I need input from the Stunthusband, other LotR geeks and freaks and jewelry mavens.

Emmett has become obsessed with getting replicas of the Three Elven Rings. I'm seeing some dodgy looking near-misses out there. Which ones are the best? (most accurate to the movie/prettiest)

In later years he had a uvulectomy...as did the last boyfriend. I've always been curious to know if that really works. Had no experience of either of them post-snip, so could not ask.

I have a friend that had that -- along with some other stuff. LONG Recovery -- verdict the sinus scrapping -- should have been done years ago. the throat stuff painful. However, no more snoreing and sleep, beautiful sleep. Except when her DH or the bulldog snore too loudly. Her Dh says it is pretty amazing.

I been reading about the squid all day.

I'm in a lot of pain tonight, but I'm really sick of the way the painkillers make me feel. Trying to decide whether to try just Tylenol and Aleve tonight, or go for the stronger stuff.

Do you need to do anything tomorrow? Do have anything to distract you if you aren't sleeping?

Nothing I need to do tomorrow. There's some math work that I ought to do, and I'd planned to go grocery shopping, but if I end up doing the math on Sunday and going to 7-11 to buy some frozen burritos, it's no big deal.

Oh, and I just bought a few magazines, and I have the internet and the TV for distraction.

Then it might be worth skipping the heavy duty stuff

STOP. THAT.

Uh-oh - is the teleporter malfunctioning again and duplicating people instead of transporting them? I thought MM and Clovis were going to sort that out...

No, Clovis and I figured out that MM and SH would end up in a giant I AM THE BETTER EVIL OVERLORD dance-off or something, thus leaving myself and the Devilbunny room to get on with our plans.

My mother is all worried about what I'm going to eat in Maine. She somehow thinks that, although I manage to feed myself the entire rest of the year, I'm going to starve from lack of vegan food in Maine, even though we will be renting a house with a kitchen which is within walking distance of a tiny grocery store and easy driving distance of a few supermarkets at at least two health food stores. I've also pointed out to her the vegan items on the menus of nearly all the restaurants we usually go to.

I AM THE BETTER EVIL OVERLORD dance-off

We need to film that and show it every, oh let's say Arbor Day.

Good luck with the painkiller skippage, Hil. Sucks that you have to make that choice.
