Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
so I head for my car after I stop for breakfast this morning, and there's a trail of liquid leading out from underneath. I should have stuck my finger in it to see what that liquid was, but The Nile Cruise seized me and I got in and started the engine, praying I wasn't about to go up in a ball of fire. I obviously didn't, but there are slightly different clunky noises among the other clunky noises. When I leave tonight I'll investigate the oil and the radiator. I hope it's not the radiator, we just had a new one put in.
Bah. Sometime overnight my jaw popped partially out of joint, and now I can't get it back. Am waiting for my dentist to call back to see if he can do anything. Else maybe I can find an orthodontist.
edit to add whitefont....
A very funny commentator on the Salt Lake Tribune (the "liberal" paper here) went to Burning Man.
It's funny and touching and the commentary gives me hope for the area.
Bah. Dentist said there's probably not much he can do. He said usually things should go back to where they belong on their own. Also said to try applying heat.
Yikes, tommyrot!
Hooray, Kate!
Ouch, tommyrot! Are you stuck with your mouth open? That happened to my jaw once, and my mouth got stuck open. My then-boyfriend couldn't stop making snide remarks. It finally slipped back into place on its own.
Are you stuck with your mouth open?
Nope. I've had that happen a number of times but not this time. Right now it's out of joint on one side, so my jaw is further forward and to the side of where it usually is.
Chewing is very difficult, so I think I'll be on soup and oatmeal diet until this gets better.
A muscle relaxant might help, if you have any handy.
Yeowch, tommyrot. My jaw used to get stuck open from time to time, and it was just a matter of sitting it out until I could get it back into place.
I'm wearing the sheer-backed white blouse with a shelf-bra cami top, and I guess I just have to get over the self-consciousness. I may have to administer chocolate.
I am faced with a spreadsheet full of data that I just can't make make sense. Must uncross eyes. I may have to administer chocolate.
