I only go for the Nitrous oxide. And cause my dental plan says use it or lose it (the coverage). :blush:

I go for Nitrous too. But I've never had it at the dentist's :blush:

My dentist has the affect of Mr. Rogers. This has the effect of putting me to sleep even when he is drilling me. Of course, I also have the ability to fall asleep while having an MRI.

Amino acids, maybe? I believe molasses will curdle milk because the proteins break down.

That makes sense. On the other hand icecreams made with honey are not uncommon, and the recipe was written by someone I know and trust who has evidently made it plenty of times. We'll have to wait for a scientist to come along.

My dentist, whom I've had since I had teeth, is extremely hot. Whoo! He hasn't aged a bit. Even his fingers taste good.

I love going to the dentist.

yes because you feel oh-so-sexy while you are drooling all over his fingers and he's scraping 6 months worth of crap off of your teeth.

My dentist is a nut. About six months ago I showed up for an appointment wearing olive green pants and a t-shirt with a camouflage pattern. "Ooh, look at you," he said, "working that Lynndie England look!" He does understand that I need massive amounts of nitrous and drugs, so I am happy to continue the relationship.

Having to practically knock over two co-workers (I said 'excuse me' twice but they didn't budge) to get to the fruit salad at lunch today because they were parked in front of it having an apparently engrossing conversation about Paris Hilton.

Client blew off conference call which throws off audio schedule, which throws off production schedule...

“And another thing. You don't have to "move on" either. Not until you're ready. People say, Oh, you should be grateful. They say, Oh, it's time for you to move on. I'm like, What are you, a cop with a nightstick? I'll move on when I'm done playing the blues on my harmonica, thank you very much.

Really, people will tell you all kinds of garbage. Don't believe it.

You don't have to move on until you're ready.”

The 2-4 inches of snow that the DC area is supposed to get tomorrow which will:

a) shut down the whole city for the rest of the week

b) cause all of the idiots to flee work at the sight of the first snowflake. Thus, they get on the roads before the salt trucks have gone around and the roads are at their slickest. Thus, there will be several accidents that will further delay the salt trucks and back up traffic to an even greater degree.

c) cause everyone to head to the grocery stores to do panic shopping as if they were going to be stuck in their houses until April and not just a day or two.

d) (not meant to kick a dead horse) cause all of the SUVainiacs to forget yet again that 4 wheel drive helps you go better, not stop better. Especially when your vehicle weighs twice as much as most things on the road. It's called basic physics people!

"You know what we need around here? More guidelines. I don't think we have enough guidelines. I mean -- look at that other place, it even has guidelines for its guidelines."

"Also, we don't "ban" people in the arbitrary fashion you are describing. It's a meticulous and careful process, which is only used sparingly." -jhlurie (now ex-officio)

I am an extremely sound sleeper. Trucks, sirens, military jets screaming up and down the Hudson a block away,a cat walking on my head---nothing fazes me and I slumber on. I think that I may, however, have met my nemesis in the mourning doves that have taken up residence in my apartment building courtyard. They start in with their infernal, incessant cooing at the merest hint of first light, which this morning was 5:30-ish. I am most emphatically not a morning person and that's a bit early for my taste. If I had a gun I'd start shooting the little fuckers. :blush:

We have a lot (probably just the two) down our way too. Hardly the bird of peace are they?
