Scrappy, you might see if the sinuses are causing the tooth pain. I was once having terrible pain in a tooth and had actually scheduled a root canal; the regular dentist had x-rayed the tooth and commented that my sinuses were full, so I tried using the equivalent of a neti pot and that pretty much eliminated the tooth pain.

You may have something more serious, but check the sinuses first ... you might save yourself some pain and hassle.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

eating too many cookies to get rid of the box is 100% in the spirit of Shrove Tuesday, no?

Yes!

Ugh, sciatica and also tooth pain. Sympathies!

I am thinking Popeyes for lunch.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Nothing for Shrove Tuesday here. Maybe I will make pancakes or waffles for dinner tonight.

I made breakfast for dinner last night (yum!) but am now a little sad that I can't really justify doing the same thing tonight.

I have to write my self assessment by end of day Thursday.

Somehow I must find the fortitude not to copy and paste the shrug emoji 100 times.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What happened to those guys who used to running around hitting politicians with pies? Can we bring them back?

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.

Scrappy, may you be on better terms with your skull soon.

I've been having twinges of what sounds like sciatica pain - rarely bad enough to even bother with aspirin - so when I saw on Facebook that Steph L. had liked or shared or commented on an article on a dozen or so exercises to do if you have sciatica to stretch and strengthen your piriformis (? did I get that right?) muscle, I decided to check it out. Most of 'em, I just don't bend that way. There was one whole exercise that I could do. So I have started doing it. Two things: 1) In the two days since, no twinges; and B) the interior of my butt muscles are sore and I blame Steph.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ha! The piriformis is literally a pain in the ass. It can cause unholy hell. So anything that gets it to behave is a godsend.

I was just thinking that, Dana

I think Eureka centering a whole plot around deodorant is still the bar-setting example of product placement.

I'm sure I've seen every episode of Eureka, and I don't remember this!

As far as TV product-placement goes, I always got a chuckle out of Subway on Chuck and every time they go to Target on Jane the Virgin.

Well that sounds awesome.

Target makes so much sense on JtV. And Chuck did make me go buy sandwiches at Subway, so mission accomplished.
