I'd love to hear wisdom tooth horror stories. When I was in the waiting room there was an elderly lady sitting next to me. I was ridiculously nervous and she and I were the only ones alone so I started talking to her and found out that she was there to have her last four top teeth extracted because she had cancer in her nasal cavity that spread to her mouth. She was just having novacaine like me because she also had some heart issue that made it dangerous to get sedated. Sheesh, that quickly put things in perspective for me and made me feel like a big baby!

OK, I'll go first. When I was 24, I started feeling just a little twinge of pain at the back of my jaw and knew it was a wisdom tooth coming in. I made a dentist appt and the dentist said it needed to come out so I made another appointment for the following Monday. When I left work for my 1:00 appt I told them I'd be back later, and they laughed at me and said, "We'll see." WELL. They used gas and novacaine and worked on that tooth for an hour because it was impacted. I had to call for a ride home, didn't make it back to work until the following Monday, and couldn't keep anything down for a whole week. I was so sick!! I think I just couldn't process the gas or something. Anyway, when I went back a year later to get the other 3 teeth removed, I was delighted when the whole proceedure took only 15 minutes, no gas, and then they handed me a check for $120 when I was ready to leave because my insurance had covered the original extraction. Yay!!

Fox: Small reddish fluffy canine-type with black tip on tail.
Hen: Fluffy feathered critter that lays eggs, clucks, and scratches the ground.
Pasture: Grassy area enclosed by fence.
Gut Pile: What foxes leave behind after visiting the chicken house.

I didn't know David was from Rio Linda.

Well, I hate to admit it, but I listen to Rush Limbaugh. There's a small town in Northern California named Rio Linda. Small town. Whenever he says something and wants to lighten it up a bit he'll say, for instance, "Refrigerator...that's "ice box" for those of you in Rio Linda." That was just an example. He uses it for anything any subject. If any of our members listen to Rush, I'm sure they understood what I was referring to. Just an off-handed joke.

Okay thanks for explaining. Plus gosh don'tcha all call them ice boxes?

In all honesty, I do call them ice boxes. Nobody else around me does and we can't figure out where I picked it up from, but for me they are ice boxes. My kids use to tease me to no end about that.

Ice boxes refer to boxes that were filled with ice before refrigerators were invented.

I still got my wisdom teeth, still don't see any difference in wisdom levels. And I think the urine only works if the animal is scared of the said species urine. You need a big mean nasty animal that strikes fear into everything it meets, so therefore I offer to come by and use my patented "david urine" to scare everything away.

Yeppers.

I was born without wisdom teeth (no sockets for them even, also missing a molar.)

Is that what my problem is?

It's as good of an excuse for you as anything.

 

[Kristina]

Jacqui, I'm not quite sure how to take that, lol.

Happy Sunday! I know that it signifies the end of the weekend but there's something comforting about a Sunday morning!

[Jacqui]

I thought Sunday morning was only meant for sleeping in til noon?

 

[CtTortoiseMom]

Sunday is bath & mazuri day for all the torts but Rob is out of town and I have a head-face ache thing going on so I am stalling. The Mazuri part is no prob but wrestling Sid in and out of his soak is no fun on a normal day!!!

 

[Kristina]
