It's a gum thing. I have like a cyst on both sides of one my teeth. One has been there for like four years but wasn't doing anything. Just showed up one day and never left. Unfortunately, the other one showed up during my 6 month check up and now it's raising all sorts of red flags and they want them both removed to see if its benign or cancerous.
I've had a cyst before in my mouth but it was on the roof and they wanted me to try steroids before surgery. It went away but now I have these two on my actual gums.

Mod
Same, I'm hoping it is.
Mod
I remember someone driving me when I had my wisdom teeth out but it wasn't like I couldn't drive myself. I was pretty much fine after that - just the top half of my mouth was numb. Definitely couldn't when I had my gallbladder out. Then again, my entire family was there lol

alright ill add it and start it rn, ill be done within 4hrs :)
If OjoAusana is going to be done in 4 hours we should start talking about which board we are doing next. :)
I'm good with whatever. We could randomize them and pick whichever one comes up first. Or, since there are six, roll a die and that's the one we pick.
That sounds good. I don't think anyone board is easier than the other so randomized sounds great. ^_^

Awesome. I counted and we have enough banked books for 1 round but it's fitting them in...

Hi guys! Sorry I’ve been MIA lately :/The sicknesses going around finally caught up to me and also the busy of the holidays.
Luckily I have some vacation days through the rest of the year that we’re already planned so I can use them to recuperate and READ!
I’ll write my review of My Lovely Wife now so I can post that one that I have outstanding still :-)

It’s posted! I feel so terrible for holding us up I’m so sorry!! 😐
And yes I’m fine with board 5, I will work with any of them.
Also I finished another book today
which I need to rate and review so we can use it.I’m half through both
&
and will definitely be making more progress now that Christmas is past and I have time off from work. Not to mention when I’m sick all I feel like doing is laying around so that works for reading...
I think we have enough we can go ahead and say board 5.
