Poor little girl! Dunno where she is now - outside, somewhere. I
notice, though, that she stayed in the kitchen long enough to empty her

The "yee-hah" probably just reminded her that her bowl was full and her
tummy empty.

Just feeling a bit under the weather. I'm blaming the ex-tooth, even if the
tooth-yanking was Wednesday and this is Sunday. Or it might actually *be*
the weather, it being somewhat hot and humid though sunless.

I looked at the site once with the volume on and got quite a shock. Of
course having got a shock reminded me I was hungry, so it's possible.

Have you been doing the saltwater rinses like a good patient? It's
supposed to keep you from getting those annoying slow infections.
As for the weather, yuck.

Still hot and headachy, me and the weather both. Lucky the mad rush at work
is over. For now. The lack-of-tooth is still somewhat uncomfortable, but
getting better.

We had some lovely thunderstorms last night - a really REALLY *BIG* one
crashing out immediately overhead. Loudest noise I've ever heard. But
instead of being fresh it looks as though today is going to be very
muggy.
And no, Sally didn't think much of it; she scarpered off the bed and
legged it downstairs to hide under the sofa. Which is when I found the
rearranged frog.

Nope, different ones. The parts of the second were later artfully

There is still the possibility of a last-minute panic, but it shouldn't
require long hours. Although, since I'm taking today off, I will have to
make up those long hours somehow.

No, but I'm learning to tolerate it. I think it was Geep's suggestion of

This one sounded like a giant mouse. Being summertime, by morning it
already stank to high heaven. I found the big bits, but the pong still
lingered so I had to open up all the doors and windows, blow the house
through, and then track down the odds and ends...

My office-mate (who lives in north London -- don't ask) didn't admit
to a thunderstorm either, but there was certainly one here -- just a
medium-sized one.
Could do with one tonight -- still pretty warm in here at 1 am.
A Magee
We had a humdingeringeringeringer yesterday afternoon. And I say that
advisedly. Overlapping thunderboomers, punctuated by explosions (or what
sounded like explosions), high winds, and oceans of water falling from the
sky. Well, not falling exactly. More like the world's largest high pressure
washing system.
Didn't last very long, but it knocked out the power in parts of the city.
As I discovered when I found Sobeys jammed to the rafters with customers at
a time when it is almost always almost empty. (The power was out in the
Stupidstore and the other supermarkets on the other side of the river, so
everyone came to Sobeys for their pre-holiday grocery-buying panic.)
I was kind of annoyed because I wanted to go to Stupidstore for their no-
name fudgesicles, which are yummy.

Good. Lack of tooth isn't pleasant - I've got one which isn't quite

My mother just having endured that, I can tell you more about that
than you wanted.
Once the tooth is extracted, you can't eat anything acidic for 2 weeks
(including citrus and tomato products)
Eventually, they check up on how your jaw is doing. Then they can
drill a big metal rod into your jaw. Heal again (= limited diet again)
After a few months, your mouth has healed over the rod they put in
your mouth, so they go and unheal it for you.
Then they screw your false tooth onto the rod in your mouth.
You guessed it. More healing, more pain, more mouthwash, more
abstention from TF.
They say it's still preferable to false teeths.

If you were a dentist, you would nod sagely and make remarks about how
lucky we in the US are to have such great dental care available to us.

That's odd, because most dentists these days favour keeping teeth in; presumably
on the premise that once a tooth is extracted, it's no longer a potential source
of revenue.

I used to have a cute dental hygenist, but she's moved to another practice and
I've not go around <read: summoned up the courage> to making an appointment to
find out how cute or otherwise her replacement is.
The cutest dentist I've ever had (not, sadly, in the Biblical sense) was a
strapping Aussie wench, with bronzed skin and perfect teeth. She had the usual
dentist's failing of expecting me to engage in conversation when my mouth was
full of various bits of metalwork and numbed with anaesthetic.

