My ear unclogging itself after three long days

 

Utz potato chips

 

Go to an urgent care/primary care doctor if you've never gotten your ears drained. Highly highly recommend lol. I deal with tons of wax (ew sorry) and was having horrible pain and clogging for a long time until I finally went to a doc for it. I've felt so much better for the past 6 months.

 

a hot shower when you really need one

 

Popcorn indiana kettle corn

 

I have this same issue (“low ear canals” or something with how they’re positioned) and in six grade it was so bad I thought I was going deaf and was so sad I couldn’t listen to music or anything only to found out I had wax build up lmao

they also make drops to “soften” the wax which makes it easier to get out either naturally because it drains out (but not in a gross ear infection way) and doesn’t get rock hard

 

15 minute power naps

 

I've always heard to use Hydrogen Peroxide for it too

 

I think I’ve heard that from time to time. I think there is also an old school method where you put a skinny candle (like a birthday cake candle) or some type of skinny wood stick thing in your ear and you light the other end on fire for a few seconds or something (keeping your head horizontal as you do this, not vertical lol), or that may be for something else with ears or headaches or something. Never tried it myself I just recall hearing about it but hydrogen peroxide sounds much easier!

 

I did the stick thing once or twice when I was way younger. IIRC it’s more like a cone and you stick the skinny end in your ear, but then yeah you light the other end on fire and it slow burns for a few minutes. I’ve heard it’s not very good for you though, but can’t remember why. I think part of it is that it’s good to have some earwax built up — the cone thing gets an absurd amount out

 

I've heard them referred to as "ear candles" which really sounds kinda gross lol

 

our friend @Mary V was finally able to get her first dose of the vaccine and I'm so happy that she was able to

 

Ahhhh, thank you, love you!

 

The end of summer

 

oh for sure

jelly you thought of it before me tbh lol

 

My Summer should be coming to a close in 'bout two to three months it's so f*ckin' hot

 

yeah us Floridians still have August, September, and maybe half of October

 

lol we don't have an average high in the 70's until November here (tallahassee). I just looked it up. How miserable

 

brutal lmao

 

Was gonna say that good weather didn't start here until like mid-November last year

 

We’ve had a particularly great monsoon season in the Phx area this year, lotta really overcast days with weather in the 80s. Makes me hopeful that it’ll cool down a little earlier this year than it has for a while now. Cause otherwise I’m with y’all — the days are basically summer until December

 

oh wow

 

Wait this is the reasons to live thread not the things that annoy you thread. Whoops

uhhhhhh popcorn

 

What if the reasons you live are for the things that annoy you
