I feel like I can truthfully brag (if that's the right word for it) that I get the hiccups far more often than the average human over the age of 2 (babies definitely beat me on this one).
Although I often execute the usual methods of getting rid of the hiccups, such as holding my breathe, drinking lots of water, thinking really really hard about the next upcoming hiccup and some more breathe holding and water drinking, nothing really helps; the hiccups leave when they want to leave just as they came when they wanted to come.
I've found though that no one really seems to be bothered by somebody elses hiccups, in fact, they're often revered as humorously cute. And, I can't deny that I do find ways to be both cute and humorous, so I suppose the hiccups could be counted as a blessing, if they're contributing to my likability.
But when I am awaken from a lovely slumber at 2:23 am with uncontrollable hiccups that refuse to yield, I must say, all cuteness that may have previously existed completely ceases.
This time, the hiccups went too far.

those stinkin hiccups! gotta know-- is this Sabrina or Skylar who gets hiccups?
It's Sabrina, although the author may say it was written by Skylar and Sabrina, that's only because we share an email, but this blog is exclusively Sabrina's.
I get the hiccups a LOT too and I do actually have a great solution: Drink water while plugging your ears (kinda hard to manage so most times Jon plugs my ears for me, but I'm pretty good at holding cups with my teeth now). At least 5 or 6 hard swallows of water with ears firmly plugged works for me every. single. time.
