Ave Maria is the best aria. It was my Grandad's favourite.

I need to know about the Q-Tips bowl. *)

hello, mah dahlin

yes, the Ave Maria, so soaring, so majestic, i think of my beloved dad whenever i hear it, for dads and grandads everywhere. my dad got me into classical music, that one LP Hooked on Classics was like our Tommy by The Who.

i know, right? she has this very subtle sexy technique with the Q-tip. thankfully i don't need Q-tips anymore, i FINALLY removed that stubborn hard earwax with a tiny rubber green earhorn, that wax was blocking my left earhole like a motherfucker, i can now hear traffic outside i hadn't heard all summer!!! lucky me!!!

love you
