|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Sep-06 Location: Melbourne Age: 19 | | | check for respiratory infection etc, he could be trying to clear nasal congestion. or in the worst case it could be neurotic diseases. btw, these are definately not whats most likely wrong with him if anything, just something to remember if the behaviour keeps up. as mentioned above, it could be normal, he may jsut enjoy the perspective but you should still watch him for a while incase anything does develope. pics are pretty funny btw  | |
