• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

What are your hiccup cures?

Honestly, I haven't had more than 1 hiccup at a time in decades.

I learned back then that hiccups are an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm. Make them voluntary and they stop immediately.

The way to do this through NLP (or whatever), is to whisper in a person's ear that you'll pay them $20 to hiccup when you snap your fingers and then snap your fingers in front of their face right after. They'll try to force it. That's all it takes. Hiccups cured.

Once you learn to do this, you'll be hiccup free for life.
