*weeps*

[ChaosVortex]

How did she taste?



(/lame joke)

[ASR]

My Witherspoon is too big!

[preventerWIND]

That's how you make a joke, CV.

[ChaosVortex]

Don't be a towel.

[preventerWIND]

Hey. That's OUR word.

Rhiane and I hooked up. We have joked about this day being the end of the world.

If you all die, sorry. Our bad.

Yesterday at 3:30 PST, my grandmother passed on.

She was an amazing woman, and largely my role model growing up.

She went peacefully of congestive heart failure. She was 93.

I'm a little melancholy, but I'm happy to have known her as well as I did, and glad she's no longer confined to that body.

All in all, it's a very calm feeling.

[ChaosVortex]

Sorry to hear Opal.

[ASR]

I was debating on whether or not to even post this here, but in the end I figured... why not?

I don't know how much any of you know about my story, but something recently got me to write about it again in a new light. Maybe it'll help you out if you've been in a similar situation - I'm very open with my life but I'm sure a lot of you keep things to yourself and I don't know if this would help anybody.

I know John read it because he commented on the link via Facebook, and maybe some of the rest of you saw it there as well. Regardless, I'm linking to it here.

[Johncarllos]

Like I said before, it's a great story.

AND provides a lot of insight into Alec.

[ChaosVortex]

Just saw Avatar in 3D today with Annie. I didn't expect it to be THAT good. It's my favorite movie this year.

So much to talk about. This movie is DEFINITELY more like Pocahontas than Fern Gully, like what some of my friends tell me. Even though it was predictable, it was still VERY well scripted and developed.

One of my friends told me it was terrible. I have no idea what he's talking about. Everyone in the theater was totally into this movie. How can you NOT like it?

I'd tell you all to go see it, but I know for a fact that I'M the one late to the party here and I'm sure everyone here has already seen it. But in case you didn't, you're REALLY missing out!

[Snare]

ASR, I really, truly, deeply empathize with everything you endured, I really do! But you know me better than that... I had to go and do something like this.

I'll understand it if you don't ever want to talk to me ever again.

[Johncarllos]

[ASR]

Snare, if you can actually find a way to personally offend me, I'll be so impressed I might actually give you my little brother or something of equal value.

Because, yeah, I can't remember the last time anyone has found a way to hurt my feelings... at least in the last few years since I "grew up" a bit, as I put it.

BUT I LOVE IT

[Ikeoko]

Alec that's really amazing that you got through all of that. It's inspiring as well. I'm glad you're happier now

[Snare]

Snare, if you can actually find a way to personally offend me, I'll be so impressed I might actually give you my little brother or something of equal value.

You're FAT.

Oh God, you guys I feel so incredibly ill right now.

I might vomit.

[ASR]

Snare you're just a big huge doodie!

[Snare]

WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN.

[Johncarllos]

My microbiology teacher has mono.

Lol.

We'll be missing a lot of class, like 2 classes out of the 6 previous and missing class tomorrow as well.

It's awesome but it sucks, we'll have a butt load of catching up to do.

[Majikn]

Bring the lab to his or her house and STUDY THE INSIDE OF THAT MOUTH.

What John said. I touched that plane just last year, I wish I could say I know how it feels, but in comparison it's small time. But really, you've turned out amazing. Far better than a lot of people I know.

In some cases I think these things make people a bit stronger.

[ASR]

In all cases.

[Winged Warrior]

With my returns, I shall purchase a tablet.
Yes, amazing tablet magic shall be mine.

That was my day.

[MOX]

Best investment ever.

The week before yesterday I went to the dentist because I had this pain on the right side of my jaw, comes out that the upper wisdom tooth was causing the pain and the bottom wisdom tooth as well, but the twist with the bottom one was that it was like....next to the nerve, am like, that sounds REALLY bad, they were like, "yeaaa, for this your going to need oral surgery to remove this so your nerves won't get damaged". Then I asked how much it was going to run to remove the bottom one, the cost: 520$ to remove a tooth that would have been cheaper if I was not close to the nerve. So yesterday I got it remove, good thing I didn't feel ANY pain while they were removing it. Then they began to sow the gap and the string look like this _____________________________ _____________________________   long, am like WTH?!?! And now am stuck with this constant after surgery pain and only eat yogurt and Starbucks for the next three days.....           

[Snare]

Starbucks isn't food!

