POWER TIP: HICCUPS NO MORE

Lots of people have advice on how to get rid of hiccups.  Most of it doesn’t work.  Here’s how to get rid of those little buggers fast.  Take a long, deep breath in through the nose and completely fill up your lungs.  Hold your breath for as long as you can—literally, until you can’t hold it anymore.  Exhale VERY slowly, through a very small hole in your lips, until all the air is out of your lungs.  It may take a little practice, but this should take care of those hiccups in a few seconds flat. 

Money isn’t everything but it ranks right up there with oxygen.
