I only had one terrible ear infection as a kid and it was nearly unbearable.
After pacing the floor for hours, I finally woke up the 'rents. My step-mother warmed some olive oil (this was pre-microwaves) and dropped it into my ear. I tell you, it was like a miracle. The pain disappeared instantly and a warm sense of well-being washed over me. Miracle! I slept on my side with a washcloth to catch the oil and all was well. Score one for the step-mother!

Yeah, the olive oil thing works well because it retains the heat so nicely. Just make sure it isn't TOO hot because that hurts like whoah.

I'm sure you all will be pleased to know that my Dad's pacemaker check up in May went great! At least that's what the insurance records I received today suggested. As I said to the woman on the Blue Cross/Blue Shield fraud hot-line, if someone can do a pacemaker check up in May on a man who died and was cremated the previous February, they deserve a lot more than the $176 they were billing insurance.

Does the pacemaker have to be *in* the patient for it to be checked? Loophole!
Seriously, that's such fraudulent bullshit, and yet another example of how our healthcare system sucks wang.

flea, no. In fact, after a few failed attempts, the clue was that he was referring to non-adhesive postage stamps, ie, the ones you have to lick.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
what is the main difference between an American postage stamp and an Israeli postage stamp?
You can't lick an Israeli postage stamp on Saturday?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
