Hmm, Burrell. I'm pretty sure I'm not good with sorbitol, though. I'd need to find a brand without.

Hey--did you get an email from me a few days back? It might have been around when you got back from vacation.

Oh and thanks for the brown bear cam! Totes sharing that with the kids.

Also don't close my teeth when my mouth is closed and my jaw is relaxed.

Here's the brand I've tried: link

I'll have to try that. Prozac has made a dent in my anxiety and depression, but I still have way too much anxiety.

I think a lot of my anxiety is related to the political situation here and global climate change. I think I just need to resign myself to us being fucked. Maybe then I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Bummer about the sorbitol ita, but I bet you can find some without it. And yes, I did get the email and thought I responded. Yes was my response, just in case I didn't manage to send it.

Teeth closed isn't relaxed.

I didn't know what goes on in other peoples' mouths! When the dentist asks me to bite down, I always feel like I'm doing it wrong. But I guess that's more due to the overbite than lack of practice.

Teeth closed isn't relaxed.

Yes.

Was that some muffin bluffin', perhaps?

Oh, GABA, I've got some green tea that was processed using nitrogen and that supposedly transforms something into basically the same thing as GABA supplements. It tastes weird, like steamed zucchini, not tea. It seemed like it calmed me down some when I tried it, but, more than having a cup of tea would? I don't know.

Yeah, so, instead of a mattress it looks like we'll be buying an extraction, pulpotomy, and crown for Dillo. (I think insurance will eventually cover most of it, but not for 3 months or whatever.)

That's not going to be very comfortable. I think you should reconsider the mattress.

When the dentist asks me to bite down, I always feel like I'm doing it wrong.

Hah, me too.

There's a play called Lips Together, Teeth Apart. That is my contribution to this conversation.

ita, you were totally muffin flirting with him

Is that like bluffin' with your muffin?

Jesse I always feel weird about biting down too. Possibly because when I put one side of my molars together, the other side is not, and vice versa. If I split the difference then it's just random teeth that don't normally touch, and that can't be right...

Can GABA supplements be found in a typical pharmacy?

Two muffin bluffins? Guys, guys...who do you think I am? What sort of a lady?

But there are two many variables in the muffin workflow to put my eggs in any one basket. I have to play it fast and loose.

There are strawberries in the salsa on my blackened salmon! This is an interesting flavour profile. Unsurprisingly, this sibling in the cafe-restaurant pair is more expensive, but the cafe tends to just jacking up the scovilles to the detriment of everything else.

Anyway, yeah, relaxed jaw means a centimeter and a half or so between your front teeth. Try for a slack feeling, including your tongue.

I did get the email and thought I responded. Yes was my response, just in case I didn't manage to send it.

It is perfectly possible that it's my fault, with the new mail program and the flood of sister-related emails. Sorry about that.

Hey--any Arrested Development fans with any quotes that I could use on a shirt for my sister, or a shirt to wear to celebrate her? I'm going to start watching this weekend, but I want to plan ahead. Her friends are not the sort that plan ahead.

She's having friends come in to the villa from 11am that morning, so I figure we'll wear the shirts for breakfast, or whatever we do before the official lyme.
