sometimes I just want to shake her and say "Do you think I MISSED THE PART WHERE I'M FAT?!?

Although I hate long messages on my answering machine, now that you mention it, it is perhaps all for the best that there wasn't a live connection.

I'm glad the BiL thing is working out relatively well, Cash, and hope DH gets fixed up quick when he sees the doctor.

There is some middle ground between gently encouraging and voicing concern with your loved ones and being horribly critical and naggy and making someone feel like shit.

I know that this can be tricky, so I hate to be too harsh, but every now and then...

I'm lucky in that my family can take it if I flip out and lose my composure with them--usually screaming I understand my own faults and shortcomings without having them pointed out to me by someone who loves me but hates said shortcomings.

We've all managed to come to an...arrangement.

Has anyone else here had sinus problems that seem to affect the teeth? It sounds reasonable to me, if a little weird and hurty.

Oh, I'm right smack in the middle of the very thing. It sucks big wang, but it's just sinus-y stuff (vs. abcessed teeth/tumor/alien in skull).

Or maybe he has a dental problem affecting his sinuses. Could be, though.

He was just at the dentist a month or so ago and there weren't any problems. It seems to clear right up after he takes a hot shower and it came in with this nasty rain/cold front. So I assume he's at the mercy of the barometer and the muccous membranes in his skull.

Yes. I actually went to the dentist one time, because I thought I had a tooth problem. He said that the root of a tooth actually touched the sinus cavity, which was not a problem physically but which explained why I felt the pain in my teeth.

And that's how I know -- I have an alien in MY skull!

What is even happening?

Cashmere, I've definitely had sinus problems that hurt my teeth. You know what helped a little bit (beside the shower, etc)? Flossing. Weird. On the other hand, my roommate had recurring sinus infections and it turned out she needed a root canal.

Minor blockage, yeah. His last stress test was only a few months ago so there was only minor blockage. It's just genetic with him, mostly. Except for him needing more cardio exercise--he's doing everything else pretty well. It was an early warning, to be sure and one that he's taken to heart (figuratively and literally). They're putting him on a medication that is supposed to increase his good cholesterol--which appears to be his main problem.

I'm so glad this was one of those helpful, painful episodes, given his genetics.

Cindy! I just watched the Diwali episode. "All right, this isn't Lord of the Rings. " HA HA HA HA HA.

Sunil, wasn't it great? Mindy wrote that episode. And see, I told you it was with love. Those were actually her parents who played her parents. I thought of you, the entire time.

(And she looked so beautiful all done up in her sari, etc., better than she looks, Westernized).
