I have hiccups.

We've already tried scaring them out of me. Didn't work.

If the hiccups haven't gone yet, drinking water for as long as I can without taking a breath has worked for me.

Hiccups begone!

That usually works for me too! I don't know why I didn't try that! : )

or just hold your breath calmly for as long as possible; that usually does the trick for me. :)

Good plan. I sometimes try taking deep breaths and thinking calm thoughts. : )

Sometimes swallowing a spoonful of sugar helps too.

I'll try that next time!! : )

boo. (did it work this time?)

KO says a slice of lemon with sugar and bitters on it works...you know, for the next time, cause we hope you don't still have them. :D

*hugs*

Yes, I definitely don't still have them : )
*hugs*
I'll have to try the lemon!

Take the deepest breath you can and hold it until you think you'll burst? Eat a spoonful of sugar with a drop of water on it?

Of course, by now they're probably gone. If not, you'll probably want to see a doctor :D

Hee! I wonder what the record is for longest bout of hiccups!
It seems as though I have good suggestions for next time they strike. :D
