Hmm. Menstruation once a year. But then wouldn’t it last for us to 12 weeks. That would suck. As for the ears, I’d love my dog’s ears. My dog has these great big floppy beagle-like ears that can pick up sound for miles. I always wondered how that would be.

Lol, or the monthly menstruation. Once a year would be enough, really.

Not earwax. It’s the cartilege itself itself that hurts. I’ve gone through a bunch of different pillows trying to find one that won’t compress the cartilege against my skull, but no luck. And my stupid ears still ache.

I watch the cats’ ears while they’re awake and while they’re sleeping, and I think, “THAT’S a practical design.” Up out of the way for lying down, mobile, flexible, and big enough to scoop sounds pretty well.

As for childbirth [wince]… yeah. Women were definitely not in on designing THAT process.

Of. Of male entities. That’s what i get for editing what I said and not re-reading it before I hit submit.

…and the committee on labor and childbirth was composed solely by male entities.

Lol, I always thought that ears like wolves would be so much handier. You could swivel them around to hear what you wanted, but not ours. I feel your pain, mine does that sometimes. Mine used to be because of the pillow I had, so I bought a new one.

That sounds like you got a lump of earwax in there. My mother had that 2-3 times a year and always got a professional cleaning at the ENT’s (which is less of a hassle in a country with some semblance of health insurance, I admit).
