Who has 2 thumbs and 1 less tooth??? THIS GUY!

Wow, I cried, the nice office lady held my hand, I got nitrous oxide (best part of the whole thing), and now I AM PART ZOMBIE. No, for reals: to prep the tooth...socket(?) for the implant, the dentist does a "bone graft," which is a nice way of saying they put powdered bone from a cadaver in your jaw.

I AM PART ZOMBIE. I couldn't be cooler if I even tried.

Also, of all the things you want to have sprung on you "I can extract that tooth right now," is NOT at the top of my list. I really wanted to have time to mentally prepare. You know, so I wouldn't break down crying in front of a dentist who had never met me before.

Good times. But: ZOMBIE!

Steph, I apologize, I haven't mailed that book yet. Have barely left the house in the last week. If you really want a Waterpik, I have one my sis gave me a year ago and I never even opened; I could stick it in the box for you? Somebody might as well use it; I ain't.

No rush on the book; I obviously haven't made you cookies yet. We can slack together! And my dental hygienist yesterday said no to the Waterpik, so I guess I'll have to double down on my efforts to floss. But thanks!

FYI, looks like Tom's tooth is coming out. It is also annoying because he just had a root canal and crown on that tooth which was super spendy a couple years ago (before moving down here, but not that long before). I think his theory is currently, "shoulda pulled that tooth out from the start." (before spending thousands of dollars on it.)

OHAI, my zombie jaw. The tooth I no longer have was the one I had a root canal on in May. I am lucky that all the pain started before I got it crowned, so I at least didn't have to fork over $$$ for a crown that would just get removed. But I'm SO GLAD I got to pay $600 for a root canal I enjoyed for 2 whole months. Woo.

OHAI, my zombie jaw.

Sadly, Steph and I continue to be as one.

Newer doesn't mean wronger. You can have another thing coming if you aren't thinking at all.

Besides, Judas Priest. Are you saying hard rock is not grammatically correct? shocking!

I would never say coming down the pipe. If that was what I wanted to say, I'd say it was in the pipeline.

You have zombie jaw too? WE ARE A MIGHTY ZOMBIE ARMY.

I seriously think the zombie bone graft is cool as hell.

-t, I recognize your tagline. I don't know how I feel about Dora and Tai hooking up. I kind of want Dora and Marten back together.

I would never say coming down the pipe

Why? It's new, and you apparently like those fancy newfangled things, hmm??

Coming down the pike/pipe: [link]

I've never heard it as another *think* coming. The -k sound at the end of "think" and the hard -c at the beginning of "coming" just don't work for me. Clearly, it's "thing."

Thing & Pike! 4evah!
