Like many here, I'm very sorry you've had to go through this, and I'm happy you discovered a way to lessen the problem. I hope you feel better very soon.
Why aren't you allowed to cluster balloon?
Viable Paradise is the kind of deeply embedded education that continues to seep through one's pores years later, revealing fresh lessons and insights.
Only not so gross as that.
Seriously, an immensely valuable experience.
Wow. And suddenly Kirkus makes me think kindly of Harriet Klausner.
I modified the prefs.js file in Firefox as Jim suggested, and it seems to have done the trick. This goes far beyond removing a minor annoyance from my daily environment. Reducing my exposure to a migraine trigger ... Wow. Thank you.

Feel better, and have fun on the island.
