I'd be happy to sample for you, Ginger. Curse this continent width and lack of teleporter!
H just helped me with one of those boil and fit nightguard thingies. I couldn't get it in my mouth until we'd removed about half the thickness. I have small teeth, and I couldn't close my upper lip over it because it was so high it was hitting that little connector between lip and gum. An hour of cutting, smoothing, reheating, paring, carving, reheating, smoothing, and finally! It fits! I'm used to a bulletproof lexan biteplate that I've managed to chew a hole in and snap the end off of, grinding my teeth at night.
This one is going to be fun. I give it two months before I've chewed it to shreds in my sleep. squeaka squeaka squeaka squeaka!
Hi Sox. Any luck with the Marine Engineer?
I don't know--I know the kids have pushed this option a LOT. Did I mention my SiL (who lives next door) is a nurse? My FiL is a good guy, but he is also a big baby who wants what he wants and has no willpower. It's on him for sure, but I've been there and she will make all these fattening, calorie-filled dishes every night. She won't stop buying cookies and candy either "for guests."
meara, I'm reading the latest InCryptid, too.
Update on The Telenovela de Strixy --
Heh -- DH is not communicating with Ex until he has his lawyer look at this promissory note for a settlement she wants him to sign (all mixed up with house mess) and since today, she's put his texts on blast and he's (finally) simply just replied "I can't talk about it until my lawyer checks this out tomorrow," she told him she contacted the mediator. Any judge will look at her like she's crazy if she litigates because DH wanted his lawyer, who was out of town until tomorrow, to look over a LEGAL FINANCIAL DOCUMENT before signing it.
AND -- Um. The mediator only deals with child issues. This is a PROPERTY issue. Empty threat, and NOT. SMART. She's panicking because DH is not backing down anymore and although I am trying to be all Zen with most of my life, I AM LMFAO because? Karma? It's a bitch. She tries to mess around with anything having to do with The Kiddo, and we have enough evidence of violations, including technically legal kidnapping TWICE, to nail her ass to the wall.
She backed down and sent a counteroffer to the realtor, so we MIGHT still be selling the house. But DH is finally going all War Doctor, and it. is. SWEET.
I AM LMFAO because? Karma?
And also because you are party rocking.
Some women just need slapped by other members of their gender. I despise vindictive ex's and other women who take such glee in punishing the men in their lives.
Scrappy it sounds like she doesn't have any willpower either.
It's on him for sure, but I've been there and she will make all these fattening, calorie-filled dishes every night. She won't stop buying cookies and candy either "for guests."
Ugh. On a less-serious level, I am reminded of my one college roommate who knew I wanted to lose weight, but just happened to have treats hot and waiting when I got home from class.
So my mother is starting what I guess is essentially chemo on Thursday for a non-cancer problem. She's going to be at the hospital for five hours. Any idea what she should expect to feel like?

I finished it Sunday. Good stuff, as usual.
