Jesse- have you recieved this for Good Things? [link]

Yes! It's on there.

Jesse, would you be interested in some really good photos of the space shuttle flying by for Good Things?

Yes!

Hopefully nobody challenged you on that.

[eta: Unless it was a meeting with the History Channel. Without Hitler they'd all be out of a job.]

Can you post/send me a link to Good things, so I can send it to the people who took the pictures?

[link] To submit: [link] (but please hit where it says "Submit a text post" so you can select "Submit a photo" instead)

Hopefully nobody challenged you on that.

Well, it was just me and one other person, but no, nobody challenged me on that.

I'm currently being challenged on whether Teen Wolf is a spinoff of Teen Wolf. The only way it wouldn't be, would be if Teen Wolf were the spinoff, not Teen Wolf.

Save me from people who feel their opinions elevate to facts, and *all* reporting is rendered opinion in the face of them.

Sean Penn and Madonna don't count as famous? Didn't Charlie Sheen shoot someone not unfamous?

Sean Penn and Madonna do count as famous, true.

I can't even remember which wife or girlfriend Charlie Sheen shot.

In the ongoing stories of Buffistas and Their Dental Adventures, guess who had unexpected oral surgery today? (SPOILER: it was me! And yes, I whitefonted that because I am hopped up on painkillers.)

My former dentist can die in all the fires.

Here is as brief of a summary as I can manage: back in May, I had a root canal at Former Dentist, because I was having a lot of pain and tenderness of the gum around the now-pulled tooth (but way high up on the gumline, basically where the gum meets the inside of the mouth). Then of course that all went wrong, and throughout June and July I still had soreness and pain in the same area. So then in August I had the tooth pulled and I got my zombie bone graft. When the New Periodontist pulled the tooth, she told me that she "cleaned out" (I assume irrigated and whatnot) the infection in the root canals, and I got antibiotics, and she told me that everything would heal and the soreness in that gum area would be gone.

So today was just supposed to be a follow-up with New Periodontist, to make sure the zombie bone was filling in (or growing in, or rising from the dead) the way it should (I won't even get the implant until probably January).

Well, I've still been having soreness in the same spot that's been sore since May. But I thought maybe that was because I had a tooth ripped out of my head and zombie bone put in there, and it was sore because it was healing.

New Periodontist took an X-ray and then said, "Oh, no." Turns out that when Former Shitty Dentist Who Should Die In All The Fires did my root canal in MAY, they LEFT A ROOT IN. Which has been hanging out, all infected and shit, (ridiculously close to MY BRAIN, I might add) SINCE MAY.

So New Periodontist went in and root-canaled it for me. It was easier than a normal root canal, because there was no tooth to drill through. However, it was still goddamn oral surgery, and now I have more stitches and have to eat soft food for a week again. Also painkillers.

New Periodontist didn't charge me for the Surprise Oral Surgery, because she said that she should have seen the root on X-ray before pulling my tooth. So -- FREE Surprise Oral Surgery, woo!

This *should* take care of the ongoing gum soreness. I hope to god so.

Thanks Jesse! Submitted.

Steph that is so screwed up (about the Former Dentist) I'm glad your New Dentist rocks and hopefully this will be the end of your pain.

Maybe you should formerly complain about your dentist to the licensing board.

Seriously. Maybe you should do it while you're still on drugs for the full ranty effect.
