Aw, feel better soon Barb... If I was closer I’d bring you some nice mush. I make fabulous mush.

Apple sauce popsicles are an excellent post-tooth removal snack. Hope you recover quickly Barb!
I'd make Barb some nice polenta with tomato mushroom sauce.Poor baby.
Of course you're good. Why do you think we love you?

Hey Barb, how's your head?
Amber wrote: "My most frequent nightmares involve my teeth being pulled and/or falling out. I need to have my bottom ones out, but I can't bring myself to do it. You're not helping Larry."I had no trouble when they pulled mine. I thought it was going to be a nightmare, but they were out before I knew it. They also gave me a prescription for the good painkillers :) Worst thing I remember about it is the taste of blood in my mouth which made me a little nauseous.
No more lunch break trips to the library for me. It's too depressing to see people in the comfy chairs, leafing through books knowing I have to return to the office for another 4 hours.
Amber, when you say you haven't beat the Harry Potter Lego 1-4 do you mean you haven't finished all the years yet, or you haven't gone back and solved all the puzzles that you need to solve with other characters? Just curious.
At the time of the post, I hadn't even completed the storyline. I just bought a copy a few weeks back, and I've completed the story but haven't gone back and solved all of the puzzles and collected the crests and things.
Just curious. I never know if I'm being obsessive. I've never finished 100% of a game, but I come closer with those lego games than with anything else because it's pretty easy to see what you still need to do on each level. I finished the story line and I'm most of the way through collecting everything else, though there are a couple of spots that seem to have glitches that prevent me from finishing them.Right now I'm almost done with the storyline of LA Noire, though I skipped most of the street crimes. I feel a little like I should go back to them, but I know that it's better for me to finish a game and then put it aside.

But everyone else in my house plays video games too, so I don't get many chances to play. I'm glad you like LA Noire, it's one of the most expertly designed games I've seen in quite a while (and my husband is an obsessive gamer, so I've seen a lot!)
I'm glad you're doing well, Barb. I had all four wisdom teeth out at once when I was seventeen. I'll never forget that I came out of a drowse the next day to the aroma of roast beef and mashed potatoes. My dad put them half and half into a blender and brought it to me in a bowl. A memorable meal.
I only ever had one wisdom tooth. It came out easily. I'll never know the joy of having four out at once.
I still have my wisdom teeth. Whenever I have visited a new dentist he's wanted to pull them out - I don't know why because they've never caused me any trouble.
Barb wrote: "Ruby, you'll quickly learn that it almost always comes down to poop, penis or cheese around here ... and staying on topic isn't something we enforce."Poop, penis or cheese, huh? The worst thing about that statement is that it gives me a mental image of all three at once. Eeuw.

And me. When they took it out, I went home and ate a processed ham stick. It got stuck in the empty hole in my gum and for a brief time I had ham-tooth.
I had all 4 cut out at once. They weren't even close to breaking through, but my insurance was ending soon so we decided to go ahead and cut them out. My youngest is going to go through the same thing within the next month or so.............same issue, insurance ending.I've got all y'all beat!! The only thing our father ever gave my sister, brother and myself was teeth with no enamel. I had 17 (yes, 17) teeth pulled in one sitting and had a set of temporary dentures slapped on my raw, bloody gums within 30 minutes. Eating? HA, I say. HA!
I did promise Larry I would post a picture of my newly painted kitchen(ages ago). Here it is.

Thanks LG. The photo here turned out a lot darker then it was in reality.

Things like that seem to happen here. No wonder we are a bit loopy.

Now that would be a very big surprise.
Now that would be a very big surprise.
Gail, I really like the color--oh well, for you, the colour--on the bead-board wall behind the dining table. I also like the kitchen cabinets--raised panel doors, very handsome--but I'm curious about the wood. It looks just like North American cherry, but does that species (or a similar one) grow in Australia? Or is it something completely different? Anyway, very nice kitchen!
Jonathan the timber is Tasmanian Oak.
Very neat, Gail. I learned something new. Your Tasmanian Oak is beautiful.
That's true! I've always got stuff out all over the place. coupons, bits of the newspaper, mail I haven't dealt with yet, a book, a bowl of miscellaneous items like rubber bands and chapstick, etc
Mod
Well I wasn't going to post a picture of an untidy kitchen. :)
Mod
Sound like the last time I brought organic V-8 juice home in a plastic bottle and dropped in on the tile floor. I was scrubbing tomato juice off walls, the range, the fridge, me, the dog.
My worst kitchen disaster was when I dropped five raw eggs in the refrigerator.
Mod
Come on LG, just power wash that sucker.
Lobstergirl wrote: "I wish I could just take my kitchen outside and spray it down with a hose."It might be easier to just install a drain in the floor.
That's exactly what some of the local landlords do in campustown. Drain in the floor, hose it out before the new tenants move in. Who needs carpeting--nothing wrong with a concrete living room floor!?
Ever done something stupid with your car? I did last week. It was dark when I pulled into my driveway after taking my dog for a walk in the park. I left the car running with the lights on and got out to put my dog back in the fence. I saw movement from the corner of my eye and realized my car was moving. Quick as a middle-aged woman, I leapt into the car and tried to find the brake pedal with my foot in the dark. I hit the accelerator first, then found the brake. Ran over a couple of pots and stopped short of the fence. Disaster averted, but I feel stupid.
Could have been worse, right?Last year my mom ran over herself.
She was a couple miles from home and a paper blew out of her window. She pulled up next to it and, instead of putting the car in park, she simply put her foot on the brake and opened the door to lean out and pick up the paper. Leaning a little too far, she fell from the car, which then rolled over her and continued down the road. She popped up and chased it down, bruised but not broken, and totally embarrassed.
