yeah I do not know what that dried puddle is but I am pretty sure it's vegetation-related, like perhaps the drippings from a bag of decayed cilantro

when i moved out of my last apartment i finally cleaned up a slick of spilled "wild cherry" schnapps that had been fossilizing under my (fully transparent) crisper drawer for nearly a year. it had hardened to a bright red enamel that resisted soap and hot water. had to chip it out with a spatula.

guests brought and spilled the schnapps, not that that excuses anything

I found a slick of dried orange chicken sauce on my counter under some dishes. I sprayed some counter spray on it to clean it up, but I think I forgot about it and now I'll have a dried layer of countertop cleaner on top of it

ever since I stopped biting my nails (-1 dirt bag points) I can use my pinky nail to clean out my ear wax (+10 DBPs). And do a bunch of coke, obviously.

i had to go to the doctor to get an ear flushed out last week because it had too much earwax-- it was painless, took 3 minutes, and i felt like a new man afterwards

about a year ago I tried to use a q-tip after not using one for a long time, and it pressed the earwax againt the drum = constant and horrible ringing sound for some days straight. the moment after the doctor sucked it out w/ a vacuum was among the better moments in my life.
― iatee, Monday, 30 April 2012 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
according to him never clean your ears
― iatee, Monday, 30 April 2012 19:05 (twelve years ago) link
my doctor said the official rule is NEVER put ANYTHING in your ear INCLUDING q-tips (thats how i got too much wax plugging up my eardrum)
but if you HAVE to use q-tips, try and be conscious of how you use the q-tip: use it like a shovel, not a battering ram.
also, things like tiny screwdrivers, keys, paperclips are terrible ideas because of bacteria and chance of cutting something

i once wadded up a bright pink flyer at stuck it in my ear because i didn't bring ear plugs to a show
they fell out of my right ear and i had a ringing in that ear from the noize for a couple months afterward
i went to the doctor a couple of months later because that ear was hurting
he reached in with really long tweezers and took out the wadded up flier. it looked like wadded up rolling papers rubbed with lard

last week I took my car in for an oil change, and wisely cleaned out a collection of empty cans and trash on the floor in the back. went in to pick it up, glanced in the back, and noticed an open condom wrapper with a condom stuffed back in it peeking out from underneath the floor mat

also, re the earwax thing above, my son apparently found a box of qtips that fell out of the grocery bag. he's been idly cleaning his ears on car rides and tossing the used qtips on the floor.
