Fred Pete, I hope Teddy continues to improve!
shrift, congratulations on a good interview with bonus porn!
sarameg, my gold crown was about $850 a year ago in CA. I don't know what material you'll be using, but the price of gold has gone up quite a bit lately and that may affect the cost.
The new house starts to get some insulation today, and the painters might start tomorrow -- they might change their plans when they hear the new boiler hasn't been installed and it is supposed to be cold and rainy so they won't have heat. I think we've written more checks in the past two weeks than we wrote all of last year.
Bah. Someone broke some windows at our office last night. I have broken glass all over my desk and chair and whatnot. The police are coming to investigate. Doesn't look like anyone tried to get in or anything.
I'm gonna see if I can score some "Crime Scene" tape from the cops....
Yay, Teddy, with the new kidney! Work right, new kidney of Teddy.
Boo, crime, tommy! I need me some Crime Scene tape to go across the opening of my cubicle.
This si a dumb question: What exactly is a root canal? It sounds utterly horrifying, but what do they actually do to the tooth?
Yikes, Tommy.
I am tired and do not feel like working today. Hmm. Also, I have figured out the problem with the date on our phones -- they are 12 hours off. so right now it says it's 9:51 on Thursday, but they mean 9:51 last night.
Jesse - I did the same thing with my radio alarm. Luckily, it was set so when the radio turned on late Sunday afternoon, I realized my error. (So much better than realizing the error by waking up very late on Monday morning.)
It's my last day at my old job. Frantically trying to clean out my inbox. I am the worst records manager ever.

I don't understand why this has apparently not been noticed by anyone with any control over the phone system.
Go Sue go!
Zen, I think they're actually killing the nerve that goes down at the bottom of the tooth. But I could be wrong.

They drill down through the tooth nerve channels, digging out all the bits that have gone bad. They have to go down through all the roots that go into your gum so they can get everything, otherwise the infection/damage will come back. It wasn't so much the pain with mine as the hours in the dentist chair as he made sure he had found all the roots.
After everything's drilled out, you have a hollow tooth, which needs filled in and crowned so that you can use it again. More hours. Not fun, and I'd think awhile before going through it again, but when you yank a tooth you have to decide between getting a bridge/replacement tooth or just embrace the eventual snaggle-tooth look as your teeth start drifting into the new space.
I just love discussing poop on the office phone.
Our receptionist charged into the office this morning, full of details about how "her girl" (a dog) "had become a woman" (gone into heat). It was way too early for those details.
