"Oral & Maxillofacial" surgery person will be unearthing and withdrawing a lower side-back tooth from my oral-maxilloface today. Already greeting the dawn with stupid pain and will be perfectly happy to lay back in that expensive chair this afternoon.
Not enough sleep. Embarking on a creamy, not skinny, latte di covfefe.
I had 3 fillings in my front teeth on Monday as they both had developed giant bloody cracks over the weekend. Seems that the previous dentist had put new fillings ON TOP of the old ones.
I wish you a pain free future and dont forget to ask for pain needs if you think might need them. I have had a similar procedure and it hurt like fuck for a couple of days afterwards
They don't really give scheduled pain meds anymore; I've got tylenol and 800mg ibuprofens, I can take more ibu if & when. Cool so far, still numb and drooling, LOL
I could use a couple days' worth of dope, to keep on hand for emergencies. I hate being on shit, having 40 years sober, so it's not dangerous in my case, but those folks are very weird about that, now. Which is generally for the best for humankind.
Well I meant more when you get there, I have 1 horror story of a dentist fuck up and had to wait for an Oral Surgeon to take me in.
Oral surgeon was great, my root had a curve though, so it was alot of work. I didnt feel much but I could see him sweat 😅 Make sure you have ice packs and take it easy, you might swell and bruise alittle. (and get the drugs + advil/aspirin)
I saw "Operation Mincemeat" on Broadway yesterday. It's a musical comedy about a real WWII event where the British deceived the Nazis by planting fake documents on a corpse. Despite the dark premise, the play was hella fun. At one point the characters are debating the morality of using the man's corpse without his family's knowledge or permission. "It's war; we must do whatever is necessary," says one character. "If we accept that without question, the fascists win," replies another. The audience broke into spontaneous applause for some reason.
Ben Macintyre wrote a book about that (and another called Double Cross about the complete failure of German espionage in England in WWII). Both are recommended.
I'm a little surprised to discover that Habitat for Humanity charges to come pick up donations, and that it's a pretty substantial amount. I just bought a new bedroom set and Habitat is charging about $200 to come and pick up the old one. It's a bed, dresser, chest, and bedside table.
It's OK, Habitat has always been one of my favorite charities, but that seems like a lot, enough to maybe even discourage some folks from donating.
That's weird. Habitat is one of my favorite charities. If they pull that stuff on my next donation, they will fall off my list. I'm just not that into extortion.
They refused some shitty furniture that a friend asked us to haul over (Goodwill). So did Salvation Army. We ended up leaving it on our street on the off chance someone might want it, and if not, garbage picks up stuff like that
Well, I am utterly fucked in my dreams. Everyone in my dreams, which are basically the same every night with a few tiny tweeks that roll the narrative along, hates me right now. If they aren't pissed at me about bringing my homegirl to the REALLY SECRET secret movie, they are pissed at me for telling the blond android to run through the maze so he can get credit for his homework, but nazis shot him up in the maze and so I am even mad at myself. In my dreams.-_-
Sleep specialists say it's better sleep when you don't remember. That means your memory is shutting down at night, too. When you remember your dreams, it means your memory has been up working instead of sleeping.
I used to be able to lucid dream. It was so brilliant. I would remember where I was in the dream and pop straight back in there the next night. I could also control the dream. Suddenly, that ability was gone and I dont remember anything.
Remember how No Kings in Austin got shut down due to credible threats? All horse poop. Read this article and shiver at what the police state of phony terror (while downplaying or ignoring Maga terror) did to an innocent man accused of being a threat:
The protest didn't get shut down, I was there with 10-12,000 of my closest friends. They did, though, shut down entry to the Capitol earlier in the day due to the threat, but the No Kings protest was a huge success.
NBC is reporting that, with the possibility of the US involving itself in the shooting war between Israel and Iran, the Director of National Intelligence (Tulsi Gabbard, and oh how it hurts for me to type that) is being sidelined.
seeing as she wasnt invited to the Camp David talks that Dipshit had with his trusted advisors I would say she is there so he can point to her and other female department heads and say he isnt sexist
"People" who betray our national security for some fucking money make me twitch with enormous feelings. I have never been able to feel philosophical about it. They make me savage. Well, for any reason, but when they take money for it, it's worse.
Well, Grover Norquist advocated a government so small it could be "drowned in a bathtub." Maybe he was on our side, although I doubt it. Jean Paul Marat could perhaps speak up.
Beautiful! I LOVE when Mr. Legum writes in a 1st person voice when the voice is an autopen, a demon or any other perspective.
That was fun. Perfect for a Friday.
Compare Trump's signature to that of Heinrich Himmler's. It's uncanny.
I cannot believe THAT is what they (GOP-only) are DEBATING in the Senate! WTAF... really WHAT the ABSOLUTE F*CK!
thank you thank you for such an uplifting post

