It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yes, unless you were eavesdropping.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Two big chunks of wax, the size of a marble (each!) came out.

It's amazing what size can get stuck in there! I can totally relate to this! I wear silicone earplugs to sleep every night so I have to be careful to clean my ears out lest the wax build up and I wind up in exactly the same situation.

Which is why I always have the drops and a squeeze bulb on hand.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There was one time when I was a kid and had a really bad earache, and I went to the doctor, and it turned out that I had in my ear a ball of wax nearly the size of a golf ball.

That happened to me when I was a kid. The doctor went in and took out this huge ball of was that was black and hard to the touch. It was gross.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I just thought that I smelled a faint skunk, which was common in San Diego but I don't recall here. Just realized that someone is clearly getting stoned. Go to hell, sinuses, I hate you. I know it's call "skunk weed" but I've never been confused what I was smelling before. There is not enough Sudafed in the world to not make me want to drill a hole in my skull and maybe take out all of my teeth .

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

::Also, coming out of this experience, I am now utterly convinced that our hearing has "handedness", just as our vision does (were those archery blog posts that mention eye-handedness posted in here?).

Yeah, it isn't just manual dexterity that has dominant sides. Legs, eyes and ears also have dominant sides. I believe it is more common to have all four on the same side, but it is not universal. For instance, my right hand, leg, and eye are dominant, but for hearing my left ear wins. A therapist once told me that anyone with left side dominance in any of the four is at greater risk for addiction (this was in a group for obesity/food addiction).

Evolution, it's awesome and, yet, weird.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That makes me wonder if there are also dominant sides for taste and smell but we just don't have any reason to notice it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So did they turn or go straight?
