For sj and any other parents out there, here's an article about eagles with a title that includes "parenthood makes you crazy".
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

I am going to take some online computer classes to acquire some more cutting-edge computer skills. Like C# and maybe MS SQL SSAS and SSIS or more .NET stuff. Anyone have recommendations for online computer class sites?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My dentists and hygienists are always very nice people, so I feel bad for hating them as much as I do.

At this point, I want to move in with my dentist. It's not the worst pain I've had (that would be a toss up between gall bladder & the first time this tooth went bad about a decade ago & I came to love a good root canal) but it's fucking distracting and pinchy. I've got drugs, but they'll just knock me flat, so are reserved for if it gets really bad in the next 40 hrs.
I am fearing the tooth cracked underneath because this doesn't have the classic temp sensitivity (because rooot canal!) so I'm probably looking at extraction & implant because it's a backstop molar & I have no wisdom teeth.
And Loki's breath got really bad and I looked at his teeth & he probably needs some pulled too. I made an appointment for him & P next Tuesday.
My birthday is bracketed by bad teeth. Whee?

Our wings are not tired.
Is it wrong that I wonder which is pricier, tooth extraction via vet or tooth extraction via dentist?

Vet is cheaper at cost, but no insurance. But hell, even with insurance, probably cheaper. At least I can use my old 2.5k FSA balance on me. And stop paying monthly maintenance fees.

Ate 4 slices counter warmed cheese on good side, first thing resembling protein today. Bad side cheekbone throbbing. Fuck you, you fucking gold-crowned, root canaled last molar. I will end your tyranny.

Tooth extraction via dentist requires general anesthesia, so it's inherently riskier, but pet surgery is less expensive than people.
Mom's memory is bad. She thinks my sister is one of her sisters.
Well, at least she knows your sister is family? My dad wasn't entirely sure who we were all the time towards the end, but we were familiar faces/voices, and that went a long way. I didn't take it personally, he knew I loved him whoever I was.
I'm sorry, though, Tommy. It's really hard. When you have a chance, you could send a nice card or some flowers to your sister: getting recognition from my siblings helped a LOT. Because that shit is hard.

Um, had all my wisdoms out under local and I know my current dentist does them sometimes in office (though not sure how.) My cats were knocked out for their pulls. Lucky bastards. Cats post druggery was def more entertaining than my own. I just sleep. My cats clearly have psycho entertainment.
