I think some of you need mental floss.

By the way, has anybody here experienced mild, moderate, or severe hearing loss at any point in your lives, temporary or not?

I've had the flu the past week, and my ears feel funny ever since. They feel plugged somehow, and my hearing seems to have been reduced every so slightly, it seems...

The worst thing that can happen to a JW fan is probably total hearing loss!

[Stefancos]

my hearing has been shit all my life.

[Chaac]

I'm in the same situation with the flu, a cold remained afterwards and I can't hear much on my right ear. But the doctor told me it should go away in a week or so.

[Josh500]

You serious?

Why? Is it a genetic thing?

I'm in the same situation with the flu, a cold remained afterwards and I can't hear much on my right ear. But the doctor told me it should go away in a week or so.

Well, I can still hear pretty well actually, but they seem clogged somehow...

And that's not ear wax, because it started with the flu!

[Stefancos]

Genetic?

[Josh500]

Well, you said your hearing has been shit all your life. What do you mean?

[Stefancos]

Maybe but in my childhood i also had a lot of tympanostomy tubes placed. Now my eardrums are fullbof scar tissue.

[Josh500]

And you still have (some) difficulty hearing?

[Stefancos]

Yes. And in my left ear i have a small cavity in my eardrum that wont close.

[Josh500]

Well, sorry to hear that. And there's nothing medicine can do about it?

[Drax]

Nice hearin' from ya, Carlos!

[king mark]

Ah, but Stefancos how can you differentiate the sound quality of various JW releases

maybe your sinuses are temporarily clogged, or you have an ear infection

[Docteur Qui]

I eat junk, smoke, drink and take recreational drugs on occasion. I worry about my health, but I'm having too much fun to do anything about it. Plus, feeling guilty about it often makes me continue the bodily abuse. I know shouldn't wait until something's wrong to change my lifestyle, but I have weak willpower.

[Stefancos]

My hearing is less then average. But It's not like i'm deaf...

[Josh500]

Yes, probably--hopefully.

But the thing is, I've had the flu many times in my life, and my ears have never felt quite like this before. Hell, I am getting old.

The fun lasts until the doctor tells you with a grim face that you have been diagnosed with an early-stage cancer...

Sure, it doesn't need to happen, but why take the chance? It's your life, and you've got only one!

[Koray Savas]

Exactly, so live it like every day is your last!

I don't understand those people who go all out to stay absolutely fit, we're all gonna die. Live a little, eat that cheesecake!

[Stefancos]

How old are you? Do you have kids?

[Blumenkohl]

See I don't get that eat a cheesecake nonsense anymore. Being healthy feels better than being stuffed fool of sugar unable to breathe. It's not about torturing yourself with cardboard flavored health foods...it's about maximizing feeling great. Moderation...not torture. Eat that cheesecake....but get a run in as well before. You'd be surprised how much better a cheesecake tastes when you've burned energy and are genuinely hungry.

You have to get healthy to realize what you are missin out on. Only then can you come back and tell me doing whatever you want to your body all the time is living a little. It's not. It's miserable. Been there done that.

[Stefancos]

I agree.

you should always use mouthwash, even if it is just water with a bit of salt or peroxide. If you don't floss at all at least this will help especially if you rinse for a good 30 seconds or more. When you spit you'll see all kinds of debri you've loosened up. And you should brush once when you get up and once before bed at the least. I like to brush after particularly spicy meals.

Remember a clean smelling mouth is much more appealing to kiss.

[Josh500]

Sorry, but you sound like a dude who has not much in his life worth living for...

You make it sound like eating that cheesecake (or hamburger, or pizza, or whatever) is the greatest joy in your life.

Yes, we're all gonna die. The question is, you wanna die when you're 45 or 85? Don't you have loved ones? Parents? Kids? Wife or girlfriend?

[Stefancos]

Nothing wrong with a burger, pizza or some booze on occasion. As long as its not your main source of nutrition.

Bacon tastes so good, i cannot believe it is bad for you...

[Chaac]

Not a fan of bacon.

[Stefancos]

You Jewish?

[Chaac]

Nope. I just could eat a ton of that and still be hungry. It's like eating paper. So I avoid it.

[Koray Savas]

Calm down people, I'm not saying stuff your face every day. I was specifically talking about people that won't touch anything remotely unhealthy.

No, I'm not saying food is the greatest joy in life, but it is one of them. I love trying new and interesting foods. And I'd actually rather die in my 50s than 80s.

This.

[Stefancos]

You wont say that once you hit 30

[Josh500]

Or once you have kids!

A soulmate!

[Stefancos]

That much is certain.
Why does everything that feels or taste good eventually kill you?

[Elmo Lewis]

Because you don't tend to abuse whatever feels or tastes bad.

[Stefancos]

Carrots or sprouts cannot kill you, whatever quantity you consume.

[king mark]

I eat junk food like burgers and a Pizza slice but I never order the fries. It's not much better but it's less carbs and doesn't make me gain weight

[Pasi Tiitinen]

Burgers and pizza are sometimes ok, I also quit the fries( it's impossible all over the world ; "you got also the fries free if you take the meal")

From fast food I prefer the Kebab: I'm not sure you have it all over the world?

[nightscape94]

I exercise 5-6 times a week. I eat to live, not live to eat. We go when we go, but I want to live my life feeling healthy, with energy, and bieng mentally and emotionally strong.

[Josh500]

Pretty much, yeah.

[Chaac]

I never cared much for my diet but I'm starting to avoid cereals, specially wheat, and I'm eating more fruit and more meat than before. My ideal food, at any moment of the day, would be "dead animal + salad".
