The following is not for people who don&#8217;t like blood.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This morning I woke up kind of early and slipped out to the couch to check email and skim some news before grabbing my morning coffee.  While reading my the news I felt something on my nose and rubbed my hand across it and felt something wet. Glancing at my hand there was what seemed like tons of blood.  In a state of slight panic I grabbed some napkins that were sitting by me.  Unfortunately, they really didn&#8217;t do much because it was just dripping continuously.  I quickly ran to the bathroom and grabbed some tissues and pinched my nose closed.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve had to deal with a nosebleed in, like, I dunno years? decades? I really wasn&#8217;t sure what the proper way to deal with one was.  Once again, the net comes to the rescue.
