For how long, I asked. Oh, 5 or 6 days, she said.

When Christopher had his wisdom teeth out, the doctor told me to take him home from the appointment and get him whatever he would eat--burgers, fries, etc. He needed solid food to counteract the anaesthesia and she said to have him eat before the pain meds wore off because he wouldn't feel like eating later.

I thought that was sort of cool.

I'm glad your tooth was just an extraction, Steph! At least that was a quick fix.

Nora, love that picture of your two cats in the window seat. You're lucky, though--my cat would have had that crystal bowl and its associated bits on the floor in a heartbeat. She loves to get behind things and shove them onto the floor, which is why I have all my breakable tchotchkes on shelves she can't reach.

Steph I'm sorry you had to have your tooth pulled.

I had my wisdom teeth removed and swished a lot with salt water.

So my day has been interesting, my brake light was going off yesterday. So I got it checked out...and $500 late I have new brake stuff, two new tires, and I also need an alignment and a new CV Axle in a month or so.

Then I come home and I'm on laptop and the montior goes black and white. Everything. The lcd monitor I have set up as a dual monitor is fine.

It's definitely a Monday.

Steph, I'm glad they took care of you so promptly. Sorry it involved those noises. I've hear them too.

Sorry it involved those noises.

I should clarify; I wasn't horrified or anything when I heard them. It was more of a "Oh god, of *course* I'm going to hear my tooth being ripped out! So *that's* what that sounds like...."

It wasn't a particularly fun moment, but it was really just a Huh moment.

Now eating a baked potato all mooshed up.

I am totally lusting after your potato. I don't make them much here because they heat the kitchen so much but I love love love a good baked potato.

Does anyone know how long fresh mozzarella (the kind packed in water) lasts in the fridge?

Wikianswers says it only lasts a couple of days as it is highly perishable. Changing the water it's stored in can stretch that time out but I wouldn't keep it around for longer than four or five days.

I spent the last 45 minutes constructing a playhouse for my cat out of cardboard boxes

Thanks, I just found that too. Sad now. They're from last week, so I dumped them, but I can't believe I let them go to waste. I'm usually pretty good at using up leftover ingredients, but we just had so many leftovers after the family dinner, that there were a few casualties.
