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.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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

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."

Yeah, I periodically go completely deaf in one ear, but last time, it was both, like being underwater almost.
It's happening to me right now, AINSFG. I need to hydrogen peroxide which is not fun.

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!

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 had it when I was a kid. I remember that the doctor stuck this thing that looked like a huge needle in my ear, and withdrew a great lump of black stuff that was hard to the touch. gross, but fascinating. my mom wouldn't let me take it home.

People! When the periodic Ear Wax Conversation comes up around here, it just leads to me becoming obsessed with my *own* ear wax! And that's never a good thing.

Teppy, put down the pencil, the tuning fork, and whatever else you're pulling out of your desk drawer right now and back away.
