So this is your new Mexican hottie...

We didn't ask and she didn't flirt, all-business she man man.

She does have a skool-aged son, mentioned having to pick him up man.

No ring and no mention of husband, but down there that means nothing man.

she has all the qualifications of a wife - she knows how to inflict pain!

Silence from the inferior-primate peanut gallery, shaddap man.

No pain, no gain.

So much for painless dentistry, ow ow OW OW OW man.

 

Seriously, we think that we'll switch to this new chica for these reasons, see man:

       1.  No need to walk 1 long block + 1 long half-block from lab to usual clinic, no man.

       2.  Better availability, flexible she man.

Many.  Cleaning done by actual dentist vs. hygienist, get lowdown on dental issues as well as cleaning man.

 

Purely for comparison, we would like to know Bro G's typical fees (and turnaround time) for producing a lower hard/soft nightguard, $i man.  In our instance, they took the impression first thing and made the nightguards while our other stuff was going on, si man.  It's been so long since we had one done in the U.S. that we're curious, curious we man.  Years ago, we did have one made in Ecu (a hard lower) that was ready the next day, recall we man.

Friday ES report, see man:

21 hours ago, TBoneTX said:

We have identified Many (2+2+2) ESs for Friday, wait till a.m. for one address man.

We attended Many (2+2+1) of these Many (2+2+2) ESs, skipped the least promising one we man.

All Many (2+2+1) attended ESs yielded very lavish takes, wow man.

Today was probably the Many'rd-best or even 2nd-best ES day of this year, conclude we man.

 

The take, see man:

 -- Many (2x2x2x2x2x2x2) party cups, jug CLR remover, t-shirt, bag rubber bands = 

          $Many ($2+2+2+1), steal man

 -- ~full jug Tide + Downy, NIP roll paper towels, NIP dryer-sheets = $Many ($2+2+2), big steal man

 -- NIP bottle Many-mg acetaminophen, NIP bottle magnesium tabs, NIP bottle senior multivitamins, 

          Carhartt pocket t-shirt, toothbrush tube = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+2+1), steal man

 -- J. Crew flannel shirt, travel alarm, sm. box Q-tips, Many (2+1) bars Safeguard soap = 

          $Many-&-a-half ($2+2+2 + half a buck), steal man

 -- 2-gallon gas can, full can Lysol spray, ~full bottle CLR remover, half-jug bug-formula 

          windshield fluid = $Many ($2x2x2 +2), steal man

Total = $Many-&-a-half ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 + 2 + half a buck)

Thrilling Friday non-ES report, see man:

 

Lousy zzz overnight, HSM failed man.  :ranting:

 

Took long rant-call from Mama T-B., upset senior she man for good reason man.

We kept offering solutions, all rejected man.

Mama T-B. merely wanted a sympathetic ear, :bonk:  man.

 

Breakfast/lunch/din-din was at "the" Chinese buffet, calm down Bro G man.

The waitress, seen before by us, was "Huang2," obviously a spy of some sort man.

She was overly solicitous, kept trying to refill our water glass man.

She has a nice smile but has minimal English and isn't our type, quit arguing before you start Bro G man.

We consumed Many (2+2) plates heaped with beef & chicken, ingest we man.

 

WCG returned from London today, 221(g) for Mrs. WCG's IR-1 visa man.  :ranting:

WCG would pass by and wanted to meet us at half-past Many at Costco food court, meet we & WCG man.

We were finishing with our ESs but thought we could make it, stop at casa first man.

Just then, Cousinette-once-removed called with family medical info, long chat on & after drive man.

Call ended and we entered casa to face demanding miu, Time For Afternoon Service Daddy man.

We hurriedly serviced miu, service miu we man.

We then grabbed what we needed for WCG and headed back out, rushed we man.

Of course, we hit skoolzone traffic, :ranting:  :ranting:  :ranting: man.

 

Hourlong caucus with WCG was great, enjoyable mutually man.