Yep, Lexuses (Lexi?) are pretty popular. But so are M-Bs, Beemers,
Porsche Boxsters and those Audi TTs (which I have to confess I like).
For some reason, Lexus seems to be the one that gets tossed out most

All of my dentists have been private, and the best ones by far are in
the California practice. They actually pay attention to what you say
and explain what they're doing. And they are happy to give enough
novacaine to dull the pain, unlike a childhood dentist who most
definitely did not.

I'm far too demure for that. Also, it takes a certain optimism to
believe that any encounter with Cute Dentist could possibly lead to
anything beyond a bit of visual entertainment, even if he's not
married. An optimism I can't even comprehend.
Here's a scary thought- in a way, I enjoy going to the dentist. Now, I
could do without paying nearly $1000 per year for the priviledge, but
at least I get an hour where I can sit back and do nothing guilt-free.
And there's less guilt, pressure, and difficult instructions than at
the hair-cutters'.

Perhaps that was a factor. It's hard to place what the exact cues
were, especially since he didn't talk or even have time to disable the

I saw a very beautiful young woman on the Piccadilly line yesterday. She was
blonde-haired and blue-eyed, so may have been German, but had rings on two of
her toes, and I don't think Germans go in for that sort of thing to any great
extent. She really was gorgeous.

>AOL. My childhood dentis had no notion of using painkillers.
Mine did, but they never seemed to work too well. In my late twenties I
got a gum infection upper jaw front. The gums drew back, exposing the
dentine and I began to get cavities there with a couple of years. This
meant considerable drilling and that white paste stuff being applied
strategically. No matter how much I told them I seemed to be damn
immune to the novocaine, nor how much they pumped in, it used to hurt
like hell every time.
Over a period of years, moving about a lot as I did in those times, I
had four different dentists and it was always the same.
Finally, arriving here; after the dentist had given me three separate
shots, leaving time between them for them to really take hold and yet me
*still* practically leaping out of the chair in agony, he decided to try
a new tactic. Two minutes after the jab I couldn't feel a thing and I
had my first ever pain free dental work.
Brilliant!
As he explained it - whenever they work on those front teeth they aim
for a particular spot where two nerves come out through the bone. The
left one goes to the left side of the jaw and the right one to the
right. Simple enough - but the thing is that one in a thousand people
have those nerves *crossed over* !! So when they wanted to work on the
*left* of my jaw they'd *actually* be hitting the darn nerve for the
*right* - numb that side fine, and then essentially be doing the work on
the left with virtually zero pain killer! No wonder it always hurt.

I do that too. And I clamp my hands onto the chair arms. (When I had my
first root canal, the dentist said "Just raise your hand if you want me to
stop for any reason." I told him I wouldn't be able to let go of the chair
arm. He thought I was joking.)

[1] He wasn't actually my childhood dentist. My mother (and possibly all
mothers at the time) had no concept of regular dental checkups, so I only
ever went to a dentist once during my childhood. I vaguely remember being
told to count backwards from 100, then waking up with 8 fewer teeth [2]
than I had when I went in.

Having the top of one's head rubbed with her breasts is a major

I can vouch for that. My (now sadly) ex-dentist was absolutely
gorgeous. My admiration for her went up and up as I discovered
her work was unfailingly good and painless. (I suppose having
someone reach into your mouth and remove an entire tooth without
the use of anything other than finger and thumb, and with minimal
blood loss would impress anyone.)
My admiration for her dropped like a stone when she decided
not to do NHS work any more, and that if I wanted further
treatment I would have to pay a regular monthly fee that adds up
to far more than I'm prepared to pay. Needless to say I'm on
the look out for a less commercially-minded dentist. A shame.

I used to share a house with a chap who drank tea every hour,

You're supposed to keep your eyes tight shut. Keeps the bits of silver

Of course if you're not looking, you don't know when the bad things

I am totally with you on this, but most Seattleites seem to think that
"tea" is some pale yellow, caffeine-free swill made from pouring hot
water on a bagful of herbs.
