LOL Me too. Have done all you mention plus have had both nasal canals bored to make them bigger. That did improve the breathing those some 45 years ago. As have said before from neck up the bone/cartilage has always sucked. Plus hair was never even strong enough to have a decent crew-cut some 70 years ago. LOL Tried to get some sleep last night with toilet paper in nose. And it didn't help peace of mind that the area internet was down for some 7 hours to about 2am. First time that in years. Felt like a baby losing a teat might feel. Uncomfortable.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
