Hey, your right! I do one at a time and clear each out really well. That way all the air pressure works at removing snot and mucus and does not have to have it's air power divided among two nostrils 
And then I hold my nose between my thumb and pointer finger (in a fist kinda way with my pointer folded down) and quickly move my head back and forth so my nose bounces between the two fingers only fully holding one nostril closed at a time very quickly. Then I wipe my nose with a fresh tissue to make sure nothing is hanging out. As you can see I've thought this through thoroughly

As you can see I've thought this through thoroughly When I was a kid a farmer down the road, showed me that I dont need a kleenex to blow my nose. My first try was pretty rough, I had terrible congestion and the raw oysters didnt just shoot to the ground like my farmer friends did. It just kinda hanged there, I didnt want to touch it, but my friend told me to shake my head and as I did it wrapped around my head. I have developed much better skills since.
:yikes: A friend of my husbands, an excellent contractor... air blows...then wipes his nose with a cloth hankie... I guess that saves hankie space...lol
come to think of it one time he left a "hankie" at our house.. I wanted to wash it for him, but I didn't want that with any of my clothes, so I decided to "disenfect it first" so I put it in a scrub bucket with some bleach water.. I guess I let it soak a little long, and it got a hole in it and faded....but I gave it back to him nice and clean, and he didn't even notice

This thread has brought up some points that really gross me out.
I don't care how neat and tidy you are DO NOT blow your nose in a restaurant dining area! Trying to enjoy a meal then someone expelling snot into a rag....That just pisses me off.
and handkerchiefs..What is the point of carrying your discarded mucous around all day then bringing it home for someone else to wash? Little kleenexs laying around is just as bad. If you use a kleenex throw the thing away once you use it (Dont flush them!). Blow your nose in private. Farmer hankies (just blocking a nostril and blowing it is fine) just do it where passers by dont get to see it.

Okay, I have now been sucked in, I should have known better than to look at this thread. opcorn: Pee threads, Poop threads, Vomit threads now booger/snot threads. Yup, right up there with the vomit thread, I have to agree. Does this thread also include eye boogers? I don't think we've had one solely devoted to eye boogers, have we? LOL!
I never understood why my father carried a cloth handkerchief to blow his nose on, bring it home to wash.........Mom would ask me to see if there were any of his handkerchiefs needed to be laundered and to check and see.......answer: You are kidding? Right??? ........ she wasn't........ToscasMom was correct.......subordination, but also "the trickledown effect" CAN apply if one has a younger sibling (my brother), under threat to do it........and he took Dad's hankies down to the laundry.
