Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

It's been snowing all day here. As long as it's clear by Tuesday morning I don't care.

The inconsolable baby quieted down the minute daddy came home, and the childless people are exhausted.

Someone reassure me that my own babies won't hate me if I can't walk them around all day.

Now tagless for your comfort.

sj, I promise your babies won't hate you if you can't walk them around all day. Really.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think Atlanta is largely shut down.

Not entirely -- I'm sure the fencing tournament S was at earlier in the weekend is still going on. They're about eight miles underground at the convention center, and anyway the sport is run by sociopathic Eastern Europeans...

Thanks, Cashmere. Now can someone tell me the trick to having enough energy to deal with a teething infant with a cold.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Speaking of teeth...

I think it *is* a tooth. Finally today I'm having serious pain when I bite down, and it's pretty much located in one tooth, way in the back. I'm obviously not a dentist, but it looks like there's a crack in it.

So, uh, how bad is root canal? Is it horrible?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Brandy. 1. For the parental units/caregivers - it is a very efficient fuel. Honest. 2. Rubbed onto unhappy gums, it is a traditional (if lately frowned upon, but hey, it didn't kill me or turn me into an alcoholic) remedy. 3. Also a sip or two works as a cough suppressant.

The worst part of a root canal is having your jaw open for that long. Load up on advil before you go and you should be fine.

Really? I always hear horror stories about horribly painful root canal procedures. And I've gotten most of my fillings with NO novacaine, so I'm not a big wimp when it comes to dental pain. But -- this tooth hurts so much, I don't want the dentist to even *touch* it, so I can't imagine that the whole root canal dealie would be pain-free.

Also, I need to stop reading things on the internet about root canal surgery.

What she said. And the relief from the local alone is just wonderful. I was able to eat that evening (mushy stuff, but temps no longer hurt.) ETA: get the local. Seriously.
