Pinball. I really feel like playing pinball. I wonder if anyone around here has pinball machines.

older pubs probably do... would a place like that be any type of trigger for you?

Church of the Silver Ball answered my email immediately. They don't have regular public hours but they say Playdium over by Square One has 4-5 machines.

By gawd I might just do that. I wonder what kind of zoo that is.

I wonder what they charge for pinball these days. I bet it's not just quarter-a-game any more.

Probably some game card where you load up credit and swipe to play.

Prolly. Don't think I'll head out there today. Maybe midweek next week if I still have the hankering, some day when I can get an earlier start.

I just had a look in my mouth with a flashlight at the area where I had the tooth extracted and infection scraped etc. etc.

It looks like a bomb went off in there. Just a little bomb mind you. But there is some notable (small-scale) carnage.

The suture is kinda hanging loose there. I can feel it with my tongue. At first I thought some piece of food had lodged itself into the hole and was sticking up - a grain of rice perhaps - that's why I looked in the first place - but it was just the suture thread hanging out over the hole that my tongue was feeling.

I am considering gently pulling on it with tweezers and seeing what happens.

I did exactly that a couple days after I had my tooth extracted and the whole thing came undone. Bled for a couple minutes but then everything healed perfectly. The dentist apologized for her crappy sewing skills.

I did that once Muddy. Bled for a week. Made the area all swollen. I wouldn't advise that.
I had a tooth pulled once, it healed up just fine.

 

[Mudcat]

Well it is supposed to fall out on its own right around now anyway. It is definitely loosening up. Guess I'll just leave it. If I choke on it and die, it's on you guys.

[Mudcat]

There. I just choked and died.

Happy?

Sometimes people say, "Life is precious." A lot of the time, what they really mean is, "Human life is precious," if not in fact, "My life is precious."

Life in general? Not precious. It's everywhere. In every goddamn corner under every goddamn condition.

Life? You couldn't get rid of that shit if you tried.

Muddayyyyyyyyyy :rip:

As it turns out, reports of my demise were premature.

 

[Cami]

Oh thankgod! I was so upset!

I had McDonalds earlier this week by the way. It was a continuation of my mission which began last week which had me trying KFC after ~15 years. It had probably been that long since I had McDonalds (other than breakfast stuff).

Here is my review:

Much more expensive than I imagined. I had a Quarter Pounder w/cheese, large fries, 10 McNuggets, apple pie - no drink. It was close to 20 bucks. Is that possible? 18 and change? Seems like I must be forgetting something I ordered but I don't think so.

The fries were absurdly salty but the burger, while nowhere near as good as my own burgers, was better than I would have guessed. Except for the pickles. Weird pickles - I had to remove them. McNuggets and pie were okay.



As with KFC, I'm good for another 15 years.
