Haha. I've been 18 for quite a few years now. And then 21 for a few years more.

A few years back I was buying some chocolates infused with liquor in Munich, and the shopkeeper asked if I was already 18. :oops: Sadly, this will never happen again. And if it does, I would know it's one of Ed's cannibals. :D
I only got asked my age once.
On my 18th birthday, and i'd been drinking in that pub for more than a year. :)

Monty is back from the vet and has NOT had a recurrence of his bladder infection.
He did, however, have "very full anal glands" which the tech took care of.
She should get a medal!!!! :)

Time for a nap. MUCH too much excitement today!!!!! :p
Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Points for Monty.
And the vet.

Ok. I am getting points deducted for this Virtues game, but I am well aware of it.
We've had a series of tornadoes come through here today. It's been rainy with thunderstorms, but as I was coming home from errands when my hubby called me to let me know there was a tornado sighted in the next town over, headed for OUR town, and that the St. Tammany Parish/County Emergency Agency was urging everyone to take cover immediately. Luckily, I was near the drug store we use, so I whipped into their parking lot and into the store. Several other people sheltered in there with me. Was on the phone with hubby several times, since I couldn't get the weather station on my cell phone, for some reason. He grabbed one of our cats (the other was under the bed), his coffee and sheltered in laundry room. The tornado apparently passed very near our area- one person was on the phone with her sister who teaches in the next town over. They had the kids all in the center halls of the buildings for safety, and debris was flying all over. After about a half hour the storm system passed and the warning was lifted so I went home.
Other tornadoes formed in New Orleans with significant damage. A total of 5 tornados (at least) confirmed touching down.
The crazy thing is that once the storm system passes, the sun comes out and the sky is blue! At least until the next band.
We had lunch at a local bistro, and I had a glass of wine, so MINUS points for me.
We're all fine here on the Northshore- just messes in several areas, as far as we know.
Last report 10,000 people in New Orleans without power and lots of property damage.

Well, certainly a point or two there.
And a bonus for liking one's dentist. Very odd.;)
Hello, Jacques, hello cats. :)
But Adam, if you had my dentist, you'd love her too! :)
She's a very sweet woman, about my age and she loves her work.
She strives VERY hard to be a PAIN-FREE dentist!!!!! :)
The big chairs the patients sit in for the exam and any dental work have built-in MASSAGERS and also HEAT, if you like a heated massage!
When you're lying back in the chair looking up as you're being massaged, you see she has had beautiful and/or funny posters mounted on the ceiling for you to look at, and these change periodically.
If your dental work requires an injection of any sort, she first paints a numbing gel on the area so that you barely feel the injection!
If you want nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") to help relax you, she is very happy to oblige!
She keeps a supply of gel-filled balls you can grip and squeeze if it helps with your anxiety about being there.
She is VERY up-to-date on the current state of dental medicine.
She is VERY patient and kind. Example: even though annual x-rays are recommended, I don't like to get them. She always asks if I'd like to get my annual x-rays but doesn't give me ANY trouble when I decline.
For established patients that she knows she can trust, she gives her home phone number after any major procedure in case you have problems or unexpected issues.
She's a real gem!!!!! :)

Something not quite right happened to me today: I tried to enlarge a photo on a book cover using my thumb and the index finger. The way I'd do it on a touchscreen. This was a real, tangible hard-cover. :eek:

There must be a name for this disease.
Yes it's called TO
Techknowledgey Overload.
I had a similar experience with technology a while ago when going into a B&Q diy store.
I approached the doors which failed to open automatically, so I took a step back then forwards again - nothing!
So I did a few little jumps on the spot to see if that would trigger the sensor - again nothing!
Suddenly they opened - when a customer leaving the store pushed them open:rolleyes:
Turns out they were one of the few stores not to have automatic doors........
but I'm sure they do have cctv footage of a mad woman performing Riverdance on their doorstep!:D

Okay; you've convinced me.
Will she do home visits to Morocco ?:)
