birthday question.
My birthday is December 15. If you have been following the show (!), you know that every year I ask a birthday question. Here is this year's question.
Have I ever taught you anything? Or, to put it another way, is there anything you have learned from me? It doesn't have to be a specific skill.
A sub-question: Is there anything you are good at ( Read more... ) -
dental update
The implants on the upper left (numbers 13 and 14) are done!
I have asked my dentists to give me an estimate for ALL OF THE DENTAL WORK I need. This includes four (perhaps five) implants, as well as crowns and cosmetic procedures. Keep you posted. -

On this, the first day back at work after Sandy, I went to the dentist. He X-rayed my LL and, yes, Number 21 had a cracked root. And an infection, as it turned out.

But it will have to be coated with some kind ( Read more... ) -

dental update.
The dental updates are going to be thick and fast now, because I have decided to throw caution to the wind, spend a lot of money I don't have, and make a plan.
Today I went to the implant dentist. You see, Number 29 (which had been root canaled years ago) has a cracked root. It needed to be extracted. Thus, another implant in the making ( Read more... ) -
wow, not many things.
Bold the ones you have and use at least once a year, italicize the ones you have and don't use, strike through the ones you have had but got rid of. (Raye's addenum: things in plain text with no change are things I simply don't have and never did ( Read more... ) -
the end of the sno-ball project.
Back in late June, I took it as my mission to try every single flavor at Imperial Woodpecker Sno-balls.
The original post is hereMy project has come to an end. I tried close to sixty flavors, I did not gain any weight, and I made some new friends ( Read more... ) -
dental update.
I went to the Implant Dentist today, who says that I am healing beautifully. In two months I'll go back and we'll prepare for the next step -- drilling the titanium posts into my jaw.
On Friday I go to Regular Dentist for a cleaning. ::flings tooth-shaped confetti::
