Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My Invisalign plastic aligners fit over all my teeth, upper and lower. It's a snug, close fit, and when I first put a set in, they're a little uncomfortable (because they're moving my teeth, of course), but it never stops me from falling asleep. A Tylenol is enough to ease to discomfort. I'm not chomping on them, because I pretty much can't, and I feel sure it's helped my TMJ; I haven't had jaw pain in months.

All of which is to say, what do these mouthguards look like, that are so uncomfortable? Aren't they custom-made to fit the user's mouth?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The non-custom one I have is a problem because I bite on it even harder than I do without it -- the dentist said it's because it's soft so my mouth thinks it's food or some shit.

And the pasta turned out DELICIOUS, even with no onion. Mmmm.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I never have onions because I don't like them and they upset my stomach, so I generally omit them from recipes. /datapoint of one

Make that two, smonster! I do keep onion powder, grudgingly and green onions do not irritate as much.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I love onions cooked and carmelized, but I'm not a big fan of raw onions.

I love all onions from raw to caramelized.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If onions could magically not linger, I'd like them a lot more. I hate the aftertaste and the pervasive smell, but like the flavour in the moment.

I'm in Burrell's camp--carmelized onions are a yummy snack food.

Yeah, I only like the cooked onions, and carmelized are the YUM. And the pasta Jesse made looks yum with or without.

I went to this fancy burger place today, and was hugely disappointed--because they put tons of bacon on their bacon cheeseburger, but the one they gave me, the bacon was COLD, and seemed way undercooked. WTF, man? I complained (because I sliced it in half to eat it, took one bite, touched the bacon, and went "oh hell no"), and then because I was hungry, scraped off the bacon and ate it anyway. They brought me more bacon but by then I was mostly done. Hrmph. Not going back there.

My custom one feels like it's moving my teeth at night, but if I wear it for several nights, they seem to be in place or whatever. It does kinda hurt in a "ow it's grabbing all my teeth!" way if I haven't worn it in a while. And if I wake up early in the morning, sometimes I'll take it out before I got back to sleep for another hour or so.
