The General Chat Thread (2016-2022)

I had all four removed at one time. I was under general anaesthesia, so I didn't feel a thing. I was pretty sore for a week or two, but nothing terrible.

Make sure to do all the rinsing they tell you to do. You will heal faster.

I had two removed at the same time, but the surgeon left a part in my jaw which became infected. They then had to cut through my gums and break off the remaining bit of tooth without anesthesia to remove the infected part . The surgeon was later fired for malpractice on me and others

So that and some worse things not mentioned here caused the anxiety.

I know it's going to be easy when it's done, but PTSD is not something any rational thought will shut down.

Maybe he's twice as smart. Considering that, I don't think I have any.

Actually, in some people, wisdom teeth never develop.

But most of us have four, and they often grow in wrong, and need to be removed.

Definitely. Even better is 15 grapes = 30 calories. Unfortunately, dunking grapes in tea or coffee doesn't really work.

I prefer my grapes crushed, and the juice fermented.

I don't have any wisdom teeth which may explain a few things

Never got the hang of shortbread.

One of my faves. Same as miss10, I told her I baked some, she asked me to put some aside for her. I did for two days, they're gone.

Green bin was emptied overnight. I'll load the last of the tree I cut down yesterday. Logs going to daughters friend, he has a log burner. Good result.

Today is the day we were originally scheduled to depart on our 30th anniversary two-week holiday to Norway (cruise) and London (city break).

Aw, who wants to see stupid old Norway, anyway? I'd much rather be sitting at home, doing laundry.

This is probably us for the next 8 days.

We're going the other way. It was nearly 80F/27C a couple of days ago, yesterday it was about 70F/21C, and now it's 7AM, and we're at 51F/11C and that's the high today. It's going to drop all day and we're expected to hit 28F/-2C overnight.

Numpty alert! I was grating cheese and accidently grated my knuckle as well, good job I am married to a trained first aider.

We got a nice, soaking rain this morning. My new pepper and herb plants needed that. I have no scientific evidence, but zI think rain water is better for plants than city water from the sprinklers.