May they give you the good shit!

Pass the ice pack, man.

NO HORROR STORIES BEFORE MKY SURGERY THANKS
DID NOT READ
(raises his covfefe mug) Here's to an easy surgery and a swift recovery!
Mucho grazie beaucoup.

I saw the olde time movie of it.

Was Vance there?
Isn't that the trophy that gets passed around?
Yeah, and it's known for getting banged around as it passes from hand to hand.

I had Salvation Army pick up a couch. It was a sleeper sofa and on a 2nd story - free
Granted it was over a decade ago
Adding up the cost in my head.
$20. hr X 2 guys, + employee costs = $60. X 1.5 hrs for drive time and load/unload =$90.
Truck payment and insurance.
Space rental for storage & showroom.
Admin cost, record keeping.
$200.00 isn't too much.
Like I said, I'm fine with it, and not my first donation to Habitat, but it might discourage some people from donating.
They don't want people using it as a waste disposal service. Goodwill will refuse items if they aren't worth taking when they do it as a pickup.

That didn't even dawn on me. People can be real shits sometimes.
Thank you, Thing.

You dream like Mrs. JC does. I have dreams that are so boring I rarely even remember dreaming.
Same, but working on it. Wish I could get out there, again on the astral plane... ;)

Interesting dreams.
I'm really kicking myself for blabbing about the secret secret movie. I can't even talk to the cool people who sneaked me in to it anymore. : (

I hope they help me win the in my dreams Project Runway contest I am in!
If you see a monster in a dream, give him a gift. Stay with it. Secret secrets often come back to you. :)

I don’t live there, but my local news abc13 reported it cancelled
Lickspittle press gotta lickspittle.
With the tools they have it's so easy to ensure due diligence, but they just report the press releases they're given, as fact.
The whole thing, both sides, seems fishy.
NBC is reporting that, with the possibility of the US involving itself in the shooting war between Israel and Iran, the Director of National Intelligence (Tulsi Gabbard, and oh how it hurts for me to type that) is being sidelined.
seeing as she wasnt invited to the Camp David talks that Dipshit had with his trusted advisors I would say she is there so he can point to her and other female department heads and say he isnt sexist
Shitcanned would be more appropriate. Shitcanned and imprisoned would be more better.
"People" who betray our national security for some fucking money make me twitch with enormous feelings. I have never been able to feel philosophical about it. They make me savage. Well, for any reason, but when they take money for it, it's worse.
Tulsi made the mistake of having an opinion, which was not in line with what TFG wanted to hear.
Tulsi and Loomer in disagreement?
That opinion sounds better in the original Russian.
Evidently that orange bag of shit is pissed about the nuclear war PSA she put out. Says it was off message.
He wants to nuke someone, anyone.
I have a suggestion....
The bunker buster bombs are not nukes. They are the most powerful "regular" bombs.
What Diane said.
He wants to use those, too.
TACO is between a rock and a hard place. Does he bomb Iran and piss off Putin, or does he not and piss off Bibi?
He tried to get help from Little Kim, but got ghosted.
I read that orange bag of shit is thinking about ending her position or rolling it into the CIA.
He's asked if he could appoint himself head of the Federal Reserve; maybe he could be his own DNI as well, also, too.
And now we see what they mean by "Small government"--it's just this one asshole.
Well, Grover Norquist advocated a government so small it could be "drowned in a bathtub." Maybe he was on our side, although I doubt it. Jean Paul Marat could perhaps speak up.
He's the Urinary Executive. Or something.
