Well, it's been planned for a while. They just wanted to give my mouth a break for a bit after all the massive work (buildups) was done. So I got to not see the dentist for a whole 10 weeks (after 5 months of seeing them a whole lot) !

Still will have another 2, possibly 3, to go. So far, I may be avoiding root canals.

It'll get done. That's all I really care now.

Oh, no root canal. I'm having my 2nd root canal/crown this Saturday.

ION, spicy hot V8 is pretty tasty.

BUILDING A MCDONALD'S RESTAURANT
People are willing to walk for seven minutes to get to a McDonald's. That's why you'll find McDonald's restaurants a 14 minute walk apart in downtown areas.

hmmm... don't think I buy all the rules, but still interesting....

Not around here, they're not.

Yeah, the more I think about it... I figure it's really about three minutes (if there's other places nearby).

Around here, people don't walk from one store to another in a strip mall.

I did not mind the root canal so much as the wisdom teeth pulling, to which I have to say, never again.

Anyone had keys cut recently? I was wondering how long it took and how expensive it would be.

a couple of minutes. Usually $2-3, depending on the key.

Not that recently (a couple years ago, maybe a couple bucks at __-mart?), but provided there is actually a person capable of working the damned key machine, it hardly takes any time at all. Minutes. Most of my time has been spent trying to find the human who knows such things.

oh yeah. I found a little mom and pop lock place that I go to now.
