I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

tom, I think you're probably leading in how-we're-all-gonna-DIE posts.

Jesse, honey, do you need an intervention of some sort?

Naw, I'm good. It's just hard having no routine!

Time to stop gifting those alternate energy source researchers with cement golashes!

Back from the dentist with the worst of my cavities filled.

I do love my dentist. He did complete films and exam, and gave me a checklist with everything that needs to be done and the cost for each so that each time I come in I can just bring out the list, tell him what I want that day, and check things off one by one.

Supposed to lay off the diet coke, though. Boo.

By the way, for people who don't have dental coverage, I signed up for a discount plan I found online that costs about a hundred bucks for the year (a bit more if you want to do monthly payments) that sets a flat fee for each procedure. The amount of the discount is different for different things, but overall it can save you a lot of money. Just my appointment today - exam, x-rays, and a filling - was discounted about $95, pretty much the cost of the plan. Totally worth it.

Hey, at least the Energy Bill passed the house. There's $500 million for renewable energy sources in there and $7.5 billion for traditional energy sources. It also opens up AWAR for drilling so we'll have a insignificant source of domestic oil. Naturally, the attempt to raise fuel economy standards was defeated.

Silly oil researchers. Don't they know we're all going to die in a supervolcano eruption?? I watch the Discovery Channel, you know.

If they are really smart, the researchers will come up with a way to harness volcano power to make cars go.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Amazon has a sex toy store. Who knew?

I'm getting the pig!

Who knew?

Oooh! I did!

I've had a toothache for about a month. I have dental insurance. I've yet to make an appointment. Big chicken.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It is a rare, rare dental problem that gets better by itself.

(I had one once -- a pain deep back by a rear molar, and I was certain it was going to be a root canal kind of fix. To my (and my dentist's) surprise, it was a honking big canker sore in the inner portion of the gum, hidden by my tongue.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nicole, my BF is a big chicken as well, and had a toothache which he ignored and ended up in the ER. It also ended up costing us $5,000 to get him fixed up. So, go. Really, cheaper and healthier is better.
