Fell Off the Q-Tip Wagon...

Monday, December 07, 2009

Back in March, you may remember my little q-tip post, where I was making good on my promise to Jonny of not buying any more ear-cleaning q-tips.


9 months later... and I cannot take it anymore.

This has been unbelievably hard.

Harder than giving up Diet Coke (which I kind of drink again, whoops).

I'm not kidding. It has driven me absolutely CRAZY to feel like I have dirty ears and can't clean them. I never get that satisfying out-of-the-shower-clean-ears feeling anymore.

So today, I decided to just buy some.

Enough is enough. I'm an adult, blah blah blah. Right?

So, I texted Jonny:

me: "I got q tips. I can't take it anymore, sorry."

Jonny: "You might as well start smoking, too."


I'll be very careful.

  2. I'm with you! I know they are a no-no, but seriously...how do people go without? Your husband's reaction cracks me up!

  3. forgive me, but I didn't realize this was dangerous to my health? I've used them for forever (don't think I could ever give up that clean feel either) and have never had any trouble. Is my time coming?!

  4. I don't know how you're getting along without them! I have a sick addiction myself. Mark and I have the opposite problem... he never used one till he married me... now, he's totally hooked (oops!). I bet it's genetic... our kids will get it too.

  5. Leslie,
    I don't know HOW i missed your post about Q-tip addictions (well, yes i do- i was not a subscriber at the time you posted about your addiction) but i have the exact.same.addiction. torrent (my husband) made me promise that i would only clean my ears out once a week. i picked sundays to be the day, and i literally, lived for sundays. mon-sat showers were horrible b/c i could not stand not cleaning out my ears afterwards (Afterall, q-tips are like tiny towels for your inner ear, right?!) but about 3 weeks ago i fell off the wagon and have resorted to my daily cleaning. i think it has something to do with the cold weather- it can't be good for your ears to be wet and cold can it? so far, i have managed to hide my relapse from my hubs.... but i have been sneaky! :) anyway, i totally understand what you are going through! happy q-tipping again! :)

    At least in America, there were always people who tried to assimilate the Indians, rather than kill them.
    The six-kilometer walk to the village and back was filled
    with clacking bamboo groves, large feathery ferns, and pungent odors of the jungle hanging
    here and there. He was so lean & fit which had transformed his appearance drastically including
    his now chiseled face.

    I tend not to comment, however I read a few of the remarks on "Fell Off the Q-Tip Wagon...".
    I do have a couple of questions for you if you do not
    mind. Could it be simply me or does it seem like some of these
    remarks appear like they are coming from brain dead individuals?

    :-P And, if you are posting at other online social sites, I'd like to follow
    you. Could you post a list of the complete urls of your social networking sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

    Staying on the subject of loyalty cards for a minute, having numerous apps for different shops
    and services could eventually lead us back to square one in so far as we would have a huge
    number of apps all for just one purpose which would get
    annoying; the exact same thing which annoys us about a bulky wallet
    full of plastic. Subway could have made the jump as Starbucks did in the
    past, which led to disastrous results. If there's no queue, simply stand at the end opposite to the
    till and wait to be served.
