I just spent several minutes trying to figure out why buffistas.COM wouldn't let me in. Clearly, it's been too long even with intermittent lurking. Catching up slowly. Very slowly, I guess.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am boneless! Bone-free! Deboned!
I was convinced it had become infected and I would need antibiotics before they could do anything with it, but it was actually so painful because the bit of bone had broken loose, so it was poking its pointy end into an open wound.
The oral surgeon said "I bet I can get that out with topical anesthetic and tweezers", and they brushed the site a few times with a q-tip and the anesthetic, and just brushing the q-tip across pulled the bone out.
Now I just have a little wound in my mouth which should heal quickly. I'm relieved.

That's awesome, Dana! Or, if not awesome, at least the best possible outcome of an un-awesome situation. Yay!

Happy Deboning!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Help!
There's this old friend of mine--we grew apart in high school after I got a girlfriend and sort of blew him off. I haven't talked to him since, except we've gotten in touch recently on FB.
He's sounding like he'd like to rekindle the friendship, but I'm not sure if I want to after I saw him post something in support of that Duck Dynasty guy.
So now he' s noticed a boy on my flickr page that looks like me and he's asking if he's my son. (It's Max, so he's right.)
This should be fun...
edit: OK, waiting for sound of a head exploding, somewhere in NC, I think.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Um, good luck, tommy?
Oh, yay, deboning, Dana!
Jen! Glad you found the side door! How you been?

Thanks. I don't think we could be friends now, so I don't care too much. Except I hate confrontation.
Huh, he finally messaged me back. He replied to a comment I made about my '59 Lincoln and ignored the comment about the sperm donor thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, Dana!
Huh, tommyrot. People from the past, you just never know how that's gonna go.

Punishingly Intricate
they said they didn't provide tape for their own boxes (I knew they didn't for the random other boxes, but not for their own flat rate ones??)
My post office always does (have brought boxes to ship and forgotten tape multiple times). There are also always fast-moving lines and the staff is always polite and cheerful so maybe it's a freak operation.

Yay for quick and easy deboning, Dana.
Hi, Beverly! We don't intersect enough online anymore. I've missed your words.
