I’ve had that done twice. It’s not as bad as it sounds, but it’s hardly pleasant, either. And my insurance covered about $2.40 of the costs; I had to pay the rest out of pocket. Bastages!
I’m betting monica and Winnie get attacked by their kitchens because they forget to floss regularly. Yep, their kitchens and the ADA are conspiring against em. I like to help the cause of paranoia whenever I can.
I like plain old dental floss. None of that flavored waxy stuff for me. Nosirree. I like my floss to be manly floss. ACBG uses regular ol’ floss too. Manly men we are.
I made a pot roast yesterday with some really good gravy. I put some carrots in to cook too. I was gonna put some taters in but I had me a hankerin’ for some smashed taters so I made smashed taters. I also cooked some lima beans and made some biscuits. I had the leftovers for supper tonight. Oh, and I made some brownies from a mix for dessert. I fancied em up with some chopped pecans. There were no brownies left over.
Sorry to be so late today. I have absolutely no reason. I was off work today and spent the day doing pretty much next to nothing. I heated up some soup for lunch and made a grilled cheese sammich. I washed, dryed, folded and put away a bunch of towels. I took a shower, brushed my teeth and flossed but I didn’t shave. ACBG has a meeting to night so I am a bachelor this evening. Which is ok. I think I might get in the hot tub after a while cause it’s cold outside and that would feel real good.

All this pork chitchat is bringing back bad memories of Iowa signs. “Hooray for the red, pork, and blue!”, “I scream, you scream, we all scream for pork loin!”.
People from Iowa are crazy. Or at least the Iowan advertisers are crazy.
We’re out of dental floss. I should pick some up tomorrow. And some hair elastics (the thick black ones). On Friday when we had lots of people over part of the evening entertainment was Best Friend having several drinks and then administering haircuts. Somehow her haircutting skills don’t suffer with alcohol consumption.
Driving Husband got his traditional gothboy haircut, and Mr. Lissar got his bangs trimmed, and I got the split ends taken off, and (after a lot of pressure from his wife) Mr. Lissar’s godfather got an all-over trim. I was going to cut Best Friend’s hair, too, but by then it was 2 a.m. and we decided to kick everyone out.
Mr. Lissar took pictures, and is going to post them online. Whee!
Driving Husband will be here for dinner tonight. We’re having roast potato caesar salad, bbq pulled pork sammiches, and peach crumble.
We had prosciutto for dinner tonight. For appateasers we had sliced melon with proscuitto; for the main course it was prosciutto, peas and onions, sauted together in olive oil and butter, then sprinkled generously with grated parmesan cheese and fresh ground black pepper.
Just to tie back to the OP, I often get little filaments of stuff from the prosciutto (a fine form of pork, albeit not very (or Barry) white) stuck in between my teeth. Since we live in Florida I don’t need to use floss anymore. I just have some of these work the stuff out.
I’m stuck on what would need to be measured in the making of chocolate frosting. Ya dump powdered sugar into a bowl with most of a cube of softened butter, six or eight dollops of cocoa, a touch of vanilla and salt, and enough milk to get the right consistancy. No offense, monica, but maybe the cabinet was trying to get you to live a little and not be bound by artificial restrictions on frosting making.
Meant to post this yesterday…
I’m pretty sure this is the type of emotional distress you don’t get over. It’s been more than 35 years since my brother’s 9th birthday party and I can still see 5 or 6 of his friends jumping up and down on our living room couch and then some of them doing headstands. Herds of small boys still make me uncomfortable…

Cows and horses travel in herds. Small boys, wolves and hyenas travel in packs.
Rue have Soupo and friends graduated to the next level of little boy fun yet? Meaning, have they progressed beyond burps into farts and armpit noises? That might be more of the nine to ten year old boy level of fun but it’s been a loooooooooooong time since I was a little boy so I don’t remember much anymore. Also, what kinda loot did he get? That’s always important stuff to know.
Tonight I am having dinner and “dessert” over at ACBG’s place. He’s warming up chili that he made a couple weeks ago and froze a good portion thereof for later purposes. Tonight being one of those later purposes. I’m gonna make cornbread to go with the chili. For all his talent in cheesecake making, the critter makes gawdawful cornbread so I’m making it. I’m spending the night at his place tonight. No sense in going out into the cold just to go home, I say. Especially when he makes a really nice blanket on a cold night. 
It’s cooooooooooooold here! 26 degrees with a wind chill of 22. Also, some idjit turned off the heat at work. It’s 56 degrees according to the thermometer in my office. GRRRRR!!! Also, the barometric pressure in my office is 31.62 inches and the humidity is at 50 percent.

