I still get to choking on it like a lot in here do but heck, we are alive . I hate that mucous too, but have to put up with it. Everyonce in awhile, I might get to coughing pretty hard from the mucous and get lucky. Not nice to say but a big gob will come out like a bullet and ease it up. Been lucky so far and it hasn't landed anywhere off limits LOL like on someone, Got ya in my prayers julieann
