Oh my goodness no, it's wonderful! Having your ear flushed feels so, so good, like finally being able to scratch an itch. It can be a strange sensation, and at the worst it's mildly uncomfortable for a second, but it's never been painful for me. My issue with the fungal infection was a pretty rare side affect, you can mention it to your doctor if your worried about it. There are ways to prevent it and he might even know about the white wine vinegar and alcohol trick.
I'll bite. Despite never using q-tips and always following doctors orders, about once a year I get ear wax build up so terrible that I'll be unable to hear out of the blocked ear and I have to go to the doctor. My doctor will then use a giant syringe full of water to flush it out and I end up with a sizable ball of ear wax in a dish of irrigated ear-water. It's disgusting. (Also sometimes this takes a while as the ball of wax "moves around" in the ear and won't want to come out.)

Then last year, I got the regular flushing and then the most intense stabbing pain in my ear that lasted for about 3 days. I had to see a specialist who said that the regular ear wax flushing and subsequent antibiotics (because the wax causes an infection) caused FUNGUS to grow in my ear and put pressure on the actual ear drum, resulting in the most intense, unending pain I've ever experienced. I almost went to the ER, for an ear infection!

After three different doctor appoints, $250 spent on useless medications and copays, and the incredibly strong urge to Van Gogh myself the specialist told me how to fix it. The cure: equal parts rubbing alcohol and white wine vinegar, pour into ear, leave it in for five minutes, repeat a few times a day. It worked. The ear is a strange, strange organ people.

Just make sure they're alliance approved.
Just saw Chronicle today and it was great. Darker than I thought it would be, but it's one of those, "if this were to actually happen, this is how it would happen," type of movies. It felt very real. Don't let the "found footage" part scare you away, it's not at all like Cloverfield, they find cool ways to make the concept work.
No no, he was in the original British version. It was James Marsden in the crappy American remake. But Tudyk was at his best as Alpha in Dollhouse.

"Carrots! Medicinal carrots! Personal-use medicinal carrots that were here when I moved in and I'm holding it for a friend! "

Let me advise what not to do: don't go up to a woman in a bar and randomly try to stroke her face, that happened to me last weekend and it was gross and weird.
Damn it, Carey! Don't waste a golden opportunity like that.

That show was crazy.

Look, wait if you want to, do what makes you feel comfortable, but don't let your whole life revolve around waiting. Being a virgin doesn't make you better or worse than anyone else. If it's a choice, that's fine, if it's not a choice go out and get what you want, don't let fear of genitalia dictate your life. #crosstalk
Of course, they're ALL virgins, for fucks sake. They had better have had a wild, crazy drug-fueled orgy in that cabin.

The whole rockstar thing is weird, too. Men are people, not these fantastical objects who exist only to fulfill your fantasy, they're going to have their own things going on.

But I really hope that Carey let's that lady take his maidenhead. Do it Carey, and never look back! #crosstalk
And telling them you wanted to be married with kids five years ago? Not a good strategy, talk about the damn weather or what was on tv last night. No one wants to hear about your five year plan.

"I just gotta do this" and "why is she kissing me so much," words every new bride prays to hear.

But my heart goes out to the bald guy, he cooks, and like cats, and exercises, he should have ladies lined up around the block. Stop telling them you're a virgin.

#crosstalk
Ugh, that couple, it's clear nothing is happening because he doesn't want it to, because he likes boys, and that's ok.

The poor bald guy, I want to throw him a bone, he can give me a call and I'll show him how it's done.

But people need to stop mentioning that they're a virgin on the first date, it's only a big deal because you won't stop talking about it!

eta. Crotchless panties, that poor boy is going to be terrified!
They're gonna "do foreplay" to each other, I can't even.... The second-hand embarrassment is physically painful. I actually feel bad for the bald guy, some therapy would go miles.
Telephone calls? A bitchy tweet and a pissy email, those I can understand (kind of). But multiple phone calls? So someone called the 800 number, then pressed three for customer service, then pressed five for soda, then pressed two for Coke, then pressed one for regular Coke and then sat on hold listening to muzak renditions of Taylor Swift songs, then pressed one to speak to someone in English, then got mad about how long this was taking and pressed zero several times, then somehow ended up talking to some guy in the shipping department then got transferred to accounts payable before being bounced back to customer service and pressing five, two, one, one, and then waiting for twenty minutes before telling "Becky" in costumer service about the displeasure regarding the color of the coke can?
Glue traps are amazing little mice catchers, the only hard part is what to do once you've caught the mouse. Also: cats, they aren't just for spinsters.
Email? Pick up the phone and start screaming at them. They work for you, right? Let the management company know that if the problem isn't resolved in x mount of days, that they will not be getting paid for the THREE weeks your tenets didn't have heat and that you will be finding a new management company immediately.

I would also contact all of your tenets (by phone or mail) to apologize and let them know how disappointed you are in the management company and leave some type of contact info so your tenants can let you know when the management company isn't doing their job.

What your tenants may end up doing (and I'm sure your familiar with this) is putting their rent money is escrow until the situation is resolved, which they are well within their rights to do. Additionally, they could take you to small claims court if they feel they should get money back on their rent or suffered any kind of loss during the period they were without heat.

Dude, three weeks without heat in near freezing temperatures, it's time to get mad, which your tenants, no doubt, already are.
I thought tube socks referred to the ones that came to mid-calf, as opposed to the little footie socks that you can hide in your sneakers and make your legs look slim instead of making them look like pale tree-trunks, like tube socks do. There's a whole world of socks out there my friend, now go explore!
I'll pay somebody to "lose" the tube socks with high heels look.
Just hearing the words Thrid Eye Blind caused Semi-Charmed life to get stuck in my head, they need to get thrown back into the 90's cave from whence they came.

And if OWS is going to have a theme song I vote for Modest Mouse: Bury Me With It.
Calling something 'saddle leather' is so much nicer than calling it brown. This is my saddle leather birkin bag, these are my saddle leather Manolos, this is my saddle leather wallet from the dollar store filled with two crumpled ones, I feel classier already.
Yeah, you can trust him with that nuclear warhead, until a younger, hotter nuclear warhead comes along.
History Degree right here, and I recently had two job offers within two weeks! Although I had to work my ass off to get them.
