Peeps! I get my braces off tomorrow! Wasn't supposed to be until this coming Monday, but they called and said my retainer came in today, and they can fit me in tomorrow. Twenty, twenty, twenty- two hours to go... YAY!
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Oh no! Now I'll have to stop calling you Iron Fang behind your back.
Or, Tinsel Teeth. Or Brace Face.
All of them, out the window!

I dunno, I kind of like Iron Fang. It's fierce!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
retainer
Learn from my mistake.
When I was a teenager, I wore retainers (top and bottom) for twelve months. That summer, on the flight back to the U.S. for vacation, I took my retainers out to eat dinner, failed to put them back in afterwards, and fell asleep. When I woke up, my tray-table had been cleared, and the retainers were gone. I had to go back to the galley and search through all the trolleys of meal trays to find them.
But I did find them. Whew.

Oh, my lord! Glad you found them, but... not a fun task.
Ooh, like a komodo dragon! Or a beaver!
I know!

Up front: I’m fine, everything is ok. I went to the ER last night. I had sudden excruciating abdominal pain that caused muscle spasms that made it feel like my ribs were going to snap. Nothing showed up on a CT and X-ray, so they gave me a bunch of meds for acid and other stomach issues.
Because of all this, I learned that morphine doesn’t really do anything for me, and I am big mad about that.

Does that mean laudanum is no good?! The betrayal!

I think I've had the junior version, Atropa, enough to make me feel like I shouldn't laugh at congresspeople who think gas is a heart attack.(It can feel like that.) glad they didn't find anything serious. the morphine/laudanum news isn't what I'd picture either, -T.
