So a tooth broke. Fractured in the gum leaving the root tip in the bone. Bit down on a frozen snickers bar. 3 weeks ago. Been sort of painful and wobbly but you get used to it.
Anyway, went to the dentist today and he tugged it out. Broken top bit came out pretty easy - by the time he said you won't feel a thing I didn't feel a thing.
Then he had to work out the tip embedded into my jaw. That did make me wince.
So now I'm a tooth down but at least it doesn't hurt and stopped bleeding pretty quickly. Course, I think the drugs he injected me with might be lulling me into a false sense of happiness.
Moral of that tale: frozen peanuts are bloody hard.

Ouch. My mom knows that feeling, as she has broken one of her teeth three times so far.

Ouch.
I feel for you and I am glad that it is all fixed up.
My only question is, why do you freeze a snickers bar?

I didn't enjoy the 80s as much as I should have at the time. I was still in the 70s. I listen to 80s music a lot more now -- on cable. I want my 80s-era MTV!
And I was thinking of getting a mullet...

One of the best things I did was unplug outside of work. I use the computer sometimes, but it's mostly for researching fitness. It's been very positive for my family, and the best part.... I don't have to wear a mullet.

And 30 years later, nothing about his personality appears to have changed. Except maybe he smiled a bit more then.

I'd previously dismissed touchscreen swipe keyboards as idiotic and without any redeeming value.
But earlier today I discovered that for filling a form with dummy data that smeary-smeary-smear allowed me to be lazier than tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint-tapity-fingerprint did for a given value of filler. On the other elephant even when I try smearing real words instead of random values its fail rate is high enough to sustain the remainder of my snarking.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have to admit, for regular typing, the swipe-smear-swear keyboard on my nexus 7 is a lot faster and more accurate than tappity-tap.
For code, however... Elephant the sunshine elephanting elephant.
It had flaws: it always does "coffee" when I want "code" for example. But it's pretty good. Heck of a lot slower than a "proper" keyboard though.

After a stressful drive to the USCIS office (did they really need to remove an overpass and gum up the interstate??), followed by difficulty in locating the room once there, the actual Naturalization Interview was entirely anti-climatic. The civics / history test was a doddle, in fact I'm certain up to a half of the country could pass. The very pleasant officer has recommended my naturalization to US citizen (which should happen within the next couple of months). I am amazed given the gruffness of the typical immigrations officer at the airport how polite and cordial all the USCIS staff are at the regional office, and not just towards a native English speaking Brit like me.
In other news: The recent purchase of a bright red growley V8 muscle car at age 38 has led Mrs MidwestLimey to conclude I'm having a midlife crisis. I've told her to hold off on that comment until I start with the tight jeans, hair dye and hitting on 20 year olds.
