Yeah
This is the very first time I ever said "yeah" about going to the dentist. And probably the last. But at least I have good company!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Striking Hollywood writers on Wednesday called for a formula for the thorny issue of online compensation that's different from the one studios proposed last week in an effort to end the five-week walkout.
The Writers Guild of America said it accepted the idea of a fixed residual for TV shows in the first year of online use, but the payment should be adjusted upward for each 100,000 streams per quarter.
"We believe these formulas will protect the writer even if all television reuse migrates to new media," the guild said in a statement.
After the first year, the union wants 2.5% of a distributor's gross receipts for TV shows and movies streamed over the Internet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dentist report: no apparent cavities! (the denist will have to look at my x-rays) And my gums were in better shape than last time, although still not great. I guess I should floss all the time, not just the two weeks before a cleaning.
You're welcome.

Wow, I called SC Johnson Glade and sounded like a blabbering, blithering idiot. Maybe it would have been better to just stick to the script. Oh well, I suppose it's the quantity of calls, not the quality.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Here is a YouTube video I found on CuteOverload.com [link] about cute animal solidarity with the writers.
