They'll realign my bite, back to where it was when I first had braces, when I was twelve.

My dad says I will still be beautiful even with braces.

In his completely unbiased opinion, of course.

Dad is smart

Brain differences seen in migraine sufferers

WASHINGTON - People who get migraines have structural differences in their brains notably in the cortex area that processes pain and other sensory information from the body, scientists said on Monday.

The researchers, whose findings were published in the journal Neurology, said it is unclear whether these brain differences actually cause migraines or are themselves caused by these severe, recurrent headaches.

My last name is not in the database. No surprise there, there are 7, maybe 8, of us and one is not in the US. Neither is my husband's and there are a lot of them in South Africa, apparently, but I guess not here. Not bothering to try the hyphenate I sometimes use. My mother's maiden name is #20049.

Bummer on the tooth realignment, Allyson, If I read you right, they are undoin the work of your previous braces? How annoying.

braces aren't so bad. if i can suffer through adult braces for two years, you can do it. are they going to be tops and bottoms?

Ugh, Allyson. Dental crap is, well, crap. Sorry to hear it, but hope it's a smooth as possible.

ita, we are going to be in Westwood very very early, like hugely early. And sarameg prolly won't be with us. I suck at this getting people together thing, don't I?

But if you wanted coffee with us before I start my big Starbucks fast then we could meet up with you in the early AM.

I am hella impressed by Matt's floorplan moving plan. I tried before moving into my last apartment. Measured all the walls and doors and stuff. Yet my furniture didn't really fit quite right. So for this apartment, I just guesstimated.

Monday is my BITCH.

Damn. Go Cashmere.

The Keebler Elves have created a cheesecake filled sandwich cookie and I have declared it of the yum

Is it in the cookie aisle, or the dairy products aisle? Better or worse than the cheesecake filling in a bowl? Than the sara lee cheesecake bites?

My surname is number 8486 in the US. I guess I knew there were a fair number of us, even for a semi-uncommon name. Though I don't know that I'm all that related to most of them. (Picard is more common than me? Whoah)

I have to get braces to correct the bite, or I'll lose teeth.

Dang, Allyson, that sucks. Though not as much as having your jaw broken, I'm guessing.

You know what is bad? It is bad when peanut butter cookies in a pack turn out to be all stuck together, so you have to eat FIVE COOKIES instead of eating one.

signed, tiny crumb-cookie pieces are not as much fun, especially when they find their way into the keyboard.
