Steph's doctor is killer...
My doctor's observation on first peering in my ear: "There's a moderate level of nastiness in there."
Me: "Is that a medical term?"
Dr.: "Well, no. The term is 'ew, gross!', but I didn't want to confuse you with medical terminology."
****
I should probably confess that it was caused (or at least compounded) by Q-tip use, for which the doctor chastised me. Well, rolled his eyes.
Dr.: [looks in ear, moment of silence passes] "Do you use Q-tips?"
Me: "...no?"
Dr.: "Yeah, THAT was convincing."
Frankenbuddha:
...I've also had an ENT use a hook to get particularly stubborn wax out. Not as uncomfortable as the nosecam he also employed, but still not pleasent, and boy do you keep your head still when that's going on.
Polter-Cow:
Earhooks.
Calli:
Yep. You bait them with earworms.
smonster:
To catch earfish?
(reminded of Babel Fish)
Made even funnier if you're the sort of nerd who would reflexibely picture a giant Tree Doctor weilding said earhook. And if HE can't help you you'll have to see the tree surgeon.
Made me giggle, in Bitches:
erika:
Also "hey, girlfriend!" seems to have met the same fate as "posse"
Steph L:
Passe?
Ginger in Bitches:
I'm wondering whether there's anyone who has kept track of when the Christmas decorations have gone on sale each year. I think the first week in October is the earliest I've seen them. The stores are all Halloween decorations next to Christmas decorations, making me consider a Nightmare Before Christmas approach to outdoor decorating. I was rather taken with the animated lighted vulture at Michael's. I think arranging bits of one of the plastic human skeletons around it would be a nice touch. For Christmas, I could stick a Santa hat in its mouth.
Because I not only think the statement of intent is hilarious, but also I would love to see photos when it becomes reality.
Lurkers represent!

This thread is like having Buffista training wheels.

Even a nice Chianti won't wash this one down (from Natter).
Jesse: Even my crunchiest home-birthing friend didn't eat her placenta, although she thought about it....
Billytea: If her placenta was crunchy, she has bigger problems than deciding whether she could finish a whole one.
