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.

What's the difference between Chuck Taylors and Chuck IIs? I mean, besides price.
From way back, I think the Chuck IIs are the ones for old people (like me!) with more structure and support for the feet.

Argh, that's what I meant, but I typed "dentist" instead of "vet". You are correct.
I hope you get some pain relief, sarameg. Tooth pain is the absolute worst.
Tonight I watched Ant Man because the dog needed something on to hide the noise of the fireworks, and also I caramelized onions for onion soup. Turns out caramelizing isn't so hard if you put the dutch oven over the very lowest setting, and just stir the onions every twenty minutes. Takes a while, but I had a movie to watch, it was fine.
... wow, there are a TON of fireworks going off outside. I had to crate the dog, she was climbing all over me.

I ended up putting some benedryl in peanut butter for the dog. She actually slept through much of the fireworks.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We went to an amazing fireworks show last night, but I couldn't not think about all of the scared dogs and people with PTSD.
