    Does this mean I can come and stay with you?? OH BOY! Okay, Jimster, I am packing my things as we speak and will have to have my tubs of lube shipped over later...


    I've been trying out different accents lately, I'm bored with mine so I figure, why not try them all out... My next accent of choice is robotics...

    I breathe through my nose unless I have a bad cold.

    Oh.
    Then I suppose I never learned to breathe properly.

    I also never learned to tie my shoelace properly.
    Umm...Yeah. :leaving:

    yes and no...

    its all about using the diaphragm correctly. if you can expand it properly to draw in oxygen without your shoulder and chest rising, then you should be fine. problems start and continue to be bothersome for lots of people when they raise the shoulders up and down and the chest goes up and down. this can be stopped real quick with learning to breath correctly.

    in day to day activities, i see no need to draw oxygen in with my mouth...i just don't need that much on each breath. a nice slow steady stream from my nose is what works because my diaphragm is drawing the oxygen in...i'm not forcing it in at all...the more i expand it, the more i draw in.

    edit - this goes hand in hand with people who have terrible posture. the body is interconnected like a web...everythign and anythign effects each other

    Nose, people who breathe through their mouth need to get their sinuses checked out. It's not healthy for your Ears, nose and throat.

    Hmm....Probably.

    They thought I'd stop breathing so much through my mouth once they removed my third tonsil, but I cant stop.

    So true, it's just like a car, neglect to fix one bad part and all the parts connected to it will eventually get damaged.
