Hiccups are annoying—especially so when they hang around for five, 10 or 30 minutes or more. They are due to an irritation of the vagus nerve, which runs from your brain to your stomach. It can cause your diaphragm to contract and periodically close your esophagus.
Here are some cures, listed in the September ’11 Reader’s Digest:
- Suck on a lemon wedge. The sour sensation should do the anti-hic trick.
- Put your hands over your ears. That may calm the nerve endings and stop the hiccups.
- Chug a glass of warm water. That may soothe your diaphragm and stop the contractions.
- Gargle with ice-cold water. That can shock the hiccups into submission.
- Eat a teaspoon of sugar. Swallowing something sweet can change your breathing rhythm.

Glitter Jars
Making a glitter jar. You will need:
- 1 jar or bottle (with lid/cap)
- 1/10 vegetable oil
- 9/10 water
- lots of glitter
- food coloring
Add the water and vegetable oil together. Add a few drops of food coloring and all of the glitter. Put the lid/cap on (tight!) and shake it.
When you want to harm or feel stressed, shake the glitter jar and watch until the glitter is settled. It’ll calm you and hopefully the emotion will pass.
It sucks when you get on tumblr, upset, and then everything just makes you more upset. I just wanna go to sleep. Too bad my mom thinks that everybody is deaf and does everything so loud.

Man, my dad is such an ass hole. I almost wish we didn’t talk at all, because I wouldn’t be half as upset as I am now.
“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.”
