Hi, welcome to this particular segment,

1. I get boogers in my nose every day. The hard kind. When I use the restroom I see they have been hanging out in my nose for who knows how long. It's worrying. What can I do to fix this problem?

From: Hard Boogers

First of all, that is really disgusting. I imagine you don't get many dates, or have many friends for that matter. Why don't you try being more sociable? You need the sort of friends that are going to let you know you've something nasty hanging out of your nose, not the sort of friends who are going to point and laugh behind your back. One good, honest friend can cut down on your visible boogers by half. On second thought, do like the rest of the normal people in the world and get a friggin hankie. Carry it in your back pocket, use it religiously. Take 30 seconds to wipe your snot nose. End of problem.

2. I love 4thKingdom but simply cannot get along with one member. This member is as irritating as a fly buzzing around your face. I do not want to stop coming here, but what can I do? The member is always flying around my face.

From: Fed Up With The Fly

Let me ask you this - What is it that compels you to click on this particular persons posts? Is it not within your power to NOT CLICK? Seriously, does your obsession with the Fly run so deep that you just can't avoid reading and clinging to their every word? Is the problem here *really* the Fly, or is it your own infatuation? Take a deep breath, slowly back away from the computer, come back when you have a better grip on reality.

In all seriousness, have you considered confronting this person? I don't mean taking it to flames, but a courteous PM explaining what it is about them that irritates you. 4K is all about the spirit of diversity, and it takes all types to make the world go 'round. If you take the time to work out the differences between yourself and other members, it will make the community stronger as a whole. Take the first step, others will be sure to follow.
