My Ear!!! My Ear!!!

[aknif]

LOL girls! At least your man would touch them, Doll. My husband won't even touch the box! EVER! One time, My hubby was watching the kids, and I come home to him telling me that the girls made a mess in my bathroom that he wasn't about to clean up. They'd gotten into the pads, unwrapped many of them, took the adhesive liners off and had them stuck everywhere. On the sides of the tub, on the cabinets, everywhere... He would not touch any of them to clean them up!

My step-dad is the only man I know who's in touch with his feminine side. If my Mom needed something, he'd stroll right into the store, go to that aisle, stand there for as long as it took to find the "right ones", tuck them under his arm and stroll up to the 6-item-or-less checkout lane. No courtesy candy bar purchase or anything else to "hide" what he was buying. "Nope, I don't need those in a bag, thanks though!" and he'd stroll right out of the store with them under his arm! What a great man!

I have also been guilty of going to far with the q-tip. I've actually had to go to the doctor because the ear wax removal kit didnt work. In today's world of medical technology i expected the DR to have some fancy gizmo to remove the wax but NO, he comes in with a regular Oral-B water pick. I was a little nervous at first but he showed me how to do it myself and it wasnt painful at all. So after my appointment i went and bought a water pick so i could perform the procedure myself as needed.

Okay, if we're sharing that much...The funniest scene I've ever witnessed:

My friend had just been admitted to the hospital to deliver her first. I was along to make sure they got there okay--the husband, a quite macho man, came completely unglued and was panic-stricken. The nurse came in, did some stuff, and mentioned she'd be back in a few minutes to collect the pad from the bed after it had collected some fluid. My friend asked if a liner could be used, and the nurse said sure, if she'd had it on for more than 5 minutes. Gallant husband whips the panties from the pile of closing, and rips the admittedly sodden liner away. Freezes, realizing what he has done, and what he now holds in each hand. The nurse bit her lip, and carefully took the liner away from him, while my friend and I giggled hysterically.

My husband once told me that he loved me so much that he'd go get tampons if I needed him to. He never has though, maybe I should check into that...

 

[aknif]

LOL OG! I always hoped that I'd see my husband get a little hysterical at the hospital, but he never did. Actually, he was MORE CALM once we got there! He had repeatedly asked me, throughout both my pregnancies, to please NOT have to have the baby at home where he'd have to help me. As if I would have any control over this! That was his main concern for 9 months... that I'd have the baby at home and he'd have to deliver it!

And Larissa! Did he tell you this BEFORE or AFTER he married you?? LOL Ask him to stop at the store and get you x-brand tampons in the pink box or whatever and see what happens. Report the results back to us!!

Say what?

Something my dad used to say: "You've got so much crap in there, you could grow potatoes!" Hence the "head-based potato farms."

Go To the doctor!! I pierced my ear drum last year and that is exsactly what the symptoms are except there is quite often excrusiating pain too but not always. Go and get it checked because I am still half def in one ear because of it. It is ery very easy to do so I would say take the safe way and go to the doctor.

 

[Larissa]

He told me that before we got married so yea, I think after I have this baby he's taking a trip to the store. ha, ha!

My hubby is really cool about buying any feminine products I need. He actually does do most of the regular grocery shopping(bless him), and even takes one of the kids so I can have a moment of "half-peace". :bowing:
Oh, and I think the ear thing is definately worth a doctor visit. If you really think it's wax you can try a few drops of oil(cooking). Let it set then lay on your side over a paper towel to drain it. Although, I've had wax build up once that my doctor had to physically remove. I had thought it was water too, from snorkeling.
