This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Oy, msbelle. I am so sorry. That sort of emotional chaos is so painful for everyone. I wish there were something do-able to fix it immediately. But that's not the way it goes.

Oh, Rebecca. Parenting is not for the faint of heart. I'm sorry this is so rough.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, msbelle. That's so tough. I wish everything would be calm for you and E.

I have a hivemind question about dental stuff: the other day, Tim thought one of his teeth was loose, and then decided it was just the crown that was wiggling around. (He called the dentist yesterday to get it re-cemented, but they're closed on Thursdays. He didn't just ignore it.)

This morning, the crown came off -- with part of the tooth in it. He says it doesn't hurt. (This is a tooth that had a root canal years ago.) He called the dentist first thing this morning, and it turns out they were closed all week, including today.

My question is, since it doesn't hurt and there are no roots left to be infected or anything, can he wait until Monday, or should he go to an emergency dental place? Is there any harm to a broken tooth just hanging out until Monday? He'd much rather see our dentist than an unfamiliar emergency dentist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why do tooth problems requiring quick dental work seem to occur on Fridays or the weekend?

Right? Dr. Google seems to think it can wait until Monday, but Dr. Google never went to dental school. So I don't know.

My gut opinion is that Monday is fine. Is your dentist office open today? Maybe call and ask their opinion? Though, they will likely suggest the emergency dentist to be proactive.

Six days til I sign papers and seven days till I get possession. I'm making lists of what to take on Friday which will be clean everything before moving things in on Sunday.

No; they've been closed all week, including today. I suggested he call the endodontist who did his gum graft, just for an opinion, but Tim said "It doesn't hurt, and I'm keeping my tongue away from the sharp pieces." Okay then.

I'm pretty sure I had a wait a few days with a broken tooth, the first time I broke one. As long as there's no pain, it should be fine.
