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!

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I had to have one of those tubes put in my left ear to soak up the excess wax, which wasn't so bad (they put me under general for the insertion, and the doc just plucked it out with tweezers when it was done), but I hated the earplug they had me wear whenever I was in the pool or in the back of the car with my left ear exposed.

Q-Tips are Bad News when it comes to ear wax -- they might get a little in the outer portion of the ear canal, but they inevitably shove more wax back further in the ear, which leads to that hard, gross, black, packed wax that has to be removed by a doctor.
