earwax

“What is earwax made out of? I am very curious and figured you all could help.”

“It comes from bee's ears.”

“Birch, I am afraid if you discover the answer to this mystery, you will attempt your master's in the composition of belly button lint. God help us if you pursue a doctorate.”

“Found this link:

Earwax explanation”

“If you eat earwax while backpacking are you still a vegan?”

“I like the way it tastes!

“This has been very helpful. Now does anyone know how to stop bleeding from the ear?”

“Quit sticking your pencil in it.”

“tell joy to yell a little quieter.

what the hell have you been doing, man!?!”

“Pathman, that will prevent bleeding, my concern is the half liter that has oozed out this evening.”

“oh, maybe the earwax?”

“Stick your finger in it!

8)”

“Please dont make light of my condition. I have ruined two of my best izod shirts. When I try to put the earwax back it just makes a gooey mess.”

“Sick!

But cool!

I give you a 8.5 for taste!

“did you hit your head? bleeding from the ears is a sign of basal skull fracture.”

“Thats not cool!

Go see a doctor.

“Birch-Just get a screwdriver and tighten up that srew you've got loose-then go see a doctor.”

“Birch, you still alive?”

“Tourniquet around the neck ought to stop the bleeding.”

“Bleeding from the ear is bad...see a doctor quick.

My left ear is abit blocked from ear wax...happened 3 weeks ago from swimming. Haven't had the time to go see a doc. This also happened to the same ear 2 years back...at that time I went to see a doc quick, since I thought I was going deaf.”

“birch, I am not a doctor, but the few times I saw an Army man bleeding from the ears could have been prevented by appologizing to the Marine.”

“I always wondered why gay bars and kiddie porn shops always seemed to pop up around Marine Bases.

After that last post I now know why.”

“Gordon, U don't know #&%!$ from shinola and everyone knows it.”

“On a lighter note...

Stick it in your ear Birch.”

“Oh man no mercy here!

“What started out as an innocent, fun-loving thread has quickly turned into a world of vile hate! Kind of like parents fighting at their kid's sporting events...”

“My wife brought home these “ear candles” from a health food store. They are hollow bee's wax candles with a muslin core. It's weird, but you lay your head on the side, stick the narrow end in your ear and light it. The rising heat draws all the crap out of your ear. I'm a reasonably clean person but I was amazed at the amount of yeast that came out. There was a noticeable difference in my hearing afterwards.”

“Ewwww....

My sister had to have her ears cleaned out at the dr. every so often cause she would have an abnormal amount of earwax buildup. Yuck.”

“Hey Violin, how long did the doctor say it would be before your hair grows back and will the skin grafts from your butt be successful?”

“Does that work?????

“Don't be getting bloody earwax in that nw van. Bossman might not like that.”

“Something must be wrong with Birch. The Birch I am familiar with wouldn't own an izod shirt, much less be worried about getting blood on it.”

“what's izod?”

“I used to have an anti-izod shirt. Had the alligator dead, with little "x"'s for eyes, lying on his back.”

“Birch - Please see a doctor.

Violin - I never heard of ear candles until last night listening to Art Bell on the radio. He described them and how they work. He said that they really did a good job for him. I guess you put something over your ear to protect it from hot dripping wax. Anyway, it was the first time I ever heard of them. I guess you can cut the candle open when you are done and see all the crap that came out of your ear.”

“Big Coop, I wouldnt be caught dead in an IZOD shirt!

Walkindude, IZOD shirts were the collared shirts that were cool in the 80's

Phil I was just kidding about the bleeding.”

“bleeding ear could mean an infection, you need to see a doctor as quick as you can, and then you might get antibiotics. my friend has this happening to them right now. Anitbitotics are expensive, but they help. Not something to be taken lightly.”

“I stopped the bleeding by ramming a red hot fire poker into it. All i hear now is a sizzling sound.”

“You got me!!...but the ear candles are for real.”

“When I was a kid, my Mom would clean my ears by having me lay on my side, then she'd pour hydrogen peroxide in my ears. After a while, it'd loosen the earwax and float it to the surface for skimming. By the end of one year, I had a ball of earwax the diameter of a quarter.”

“Does that feel good or does it hurt?

8)”

“Buddur, bits of your brain floated out with the wax. Lol

Isn't there some kind of ear drop that do the same thing? I might go look for it to unplug my ear.”

“Sure there is stuff in the drugstore for this if you need to spend more money. Or you can just use the hydrogen peroxide...:-D”

“Earwax makes good lipbalm.”

“Have you used it Buddur?

8)”

“In a pinch you can rub your index finger along the side of your nose. The oily junk can be rubbed on your lips as lipbalm,yes I have tried it ,yes it works.”

“I herd that too!

The oil on your eye brows work also!

8)”

“How about the inside of your nose?”

“I think Star Trek had the solution to ear wax buildup in The Wrath of Khan.”
