yeah, maybe it's just because both branches of our families are dysfunctional as hell, but living with my parents didn't really work out and living with her parents didn't either. It was fine for a month or two, but eventually we were having screaming matches over the most inane and stupid poo poo imaginable

the money we saved was not worth the loss in privacy and non-stop family drama

Your ear canal shouldn't be a bottomless hole. If something rolls into it, you should be able to get it to fall out. I also call bullshit on needing a specialist, provided this is a normal ear.

All they need to do is go into the MRI machine again.

The ear canal is not a straight, wide tube. It narrows and does make a turn and has some pockets around the eardrum where stuff can get caught.

In the case of a tiny metal bead, it's hard to grasp with alligator forceps so your two options are to flush the ear out with a ton of water and hope it pops out, or go digging in there with a curette. If a person can't or won't tolerate the ED doctor digging around in there, they can sometimes get referred to an ENT who has a special microscope and tools that can dig it out more gently.

Fun fact, people do indeed get cockroaches stuck in their ears. Worst part is if they start to break apart and your stuck pulling out individual legs and antennae.

When I was a no-rank private (A1C) in the Air Force I had an annual hearing test and saw a fighter pilot wearing ear plugs until just before his exam. From then I started wearing ear plugs to bed. The habit serves me well and I'm also immune to cockroach invasions god bless.

Word of warning you end up finding ear plugs in random places but it's worth the effort for COCKROACHES IN YOUR EARS.

I find it takes me a while to get used to the sound of the inside of my head when all I'm doing is breathing and laying down in the dark. I use a CPAP, so it starts off a little windy, y'Know? Once you get past that, nice sleep experience overall.

That's just one tool though


An extra tool would be, like, a clone of him. Or, from his point of view, your mom.

Sleeping with earplugs makes the sound of blood traveling through my head much more audible. It's strange to hear that whooshwoooshwoosh all the time.

Pvt.Scott posted:

Now I want to sleep with plugs in and I'm mad because I can't find any so now I have to put up with copious cockroaches copulating in my canals. This is all the internet's fault.

ER doctors have a special type of pliers they can go in there and get stuff out. People get stuff stuck in their ears.

Alright, this is my first time on Reddit. I have been looking for a place to ask advice on the internet. This seems like the most speedy and efficient way I can find. If it's alright, I would rather not give out any specific details. The ages in this are accurate, the names are not.

I have been doing martial arts since I was around 5 or 6 and I've gotten really good it it. I have practised in it almost every day. I've taken up multiple different martial arts. I enjoy it because it keeps me fit and I get this rush when doing it. I love how calm it's being able to keep me in stressful situations. I kinda slipped up several hours ago. I have biological sisters and no brothers. I'm close with my siblings and we're a normal family. The only thing is my parents are divorced.

My father has started seeing this woman, Katie. Katie has 2 sons. John being the oldest at 14. My sisters and I live with our mother, however I am staying with my farther for the weekend. I am attending a party this weekend, or I was. His house is closer to it than my mothers. My regular home is on the other side of the city. This is my first time being her since Katie and her children moved in.

Around 4 am I woke up to someone wearing a hoodie with his hand on my chest and very close to my face. I pulled him in and elbowed him in the face. I cut his cheek open by doing it and it may be bruised. It was one of her children trying to pull a prank on me. You know that thing where you put cream in someones hand and hope they touch their face? There's no other way to say it, he cried. I don't think he's ever been hit before. Katie is arguing that since I do martial arts I should know better. I argue that it was dark and I did what anyone would do.

My farther wants me grounded for the weekend just to keep the peace. He wants me to just take the L to keep her happy. I think this is bullshit but I don't know if it's worth fighting.

tl;dr: I woke up to someone standing over me in a hood with his hand on my chest. I elbowed him in the face and he cried. It was my fathers girlfriend child. He wants me to be grounded for a weekend.

I [26/m] found evidence that my MIL is smoking black tar heroin on tinfoil whilst babysitting our 3-year-old daughter.
submitted 6 hours ago by milisheroinjunkie
What the gently caress do I do. Thing is, I know she has had trouble with pills and other drugs in the past, but never while watching children. My wife (W) has recently suspected that MIL is back on pain pills because she is on good terms with her long term boyfriend, (B). B has had percocet scripts for back pain dating back 8 or 9 years. B and MIL usually hate each other, but they never seem to break up, and they only seem to like each other when B is feeding MIL percocets.
So when B and MIL recently seemed to really like each other again, we (I and my wife) figured MIL was back on pain pills. Which, even though it's super bad, it seemed manageable. SO when the wife and I had a function to go to earlier tonight, we figured it would be okay for MIL to come over and babysit.
Fast forward 5 hours later, and in the bathroom I find a piece of tinfoil with black streaks all over the top, and burn marks from a lighter on the bottom.
gently caress.
So yeah. I know it's black tar because I've lost a friend to this stupid drug, and because I've seen him at his worst, I know how they get high off that poo poo. It's not the same thing as smoking oxy or other pain pills, black tar is obvious.
I have no idea what to do. Wife and daughter are both asleep. I want to wake my wife up right now and show her the evidence. But I know it will break her and her mom's relationship, as well as my daughter's with her grandmother. How do I explain something like this to a 3 year old? She'll never understand why she can't see grandma anymore, and blame me and her mom for it. She'll hate us forever. Do I make grandma out to be the bad guy? What do I do?

Mods, since nobody else has asked, please change my name to Pnurtis

A prank was pulled on me [15M] while I was sleeping. It badly for the person [14M] pulling the prank and my farther is asking me to the punishment.


OP never mentions his first language which is a little weird. But this is just another example of something this thread makes abundantly clear; if you prank, you're a bad person.
