When I was a greeter at the bank I had older men flirting with me all the time. It was VERY uncomfortable. Most of these guys were married or 20 years older than me.
I still get some young girls that hit on me...I know it could never be anything, but its nice to get a little attention.

My ear feels clogged and I can't hear as well from it like the other one. Please pray it's not infected. :( I hate ear infections and I get them so often.

Get some carbamide peroxide from your local pharmacy....

it will soften the earwax into liquid form and then you use a water squirter (usually supplied with the carbamide packet) to flush all the junk out....you may have too much wax build up in your ear....

You should be able to find this at walmart or another brick and mortar store:

http://www.amazon.com/Murine-Carbamide-Peroxide-Removal-0-5-Ounce/dp/B001G7QWYO

But whatever you do don't use ear candles as they have the potential to burn you or damage your ear drum....

Thats cool! I work in a pharmacy... Not going to school for it, but I happened to land a job in a pharmacy as the clerk. I get to learn so much stuff... And I didn't know that worked for ear infections. I usually get strep throat... But the stuff drains from my ears to my throat. It sucks lol. But hey, glad to know you are a pharmacist... Be prepared for questions left and right from everywhere lol

Yea this stuff is OTC but its best to get the "generic" or equate/walmart brand as the actual murine is expensive by a few more dollars and the generic works just fine. It's cool lol, I love helping people especially with meds. So how is pharmacy over there with obamacare and all? in lets see its 2.5 year? I've read some interesting things about humana and other providers bankrupting due to it, is it true and does it affect your business?

Well my pharmacy it's a specialty pharmacy. Our patients are mainly HIV positive and cancer patients. Across the street is the cancer center and in my building is where most of the pain med doctors are for the HIV patients. I don't deal with the patients directly, or with insurance... But I do mail out patients medications if they can't come to the pharmacy and get them. Our patients are mainly in the state of Oklahoma... But we can mail out of state if need be. It's quite confusing. But that's all I can really say. I love helping people too. I've helped my mother out the most out of everyone. Just cause I've been working here I've given her more advice about her health than anyone else in my family. Lol. But how does the obamacare effect your pharmacy?

Well Im not in the US so obamacare doesn't really affect me, but I have talked to some people who work there and they have said some hospitals are cutting massive amounts of jobs just to prepare for the lack of compensation for some medicines and also they don't want to spend for insurance policies for that many employees themselves. I read that humana is on the brink of collapse and other insurance companies that peddled obamacare are collapsing or financially insolvent. Patients are really ticked off that their premiums went from 1000 to 5000 dollars per quarter which is ridiculous...It just sounds like a really big mess from what I've researched...also pharmacy employees (pharmacists and techs) are being demoted to part-time pay instead of full time because of the economy and full time employees would get benefits so places like CVS are cutting them back to part time or even rotational so they don't have to give benefits like insurance to employees who don't work enough hours during the week...its really sad to hear....because most said the HC system was not broken but obamacare just blew it up....

If you're not having pain, you can try put a tiny bit of alcohol either on the rim of the ear canal (edge of the opening) or a drop inside the ear. If you're having pain, its probably not a good idea though because it could intensify the pain temporarily. But it is a very effective way to stop an ear infection. I've done it myself a few times.

This is all true. When I worked in a hospital pharmacy I overheard the head pharmacist ask one of the doctors who had just gotten out of a mandatory doctor's conference regarding obamacare what he thought of it. He said it's got him thinking about early retirement. The pharmacist said ,"Really? Its's that bad?" He said, "It's that bad." This was a couple years before it was implemented.

Well, I found a new webcomic (not really, it's been around for 12 years, but it's new to me...) that I'ma perusing. I also discovered a new Dub/Chillstep-group (this one actually quite recent...like...2-3 years recent...) that I've been listening to, so that's new and somewhat fun...though not necessarily exciting.

I keep...feeling like...if I wanted to, all these...comics and anime and...music groups...and whatnot... I mean... I could do that. Seriously... from basic production level (which I'm already familiar with audio/visual sound recording for music, videos, and the like...) to the script writing to the voice acting... It would be a huge investment, but I totally have both the will and ability to produce mediocre level work...

All I lack is a cast (because I can't do all the voices), and an animator (because my skills there are definitely sub-Par), and the time/money it would take...with included dedication from all those I'd have to get involved...

*sigh* Yeah... it seems easy until you start factoring all those things in...

Maybe there are existing groups that are willing to pick up a spare team member which can be useful in multiple roles? Idk...

Honestly, I just have all these untapped abilities that I'm slowly losing because..."Use it or lose it!"... so... I feel like I should be spending my time and talents on something better than playing video games and watching various forms of media... =/ You know?
AsifinPassing: As with any media, first you must have something to say. What do you want to say? Once you identify the message, the form will usually resolve itself. Whether it's a song, a sitcom, a poem, an essay... Whatever the medium of expression, once you identify what you want to express it will probably resolve itself.

Ever heard of a video game called "Dust: An Elysian Tale"? The guy who made that game is a musician. He learned game programming specifically to make that video game. And it's a great little game, good writing, good storyline, etc. But what made the game good was not his ability, it was what he had to say. He used the game to say what he wanted to say.

It is really uncomfortable. Flirtatious men just love to see when women feel uncomfortable specially when you blush. Sometimes I feel offended when too much flirting becomes rude or inappropriate.

Had to go to the doctor's today. It was....rough. Won't go into details but they didn't leave me alone until I was out in the waiting room because I was on the brink of passing out.
