This slower connection makes simulposting Soooooo much easier!

Ok Irv, one MM with @ and ~ on top coming up.
---------------> C(~)

!

Thanks, I needed that! And now dinner calls (I'll be back later!)

*staggers in*

Criminimiliny, but l have backlog to catch up on...why can't you people just maintain a steady silence when l'm gone?

*begins her gargantuan reading task, realizes, with a slight nervous flush, that she shall now be meeting the fabled lrv. Fusses with hair accordingly, hands slightly trembling, hoping there will be no repercussions after her history of llEM-dinking*

Hi Odra, perhaps it is because we don't maintain a steady silence when you are here, so find it hard to stop once you've gone?
Drink while you trawl?

*calls in a muffled voice from beneath the mountain of backlog*
Could l have a blackcurrant tea with honey, B-17?

*stands, sloughing off the mound of posts*
Sigh. l can't wade through this just now. Too angst-ridden, l am, over my impending wisdom-tooth-removal. l must go and compulsively scour the web for reports of tooth-removal-related deaths...sigh. Why can't l just leave the dratted things where they are? They're perfectly happy there. l leave them alone, and they leave me alone.

Sorry Odra, one blackcurrent tea with honey
------> c)~(.
Don't worry about wisdom tooth removal. it might be a bit painful, but it is a perfectly normal process.

Mm. Thanks.
*sips*
Sigh. Maybe it is a normal process...but it's not very reassuring, being informed by the oral surgeon that possible complications involve raging chronic infection, "dry sockets" (which sounds like something out of "This Old House...what am l, drywall? Are they using spackle?)fractured jaw, TMJ, sinus troubles, stroke, seizure, heart attack and/or death...

Or on the lighter side, some discomfort, looking like a hamster for a week or so, yellow bruising turning to purple, popping antibiotics for a week or so, and then normality returns and no further troubles
from impacted wisdom teeth!

..but they're not impacted...not yet, anyhow...

*brightens*

How about l just wait -until- they're actually impacted? The pain and misery can be my impetus to have the surgery done!

Why put yourself throught the extra pain and hasstle?
The end result is the same, which ever way you look at it?

*jingle-lingle-lingle-ling-a-ding-ding*
*enters w/one eyeball still rolling from log-scroll*
*puts hand over malfunctioning eye and shuffles to couch*

'Lo, all. IIEM iced sumatran, please.

Odra, I have never heard of anyone permanently changing planes of existance from widom teeth surgery. I was born without any. I guess that would also go the other way as I have heard of people having more than one set.
Then you get to go in again. My mouth torturer says no extra charge for laffing gas, tho.

*notices eye is no longer scrolling and lowers hand*

sheesh! really wasn't loooking forward to wearing a patch, me buck'o.

Evening jr *passes over I S from the IIEM*

*Reads pitifuly little backlog (just the stuff that happened in the last hour or so)*

I think I agree with B17. Oh, and Odra, if people keep calling me things like "fabled", "legendary", etc, it's going to go to my head, wich is a big enough problem because I'm in an Oscar Wilde play (the Importance of Being Earnest) which opens this week and my character has a big enough ego as it is.

Hi plain old Irv!
Hi Odra, B-17, jr!
Can I get a Redbeard's Brew and an uncertainty donut?

One RBB adn one UD coming up.
----------> & O?

'A HAaannNNDbaaAAG?' LOL

That's a great play, Irv... Who are you playing?

*wades out from backlog pile again*
Hi, Redbeard, jr...*briefly considers genuflecting, but considers against it*..lrv. Sorry about the wasabi, if Lil mentioned anything about that...as well as the charred parquet, the scarring of the Babelfish...and so on...
