sanctuary! sanctuary!
Did you guess that this post might be about something ringinggggg? Ah. I thought not....
So...not too much discussion about the tinnitus thing in the post below.
I'm curious...is it because none of you suffer from it or you just don't have anything to add? No stories about how Great Aunt Victrola had rangin' in her ears and it made her drool and swat all about her head like a loon?
Hmm. Okay.
But I am seriously having more problems with this blasted ringing. ARGH! I DO have to thank God that at least my headache is MUCH better!! *WHEW!* The ringing, though...it's still here. And still LOUD.
I read how caffiene can make it worse, but I really haven't been drinking a lot more of that lately. I NEVER take asprin anymore, ever since the diagnosis way back in the olden days. I don't subject myself to loud noises. Remember, I tend to be pretty sensitive to sound.
So WHAT THE HECK IS MAKING IT WORSE?!?!?
*sigh* I just dunno.
Tommy has an appointment with Dr. K on Wednesday for his CDL physical. I'm thinking I might go with him. *sigh*
I mean, if I just bust in there with him for his physical and cry and carry on loud enough, he can't just turn me out in the street in my sad condition.....can he???? CAN HE!?!??!?!?
I guess we'll find out, because unless this is lots better by then, I'm going. He'll HAVE to throw me out because I can't stand this much longer. The Stuper Bowl is going in the next room, the dog occasionally yaps at me, someone will hoot over the TV or the computer back there...and the road noise--the occasional loud vehicle I hear...all these noises are going - - - but I still hear the ringing, screeching, trilling...whatever....and normally, it'd be drowned out by these other noises.
*sigh*
We still don't have the network thing worked out. Despite having consulted 2 techno-geek types from Tommy's work, one he used to work with and our Japanese-American friend who we can hardly understand but who laughs a lot at anything he undertands us say, and a very detailed flow-chart drawn on the back of an envelope showing the supposed way things should be...
Nothing works.
But we can all share the 'net....and so we can all talk to each other without really talking to each other, we have installed a certain instant message jiggy on all the computers.
We've had a blast sending silly stuff to each other. Corey sends recordings on his. Tommy has been repeatedly freaked out and amazed by various farting noises I've sent him. I think it makes him feel...y'know...in his element or something. I have had a blast setting various pictures like this
to him.
*heh heh*
Acourse, then he started threatening to find his own kinda pix, as if the world isn't flooded with that stuff constantly anyhow. *huff* So...*sigh* I had to stop being mean.
But really....can you blame me? *wink* Can I help it if he has SUCH a nice face? *sigh*
*ahem!* 'scuse me while I wipes the drool off my face. He's the one celeb crush I've had ever since Remington Steele! LOL! Gah! How long ago was THAT????? Sheesh.
I know what you're thinking.
And NO! I haven't been drooling over those pix and THAT'S what's making my ears ring.
Sheesh, people. Let's be realistic here!
*heh*
Happy Week to ya!
Comments
*so not commenting on the picture thing*
wow, that ringing must be really annoying! And distracting! It's not physically painful, is it?
I say go ahead and storm the drs office!

i've had occasional ringing, for only minutes at a time and HATED it. I can't imagine it never going away.
I hope you get it fixed. (hugs)

I think you gals are right. It's still really loud this morning. :( I think this will only tend to make me even MORE edgy and jumpy and IRRITABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*ahem* See?
Seriously. I can't stand it this loud ALL THE TIME...I plan on piggybacking Tommy's appointment. He can double bill us if he wants. I don't care. THIS MUST STOP!
*heh*

Ringing in the ears? Oh, yeah, I hear ya! no pun intended.
My ears occassionally ring, but it only lasts a short while then I just have the usual buzzing thing. "tinnitus" or something like that it's called.
I did ask a dr. about it once as I was also having weird balance problems - all ear related y'know. Warning: there are apparently about a bazillion causes of tinnitus, so all they can do is rule out big ugly brain tumors and such.
As I'm no expert, I just prescribe gazing at pictures of Pierce. Won't make the ringing go away, but it'll make it more pleasant, perhaps.

ahhh, yes indeedy, Abby...there are a bazillion causes (they thinks!) of tinnitus.
I'm hoping the doc might gimme something to minimize the psychoticness of the constant noise, tho. I read about masking devices and (yeah!) valium, etc. to help calm the nerves.
*sigh*
One thing's fer certain...your prescription is good for what ails ya.
No matter what! LOL!

Aragorn would whip Remington Steele 007's butt with one arm tied behind his back. Now there's a man to drool over. {swoon}
Posted by: K & , | February 6, 2006 09:48 PM
Oh, dear little Kymmi....you poor child. *tut, tut*
Pierce was hot when Viggy was in diapers with strained peas smeared in his dimples.
Now, granted, ARAGORN is a total babe. But honestly? I haven't seen him in anything else that floated my boat. Meaning, I 'spose, that it was the character he played that made him attractive.
Not so w/Pierce. Even when he plays a bad guy, he's irresistible.
;)
Viggy is merely a petal on the wind. *whoosh* Gone.
Not my man, Pierce, tho. He's to swoon over at any angle.
HA!! (now why'd you hafta draw me into this battle of the beefcake?!!?)
*blush*

I suppose it's too late to get in on this conversation...
But, I'm sorry about the ear thing. Did you get any help from the dr?
And we just saw Laws of Attraction. I have to agree...Pierce is pretty HOT!
Posted by: Jennifer | February 7, 2006 07:57 AM
Ahhh, yes. Laws of Attraction. That one was pretty good. Been awhile since I saw it, but I seem to remember being a little disapointed w/the way it ended. Hmmm?
The Thomas Crown Affair was on TV a few days ago. LOVE him in that one...altho I'm not crazy about the whole theme of the movie...but he is just GORGEOUS!
*sigh*
It's embarrassing how crazy I am for that man. LOL!
And here you thought I didn't have any hollywood boyfrans....
*pththt*
Whur you been, btw?!?!?!

I can't relate to the ringing thing...Thank goodness! That must be so uncomfortable. But I gotta say those pics are 'drool-worthy' *grin*

LOL! Andrea...that's a great word-combo there.
DROOL-WORTHY
I like it! Heh.

Uh...G, dear you misread my post. Didn't say a thing about Viggo. I said Aragorn. Viggo who? And Aragorn was in THREE movies not just one. Ha.
Pierce is kinda goofy. He was ruined in Mrs. Doubtfire. Totally ruined.
Battle of the Beefcakes. LOL
Posted by: K~ | February 7, 2006 11:25 PM
I never watched Mrs. Doubtfire. Why would I wanna see RW done up like an old lady?? It just never appealed to me. Altho...I did see just a small bit of it when it was on TV. And that was the TINY bit where My Man was shown...
Still...the overall gist of the story just didn't appeal.
He has SO many more movies that are just great, tho...
Around the World in 80 Days (never was there a better Phileas Fogg!), all his 007's, (altho I'm not crazy about some of the content--but was there ever a better Bond EXCEPT for Connery?) and Thomas Crown Affair (questionable content again) and Dante's Peak, After the Sunset, Grey Owl, (haven't seen this yet, but looking forward to seeing him in the role! LOL!) Evelyn, Detonator (? content again), Robinson Crusoe, etc., etc., etc....
You gotta get Blockbuster Online, girl! LOL!