[ASR]

Tons of people have their wisdom teeth out, man. I just had mine out around Thanksgiving. I couldn't eat at Thanksgiving dinner.

And one of mine was close to the nerve, too.

Though I can't sympathize with you on the money issue, since my parents paid. But everything else, you're overreacting.

[ChaosVortex]

Yeah man. Annie is getting her wisdom teeth out soon, and I plan on removing mine sometime this December.

[TheOnly]

I personally think that ppl should get it out before it starts to hurt, that way you won't feel as bad as if your putting it off for a good while.

[ChaosVortex]

You're generally supposed to get them out between 18-25, but as I heard yesterday, it's better to get them out before they fully develop and get a root in there.

[Johncarllos]

I should have mine removed, but I can't really afford it.

[preventerWIND]

Bought World War Z today, as well as an impulse buy as soon as I laid eyes on 1984; now I can finally finish it at my pace, since I've had to library it* twice now.

I've also got Get In The Van on audiobook, I'm almost done reading listening to it now. #####ing great..

*Library is now a verb

[Majikn]

I had plans to get the wisdom teeth out before I turned 21, but my body had other plans to kick my ass. Now I'm no longer covered by insurance.

I can't understand anyone presumptuously saying "you're overreacting" because everyone seems to have a different experience with it. The fact is it really sucks during and after surgery, and everyone who's done with the experience is probably just happy that it's over and that they don't have to do it again.

It's may be difficult to understand what I mean if you don't suffer through pain on a daily basis, as has been happening to me. When I'm in pain, it sucks. When it's over it seems like I always downplay how bad it was because I try to just move on and forget about it.

[TheOnly]

THANK YOU!

[ASR]

Oh, hey, I suffered for a long time after I got my wisdom teeth out. My gums were sore for over a month, at which point I was told I must be imagining the pain. It hurt like hell. I hated it. I complained a lot, and I try never to complain.

I'm just projecting on TheOnly because I hate when people complain and I complained and I feel bad about that.

[NovaMan XP]

I hated the pain I had when I had my wisdom teeth pulled out... It was the day after Christmas. Lucky me. Heh heh, I can't remember what year it was, I think I was 17 but I'm not sure...

[ChaosVortex]

Okay, call me stupid or ignorant or whatever, but I didn't know about the fact that you should get them removed until some months ago. I wish I got them out when I was 18. Now I'm doing it when I'm 21, and it just might be a bit more painful.

This doesn't affect me, because I won't be drinking but... If you're getting them removed and you're 21 (or already drinking), don't drink while it's healing. I don't need to explain why, it affects your blood and the ability to heal those gaps where your tooth used to be.

But yeah, I too think TheOnly is overreacting a bit. Although I haven't done it yet but plan on to. I want it done and over with and I do NOT look forward to it. At least they'll put me to sleep for it.

Anyway, yours is done. Just take the pain, let it settle, and let it pass.

[AlexThePenguin]

I was told that I wasn't going to get my wisdom teeth.

So far, I have two, and they're both fine. They help me chew on my left side. (I won't mention just how many teeth I'm missing, but suffice to say I have plenty of room in my mouth.)

My thirty-year-old cousin just had one grow in, too.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I've had mine since I was 16 and they've been completely fine for me.

[Majikn]

Some people have wisdom teeth that come in just fine, I think, and their only issue with it is flossing waaay back there.

[Snare]

Yeah...It really IS different for everyone.

I got all four of mine removed at once.

I DID NOT FEEL ANY PAIN. Not before. Not after. NONE. There was like -35% pain. Then again, that surgeon was also a magician or something.

[TheOnly]

I wish my surgeon was a magician. /:

[preventerWIND]

He wouldn't be a very good surgeon then, would he?

[ASR]

You're assuming he can't divide his professional life from his hobbies.

[ChaosVortex]

You're assuming he can divide by zero.

[NovaMan XP]

He's a magician, of course he can divide by zero. It's MAGIC!

And that is how he became a surgeon. The end.

waitwhat

[preventerWIND]

You're assuming he can't divide his professional life from his hobbies.

YOU'RE assuming it's a hobby and that he doesn't take magic SERIOUSLY.

[Majikn]

Now I'M assuming YOU don't take YOUR hobbies seriously.

[TheOnly]

It seems "assuming" is our word word for the day .

[Ikeoko]

You could assume that.
