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.
Been there, done that, we should have t-shirts. I still don't understand how it got OUT, because it is not a flexible hole. Maybe that's why it took about 3 shots of the syringe. Weird thing is, I wasn't not hearing, but after the fact I realized those odd, echoey clicks I'd been hearing for months that I was worried might be tinitus were probably sound trying to get through the BIG, HONKING HUNK OF GUNK.
I haven't used q-tips since. Ear drops - that's the key, even if they are a pain (given you have to leave them in for a period on each side) and viscous.
I share ita's ear irrigation love. It's a wonderful feeling that I cannot duplicate at home.
Airports. Too long since I've been in any but MSY or OAK to comment. Oh, the train thingy between terminals at Dallas is nifty.
Unless you are going to the commuter line terminal. Then it is train and then bus and they are rarely coordinated and often overstuffed.
There are terminals beyond the train? Perhaps the new transit thingy that I read all the info on while I waited will solve that problem. I thought I would never forget the details,but alas, I cannot even remember the name, Coming in 2005, that's all I know.
Mo' Bay has the liquor. Dem Canadiens got dem White Hats.
What has the rest of the world got for the
outgoing
people? Rocking chairs.
Because the arriving people are now old, and need them.
My info is circa 2004, travelling to Killeen, so ... But the commuter terminal is waaay out there. Buses. It wasn't really that bad, except for the overcrowding with perfumed old ladies with too much luggage.
Charlotte has rocking chairs.
Boston has this amazingly unbelievably cool machine with balls that go up and roll down little slopes. It actually made me happy once. Happy when I was travelling by air with a baby. Now that's an achievement.

This breed is not dead. There is woman here, three rows away, who I think buys Channel by the litre.
Thank God all poodles have to fly separately. I am sure she owns a yap-dog.
Hmmm. May need to rethink my post-shower Q-tip strategy, even though it is satisfying. I'm glad Allyson can hear again.
Here's a curious thing I just noticed. I got an Gmail account a while back, and I use it as my main e-mail address now. Once the invites started losing their rarity and charm so that no one else wanted them, I created a couple of dummy accounts for myself to use when ordering online and like that.
I just checked one of the accounts, and the spam folder was chock full of spam. So I checked the other dummy account, which I've never used. Same thing. But in my original account? Nothing spammy. What do you suppose changed between openning the first account and then openning the other two?
Also, the Gmail spam filter, which I didn't do a thing to set up, works quite well.
Newsflash apparently Spongebob has been outed and is part of a dangerous plot of tolerence.
