alice_in_wonderland, how’s it going? Are you taking care of yourself?
Agent Foxtrot, how’s your Dad? Is he coming along OK?
dragongirl, how’s it going? How’re you and the kids?
Brutus, how’s the tooth (teeth?)?
tdn, did you ever get your biscuits to come out right?
Casey1505, what else did you get for your birthday?
Suse, what did you decide to do for you 10 year old son who wants to develop games?
Shirley Ujest, what banana bread recipe did you go with?
ms mith, did you decide on a law school? Which one?
Padeye, did you get a KVM w/USB switch?
FlippyFly, how’s the whole ‘pure and upstanding’ shtick working out for you?
Those are all I can think of at the moment. Feel free to add your questions for other Dopers if you want.
The tooth is now fine, thanks. The saving grace was my dentist, a sweet lady from India, that knew the value of numbing me like a Fellini flick. The root canal was actually painless, if uncomfortable, and the filling drillings (sounds bad) were painless as well.
Everyone should go to their dentists. NOW. Run there. I put it off for years and years, and payed for it with a week+ of utter hell. Regular checkups are in my future, that is for damned sure.
Girlbysea… why ??? why ??? did I come back… Gosh, I thought I closed the door on this place!! Guess it’s true… This ole world does keep turning, and I’m right back where I started… Ok… where’s the rest of you OLD folks??
It’s doing great. For the first time since November, I walked extensively – about a mile altogether – yesterday afternoon when I decided to get a haircut and then some lunch at Subway and aside from flinching every time a car rushed by (which was constantly… I live on the main street in town) and one misstep that almost made my knee lock up, it went swimmingly.
I’m hoping to get clearance to work when I see the doctor again next month.
Say, thanks for the updates, Shirley Ujest, Brutus and Casey1505.
Casey1505, you got chocolate-covered beer. Or something like that.
Brutus, I really should go to the dentist. It’s been too long, but I’m scared. I’m such a pansy.
Shirley Ujest, I reread that recipe. I think if I made it, I could only eat one slice, tops. I’d probably have to give up the rest of my meals for that day, too.
Oh, yeah. My brother brought me a 4-pk of Guinness, and I got to watch the Daytona 500 in relative peace. That’s all I really wanted (well, be 4-pk was a bonus)
I got one call from the collection agency’s “legal department”, never bothered to return it, and haven’t heard from them since. One of my profs is a lawyer, and he told me not to worry about it, since their case won’t stand up without proof.
Yeah, everything is back to normal pretty much. some stuff still hasn’t been cleaned up, but whatever. We got some wicked pictures out of the disasters.
