"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh man, that's some trauma to put a kid through. I had a warm water syringe flush from a nurse years ago, and it was...disconcerting. Also, the size of the wax ball that came out didn't look like it should have been able to come out.

I think Allyson had a similar experience last year, and it happened to me many years ago as well. (Just one ear though, but....yeuch.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

ita is Teh Awesome, but I think this comes as no surprise. I remain impressed, though.

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

Yeah, I periodically go completely deaf in one ear, but last time, it was both, like being underwater almost.

It bothers.

It's only happened to me once, but I went deaf under similar circumstances in one ear when I was about 20.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had a warm water syringe flush from a nurse years ago, and it was...disconcerting.

I thought it was fun. (I was about six.)

Also, the size of the wax ball that came out didn't look like it should have been able to come out.

Yeah, that amazed me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

OR -- and this is just a possibility -- she could become Batgirl.

The library schools totally need to go this route for recruiting, rather than the tired old "someday, all of the old ladies are going to retire, and then a job might open up somewhere."

It's happening to me right now, AINSFG. I need to hydrogen peroxide which is not fun.

Yeah, that amazed me.

You could launch satellites around that thing!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

ok - so the horrors of myspace have just shown up on my neighborhood email group. and I agreed - saying that all my internet friends who had footprints all over the internet didn't like my space - they felt it exposed them to much. So I get one slightly snotty email from someone - who was saying that my meeting people was different - so I had to send something back restateing my point - I actually was agree it was not a good place for kids. I send short emails . my posts are short here. read the whole freaking thing ....

Ann, that's a ferret.

Ah, Fred. Have you tried acupuncture? It worked like magic on my sinus problems.

Just got back with another prescription and a recommendation to try Zyban (sp?) or some other immune system strengthener next fall. If this doesn't work, I start looking.

And, since my last trip to that doctor in June, I'm down 5 pounds -- depsite the holidays and the cruise!
