Thread title is nice to know.   Sorry that you're the only Mudcatter who isn't perfect.

But stick around, we'll do our best to teach you.

However, "heretic religion" is not the problem, as I suspect you know.   Your and your fellow militant atheists have determined what everybody else should believe---you are the new orthodoxy (the martyr's hairshirt doesn't quite fit you), and you are not willing to live and let live, which the believers on Mudcat are willing to do.

And please note I was not the one who brought this up on your new thread. For the culprit, look in the mirror. Thread creep?:       Physician, heal thyself.



All that said, sorry about your ear problem.



And I will turn the thread back to you--this is my first and last comment.   Somehow, however, I suspected it would not be said without my participation.

I did the opposite a while back -- used one of them things but it did't have cotton on the end. Got some blood, but the doc checked it later and said there was no problem.

I replied, "What say?"

I used to be conceited, but since I stopped being that, I'm perfect.

I had thought of olive oil Eliza, thanks. There was a time when it was only available from chemists after all. None at the cottage though.

Joe is on the button. Divine retribution after all. Oh... Scottish atheists are black balled too. Although the new religion (see other thread) will need some expertise in judging others.

Perhaps Van Gogh could be my inspiration?

Oh me name it is Van Gogh, lend an ear......

I use a common match for those duties... No, not lit and not the end that lights and no wooden matches... Does a great job of getting wax out...

Actually, I tried to get my elbow in there but I think I'd have to break my arm off to pull that off...

Have you tried pouring olive oil in your ear, Musket? The cotton tip can't be stuck with superglue, just wax. Oil (warmed slightly) may flush it out fairly easily. But do try not to poke at your ear too much and inflame the inside. Good luck!

You're suggesting there's nothing between his ears but fluff, Ake? ;-)

Perhaps reverse the flow of air on a shop vac and blow it out the other side with the wand...

Might be easier to push it out the other side.

Be very sure that they remove the correct cotton ball.

Perfection is an elusive goal. Many try to attain it. Few succeed. But you, Musket...you came soooo close! I weep for your fall. (grin)

Here's a tip for next time. Rotate the cotton bud when first inserting it. You will find that when rotated one direction, it tightens more around its wooden shaft...rotated the other way, it starts to loosen some. If you always rotate it in the direction of tightening, it's most unlikely to come off when you go to remove it.

Just testing it now myself to see which direction is the right one for tightening...and.........ummm..................-----oh, shit!

The brother of a friend of mine had some ass-issues, which eventually resulted in him having a hemroid operation. In assessing the situation, my friend confided to me, "I guess nobody can call him a perfect asshole anymore"

Ouch!

Well, I suspect you will survive the surgery. Hope it doesn't ruin your holiday.

On the other hand, it serves you right, you heretic, you....

Cheers!

Ok. I claim to interfere in healthcare, which I do. Also, my responsible adult is a consultant surgeon.

We are both familiar with the concept of never putting anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.

However..

Ten mins prior to setting off on holiday today I decided to a) put a cotton bud in my ear and b) retrieve it sans the cotton wool tip. It appears to be stuck to my eardrum. The GP practice near where I have rented a cottage looks like getting some work tomorrow.

As we both work in healthcare, she is so happy that I am partially deaf when she is talking at me and that day 1 shall be spent in a surgery being called a dozy pillock.

I assume this is divine retribution for starting a heretic religion on an adjacent thread. Watch yer back Steve!
