Stay safe, Fay.

Shir, the one I had taken out had been so badly infected and swollen that I could not open my mouth for them to take X-rays. I was pretty out of it that whole day. The next couple days, I was still taking the pain meds, and pretty out of it from that, but after that I was ok. I wonder how much faster I would have snapped out of it if the was not the infection. If I were in your shoes, I would do my best to schedule the procedure on the last day before the weekend, because then there would be the weekend to relax and recover.

stay safe Fay!

Shir, good luck with the dentist.

Happy Thanksgiving USAistas!!!

Good luck, Fay.

Shir, I had four wisdom teeth out while I was at college. They were pretty imbedded, so the dentist had to grind them out. Or so I was told—they knocked me out for the whole thing. I had it done on a Friday, downed painkillers over the weekend, and I was able to get by on ibuprofen by Monday. Crunchy foods were out for a week or so, but if you're looking for an excuse to live on ice cream and pudding, this is an effective one. I hope the extraction goes well for you.

Okay, so I went to the little corner store to buy sugar. It was closed. WTF? Remember that a friend lives nearby, will amuse me to call and ask to borrow a cup of sugar. Go home to call friend, can't find cell phone. Call from home phone, get no answer (she's probably screening since I never use my home phone). Get in car to drive to store. Get to store realize that I've managed to dunk the garage/building door opener into the glass of water I have in my car (I have a saab, so the key goes next to the seat, right in front of the drink holder) The little light won't go off.

Buy sugar without incident, get home, make cake, it's in the oven. realize that I won't have time to frost the cake before I go to my mom's house because I was so behind with the sugar saga. Feh.

Sad sugar saga.

Bring frosting, do it there.

Daniel is wise. And people who don't annoy you get to lick the beaters!

Fay, be safe. Thoughts are with you, candle lit.

Happy Thanksgiving, those who observe it. I'll be spending it with in-laws, in between hours-long drives. On the plus side, I'm not cooking, and there will be leftovers!

Popping in briefly to say Happy Thanksgiving to my beloved Buffistas! I hope you have a safe, happy day no matter where you live. I am very thankful to have you in my life.

Beverly is wise.

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating. Happy Thursday to everyone.

My father just came in, looking rather confused, and said, "Mom said to ask you where the sudoku knife is."

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Buffistae!!

I've got one thing left to do before hieing over to the daughter's, an asparagus mushroom puff pastry. Then, a stop at Starbuck's on the way for foofy coffee. I'm taking a bottle of Fernet with me, it will be interesting to see what the family thinks about it. I've told my dad and brother it's sort of in the same family as Jagermeister, which they don't care for. Heh. More for me, then.
