I just want to say that when you're desparate enough to be logged on to this freakin website since 5:30am, that it helps to pass the time if you drink so much you pass out. A lovely 3 hour nap and I only have to remove the carpeting inside my mouth!

well thank goodness it wasn't hardwood floors then! imagine the ski trip you'd be sending your dentist to if you'd fallen on that! (but, perhaps you'd have nice porcelain veneers instead?)
are you ok dear? whatcha thinking about? i still have that stupid grin on my face from 4 hours ago... but, i took a break and finished a book. it helps, you know.
and i thought about a beer earlier but remembered i promised myself no more liquor (that last liquor episode was horrible!) except special occasions (no, saturday is no longer a special occasion :( and neither is cooking rice.... and that stupid grin went away for a moment but it's back now.
i'll stick around for a bit if you need to talk miss sunshine

You know, I would have loved to have porcelain veneers but before I divorced my ex-husband, I did a pub crawl with him, his brother, his best friend, and his neice, who was marrying the best friend. I was on celexa and ativan because of depression from having lost a few of life's rewards only by having stood by the side of this guy for 18 years.
He said, "you won't tell them that we"re having a problem. I don't want to ruin the weekend for them." So I drank many beers that day. No one noticed that even though I drank no more than they did, I was a LOT drunker.
So I fell out of a bar and fell on my face. My front tooth snapped off at the gumline; hence, no veneers for this gal. We even tried to find the tooth, but in the winter, every stone lying in the street looks like a tooth. Did you know that? I bought a pack of chiclets so I could place one where my tooth should have been.

oh dear! didn't it hurt? my teeth hurt just thinking of that one! i have a few of those stories (stolen from others)...
i had a friend in high school whose tooth jsut didn't come in. so, after she had braces, she had to wear a retainer for a while. this retainer had a built-in tooth. she worker the wendy's drive-in and everytime we'd come thru for food, she'd pull that retainer down, and show us her tooth. we thought it was cooler than free food.
i had another friend who attended the first university i did. she was one of the coolest people i knew. one time, she was riding in the back of a pick up truck drinking. she wanted out, the truck wouldn't stop (they were on the interstate) so, she jumped. face first. she managed to grind her teeth down to the nerves. until she could get them fixed, they looked like cat-teeth. and she didn't mind showing them off. she was very strange. she also liked to wrestle when she wsa drunk. that was fun too. and she wore a leopard print cowboy hat.

It didn't hurt so much, but I was very banged up looking when I went to work that Monday without a front tooth. Within about a month I managed to get myself fired.
Aren't you lucky? I'm really whiney tonight.

awww, you aren't whiney dear... and i bet you were beat up.. good grief! i'd still be griping if i'd lost a front tooth from drinking!
oh, another tooth story! (if you want to hear it!)
i have a sister (another one.. and i think i have like a billion sisters out there... ok, only six) who chipped a front tooth while eating a pretzel. she told me about it and i laughed at her. on not a sourdough pretzel, which i guess i could understand, but a regular pretzel.
why are you whiney tonight? i finished a good book in 2 days. i think i could have been mentioned in it, but realized i wasn't born yet. i realized today that someone i go to school with has won an emmy. i should know this boy, but i don't. i smoke entirely too much. and i am going to call mcdonalds tomorrow (hats be dam*ed! i need a job!). see, i'm whiney too! but, at least i don't work at the post office like bukowski did. that sounds horrid.
so, you tell now, why are you whiney?

so then, other than passing out and flossing your teeth, what else did you do today?
i:
talked to my friend (she tried to convince me that younger men are sexier. i laughed. she still tried. i still laughed. she won't give up. i won't quit laughing.)
i read "post office" by bukowski. bought it used. it came with bubble wrap (fun fun!). it looked like the previous owner read it while eating pepperoni pizza and smelled like (what i assume) moth balls smell like. i started "happy death" by camus. (another used one, even has a name written inside it and a post it note too).
i listened to mr paul simon (concert in central park) i'm on my way, i don't know where i'm going....
i did dishes
i made rice
i read some archives here
caught up on some emails
walked the dog (you know, you never realize it but a dog's a man magnet! honestly!)
cleaned up dog pooh from someone's yard while walking him
brushed dog
played with dog
(beginning to wonder just who owns who here! he never brushes me or cleans up after me!)
made the bed
cleaned up house
ok, just thinking about my day is exhausting me....
so, what did you do? (and i thought i was lazy! ha!)
oh, and started making plans for a cocktail party bridal shower! sounds nice doesn't it?

What I did on Saturday:
got up at 5:30
started laundry - ended up doing 6 loads
reorganized linencupboard so there was someplace to put the laundry
went through pantry and threw out 3 boxes of baking soda, and 2 tins of baking powder. Don't know how they accumulated.
Took out 2 bags of garbage but had to wait for the monsoon rain to let up slightly. This took 3 hours.
Read "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. Was a third of the way through, now I'm finished.
Started washing my kitchen floor. Task made more challenging by doing this on hands and knees since the stupid swift jet thingy had no more pads and I'd bought the wrong brand to replace them with and they didn't fit.
Played with my cat about a hundred times. No wonder she sleeps so much.
Listened to ambient internet radio until the had songs with people whispering. Freaked me out so much I had to turn the computer off for a while.
Drank about 5 litres of water to counteract the cocktails.
Wrapped gifts to give at a spa party I'm doing for a domestic violence shelter next week.
This is the end of the thread.
