lean over the sink for a couple of minutes and let the faucet run to wash away the blood. Forget about tilting my head back, I’m practically gagging just thinking about it. I’ve never had one last more than 5 minutes though. A humidifier worked wonders for me at home, especially during the winters. Hot and dry doesn’t seem to bother me as bad as cold and dry.
A trip to the Dr. might not be a bad idea, if for nothing more than to ease your mind.
Heh, oh yes, I managed to omit that minor detail about QED slaughtering me at Y! pool. Silly me.
Amanita, I’m fairly certain it’s because it was REALLY damn hot yesterday. It’s a miracle I didn’t melt.
And DrDeth, just a little. 
Btw, would that happen to be San Jose, CA by any chance?
Yes, indeed. We have blood here, too.
I had a girl get a bloody nose all over me during sex once. She was on top, it was dark, and I felt a few drops of fluid drip onto my forehead. At first I thought it was sweat… we had been going hard and long… but then it was like I was in a fucking slasher flick! I was covered in blood, my sheets were drenched in it… it was terrible.
All in all, the worst lay I ever had.
So MeanOldLady, it could have been worse. You could have been the towel for someone else!
Ewwwww, shudder that would freak me out! :eek:
This morning at work a student at the college passed out in one of the hallways.
He did a face-first fall like a tree into the floor and broke his fall with his nose.
He also broke his nose with the floor.
The pool of blood left behind looked like someone had been beaten to death there.
The student was taken to the hospital due to the fact that he was not conscious, but is expected to be fine.
But, I have to scream at the stupidity of the college employee who insisted she could not wait for some gloves to be brought from the medical lab and cleaned up the blood. Hey, dumbass, it wasn’t your blood. You do not know what was in there.
My mom’s an RN working at Disneyland. They get nosebleeds all the time from little kids running into lamp posts and such.
Standard Operating Disneyland RN Procedure is to tilt back the head, pinch the bridge of the nose hard for ten minutes, and apply ice just above that. Works like a charm.
If it’s from dry nostrils - which happens to me living out here in the desert - you can buy sterile saline nose spray that moisturizes everything and makes it all happy.
Anax and catsix, :eek: and :eek: again!
Yeah, phouka, I figured it was from dry nostrils. It was just odd because I’ve never had one before. Blood spewing out of my face proved to be most unpleasant. Growing up in L.A., kids were getting nose bleeds every 5 seconds, and I somehow managed to avoid them. 'Til yesterday, that is.
