If you all want something uplifting, I have to recommend this music video from a high school in remote Australia, with a ton of aboriginal kids and hopeful inspiring music: [link]

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Consuela, Matt, those were both perfect.

Gud, I have been thinking about TCBITW and you all week.
Laura, I am so sorry.
Here is another fun link. [link] My favorite is the doge dog who just looks so freaking happy to be stuck in a hedge.

...later: suggestions for places to look for nerdy long-sleeved t-shirts for a 10 year old? I am finding a lot of places with kids' sizes (i.e. Thinkgeek) cover infants and toddlers only.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My temporary crown fell out last night while I was flossing. Of course, the dentist's office is closed until Monday. I left a message with the dentist, but who knows how often she checks her voicemail. In the meanwhile, that area hurts and is temperature sensitive. Bleah.

TeeFury, maybe? Also maybe ShirtPunch.

I don't have any advice, Typo Boy. I wish I did. But lots of ~ma in working out the situation. I'm glad your mom is doing better though.

Our wings are not tired.
Sheryl, they do have OTC temp fixes that might help. Check out the dental section at a pharmacy.
I understand, Typo Boy. Insurance authorization is a big deal. If she isn't able to manage stairs you may be able to fight it, but a constant battle. My mom is being released from rehab today although the chest x-ray she had 2 days ago shows she has pneumonia! She really wants to go home, but the multiple times a day rehab is so much more effective than once a week home visits. Frustrating.
