There's a brand of support hose--Johst? Jobst? something like that--that are fairly comfortable and don't scream SUPPORT HOSE! You could try those.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

We have a lot of canadians married to US citizens at work. I think one of my friends is planning on getting citizenship (it'll be her, um...fourth? USSR, then Latvia, then Canada) but the other of them is not, for now. She jokes she is waiting until she's done having little US citizens and her eyes stabilize so she can get the cheaper lasik in Canada. But I think that's just a joke. I have a vague recollection that they will still keep you in the rosters if you do certain things, but I have no idea.
I'm trying to recall if all the earlier dental work stung this much. I suspect it did, I'm just blocking. She warned me the gums would be worse, but OW. I also have some weird nerve that pangs where none of the work was done (it also goes numb when the place where the work was done got numbed. So, related. ) Stupid design.

You usually have to be a resident of a province for 3-6 months before you can get provincial medical insurance. But she can have dual citizenship, right? I thought the US stopped making you revoke other citizenships, even if they don't acknowledge dual citizenship.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dental work sucks.
Speaking of Canadians, I got some data today where Canadian was a racial/ethnic category. Made me laugh. I know why they did it (we don't have many Canadians involved, so it's a legit point of diversity to pay attention to), but it was funny seeing it in a pie chart with "european american," "latina/hispanic american" and the other goofy discriptors they use.

It's probably something like that.

Apparently someone involved in a trial down in Texas got in trouble for referring to "Canadians" on the jury, and everyone was like "WTF, there's no Canadians on the jury" and then found out it some kind of code for black people! Which is just...weird.

The goo they use to do dental imprints is kinda cool, I must admit. The first one was pink and minty and came out pretty easily-almost a rubbery wax. The second was the same purple as the gloves they used in l&d, tasted like shoo goo smells and the assistant had to help me open my mouth to get it out. Much harder plastic. That is a bitch to get out of hair.
I'd so love to play with that stuff.

OK, that's really weird. I did go out with a black Canadian in high school, but still.
