Why he so unfriendly? So wrong, and yet so funny. :)

While I like the concept, I'm a little unnerved by the announcement that the postmodernist ministries are funded by the megachurches primarily. Because the megachurches, in my opinion, are such gargantuan, megalithic worship structures, who rely on such offensive and underhanded tactics to ( Read more... )

Oh, wau. That is totally amazing. And within the cost range--since I'm currently contemplating how much it would cost me to pull everything together to sell them as mini-kits to the fluffy set portable-needs practitioner. :)

I'm rather saddened that Cat didn't make sure that you had something edible before going out...

I don't suppose there's a can of corn or beans? Peanuts? Something to give you some chemical energy...

Any fallout from the landlord? And what happened with the heave-ho?

Here's the thing about Cat and I where I shoulder part of the responsibility for this. She would have made sure I had something...had I said anything. I'm big on not saying anything and not "burdening" people. See, I talk more about my life here, online, than I do in the real world, in person--part of why I wanted her to sign up for a journal and read along, but it's not her gig. :)

I don't suppose there's a can of corn or beans? Peanuts? Something to give you some chemical energy...I broke into my stash of energy bars. So I had two for dinner, spaced out at seven o'clock and eleven o'clock, and I'll take my pills soon, and drink a large glass of water, and go to bed. I'll ask Cat to bring home something for dinner tomorrow, so I won't have to worry, and plot out potentially going to a food bank or something. Because part of the trouble as well is this is June--a great deal of foldable green goes into birthday presents in June, and ( ... )

And the heave-ho didn't happen, because said roommates lost the bid on the apartment.

Argh! All that work and they still didn't get it...so much for fewer mouths to feed. :( Damn that sucks...

I wonder if someplace sells food that does online wish listing...you could stick a bunch of things on there and whoever's feeling generous/has money could order you some goodies. :)

Oh, ha. S'pose there's always Safeway.com. And if we're feeling really strange and creative, I could toss my wish list from Amazon into my userinfo, they've got an 'edibles' section.

Problem with that is, it's generally upscale edibles, which is hardly the point. :)

Doesn't necessarily have to be a dentist. We have a local guy who does teeth, and there was a guy in the Boston/East Coast area who did the ones I currently have. (The local guy is going to make me a new set, in exchange for Cthulu and the Cthulettes. My old set is good, but worn.)

Look around and ask around. You might find someone, and it will probably be less expensive than finding a dentist who will make fangs.

A makeup artist/craftlike person will run you $40-$65 for a single set of fangs. (Full plates, double fangs, etc will run more because more material and more time. H's halloween/Mad Hatter teeth have a $140-$200 value- we got those for the Necronomicon.) I've never left the dentists office for less than $150.

Yeah, but you, and the link above, are also thinking caps. I've been musing on the idea for several years now of permanents--of having dental reconstruction on the fangs I used to have, which got ground down due to extreme calcium deprivation the first time I went vegetarian (back in the bad old eighties, when everyone in my circle of friends was thinking, well, tofu and brown rice, the occasional salad, that'll be fine, right?). Considering my original fangs were small, not big overdone clodhopping VISIBLE FROM SPACE jobbers, and considering it's an idea that hasn't left my head for, oh, over a decade...at some point I'm going to break down and find a so-inclined dentist and discuss the possibility.

Until then, I'm not sure I want caps--most of them don't have great stay-in power, and the rest won't pierce if they do stay in. :)

Mine won't pierce, but they will stay in while I gnaw. :)

I've got slightly large canines, but those won't pierce either. So I figure I'm not loosing anything with the caps. :)
