Ear Candling-would you do it?

Just experience ear candling, after being persuaded or was it conned into it. I had seen the advertisment on such service whenever I was at the mall or at the reflexlogy center but never have the courage to try it until now. It was not my intention actually, but out of curiousity I enquired about it. well they said curiousity kill the cat. How true. Before I knew it I was lying down and they have long tube insert into my ears and started to light up the other end . The whole process took about 45 minutes or so and I was shown cut up of the tube showing what appear to be wax sucked up from my ears.  Since I was not too sure if it really work I decided to google on the subject and here are some contradicting articles here  and here.  
so what do you think? was it a bad idea??

Oranges and Calcium

Funny just strolling at the mall, one can end up buying something.  I did not intend to shop anything today. My visit to the mall was just to settle my utility bill at the post office which was inside the mall. As I made my way down the escalator I  passed by some stall which was having some promotion  and one of the stall was promoting vitamin c. The sales girl was offering sample drink of the vitamin and since I was offered it was not polite to turn down the offer. Soon she started talking the benefit of the products and before I  knew it I was at the counter with a pack. Maybe I am just too soft and does not know how to say no.  Anyway I would not say it was a waste of money as I had intended to buy this product after hearing it so often on air. It is call Ca-C 1000 sandoz. It is suppose to be a combination of vitamin c and calcium in a single effervescent tablet, which means we do not have to take two different kind of tablet. Accordingly to the  flyer I received each tablet contains the equivalent of 17 oranges and one glass of milk.  It is so easy to take just drop one tablet into a cup of water and drink it down.  I hate taking tablet and pills so this suite me fine. Since I am at the gym most of the time and the classes I attended are in an enclosed area and without ventilation, one is bound to catch a flu easily in that kind of environment.  It is better to play safe,so I am taking my vitamin c daily to built my resistant. It's no fun having a running nose.
