perhaps you have an ear infection?
Apparently you do. Your never too old to get sick!
though you may be a bit older
the viruses will only get bolder
with puss coming out
you’ve trouble hearing no doubt
so I’ll yell “CLEAN THAT GREEN SHIT OFF YOUR SHOULDER”
I think it’s ‘pus’….. And pus can’t be green… it can only be whitish-yellow, yellow or yellow-brown…..
crap… a typo in my beautiful poetry….
and yellow can sometimes look greenish…
ah screw it, it wasn’t one of my best anyways.
it’s getting hard to keep ’em coming… I may have to think of more word games to keep the creative bitch juices flowing.
and just what is the fucking point you were trying to make again,o.p.,that you’re stupid,or just a tad off your meds?
Has medical science proven there to be an age limit on earaches/ear infections?
I’ve had three or four ear infections (or ‘aches’) in the past few years and I’m in my late [argh] twenties and my over-fifty mother currently has one, so there are no age limits.
I’m not a doctor, but one thing I always do (which I probably shouldn’t) is get some hydrogen peroxide and some q-tips and dip the q-tip in the peroxide and stick it in [GENTLY!!!!!] in my infected ear. You’ll hear it bubble. It’s probably hella bad (do it at your own risk — I take no responsibility if you end up busting your eardrum) for you, but I find it helps clear things up faster along with the antibiotics (if you don’t have some of those, you neeeed to get some). Just don’t smell the q-tip, unless you want to pass out. heh.
That method’s also a great way to keep your ears clean when you DON’T have an infection, and I do it regularly to keep my ears nice and squeaky clean. Though again it’s probably super bad for you and I, again, take no responsibility if any one of you bust your ear drums trying this.
Also: who calls an ear infection an “earache” at 25?
The only thing with that hydrogen peroxide method is that it cleans the good shit as well as the bad shit PK.
It’s better to get a dropper and use a drop of mineral oil in your ear, and if you are someone who has ear issues..don’t use q-tips, you are just asking for a punishment.
i was looking at the dog’s ear medicine…looks like it would work on bipeds as well…DO NOT USE Q TIPS
I used to get earaches a lot, but haven’t had one for a while now. I would take vitamin e
oil, and put it in my ear, and put a cotton ball over it, and wear a winter cap.
and if you insist on using q-tips… you might want to stop when you meet resistance.
