What Grinds Your Gears? :)

[IndigoErth]

Little bit of ear pressure/pain... Used the Afrin nasal spray hoping maybe it would open up the eustachian tubes if that's the issue (been particularly poppy lately and stuffy ears at times), but now it feels like there is a little twinge here and there of facial sinus pressure that wasn't there before. >.> *sigh* Not sick and never get sick outside of winter, and I generally don't have allergies, so...

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Not good, Indigo. You should probably go to a doctor to see what's going on. Mom has had a sore throat, and she doesn't know why. I had one the other day myself and attribute it to the dry weather. Maybe that's part of your problem too.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

This friggin' heat. It's 102 today, with a heat index of 107. I'm callin' in for a ride today. Ain't walkin' almost two miles in THAT sh*t.

[IndigoErth]

August heat much? Hope you gave a hand gesture to that bird on the way past.

Not sure, it's been rather humid here, but maybe dryer indoor air. I have been slightly sneezier this summer more than normal (but we're talking just a couple/few times a day, not to an obvious allergy level), maybe things have been a little clogged up and didn't realize it. Seems to have let up a bit today, doesn't really hurt, just slightly stuffy, but will prob get it checked out if it still seems to linger or come and go.

Can't be a sinus infection because it's only the ears. Ear infection...? But I don't think it would change the way it does? And it's both ears equally.

Recently when it was really stuffy a couple days in a row (kind of the onset of it), that showed up in the afternoon on both days, and then let up by early evening. So wtf.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

No need, got a ride in from a coworker. In a Mustang no less.... But yeah, this heat is ridiculous! And it won't let up til late September, if this year proves normal in that department. Gods I hate Texas heat....

I walked two miles down the Vegas strip in 118F once, you could have least manned up for god's sake!

(JOKING! 102F in your humidity is easily worse)

>.< Ouch. Hope there wasn't much.


That's ok... one time years ago I was absentmindedly playing around with a stapler in my hands, not really giving it much thought, then put my finger over the end where the staples come out... and squeezed it. Put a staple straight into my finger.

Aw, bird didn't get flipped the bird through the window? lol Badly behaved birdie can sit there somewhere in the heat in his hot feathers while the human gets a cool ride in a nice car. *phhht*

[MsMarvelDuckie]

It doesn't hurt so much now, though I did end up tracking blood all over the floor :V

Glad to hear things are better, Indigo. Sinus troubles aren't fun.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

OMG- the heat just keeps getting worse!! We're supposed to hit 108 by the end of the weekend, and maybe even 110 in a few places- mostly around Dallas. At this rate, I'll be able to cook my food on the sidewalk! Don't worry, I'll do it in a pan. Anybody want fried chicken?


(speaking of birds- I hope that d@mn kite gets heat stroke....)

[IndigoErth]

Grinds...

When the one problematic house on my street, across the road and one over, has to cause drama. Again.

Also, when a bag of mixed veggies gyp you. Broccoli is mostly stems, the mushrooms it claims was roughly five or six little tiny pieces; they were slightly more generous with the several slices of water chestnut. At least the carrots were decent, but I guess they're a cheaper ingredient. I know it's store brand, but come on.

110?? 0_e oh hell no. I will drown myself in ice before having to put up with 100+ degree weather. Eugh. I feel SO sorry for you.

If you can get to the ice before drowning in sweat first.

What else are you supposed to use it for? It covers everything.


My grind- that I just wasted 5$ and almost two hours on that Craptastic Four film. Gah, now I want to punch myself in the head for seeing it. Or punch the director, writers, and producers (no, Stan, not you- though I might force you to watch it....) for MAKING it.

So a toy I'd bought the cats some years ago and hasn't been seen for quite a while turned up again. (Who knows where they've had it hidden all this time.) It's one that has an [inaccessible] battery and makes mouse noises when it senses that it's touched.

Problem is... one of the cats likes to put toys in the dry food bowl. Rarely do they end up in the water, but it happens on occasion. Guess where the electronic toy ended up... I found it on the floor, not in the bowl, but it was soaking wet and now it won't stfu. Tried to dry the thing off and was eventually forced to throw it out onto the hot enclosed back porch hoping maybe it will stop once it dries out inside.

I don't want to have to throw the darn thing out, but it's pretty annoying. Maybe I can just cut it open and remove the thing inside instead.

If you mean in the way/insinuation that makes one feel like cattle or something of that nature, I agree.

As gender designation on things someone fills out info on or whatever else that doesn't have the same insinuation is fine, I have no issue, both genders are listed the same way. But socially it's a pretty quick turn off the way it's used sometimes. Why it's so bothersome and where that started, not even sure...in some way it just feels too basic though like it disregards someone's humanity...or something like that; something in 'the feels' just simply doesn't appreciate it much [to try to gently put that in a way that someone doesn't get butthurt and tell me why I'm wrong about my own feelings over it.]
