General Discussion

Deggesty:

On dentists--Quentin, I hope you came off better than Tom and Willy. I think it was the last time I had my teeth cleaned that the hygienist noticed a discolored spot in my mouth; it turned out that the spot was an opening which allowed the pressure from decay to be eased so that I did not know that I needed work done on a tooth

Johnny, it appears {probably}, I did....The work done this morning was 10 times less expensive than the estimate....!!

Decay had set in under a crown....But, our resourceful dentist, drilled thru that and drilled out the decay.  He indicated the decay had not got to the nerve yet, so the repair could be done as such and then filled.

The other possiblity was a root canal and new crown...Not cheap.  So if we get away with this repair just accomplished, hooray...I have antibiotics to take now...{less than 10 dollars}, to keep any infection away, etc.....

If this all is successful, I'd say we've had a great morning at our good dentist's office.

Quentin,

I'm glad your dental work went well. Hopefully you're not experiencing as much pain as I did yesterday.

I still don't feel like a spring chicken today, but it's better than yesterday. Now that 24 hours have gone by, I'm supposed to rinse my mouth with warm salt-water every few hours. I guess it's supposed to reduce swelling and ease the pain.

On another note, I've registered for all of my fall 2009 classes at Creighton University. They include:

• Intro to Atmospheric Sciences
• Atmospheric Sciences Lab
• Calculus I
• Theology I
• Rhetoric and Composition
• Physics

Fun times are ahead!

Thanks Willy.....So far, so good.

And best of luck with your University efforts this Fall.

Well, been awhile since I've been in, Nice New "Digs" here. Guess I'll have to come in more often, or "Lurk" more.

Brian, have been doing a few things around here also, this over 100 year old house needs a bit of TLC once-in-awhile, plus some other stuff, keeps us going, me more than others.

Adrian, Try and stay cool; and Safe!!

Willy, hope you don't have a lot of bruising on the outside of face after the wisdom teeth were taken out; several years ago when I had mine removed (oral surgeon) my face looked like I had been in a very big fight.

Dan, Congrats of the new addition, hope Misty is getting along well.

I quit looking in mirrors along time ago just for the simple fact that I didn't want to face my stupid Landlord!

CW had to go run a few errands, so she asked me if I could take care of the lunch menu, so here goes;

The grills are going, there are hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, steaks being done now; along with corn on the cob and other "steamed" vegetables. (and Boy are they steamed! Especially after a certain story I told them!)

Tossed salad, cole slaw and desserts are on the side bar, so everybody "Chow Down"!

Nice cooler day here today, temps to only get into the high 70s today and I think it's going to have to struggle to get there.....only around 71 degrees right now. (1341 hours here)

Kinda hope it stays that way, maybe I'll get a chance to go railfanning after a bit.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.  Mom is now out of ICU and working on what we think might be the last IV she'll need.  Baby is healthy and with her.  She will probably come home tomorrow barring any problems. 

Years ago I asked my dad what he was worried about one day.  His reply was that I'd understand someday once I had my own family.  I think I have a much better appreciation for a lot of things after what we went through...and he's only 3 days old!  Just for the record...poopy diapers aren't that bad. 

Willy - rhetoric & composition = forum

Johnny - google "Ogden Nash Dentist" and you may find what you are looking for

Dan - all your shirts will be decorated with urp.  Very fashionable!

Daughter's Facebook page today has an entry "Went all day without spit-up on me!"

With a seven-week-old, that's a noteworthy accomplishment - worth sharing.

I did, and found the "poem!" http://originoftheword.blogspot.com/2006/02/ogden-nash.html 

I discovered that you had remembered one of the couplets of the whole composition.

Readers of Ogden Nash soon discover that his lines seldom scan, and he works overtime to make words rhyme (and, again, he may change the pronunciation of a word so that it rhymes with another, as he uses "dignity" as a supposed rhyme to "benignity") --yet I have long appreciated his humor.

Thanks,

Johnny

Evening.

Got grandpas yard mowed today. Also got one of the doors made. The other will have to be made again... When using a circular saw, you must be precise.

Well, after we got the door made me and grandpa heard a loud BOOM! SCREECH!!! We looked out from the garage to find grandpas neibghor standing by his John Deere mower with a person and a blue moped laying next to it. The guy on the moped smashed into Tom's mower. (Tom = grandpas nebighor) The guy had bleeding from the mouth. We called the ambulance, and thay took him away. Smashed the front of Tom's mower in really bad. Also peeled the side of the scooter off. (Like a bananna)

So how did your day go?

Dan, glad to hear that mom and baby are doing well! We will keep praying for them!!!

Take care! Justin

Mutt, thanks for taking care of the lunch menu for me!  I really appreciate your help around here, along with the others who help out also!  

Well, our high today was supposed to be about 78 degrees.  We didn't make it:  our official high for today, as reported on the latest news/weather update is 71.  Second coolest temp on record for this date.  Back in 1986, I believe they said, was the coolest for July 1:  73 degrees then.  

Mutt, you did such a fantastic job of grilling, that there is enough left for supper tonight.  

Dan, so very glad to hear that Misty is better, and I hope she continues to improve daily!!  

Tom, glad to hear that your dentist appointment went so well.  

Everyone have a great evening, and any of you taking off for the long holiday weekend, take care and come back next week, safe and sound.

Justin, one of the major rules in cutting is: measure twice and cut once. You may be able to avoid bad mistakes if you follow this rule.

In our living room (which I paneled going on twenty-five years ago) there is a place with two pieces of paneling where there should be only one--because I was careless in measuring. At least, I was able to cut another piece to fill my error in. What's really bad is cutting too short; if you cut too long, you may be able to cut it right the second time.

Can you sleep nights for thinking about your upcoming trip? I wish you and your family well in your vacation trip to Colorado and back. As the Southern Pacific used to say (a long, long, time ago) "Getting there is half the fun."

Johnny, Very Good Words of Wisdom, although the one I Grew up with was; "Measure Three Times and Cut Once"!   Not that much difference, but..............

(or you could go out and buy a "Lumber Stretcher")

[just as good as 50' of "Flight Line" or a bucket of "Prop Wash" ]

(believe me, I've made my share of errors over the years! (and then some!)

Good morning. 70 degrees at sunrise in Carolina, headed for HOT later. Last time I fixed breakfast, we almost had an insurection in the ranks, so I will defer to Paula for the cooking. There are some leftovers on the bar, tho, so make yourselves at home till the cook shows up. Mookie, here is your mug, coffee, that is. Everybody stay safe and cool