In a little white box that I can sell uptown
I’d have me a crop
And it’d be on top
That’s why I’m movin’ to Montana
Movin’ to Montana soon (Yippy-ty-yo-ky-yay!)
Also, Tom’s apparently makes flouride-free toothpaste. For those of you who want minty fresh breath while keeping your precious bodily fluids pure.
Hah! 22F isn’t cold! It’s -19C here with some awesome amount of windchill. Cold weather warning in effect, too.
Now someone who lives in the far North will post and make our temps look wimpy.
I won’t do that, but I will piss in your cornflakes. We’ve got hot dry winds coming in from the desert today. I just checked the Weather Channel’s website, and it’s expected to get up to 81 degrees today. Jeez!
Don’t worry, I happen to be boarding a plane tomorrow for Chicago, where I will surely freeze my wimpy Californian ass off.
I could see my breath in my office when I got to work today. Feh. 19F outside; probably low 50s in my office when I got here; maybe 60 something now.
My building is in the middle of a 4 month long HVAC replacement, so I have no heat except for the space heater next to me. There are large holes in the roof for the air handlers, and last week, when we had the monsoon, the waterfall was spectacular.
Now, today, the construction guys are pissed at me, because I dared to run a space heater, and when they fired up the shop vac to clean up the concrete dust they made by making more holes in the roof, they took out the circuit breaker that fed their vac and my office. Construction guys --> :wally
Enough ranting. I ate pork last night, got it stuck between my teeth, and didn’t floss. Used a toothpick instead.
Yeah, but, MAN, shibb, you have to hold your breath for so looooooooooong!
We’ve got 51 degrees here right now. For once they don’t have the AC on in this stupid building. I expect by this afternoon they will though. 
My team leader and one of the account execs are up in Niagara Falls today. They said it hasn’t stopped snowing and they are over it. Ha! Flawduh wimps! Why would anybody want to open an indoor water park in the middle of January? Even if it is 84 degrees inside? But then, those Canadians are real hardy. Not Flawduh wimps.
How much farther do we have to go? I mean, you’re pretty far north. Do we have a forum member who lives at the North Pole?
I don’t know what the temperature is here in central Joisey, but it is pretty damn cold.
Maybe, if you’re seeing your breath inside, it’s not really cold, you just have to brush your teeth better. And floss too. Just sayin’.
This morning I put a coat on before I left for work. That’s how I know it’s cold. Cold is cold. Weather is either cold, cool, warm or hot. Cold means I wear a coat. Cool means I may wear a sweater or light jacket. Warm means I wear short sleeved shirts. Hot means I go nekkid every chance I get but I still have to wear clothes to work.
However, no matter what the weather, you should always brush and floss regularly.
In further news, a judge has ordered the mouthwash company to stop advertising that it is as effective as floss, since, apparently, this is not the case.
Okay, so I’ve had a post eaten already this morning, let’s see what else can go wrong.
When I brush my teeth nekkid, too many things juggle.
Let’s have an “Annoy your justly deserving co-worker(s)” week, shall we? Like an early April Fool’s Day, let’s exchange mean little (harmless) pranks to play on all those co-workers who deserve to be annoyed. Things that most people would find funny, even if it happened to them (although the person I most want to annoy has no sense of humor concerning himself, so he’ll be pissed regardless, or maybe especially, if everyone else laughs).
My, but I woke up mean this morning. It’s fun.
So, this running problem I have with being poed with staff and co-workers because stuff isn’t done when it’s supposed to be done is all a prank? Like today since this a big being poed day for me so far? Who woulda thunk it!
FisherQueen, we were enlightened on that by Homebrew who got to it before I did or I woulda mentioned it. However, given the attention span of most of the MMPers (OOOOOH!!! Look!!! Bright shiny stuff!!!) it never hurts to remind.
Now that I’d like to see, juggling jigglies.
Got any pictures of that?
