just a few things ....

The fire department was at my house today....cobwebs in the sensors triggered the alarm... Sam Dupra, Double G 's friend and a volunteer fireman, went through the house to make sure all was ok, then called me to let me know I needed to have the alarm company take us off line, until I clean the cobwebs from the sensors, so the fire company does not keep getting false alarm calls... all this happened when the entire family was out...G man's office manager let the firemen in, she works in the office at the back of the house, and was very surprised to see all the trucks (2) the police (1) at the door. The sirens were disabled at 4am this morning by G man and me so she did not hear the alarm trigger again. We forgot to call the alarm company last night to have us taken offline, so when the circuit recycled the alarm went off at the monitoring company, they called the House did not get an answer then sent the fire department. I am glad we always donate money to the volunteer fireman that's the second time they have had to come in 2 years for a false alarm.


Yesterday morning I spent 1 1/2 hours at the doctors getting gross disgusting nasty wax cleaned from my right ear. For the last few months I have had crunching, bubbling and pressure in that ear. Finally decide to have it looked at before I get on the plane next week. I didn't want to deal with ear pressure pain while flying. Been there and did not like it much.

The PA put peroxide and colace in my ear then used a hugh metal syringe filled with water to flush the ear. The flushing helps get all the nasty wax out. I was so embarrassed. It was really disgusting.

Double G is in London sick. He left last Friday with a bad cold that has only gotten worse. He thinks he has strep but refuses to go to the campus doctor. The cost is 50 pounds. He doesn't want to spend the money. HA! idiot...he spent $400 to upgrade his seat on the plane but won't spend money to see a doctor. MEN!

More later.....

It's amazing what can come out of a person's ear. I did a home version of the earwax thing on my husband a long time ago. At first, I thought we'd flushed out a tiny pencil. Gross.

My kids are always having trouble with earwax. They don't like it when they hear "well, first we need to get this wax out"

Do what I do. Shove some small rope in one ear and pull it out the other ear. Work it back and forth awhile, it's called mental flossing.

See, that's the difference between men and women - women would be happy to give up fifty pounds.
