I'm going Thursday, which seems ... way too soon. But best to get it over with, I guess. First-time appointments always make me feel like I'm auditioning or something.

I still have the cold I came down with last Friday. So tired of it.

Jesse, I have one that my (briefly good) dental insurance paid most of (I think I paid $100). And i don't wear it every night, and sometimes do feel like it makes me clench more. So I don't know if it's muh better than a drugstore one, I never tried that. I just dont want all my teeth to crack and fall out.

I just dont want all my teeth to crack and fall out.

My feeling exactly! I would definitely get it for $100. Stupid mediocre dental insurane. (It's not bad, since I don't pay anything for regular maintenance, but beyond that it drops off pretty sharply.)

Off topic. I have some friends who will be in Seattle late this week. (I won't be in Seattle because they are also coming to my home town, so I'll see them there.) They like sushi and fish in general. Anyone want to recommend some good Seattle Sushi places? Also good fish places in general?

Thanks

ION, dagnabbit. I was going to make this [link] for dinner, but I forgot I don't have any onions! Not even a shallot! And I've already been to the supermarket once today. Bah. Maybe I'll just make it without. I mean, I have all the other stuff.

Related to the dentist, I think I need a night guard, but it's not covered by my insurance and would cost $500. That just feels like an awful lot of money. Anyone want to sell me on it? I currently have a drugstore one, but it makes me clench more, which I understand the dentist kind would not do.

Ha. I have a dentist appt. tomorrow which I think is going to devolve into an argument about my mouthguard. I just got a new one, my 2nd, this fall, because the first one was so uncomfortable I couldn't fall asleep in it unless I was dead tired. We had talked about making one that only covered my front teeth, but ended up giving me another one that cover all my upper teeth. The new one seemed better, but I still have the same problem...can't fall asleep unless I am already half asleep, and I only get 4-5 hours sleep before I wake up and take it out.

It does keep me from clenching, but it's so uncomfortable I hardly wear it. And...one of my teeth I fear is cracked, because it's supersensitive to everything.

Although caramelized onions are yum, I would not hesitate to leave them out of that. FWTW.

Yeah, it should still be delicious, right, -t? I just feel like a cooking failure, because who doesn't have an onion?? This guy.

The new one seemed better, but I still have the same problem...can't fall asleep unless I am already half asleep, and I only get 4-5 hours sleep before I wake up and take it out.

This is my nightmare.

Can someone explain to me why the touchscreen on my phone has stopped working? Not a technical explanation needed, just a karmic one.
