Nothing like a shameless plea for ponies to kill a thread.

I will bury it further by announcing that the dental work on my lower jaw is complete! Four more visits and I will be completely done!

Wow, you really did kill it--for more than six hours. *checks thread title* Of course, when I thought I was reading Natter, I was a little more in awe of that tidbit.

I'm glad you're nearing the end of the dental ordeal.

For me, I guess the fantasy and the "can't really happen in our everyday world" elements do play a role in what I'm able to watch without gasping and hiding my eyes from the screen.

I know exactly what you mean, Nilly.

We have computer network problems so I don't have access to my data, and therefore can't do the work I need to do.

Oh, I hope they clear up, soon.

My slacker "TV Week" guide from the newspaper has The Inside still listed for tonight. For a brief, horrible moment, I thought that my Tivo had betrayed me. Then I realized that the TV Week is _often_ wrong, and I should trust the Tivo. But part of me wanted to do a manual record just in case

I dreamt an Inside episode last night where Mel was describing how Webb & Rebecca's hearts were both all spiky but that they fit together perfectly because of that. And Mel was Webb's long-lost daughter and they sang some light opera together at the end. The perp of whatever the crime of the week was the accompanist.

It was MUCH less disturbing then the last Inside dream I had that had to do with the fingernail biting thing. shuddering still.

Heh. My Google Quote of the day is from RAH.

Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

Awright! There's hope for me yet!

30k in dental work has a way of stunning people into silence, I suppose.

If I have $30K done to my body, I want more than nice teeth to show for it.

Although I hear nice teeth are nifty.

Kristen, you better go back and demand more stuff for your money!

The ability to chew real food without pain is a nice plus.

I can imagine. I'm not doubting the benefits of what you went through, I'm just amazed at the costs.

I bet you can even bite into ice cream bars, too. I was a dental phobe for 13 years, and when i conquered it and had my teeth drilled filled and otherwise repaired, I was thrilled at how much tolerance I had for hot and especially cold things.

It's just that $30K is a scary number.

It means you had some advanced work done. Stuff I hope never to do. And I probably skimmed over the details, if they were provided.

Still? ouch.
