Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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?

Well, the bill is actually for FOUR TIMES an hour what he paid me to do it, but he said I could pay $20 an hour.

Well, I say you can pay $0 per hour. You choose.

Morning, All!

Well, I didn't manage to post two days in a row, as I'd hoped - but twice in a single week feels like a personal best right about now.

Oy... you don't have any air conditioning vents in the floor, do you, GC? I mean, I had a friend and all he did was name his black cat Lucifer and then call him Lucy and the cat would get revenge by peeing in the vents.

I shudder to think what Lucy would've done if adorned with a pumpkin hat.

Along similar lines, this photo album killed me: [link]

No AC vents in the floor. Though they look miserable in the pix, they were actually quite mellow and patient with it. My old kitty, Josie, wouldn't have let us near her with that hat so I was kind of expecting them not to let us do it. I think Casper and momo are too young to know better.
