epp! That's one of my nightmares Windsparrow.

Do you have Vegan with a vengeance , Hil? I like it - it has a bunch of simple stuff.

Yep. That and Veganomicon are two of my most-used cookbooks. (Both authors have new cookbooks coming out soon -- one of vegan brunch food, and one of vegan Latino food.)

Is it a good sign that cold water in my mouth is extremely jangly-feeling? It means the nerve's not completely dead, right?

---

Andi, that means the nerve is sitting up and hollering "What the hell are you doing, host body???"

I literally feel your pain.

It's been 2+ weeks since I got 4 fillings (all on the left side bottom), and they're still horribly sensitive to cold as well as causing a significant jaw ache. Ibuprofen ameliorates both the cold sensitivity as well as the jaw pain -- but after about 6 hours, when the ibuprofen wears off, the pain comes back.

I think it's possibly just that a filling sits too high, and biting on it makes my jaw out of whack. I hope.

So I'm calling them first thing tomorrow morning, because while I can accept that 2 weeks is normal to still be cold-sensitive (the fillings are the "metal" amalgam, and were filled pretty deep, so they conduct temperature very well, and very far down), but I can't accept that I should still be having jaw pain.

I too feel (collective) your pain. I had a crown come loose and then a tooth break partly in the past month. When they refixed the crown while a new permanent one was made it was a little high and it made eating or just, you know, having my mouth closed a pain. But it did settle after four or five days (and then the other tooth broke so I went back in and had them refix it anyway).

Matt feels your collective pain -- His too th pain is back. A friend ( a dentist) thinks he might have a cracked root that is not showing up on film.

omnis- if you want to try my amateur dream analysis: What was the overwhelming emotion you felt during the dream? Lately, during your waking life, have you been experiencing that emotion, possibly on a smaller scale?

Confusion, frustration. Then despair that this wasn't a good alternate profession. I've had a fair amount of frustration at work. But it's theater during a recession, budgets getting cut is always frustrating, so, nothing all that new.

and then my friends started ignorng me.

Pix! Bad dream! no cookies for your dreams. We wouldn't ignore you. You are far too loved.

Wind. um. Ouch! I hope it's nothing costly, but I would think a dentist is in order.

Spent the afternoon at bosses place for dinner and Wii'ing. Food was good! I won at golf, and lost at bowling. Ironic, as I am the one who owns bowling equipment, and two bosses are the golfers. Go figure.

um. not bragging. But. I did the clicky clicks, and when the bank transfers go through on Tuesday, I'll be debt free!¡!¡ My move to Texas is officially paid off. So, to celebrate, I got the MLB package on cable. Anyone wanna come over and watch baseball? Also, I'm going to F2F!!!!

Anyone here ever used Ambien CR? I'd really like to stop waking up in the wee-est hours of the morning, and as whined previously, Lunesta isn't performing as advertised. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, and I'd like to suggest something to him that may work better than vanilla Ambien.

There's no generic for CR, but given I've tried Ambien and Lunesta (for which there isn't a generic either), I hope it won't be a problem.

3rd date? You put out. Or is that me?

Hee, Vortex! It is not you. And strangely enough, I now have 3rd date! And an impressive post-date email with gallantry and a bit o' naughty flirt.

I think we're going to get our geek on and see the new Wolverine movie. And then he puts out. Right!?
