Thanks! I'm going to have to try this.

Here's some real ones for ya!
:rofl:Those aren't boobies... they're moobs... with mipples.

Oh my... I'm so sorry.
-
Sounds good... what's in it?

Chelle (pronounced Shell) is part of my name... Michelle.

I would think the question would be why go on and think others should stand in the rain and listen to you.
Agreed. That's the first thing I thought about when I heard about this.
-
You should go over there, Chelle....those lunches last a couple of hours at least!
Thanks. Wish I could, but I can't just leave... I've got to bust butt all morning to get ahead of the game, in order to leave for lunch. I'll be watching for another close one.

Oh... I wish I'd have noticed this thread earlier. Been wanting to meet some Pcommers, been wanting to try City Cafe... and it's short walking distance from my office.
Guess I'd better pay more attention. -
I wish I could just "turn on" the heat. We heat our home with wood... hard work.

Wade, I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this again and that your Mom has been feeling so badly. I hope she feels better soon and that the Docs find the cause... and that it's an easy-to-fix, very minor problem.

I think you and he are right. I looked at Google Maps Street View and compared the doors and windows and awnings on the smaller buildings and they all match. Look at the photo on this link: http://pics4.city-data.com/cpicc/cfiles31011.jpg
I'd bet they looked for a small town photo and chose this one but zoomed in a little on it when using it.
Nice find. That is the same photo.

I made a big pot of potato soup. We also had Boars Head Black Forest Ham & swiss on toasted oat nut bread.

I hope it's good. I gave Cole's 3 chances and was extremely disappointed.

That reminded me a something I read awhile back that cracked me up...
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean. The realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No". I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me." Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn’t have an accident?" "No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more time, "Danny, did you have an accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!" While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feels better, thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!

Grilled cheese & tomato soup.

And people still believe Rhino Horn can cure dieseases. You'd get the same effect eating your own toenails. The doctors that do prescribe homeopathic remedies do so because clinical studies have proven them to have an effect. Studies done on ear candles (not ones done by someone who makes them and use them) but with control groups and controlled testing have shown them to be ineffective.
Any suction sufficient enough to remove wax from the ear would be strong enough to damage the eardrum.
Well, you just keep on believing that... just don't call me an idiot for believing something I saw with my own eyes. I'm done here... I've got better things to do... off to clean the toilets.

So that's what ENT stands for?
My ENT is the first to recommend homeopathic stuff, as is HR's pediatrician. That would be why I picked them.
Which is why I said "most." They aren't all that way.
-
They're handmade, so there's variances in them. Look at photos of them, the material at the bottom does have similarity to sawdust.
I'm not the only one who cant tell you they don't work. There are actual people who have gone to school for 8 or more years after high school can tell you that. They took lots of courses studying the ears and the parts that are attched to them along with the other holes in the head. They're called Otolaryngologists, I'm not 100% certain but I think they're also called ear, nose and throat specialists.
And why would they tell people that? Because telling people to buy candles for 5 bucks hurts their business. Same reason most Docs won't recommend homeopathic remedies.
And yes, it was most certainly sawdust in my Hubby's candle. You can tell me I'm wrong all day long, but you weren't there to evaluate it.

Also for those allergy sufferes, local honey is suppose to be really good to help! One of my BFF's swears by it. There is someone on p.com that sells it, but I forget who.
I think Beasley Hardwood's Dad had some.

Read what I wrote again. It's from the candle itself. Some unburned wax, burned wax that is burning on the inside of the flame which falls back down into the candle, take some waxed paper, roll into a tube and burn it, you'll end up with a similar substance. However there is one that they cand do, drip hot wax onto your eardrum as they shorten and the wax is still a liquid when it reaches the bottom of the tube.
Your response doesn't answer my question.
Let me just add that my Hubby and sis-in-law both did the ear candles on the same day, from the same batch. Hubby works in a woodshop, she doesn't. His candle was full of sawdust, hers wasn't.
Now I'm wondering how believing they work makes me an idiot?
-
Only idiots believe so.
The so called "wax" that ends up in them isn't from the ears. It comes from the candle itself. You'll find it if you burn it in an ear, in a cup or in a closed fist. First heat rises, so there isn't any heat coming down into the ear, second when stuck in an ear, the base forms a seal in the ear so air can't enter to travel up. And since the air isn't moving up in the candle any unburned wax in the candle and the carbon formed falls into the candle forming the so called wax that is supposedly coming out of the ear. Also, even if there is suction it is so slight that it isn't enough to remove anything from the ear canal. And the noise heard is simply the wax in the candle boiling because it has reached it's melting point and you're hearing the was going from a liquid to gas state. The sound is being amplified because the vibrations are transmitted to the ear canal directly by the candle.
And the increased perception in volume is the same effect you get when you stand under a metal roof in the rain. You mind's auditory center becomes acoustomed to the sound and gets used to it. When you remove that noise, other noises then temorarily have the illusion of being louder.
Then please explain the sawdust that it pulled out of my Husband's ear.

I've heard nothing about this and have a senior there.

Sending well wishes.
I hope she's doing much better today and will be able to go home soon. I'm so sorry she had to go through this. I'll be checking for updates.

I think we're planning on tick-or-treating in Southern Trace. We don't live in a subdivision... gotta take the kiddos somewhere.
