This has worked for me since I was about 8.

Get a glass (plastic cup might be easier) of water.
Block your ears using your thumbs so you can hold the glass/cup to your mouth.
Drink the water while blocking your ears -- don't breathe!

Do this as long for as you can hold your breath. If you're doing it right, your hiccups will go away -- seriously!! Works for everyone I've shown it to, and I still do it myself!
"Good-bye, Hiccups!" ;-)

Please let me know if you tried it & it worked for you. As I said, I've never seen it NOT work!!
TIP: It's easier if you have a friend there to either block your ears, or hold the cup... but it can definitely be done alone!

You have to reset your breathing. Hold your breath for as long as you possibly can then exhale, and keep holding it. When you have to breath again breath at a steady regular pace with adequate tidal volume. Usually works for me.

Haha! Yea that's it...except im engaged to be married. You're the one hitting on girls over the Internet...and I'm the "loner"!? Whatever you say bro. Why don't you try letting your boys drop, manning up, and go meet a girl the old fashioned way...in real life.

I'm impressed,.. Young boys like you have forgot about being charming..
I'm surprised though.. That ur engaged.. Normally someone being as critical as you without cause has been abused in some way..
My deepest sympathies go out to you AND your future bride.
If you had read or could read .. You would've seen my profile bfore looking silly on your comment...
I've been happily married for 17 yrs, two teen daughters..
My search for a woman ended in 1995..
I suggest you might try cymbalta...
It "could" help you...... Maybe

You would feel bad for me and my fiance huh? First off I feel bad for your wife! How does she feel about the way you hit on young girls online!? Some husband you must be! Just because you're married doesn't mean you're not a loser. Abused...na son...iv probably been with more women than you have had wet dreams about. All of them I met in person. My fiance makes me so happy that I don't need to go out and flirt with anyone else, so if your gonna feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for yourself. And I'm out.

I'm glad you felt the need to brag about all your ladies ;)
And what a man HO u must be..
Bet your mothers proud ..
My wife reads EVERY comment I make...
She was encourage me to be honest, charming and build up people's self esteem..
You seem to on the other hand like to criticize people, brag about how many woman you've screwed ... Your just another reason our divorce rate will "continue" to climb

What kind of world to we live in where an old guy can hit on a young girl over the Internet and it's viewed as an innocent compliment? Gab...you came into this convo a little late to jump to conclusions. Most of the comments were deleted. Even my first one where I jokingly said that the pickup line was cheesy. But that's when I thought spang was a young guy. That would have at least normal teenage behavior. But a grown man throwing pickup lines at a young girl over the net...and im a jerk? What a crazy world this is. And spang...haha! Shoved in lockers!? No...it was quite the opposite. I really enjoyed my high school years. I was just raised to call things line I see them. Anyway, maybe I'm taking this out of context but I just found it very creepy that a married older man would say such things to a younger girl.
Report as
ALL the comments are quite intact here.. They dont delete them..Even the one where he said I quote """ I've been with more women than you had wet dreams about"""
What a articulate boasting of a man that's sees woman as a conquest..
I AGREE Gabgirl .. A jerk indeed
Ty Gabgirl ..
And I'll correct my statement from shoved in a locker to most likely being hung up on a fire extinguisher hook at school..
Out in the open..

That comment was made in Retliation to your comments, but you are right about one thing...for a long time I did see them that way...as a conquest. And it's because of that period in my life that I am able to truly be happy with one women and not have to hit on some random young girl. And not sure how you know so much about what bullies do in highschool...either you had it done to you a lot or you were the one doing it...either way I don't see how it affects this conversation or how it could even be a valid point. Seems to me you like to throw out random assumptions to try and insult people. When, the only thing that is wrong in this entire thread is that an old, married man hitting on a young girl, when all she wanted to know was how to get rid of hiccups. You can insult me all day long, but at the end of the day that's what it is. Sorry man.

I do and will insult a man that presumes to know my intentions without clarification ..
I'm glad you changed.. Bravo
And as for me , an honest admission is that , yes, I was a bully.. 3 black belts bc of a dry alchoholic father that liked to be physical.. My profile alludes to this a "little"
Without God I would've been hopeless...
Once you reach "any" conclusion about something or someone you have in essence stopped ""thinking ""
I suggest next time that you get ALL the facts before you reach your conclusion about the next person you attempt to insult..

I could offer you the same advice. And I'm sorry to hear about your childhood. That sucks. And no matter how much I disagree with you I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Let me ask you this. You have two teen daughters...how would you feel if you stumbled upon a comment like that from an older man on one of their computers?
Report as
Ty... And as to your Depends on the context and intentions of that individual.. Which I WOULD ASK THEM .... POINT BLANK ;)
I have a "keystroke" software program installed on there computers ...
Until there 18... DADDY KNOWS EVERYTHING..
But thank God there 4.5 gpa's
And no trouble.. Yet :-/

Haha! Well for all of our differences, at least we agree on how to raise a daughter! I swear if I have a daughter she will not be allowed to date until she's 30! Ha! For fear that she would meet a guy like me who saw her as a conquest. Good thing my fiance can counter my temper and be my voice of reason. I on the other hand have a shorter fuse. There would be no questions about context, just consequences of actions.

Werd t that!
.. I thought the same about my kids till my daughter became a teen ..ugh...
She has boyfriends from to
time t time :-/ , to prevent world war 3,
And a daughters depression :-/.. DADDY.. Caved in miserably ;)
Also I caved saying that I would NOT watch Barney or Elmo when they were born ... By the time they were 4 I knew ALL THE SONGS :-///
But my oldest and I have an agreement that the ""boyfriends" tour the house and must go into my library/study...
I have all my competition trophy's lined up... So They know her dads not Stable ;))...
I have never had a problem... Yet..
A rough childhood on my own at 16, combined with a degree in theology is a crazy , unbalanced mix of gumbo soup.. :-/
Good luck to you and your future bride... And when kids arrive on the seen..take care of your bride .. She will become a werewolf from Time to time ... Making screaming noises, barking at the moon, and very hostile to mate with during the young years of your children's developement! ;-))

This became something totally different then I expected. And for the both of you, no offense but get over it. I'm no some little teenage girl who climbs ini the first car she sees with a man claiming to have a puppy for me. I'm not dumb nor naive and I don't take it as he wanted to flirt. I take it as a compliment. No more and no less.
Report as
Whether he is 4, 14, or 44. It a compliment and that's all. I wouldve said thanks and that'd be the end of it.
