You mean one of these thingys?

 

Exactly, though you can get extra decadent features like leg raising and cup holders too.

^growing up those things were called "husbands"

oh. they still are: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/s/husband-pillow/

Well that just added another layer of embarrassment to the whole search.

Good to see these things are kind of widespread in the UK too; I definitely want one more like chen posted though that I can rest the back of my head on.

yeah in faux leather would be nice. all my husbands are covered in dog hair. <-fwp

Could be Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, basically an airlock between your ear and sinus.

 

I've had it off and on in my left ear for years.

 

this can help

 

yeah i have this too, it sucks. some days it bothers me more than others. sometimes i wonder if sprays like that caused it though as i used to use em a lot as a kid whenever i had a cold / blocked nose.

 

 

Last year I had surgery for a deviated septum and sinuplasty. I had on and off colds for months on end over the last 5 years and finally saw a doctor. Turns out I had really overgrown turbinate bones, defective right maxillary sinus tubes with grossly inflamed tissue due to it AND I had a deviated septum fucking my left side up.

 

$4,000 (thanks insurance? would've been 40k without...) and 3 or 4 months after the surgery I felt amazing. I have much better sleep and have only gotten sick once since the surgery and it was much less severe in duration and severity of symptoms than before the operation.

 

Stay away from oxymetazoline in nasal sprays, that shit is garbage for your body and makes things much worse for temporary relief. Using a sinus irrigation device has worked wonders for me as well after the surgery. I have this machine that pumps water up my nostril and cleans out my sinuses, it's pretty nifty, but sortof a bitch to sterilize fully.

 

I think it's worked for me though, better than the stuff the doctor gave me. Ear feels clearer I'm sure of it.

Thanks, Spiral for being better than two separate doctors!

oh cool, fws.

Also feeling crap and have to go in to work early, if I wasn't the best employee ever I'd have called in sick.

I don't think you were kicked, chat has been flakey lately. Which is a FWP as well.

I've never seen anyone be "kicked" from CHATMM.

that can be arranged

Looking after brother's dog = dog staring at me for five hours straight.

People like this kind of behaviour? It's not loyal, it's brain dead selfishness. Totally annoying.

(Yes dog has gone poop, had walk, got food / water etc)

probably just wants you to take him back to your brother since you're a dog hating jerk

He doesn't trust you.

He doesn't trust you.

It's a she! And I hate it because it acts like this! Dog is now whining, wanting me to take it outside in torrential rain. Er, fuck you, dog? Intelligent my arse.

without tv and internet for 6 days. holy fuck

Power's been out where I live for at least 4 hours now. We've been getting hammered with 70-100 mph (110-160 kmh) wind gusts, which must've blown some transformers.

This time of year though, in the Arctic? Fuck this climate change.

EDIT: Correction - found out the wind knocked a tree down which then struck a power line, not a blown transformer.

also, there was an earthquake last night and i slept through it but people i know felt it, scary

Apparently it was just 80km from my mom. Their friends all felt it, pictures crooked on the wall etc.

She slept right through it.

Solar dimming is cool. It's december 31, and the coolest I've felt it at this time of year. It'll probably heat up in Jan though fuk it.

Shit, dude, I hope it gets back soon. Is it cold too? Having power out for a week in November was really shitty in near-freezing weather, any colder than that would be miserable.

My FWP: somewhat inadvertently picked a fight on FB by criticizing Star Wars.
