  • I was experiencing some slight hearing loss because of a noisy environment at work. The audiologist looked in my ears and said she was worried that I might have done compacted earwax and asked if I used Q-tips. I sometimes did. She told me to stop and to clean them out by putting olive oil in each one, holding it for a while then letting it run out into tissue paper. I can’t remember how much or for how long, but it definitely did the trick.

    I can relate to the picture, very much, even though I don’t use Q-tips any more.

    I use drummer’s ear buds now and they’re great because my hearing recovered quite a lot, the tinnitus went away entirely and I can hear what people are saying when I’m wearing them.

    I’m confused. The Mrs was clearly not ovulating, so I checked out pretty much all the homies for the rest of the month, but it didn’t seem to me like any of them were either, which seems statistically unlikely. Does this mean I’m the one on heat? Do I switch from pitcher to catcher on months like these? Is that why Alex… well, Alex, you know what you did, and that’s not what we agreed, was it, and and I think you know full well I couldn’t say the safe word at that point and I think you deliberately misinterpreted me slapping your admittedly cute butt dimple.






  • Well, perhaps it might be possible to catch some tummy bug from someone else, I don’t know, but you inhale the fecal particles when you flush anyway I suppose.

    The lid stays down all the time (well, in between use) at our house, with the idea that you minimise the amount of fecal particles floating around your room. I know it doesn’t eliminate it, but I want to flush as much as possible of the poo and not inhale it, so I insist on the lid being closed.

    I’m not claiming danger, I just don’t like the thought.
