Not only I'm stressed due to the flight I'm about to take, but while packing at home I stepped on one of those bubble cushion they use to protect merchandise (it's like a small bag made of very thin plastic filled with air) .

He offered cleaning, with a tool - this kind of ''sand spray '' tool - I don't know if that's ultrasonic ? I guess cause it was pretty loud.. Since I had no drilling and it seemed...

    Theatres/Performances/Laughing and Clapping People

Concerts are a bye-gone and I don't regret it much, I've seen enough and the fear of doing more damage would just kill me, so I'm not going. Haven't even tries a cinema yet. However, there are some other types of performances and...

    Addicted to Ear Picking :/

    I've looked through the forum and haven't found any similar topic. Before T I used to pick my ears a lot. I never had real earwax, just some transparent patches of skin and only sometimes. Yet, it was just pleasant to scratch the inside of my ear and it seems it's normal, it's pleasant to...
