Ok, seriously, people are using live goldfish as centerpieces at events like weddings? [link] The hell?

One of my teeth just broke, a chunk right down to the gum. It doesn't hurt.

Eep! Glad it doesn't hurt, but, that can't be good.

We had brunch -- it started at 11 -- the last guest left around 530/600. Success food and house were complimented. Dh was confused because it was very mellow. He didn't realizes that there was a constant level of food coma/prosecco coma going on.

yay for Erin's second date!

Do you have Vegan with a vengeance , Hil? I like it - it has a bunch of simple stuff.

epp! That's one of my nightmares Windsparrow.

Yep. That and Veganomicon are two of my most-used cookbooks. (Both authors have new cookbooks coming out soon -- one of vegan brunch food, and one of vegan Latino food.)

Is it a good sign that cold water in my mouth is extremely jangly-feeling? It means the nerve's not completely dead, right?

Andi, that means the nerve is sitting up and hollering "What the hell are you doing, host body???"

I literally feel your pain.

It's been 2+ weeks since I got 4 fillings (all on the left side bottom), and they're still horribly sensitive to cold as well as causing a significant jaw ache. Ibuprofen ameliorates both the cold sensitivity as well as the jaw pain -- but after about 6 hours, when the ibuprofen wears off, the pain comes back.

I think it's possibly just that a filling sits too high, and biting on it makes my jaw out of whack. I hope.

So I'm calling them first thing tomorrow morning, because while I can accept that 2 weeks is normal to still be cold-sensitive (the fillings are the "metal" amalgam, and were filled pretty deep, so they conduct temperature very well, and very far down), but I can't accept that I should still be having jaw pain.

I too feel (collective) your pain. I had a crown come loose and then a tooth break partly in the past month. When they refixed the crown while a new permanent one was made it was a little high and it made eating or just, you know, having my mouth closed a pain. But it did settle after four or five days (and then the other tooth broke so I went back in and had them refix it anyway).

Matt feels your collective pain -- His too th pain is back. A friend ( a dentist) thinks he might have a cracked root that is not showing up on film.
