well iwent for a swim (5 laps of a 50m pool! yeah! fucking killed me!)

and had a blocked ear after. now everytime ive had a blocked ear, ive had a hot shower and let the water go in my ear, the drain out and it melts the wax etc and clears it out.

well, this time it didnt. and now im fucking deaf.

crocos · 18th September 2009, 22:22

...

I know it's a bit late to suggest this now, but in future: Earplugs?

I need to use an earplug in my left ear due to a fine perforation in the drum - no sound issue, but lets water through and that gets bloody painful - especially chlorinated or salt water.

Pastor Thug · 18th September 2009, 22:27

I remember getting this hardcore ear infection when I was a youngun - was painful as fuck - woke up with blood and stuff on the pillow one morning.
I wasn't sure if the ear infection had burst or I'd just used the pillow to wipe the arsehole of my girlfriend after reaming her.

It probably was the ear infection as I didn't have a girlfriend.

flatmates in general gmg...how I wish I could afford my own place!!

we thought our flatmate was going to be shifting to oz, but then said she is going to stay. now she gives us 2 weeks notice as she is moving down the road. fair enough for only 2 weeks notice, but when you're good friends with someone I would have thought it'd be courtesy to say, Hey I'm looking at another place - Heads up...now we are quite likely going to have to try and bridge the gap and for at least a weeks rent

boo!

xor · 19th September 2009, 11:36

Sucks, how much rent do they have to pay in advance?

Why is she moving down the road? Did she find the wifi cam in the bathroom?

flic · 19th September 2009, 13:34

it still amazes me how many people live from week to week and have no savings for a rainy day

fixed_truth · 19th September 2009, 14:02

I've got a few 'batchelor' mates who make as much as me but have no kids, mortgage etc and spend their money on 'shit'. Their lifestyle choice doesn't bother me it's their choice, but their consistant moaning before payday about being broke gmg. Will be a big wake up call when they have kids & that one income will be for 3+ people. Or they'll probably dump their kids in childcare from 1month which is another gmg.

Yep. I finally got smart in the last few years of my IT job and saved enough for a rainy few months.

Although I guess it doesn't GMG what other folk do with their money. I just wish they had an eye on the future, if only for their sake.

Helious · 19th September 2009, 17:14

grinds my gears trying to get a decent nights sleep with half a fucking ear burnt to a crisp. it's my left ear and i usually sleep on my left side(facing the wall) *sigh* i have to clean the puss/ooze out about 10 times a day, minimum. this is fucking gross. i use two pillows, i have to rotate them because of the ooze. i'm changing pillow cases daily atm.

what's that you say? sleep on my right side? i kinda can, but in my sleep i change over and will wake up on my left side, with my fucking head STUCK to my pillow.

when i see that cunt, i'm going to give him another hiding.

A Corpse · 19th September 2009, 17:21

NO PICS SO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!

Helious · 19th September 2009, 17:24

yeah, i thought about it long and hard. i've got a dozen pics on my cellphone of my clothes covered in his blood and my ear the morning after. 2 megapixels doesn't do it justice!

my brother came over and i asked him to take proper shots with my digital camera and he told me not to be a moron, the internet is forever, etc

so i decided against it, unfortunately for you guys ;p

Thomas Meatball · 19th September 2009, 17:31

Helious, have you seen a doctor about it? They might be able to give you some ointment or some shit which clears up the pus problem.

Helious · 19th September 2009, 17:39

Yeah, seen my GP. Got an injection for pain or was it tetanus?, i forget. and some anti-septic burn cream stuff. and a whole lot of paracetamol with codeine phosphate.

when i say ooze, i'm talking about pus mixed with the cream ;p by around monday or so i imagine the pus/ooze problem will be gone and it'll be nice and scabbed up. it's only been around 72 hours. not even that.

edit: i'm trying to figure out a way to bandage my ear but it's basically impossible unless i wrap my head . LOL

Fucked if I'm ever going back to week to week renting.

MadMax · 19th September 2009, 18:19

don't know how good an idea it is to bandage your ear if it's leaking that badly but there's nothing wrong with wrapping your head to hold in a bandage. use a gorse non-stick pad, large bandage pad on top then wrap.

you could also try medical tape (just sticky enough that it holds on, not sticky enough that you'll lose hair pulling it off... and it breathes) on the sides of the bandage pad taped to your head in the form of a "#"

least you'll get some sleep

leadinjector · 19th September 2009, 18:30

just went down to the local chinese takeaway to get some food, usually i deal with the daughter who works there but today it was just the parents. convo went something like this-

"hi could i get a container of curry chicken and a container of rice?"
she puts in the price for just a curry chicken on rice.
"no no, i want one container of chicken curry and a seperate one of rice"
blank stare, then she gets a small container
"no the medium sized one"
she stands and looks at me with a single medium sized container with a confused look on her face, then gets her husband to come over. he says
"pork?"
"no, look, i want one medium container of rice and a seperate medium container with just curry chicken in it, please"
a mexican standoff ensues for about 5 seconds as all three of us stand looking at each other, until i say
"fuck it, nevermind"
and walk out.

WHY THE FUCK DO YOU SET UP A BUSINESS IN A COUNTRY WHEN YOU CANT EVEN SPEAK THE FUCKING LANGUAGE FOR FUCKS SAKE

Helious · 19th September 2009, 18:33

@madmax, yeah man, tried using gauze and tape. will try gauze and wrap.

@lead, hahaha, i love a good chinese takeaway story, they're the best.

'Is Methanex poised to rort the taxpayer with National’s help?'

Quote:

The enormity of the National-Maori Party changes to the ETS become apparent when you consider the case of Methanex, the Canadian-owned company that turns natural gas into methanol at several plants round the world, including two in Taranaki.

They were a very large user of NZ’s dirt-cheap Maui gas for many years, with peak annual production being 2.33 million tonnes. By 2004 the field had largely run down and further gas was being negotiated at a much higher price so they rapidly wound down their plant and stopped production altogether at the end of 2005. With new gas contracts in 2006 they reopened the smaller, Waitara Valley plant and last year announced some production would resume at their Motunui plant.

Last week, days before the Government announced their big ETS subsidies for carbon-intensive plants, they announced they will be moving to full production at both plants, even though they don’t have an assured gas supply.

This reminds me strongly of just how many fish fishing companies caught in the early eighties, which became the baseline year for allocating fishing quota.

^^^ that reminds me of this one time i fucked my girlfriend at Craig Avon park in Blockhouse/Green Bay in the middle of day time, during summer(at least 50 people there, maybe a hundred). People saw us, we were just behind a tree on a blanket. It started off as a picnic, but at that point in time(i was about 18, maybe 19) i was wayyy too horny, i just had to get it on.

She was pretty hot too, probably top 3 for me.
