Deadbeat Blogger, teeth, and other matters
Now on to the teeth portion of this post to which the title eluded. Today at 3:10pm I will be getting the first 2 of 4 teeth ripped from my head. Yeah, I'm really excited. Small mouth + super far back/tightly packed teeth + years without dental insurance = Cavities requiring either extraction or hours of awkward positions and painful fillings. I was actually relieved when the dentist suggested having them pulled. I have to basically unhinge my jaw in order to open it wide enough to allow much work to be done back there. It's uncomfortable to say the least. The fact that I have to get my teeth pulled because of their condition is very embarrassing and I can't believe I'm putting all this out there for the world to use against me but, shit happens right? It's not like my personal hygiene is lacking because of things within my control. Tight spots and big hands...you do the math.
In other news George Carlin is dead. That sucks. He wasn't exactly a comedian from my generation but what kid (or adult for that matter) doesn't giggle through his "7 dirty words you can't say on TV" bit? He was and still is one of my favorite comedians of all time. He will be missed.

My husband adored George Carlin-although the last show we saw him perform, he had trouble walking and I'm surprised he was only 71-drugs and a rough life I guess.
The teeth-it's genetic and surprisingly, I have a small mouth too-I should have braces, however because of tightly packed teeth they mentioned pulling several teeth and I just said "forget it". When I had my wisdom teeth pulled (two pulled and two done in the hospital), the side of my mouth actually tore on each side a bit because of the small opening-my husband finds this bizarre, however it's true.
Good luck with it!
Good luck with the redecorating of the house and mouth.
Sorry to hear about George Carlin. I hadn't heard that he died. Sad. He was one of my favorites too. I really liked his "Alpha-male on beta-blockers" monologue. Maybe there
s a transcript of it somewhere. I'm off to Google it.
All my best,
