Dead As Lizzie Borden's Father

This board is as dead as a Tiger's game. What, you guys didn't drink enough over the weekend? Tolerance League get a hold of you? Drank too much and can't focus? I got 3 more work days and I need something to do. So POST dammit.

It's my lunch time though I don't feel like eating. I drank a fifth of Beam last night and I'm in a world of hurt. I wish I drank during lunch. Oh well, only 4.5 hours until drink time.

I just re-read this. I meant Detroit Tiger's game. But come to think of it, Tiger's game is sucking this year too.

I was in an airplane, broke, and paranoid about crashing.

But I'm dizzy from whatever the hell happened to my ears. Does that count? I almost fell out of my chair from dizziness. It's like being tanked without the fun of being impaired.

I haven't been on i awhile. And I made the mistake of not drinking last night and feel like absolute shit today. I think I have an anti-hangover.

I use ear plugs when I fly. I've had what you've got. Chewing gum sometimes helps (I know you're supposed to chew while in flight), but it might help you now. And drink water. I added that because that's what everybody tells you when you don't feel right. So drink water.

How'd you manage that?

That is because your Eustachian tubes (passages that connect the ears, nose and throat) are blocked confusing your cochlea (a division of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear of higher vertebrates that is usually coiled like a snail shell and is the seat of the hearing organ and centre of balance co-ordination). This could be because of the effects of the changes in cabin pressure during your flight, or an infection that you picked up (probably due to the recycled nature of air aboard an aeroplane). Either way it should clear up in a few days.
In the meantime, drink whisky. It won't help but it will make you feel better about being ill (and it's not like your balance will get any worse).

Once again, Dr. Palinka to the rescue!

I'll be sure to take two drams and call you in the morning.

I tried to tell the wife to let me take Xanax for the flight, but NOOOOOOO, that's not helpful. Apparently my changing colors and nearly blacking out was a much better alternative. :roll:

Free medical advice!!! Hey Palinka, why do my hands shake in the mornings, and what can I do about this boil on my butt?

Because you are terribly polite but can't bring yourself to give people a kiss as a greeting.

I imagine many doctors would be happy have a look at that for you. Some of them may even pay you...

Don't try this at home, folks. I have been specially trained.
