Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Theo, please tell us that you'll at least be able to bite through thick steel cables like Jaws from the Bond movies afterwards!

flea, that is such insanity.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Theo, did you laugh in his face or wait until you were in your car?

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

Dang, Theo! Um is right.

Ugh, flea. The more I hear about this whole thing the worse it seems. So so bad. Does mr. flea know how his personal path is going to go? Continuing good wishes for the water position

Who the heck has that kind of money, Theo?? Dang. I’d be like “cool dentures or soft food it is”

Flea that sucks so bad. Everything is awful. Ugh.

It's set over a period of a year or so. He wants to do an implant bridge over the missing front teeth (two broken stubs to come out, and then more bone buildup, then the implants and bridge.)

That's about half of the work, but the immediate stuff is $6K

I'm afraid it is rather a platinum level practice.

And it is still less distressing than what Mr. Flea and others are going through.

It is distressing in a different way but distressing nonetheless! Sending you all kinds of dental~ma finance-fu!

So, we have been advised that we no longer have to badge out to exit the building. Not really an update I was expecting, but okay. Curious what's behind that.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

That's a little puzzling. If you don't badge out, the firefighters will think you are still in there.