We saved $Many in postage by handing WCG what we'd have otherwise mailed, F$WM.

It turns out that we had parked the T-B.-mobile and WCG-mobile contiguously, amazing man.

 

We continued to legacy supermarket for Two Guys Week grocerying, grocery we man.

Of course, we also need one item each from Costco and from Aldi, :ranting:  :girlwerewolf2xn:  :bonk: man.

 

It took much time to unload and sort our ES haul, :dance:  man.

Miu demanded further service, service miu we man.

No time for a siesta at all, :ranting:  :ranting:  :ranting:  man.

 

No party with the rubias, no cavort we man.

Per power co., we shall be powerless for most of Saturday, :ranting:  man.

We have itineraried Many (2+1) GSs and Many (2+1) ESs far out of town, kill the day man.

The crucial element is whether we can prep and exit the casa before Many (2x2x2) a.m., unlikely man.

And that was/is our thrilling Friday, report we man.

I'm not sure about the fee as my wife is the front desk/financial person, but as I say if they don't complain about the price we're not charging enough!

 For a H/S guard (which is what I prefer)I send the models and bite to the lab.  Usually takes them a week but I reschedule the patient for about two weeks out.

Sounds like she was a he...🤣

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Thrilling Saturday-on-Sunday report, see man:

 

We embedded ourself after 2 a.m., suboptimal man.

We set alarm for half-past Many (2+2+2) a.m., appalling man.

We awoke consequent to pain at Many (2+2+2) a.m., :ranting:  man.

Our Friday Chinese buffet gained us Many (2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2) pounds, how is this even possible man.

 

On 12/12/2025 at 11:54 PM, TBoneTX said:

Per power co., we shall be powerless for most of Saturday, :ranting:  man.

We strove to prep and leave casa before the above, promised at Many (2x2x2) a.m., displeased we man man.

Many usual steps were skipped, displeased we man.

We got on road and actually had to kill time, displeased we man.

Found open Post Office and did some business, at least there was that at Many (2x2x2 +1) a.m. man.

 

Breakfast (at half-past Many [2x2x2 +1] a.m.) was lunch food at Jack in the Box*, ingest we man.

     *bought WUOC, F$WM

Then, after further delay was unnecessary, traffic & road-destruction hosed our progress, displeased we man.

 

After the dud GSs/ESs, we stopped at a Goodwill, first time in ages because overpriced etc. man.

We unenthusiastically found 2 shirts that mildly interested us, at least not empty-handed for the day we man.

However, one cashieress was serving a Manyzen customers, not going to wait we man.  :ranting:

We disgustedly left our cart and walked out, :ranting:  we man.

 

By now it was after half-past 1 p.m., almost time to head back to casa man.

We briefly debated treating ourself to a good early din-din, self-debate we man.

However, it began to sprinkle rain, kill the mood man.

Then, Mama T-B. phoned, "I need you NOW man" aysheep senior she man man.

We accordingly headed back to the casa in infuriating traffic, :ranting:  we man.

The power co. had done nothing to or with the power all day, :ranting:  :ranting:  :ranting:  :ranting:  :ranting:  man!

And if they announce that they will on another day, or do it without announcement, look out, grrRRRRR man.

 

After servicing insistent miu and showering, we visited Mama T-B., compliant we man.

This visit involved little or even no yelling, mirabile dictu man.

Afterward, we went to Aldi, up-catching Two Guys Week grocerying man.

 

Returned to casa just before sundown, made it man.

Re-serviced re-insistent miu, reservice miu we man.

 

Din-din was half of Mama T-B.'s leftover tuna sandwich, a chicken pot pie from Aldi, and most of a bag of knockoff Fritos scoops from Aldi, ingest we man.

 

A highly necessary and restorative siesta was then taken, zzz we man.

 

Our shoulder is killing us again, probably ingest prohibited HSM again we man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

NFL game and one LL for Sunday, plan we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.
