Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

OMG, Noah's getting SPRUNG SOON!

I'm just insanely excited that soon he'll be adjustable (and sister Grace, too). I mean, right now the noodles are what? -6 days adjusted?

Some dude sitting outside the caf today looked totally like Noah, 30 or so years down the line. Same crazy hair.

Also, IME, the main pain connected with having root canals is a sore jaw from having to hold it open so long.

They are cautiously optimistic I might not need root canals (yeah, that's fucking plural. Go to your dentist more frequently, people! Especially if your teeth go dramatically to crap in a couple of years and you get it fixed and then play ostrich for much longer. The only good news is whatever crap systemic thing happened, it's only doing in the select back molars. The other teeth were marvelled at for immunity, especially in light of the mess of the rest. Whatever.) Won't know until they're in there, though. If it is, well, dental planning will then take primacy over financial. I just want FIXED. My xrays and the visual inspection don't make that clear. I will have to advise them it might be wise to install something to keep my mouth open. My last, long-ago dentist ultimately had to do that in order to do anything for longer than 5 minutes. I start reflexively biting down after that.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yayayayayayayayayayayayay, NOAH!!!!!!

Totally. Make sure they give you the little brace thing, and I'd take some advil or something ahead of time. But the actual event shouldn't hurt.

(ETA, probably want to avoid aspirin because of the bleeding issues.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

yay Noah!

My dentist has movie goggles that I wear - I watch a DVD while he works - honestly it makes all of us happier. I have never made it more than half way thru a dvd - so that should also be reassuring

YAY Noah!!!

There's a lot of sleaze and porn in the NYC M4W ads, IME

Huh. The DC ones weren't bad, I was skimming through them and there were like, two or three I would totally respond to if I were into that. The girls? It's all "Cum suck mytitties 2nite!!"


sarameg - Jul 03, 2007 5:37:27 pm PDT #6266 of 10001

I'm totally all about the advil. Also, ipod. I can zone out to music. Even for a couple hours (estimated time they scheduled me for.)

Hooray for Noah!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Huh. The DC ones weren't bad

The NYC M4W have a whole lot of disembodied penises.

1) its a little gross
2) some of the photos are clearly professional porn and likely not the guy placing the ad
3) there is NOTHING in them to indicate scale.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had to scroll down QUITE A WAYS to find a penis picture just now, but luckily, it was Actual Fucking, so.
