Sorted out all my opaque black tights this morning before work. I have seven pairs, which is comforting because I have a pair to wear every day. One pair had a strange almost greeny tinge to it that I had never noticed before. I still like them.

The transit authority is building a new metro station at the end of my street, which in theory I am very happy about since I will eventually be able to take the metro downtown and drink with giddy abandon with my male BFF, but in reality the construction is adding up to 10 minutes to my commute every morning. I had to wait 8 minutes today to turn left onto the main street because of the detour. I admit to having a rageaholic moment during those 8 minutes, during which I beat my fists on the steering wheel and said some Very Not Nice Words about the transit authority, LA drivers and pedestrians.

Randomness of the day... Just because I'm bored...

I just discovered my husband has a perfect set of wisdom teeth! I didn't think that ever happened.

[Marilyn. 340]

I still have all my wisdom teeth. and no cavitites either..

Oh wow!

I'm 26 and I have 6 root canals with crowns on them, one of which we are waiting out to do an implant. My husband is the same way though and goes every 3 months to get checked for cavities.

[Marilyn. 340]

I think part of the no cavity thing has to do with the fact that we hardly drank soda growing up. maybe once a month at McD's or at Birthday parties. Also in elementary school, once a week we had to do a fluoride rinse thing ..

Yeah, that would be it - my mother never made me use toothpaste and I drank soda all the time. My husband's parents used to give him lemonade in his baby bottle. He had to have several teeth pulled on his 6th birthday because they were so rotten.

Parenting makes all the difference.

[Marilyn. 340]

My husband was the opposite. He mainly drank soda growing up. His teeth or a mess. He has a tonne of crowns etc..

I have slowly weaned him off soda. He just drinks some on the weekend sometimes..

The dentist, the reason why I went for an HSA instead of a traditional PPO plan.

I had one of my wisdom teeth rot out about a week before my wedding. It just cracked in half and it was super embarrassing. The worst part was that I never put the pain I had in my jaw about two weeks prior together with that particular tooth that I knew was always a problem. But, I was drunk most of those days anyway up at Wacken and mouth problems weren't going to stop me from having a good time.

I had the rest surgically removed the following months. The last two were terrible. I'd rate that pain as worse than childbirth simply because childbirth lasted only 2.5 hours. My incision sites had me down for days. I couldn't eat or sleep or think. Even my heartbeat drove me nuts, the throbbing. My whole face eventually turned green. It was disgusting. Ugh, glad I never have to go through that again.

Mr. Wacken and I spent most of the spring in a dentist's chair. After all that work, he still needs a crown to replace a temp and I have a filling that desperately needs to be replaced by a crown. I have a probable failed root canal. Thank you genes for blessing me with molars with far more than the normal number of canals. All of my root canals can only be done by endodontists now. We just got dental insurance again, so going back for more drilling good times soon!

i love a good pair of opaque black tights, and am proud of my collection too!

i am sorry about your traffic woes though.

I'm applying labels to about 500 blanket orders and mailing them out today to every department in the university. This is the most work I've had to do at my job here.

Only 17 more months until my Alaskan cruise.

My husband has all his wisdom teeth, never had cavities and was recently told by his dentist that he has the cleanest teeth she has ever seen.

A day before, I came from the same dentist and had to have a fluoride rinse, some work done on my cavities aaaand was up for removal of all my exposed wisdom teeth for this first quarter of 2013.

For a few days after those dental visits, I felt utterly ashamed to be kissing him with his perfect oral hygiene.
