I have a turnip shaped like Mother Teresa tied to my head.

I get swimmer's ear all the time and I never knew this! This is so handy, thank you Katie.

Sure! My sister swam competitively, and I never did learn how to do a forward somersault in a swimming pool without getting water in both ears. I never did like the sensation of the alcohol, though, because I guess I am kind of sensitive to that sort of thing? so you could do what I always try first and lay on that side to try and drain the ear.
But yeah!

My friend got me on 'tea' which is tablespoon fresh lemon juice, one teaspoon chili powder, one crushed clove garlic, one tablespoon honey, topped up with hot water to make a mug. I guess it the same idea, throw some things that have some folklore healing properties and/or make you feel like it's doing something and add hot water. The main difference being here in Canada people have good taste and decency?
michaelicious:
I think those are the ingredients for one of those "cleanse" things that people seem to be doing a lot lately.
Slick:
Man so I am such a silly old man you mentioned something tangentially related and now I am going to tell you my one anecdotal experience with a 'cleanse'.
Basically my housemate went on a cleanse and I was like 'wtf retarded but whatever I'll support you and bake sourdough bread even though you weren't interested in it before hand and guess what IT'S STILL got yeast in it even though your cleanse-sheet says 'no yeast' whatever'.
And then my housemate had no sugar or things with flour or yeast for a month and she is also a vegetarian so she was eating not well at all and then at the end of the month she celebrated our new holiday in Canada, called Family Day, by making a bunch of 'special' pancakes and covering them in syrup and eating them.
Combination weed/maple syrup after a month of totally depriving herself led to us going to the used bookstore and her fainting.
Just, like, I mean, fuck holistic health practitioners. Like, if you can't stand up to the scientific method you ain't got nothing. Also saying 'maybe you have this so why not try a cleanse anyway' is just salesmanship and you know it.
The fuck, man, the fuck.
Also you can't cure allergies and you know it.
BrittanyMarie:
green tea with honey and lemon juice. and whiskey. The old wives' tale of it was something like well green tea has all these antioxidants and the lemon is acidic so it'll take the gunk off the back of your throat and the honey is soothing and the whiskey gets rid of the germs. It's probably all bunk but it tastes pretty good and my throat does feel better (even sometimes without the whiskey).
