'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
could there be some parallel drawn with a non-state of "pre-pregnancy"?
Oh, I tried. How I did try. And got lectured that "pre-diabetes" is a set of parameters that indicate a person could progress to diabetes. (Yeah, but..."could" means that they also could NOT, and if the result is NOT, and they never develop diabetes, then they never WERE "pre-diabetic" because WORDS MEAN THINGS.)
Narrrrrrrrr.

MaaaanSPLAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNN!!!
Is our new piecemeal way really better than false teeth? I wonder. (I mean, I assume that's why so few people have dentures now, compared to my grandparents' generation. Fluoride and whatever has to be part of it, too, I guess.)
I seem to recall reading that keeping one's own teeth into the 70s and 80s has a lot of health benefits beyond the teeth themselves - like maybe some correspondence between full extraction earlier in life and dementia?
At any rate, Dad's stories of having most of his teeth pulled in his 20s left me committed to keeping mine forever if at all possible.
Skipping because, according to the Buffista Calendar, both yesterday (sorry!) and today have Buffistas birthdays.
Yesterday, the 14th, was ChiKat's birthday, and today is sumi's birthday.
Happy belated birthday, ChiKat!
Happy birthday, sumi!
With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
And, of course, short Fridays and lovely weekends all around!
I'm off on a semi-spontaneous solo road trip to Point Pleasant, WV. If I see the Mothman, I'll let you all know.
I'm right here in Somerville, hiding from the cats in my study.
Lordy. There was a child bitten by a coyote near here yesterday. I don't mean to make light (he's going to be fine, ftr), and obviously I am highly sympathetic right now, but it happened while the boy was petting it. I just can't help laughing picturing it.
Held over from yesterday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to I! What did she get, Sox? (IOW, what will I be buying my daughter in 4/5 years?)
Happy sumi day!
Happy belated, ChiKat!
I had actual nightmares last night. That hardly ever happens, I'm more inclined to just waking up scared but not remembering why. And these did not stay with me, particularly, so, okay. But i am not well-rested.
Do we need an animated coyote to tell people not to pet coyotes?

I've been reading back through the COMM thread (on which note, that whole discussion about the guy who claimed that cunnilingus and I think doing housework was emasculating is one of the funniest things I've ever read, and ten years later it's still hilarious), and by coincidence I'd just got to this one: jengod "Coffee On My Monitor" Mar 12, 2003 2:15:39 am PST.
(PS: My sincere apologies for noting that that cunnilingus conversation took place ten years ago. Because really.)
