Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What happened was, the nurse put stuff in my ears, and then cotton balls, and then I read a Time magazine from before the election, and so, that was depressing.

And then the nurse called me back in and took a big syringe filled with hot water and SHOT IT INTO MY EAR.

And then she said, "Allyson, this thing has legs."

And there was this HUGE BALL OF WAX the size of a Jelly Belly. In fact, it looked like a Popcorn flavored Jelly Belly.

And then the same thing to the other ear. I was apparently blocked in both ears, because as soon as the water came out, everything became VERY LOUD.

And so, that's the story of my earwax. She told me to stop pushing Q-tips so far in my ear.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Farting starts being HIL-arious around 18 months, from what I understand.

Owen actually let out a huge burp, then a fart one day. They were both so loud he started giggling. This at 8 months. He must be a prodigy. DH was so proud.

I gotta tell you though, farting 2 year olds? Who then start making gagging noises and giggling and flee the room? Are pretty damned funny.

I can hardly wait.

What about farting cats sara? When do they get funny?

About the same time BOTH my farting dogs do.

Something I've never understood about that - is it generally difficult for people to restrain themselves until they're alone or in a restroom, or is it that most people don't bother?

why is Marissa at Alex's house? I mean, besides Big Ole Plot Contrivance?

EW! But yay easy fix! Now stopping gestating jellybellies in your head. Zeus was the one supposed to do that. Or something like.

Farting cats just smell and then run away as if their tail was aflame. (I've got one.)

Probably would be funny to the boys, though.

I think it even says it on the Q-tip box. "Do not insert in ear."

Also, they do make earwax flavored jellybeans. Damn that Bertie Bott.

Congratulations on your genius farter, Cash!

Probably a little of both. Not around his family, my brother tries to be more couth, but..... And two year olds are still working on couth as a concept.

The army drs figured there is something gross but harmless in my brother's gut (SIL made him go while they were still dating) that makes his farts most toxic. Of course, they are the ones who treated his bleeding ulcer with a bottle of liquid lidocaine.

One of my cats particularly likes to fart while she's sleeping in my arms. Purring away, happy as a clam, choking me. And man, they could use what comes out of her in weapons. It's noxious.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Nora, they took Lindsay there to take care of her. And then Marissa stayed because she hates her parents and didn't want to go home. And there was an old horror movie on. And cause now she likes girls.

Team her up with pre-diagnosed Mister Kitty and they could have been a noxious crime fighting team. He was peeing outside the box and I discovered the hard way that if you pick up a peeing boycat, they keep peeing. You can aim them!
