How to Cut an Onion Without Crying

I usually buy sweet onions - vidalias if they're available.  Those don't cause the irritation in the eyes or sinuses when cut so I usually don't have this problem.  Sometimes that isn't an option.  I asked around and got some feedback.
One person suggested running water over them and always start cutting from the root side.
I got another suggestion to use sweet onions if possible and use a ceramic knife to cut them with.  They cut smoothly and cut without throwing juice all over.
I hope this helps.  Got any other ideas, let me know.

My Clogged Shower

I recently came home one night to find I had a clogged shower.  The water from my previous night's shower didn't drain at all.  It had been slow to drain for quite some time but this time it just stopped draining altogether.  I had no Drano or Liquid Plumber and plunging didn't work.  Probably just as well since those have some very harsh chemicals in them.  I decided to try something different.  I did have something I purchased from Shaklee called Nature Bright.  Nature Bright is actually for laundry but since it's for serious stains and uses enzymes to break them up, I decided to try some of that down the drain.  I noticed that just as soon as I dumped some down the drain, it started foaming.  I left it over night.  The next morning, I saw that the water had gone down a little.  I added some more and then went to work for the day.  When I got home that night I found the the water had gone down even more.  I ran the water and found that it still drained very slowly.  I added some more Nature Bright and let it sit for a few more hours.  Then I did a little plunging and that removed the clog.  Then shower has been draining freely since.  One really cool thing about Nature Bright is that if you get some on you, it won't hurt you - not the case with Drano or Liquid Plumber.  Based on past experiences with the store bought de-cloggers, is that they often don't work immediately so I've had to wait for a long time sometimes overnight or longer for them to work. Plunging after using  a store bought de-clogger isn't a good idea.  Here's further evidence that things don't have to be toxic to work.
I don't mean to single out Drano and Liquid Plumber.  I don't believe they are any worse then most any other store bought de-cloggers.
Please let me know if you are interested in making $2000 or more per month.  I could show you how with just 20 minutes of your time.
