"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

but that it was exclusively Latino just... bugged me and I can't quite put my finger on why.

Barb, I kind of felt that too. Plus, it kind of took a while for me to figure out what was supposed to be going on. But there was a sort of... I don't know. Something. And I'm trying to think if it would have been offensive if it'd been an Italian-American family with praying or kissing a St. Anthony medal or what have you, and... yes. Yes, it would have been. So there you go.

Er, for what that's worth. Hey, I've already finished three classes' worth of grades. I needed a break!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Furnace guy said he would be here between 8:30 and 9 am. It's 9:30 now, how long before I call him?

The car conversion is going to be fucking expensive, but I think I have all the logistics figured out.

Call him now.

Also - do you guys know of any good websites that define the things listed in a dental benefit schedule of benefits?

Because I'm looking at this list and not really understanding what is what. For example: if you have to have an extraction on a wisdom tooth that broke and is now infected. .. is that a regular, simple extraction? Or is it something that will involve expensive anaesthesia?

I'd call that a simple extraction, sumi. Wisdom teeth are actually easier to remove than other molars. Mine came out without a whimper. Infections, they usually try to clear up with antibiotics before the extraction and a broken tooth, while a little harder to pull, can be done without having to be knocked out. Anaesthesia for extractions is usually elective and you have to pay for it yourself.

ETA: I'm sure there are times when it does get more complicated, but the chances of that being so are negligible.

Sail - you relieve me. Thank you.

I'm not sure why they didn't prescribe an antibiotic. Weird.

If they've already decided on an extraction and it's not causing you pain, I don't think they worry about it too much. My dad had an infected root canal and when they couldn't clear it up, that's when they decided to pull it. But a broken tooth kind of predicates extraction, so why waste money on ABs?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Who wants to hear a knee-slapper???

My ex-boss and landlord just sent me a bill for $1400 of repairs to the apartment!! Mostly, he wants us to help defray the cost for him having to repainting the entire place white. The painting we did that he paid us for. And he wants us to pay him back twice the hourly amount that he paid us to do it.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!

But, since he did not give us the checklist within four days of us moving in, he gets bupkiss.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

He...he wants you to pay him to pay you to paint the apartment? At double the rate he paid you?

Is he on crack?
