I'm surprised at the advice the Internet is giving me about swelling after the tooth extraction (these are websites of dentists/oral surgeons, not yuhazdentalproblems.com) -- for the first 24-36 hours, use ice, but then after 36 hours, use heat for swelling.
I thought it was one outlier bad dentist, but then several sites said it (and it wasn't all a copy-and-paste of the same site, either, which you can see sometimes with medical advice).
Does that sound right?
I bravely ventured forth to the grocery store -- bravely because it's 92F out and very sticky. But I came home with ice cream (technically ice coconut milk, OK?) and lemonade bars and other good stuff, so life is better.
Next I'm finishing up my work-from-home for the day....
FWIW, Teppy, I've been advised to use warm/hot salt water, and have had plenty of extractions, so.
I've been rinsing with warm salt water, but using a warm compress on my face was just something that didn't sound right (versus using a bag of ice).
Someone needs to take away my Costco card. I came out of the store today and couldn't fit everything in the trunk because it was still full up with stuff from the last trip. Oops.
What impression did I ever give that I care two shits about metal music? Seriously, have you not been paying attention to my severe lack of related fucks and knowledge? If it's not Alice Cooper, likely I know nothing of it, and rather turn elsewhere for grammar reference.
It's not the metal thing: it's the gay, leather thing. Which, because I'm me, I just assume EVERYONE knows and cares about.
It's why I'm a verb amongst my work friends. Err.
I introduced my parents to the phrase "hot as balls" today.

My sistah! I have to stay away from Costco unless I have a very specific list, otherwise, I'm eating brown rice for 3 ''months because that 10 pound bag was such a good deal.
Yay Jesse for moving success! (Although I suppose a yay! is in order for widening your parents' verbal horizon.)
YAY for moving. Oh man I wish I was there to get you settled.
I think I found a home for the kitten!!
