Someone asked me the same thing!  I said I was trying to contact the mothership.  

Another one I just thought of is "can you be quiet please, I'm receiving a transmission."

**ominous drumrolls***

"Molar #14, you have been accused of treason towards your host and your fellow teeth.  You jettisoned at least a third of your mass, necessitating 6 days of chewing on the right side of the mouth only, using beeswax as a temporary filling, the chronic use of ibuprofen, and causing the waste of an afternoon off (not to mention the waste of very expensive fuel) for your host to make a 2-hour round trip to the dentist.  We have known you since the age of six, Molar #14, and this disloyal conduct both shocks and grieves us.

"You have been found guilty on all charges, and the punishment is beheading (insert whine of drill)  The pitiful remaining shreds of your body will be forever encased in gold as a warning to all who would follow your path.  And may the Tooth Fairy have mercy on your pulp."

I have to get a crown.  Bleah.  And the gold is more durable than the porcelain, but I don't want a gold tooth (whine, whine, whine).  It's going to cost around $750 (thank God my dental insurance should cover part of it), thus making my tooth the most expensive thing in my house, edging out Agatha P. by over $100.  I hope she can handle the demotion.

The temporary crown is in place and I go back in 2 weeks for the gold permanent crown. (GOLD TOOTH!  AAARRRGGGHHH!!)  If the nerve is damaged I'll have to get a root canal, or have the tooth removed.  I'd almost rather have the thing cut out, but we'll see.  With a little luck the GOLD TOOTH will be all I have to do.

On a happy note, my BPAL arrived today!  I got: 13, Zombi, Blood Rose, Blood, Mata Hari, Catherine, Santa Muerte, Wicked, Aizen-myoo, and a bunch of frimps:  Water of Notre Dame, Voodoo, Snake oil, Nuit, Roadhouse, Sacred W hore of Babylon and Rage.   I'll be smelling good with my stainless steel tooth.  Just call me Sweet Smellin' Jaws.

I wore the french twist/bun today and it got all smashed flat in the dentist's chair.  BTW, the purple stuff used to make the cast of my tooth tasted like super glue.    I can still taste it even after eating a Pecan Mudslide from Dairy Queen.  Yes, I celebrated going to the dentist with ice cream.  Shut up.  8)

Sakina, frimp = free imp.  Beth @ Black Phoenix throws in a few random freebies with each order, which is nice because she often includes things I"d never try on my own.  Like Roadhouse--the scent of weedy dandelions, hops, tobacco, and hemp--I would never have ordered that in a million years.  It's surprisingly light and kind of sweet, but doesn't last long.  On me, anyway.

I have some imps of scents that just don't work on me.  If you'd like to try a few I'd be glad to send you some.

Thanks, BB.  I'm not sure how much my insurance will cover.  My dentist said, "Your insurance should cover......part of it."  Note suspicious pause.  I didn't argue because it needs to be done and it isn't his fault insurance is evil.

I went through my doily patterns last night.  I used to love to make doilies but I developed carpal tunnel, PLUS there is such a thing as doily oversaturation; you can easily have too many doilies.  It's really amazing how few doilies are required to reach critical mass, and you can only give away so many before people start to avoid you in the street.  BUT.....a small doily, or just the first few rows of a large doily would make a kick-@$$ bun cover.  Whee!  I know a large doily makes a great snood, but I have a big head and small patience.  Plus the whole carpal tunnel thing.  I really, really, really, really should clean the house this weekend, but I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that I make bun covers instead, most likely while watching my Road movies.  I finally finished Utopia last night.  Great ending.    I wonder how they got that past the censor in the 30's? 

The cats are driving me crazy.  I"m half tempted to put up a little shack in the front yard and live there and just let them have the #$% house.  I'll catapult some kibble through the windows twice a day.

Chopstick bun today.  I forgot to set my alarm clock and woke up 45 minutes late.  Of course the fuzzy things didn't wake me up as usual.  On the plus side, I feel much more rested and I was only 10 minutes late.  I made the chopstick bun because it's quick and of course the annoying hair wouldn't cooperate, so I ended up with10 magic grip hairpins holding up the whole shebang.  I had to re-do it at noon and it worked fine.  I think my hair is jealous of all the attention my tooth has gotten lately.   

I hope you don't mind my popping in...I really enjoy your writing, it somehow appeals to my sense of humor, I always end up giggling to myself. When I was reading about your bun covers, I had an idea about how to attach them around your bun. Could you weave a string of ribbon around the edge of it to tighten it rather than using lots and lots of pins? You could always tuck the ribbon in. Just an idea. 

I've tried that, but pins or hair sticks of some sort are still necessary to keep the bun "against" the head, instead of hanging off like a hot dog. Did I just say hot dog?

More like a pouch.

ETA It helps to make a hairstick bun first, with a ketylo or something. Then pull the hair stick almost "out" until the tip is hidden in the bun. That's when you attach one side of the bun cover. Then push the hair stick "in" until the "head" of the hairtsick is hidden in the bun. Attach the other side of the bun cover. Then use the other hair stick and attach. I'll take photos and post them in my journal soon hopefully. Good luck and I hope that made sense.

My acquaintance w/LML began 'cause I was having a flakey scalp and I wanted to try her scalp oil and scritching w/the horncomb.  When I placed that order they sent me a gift of small bottles of BTN duo-superclear shampoo & #10-B conditioner.  My skin has always been dry so I thought there's no way I'd ever shower everyday, and my hair always seems to take forever to dry, too.  I'm tellin' ya that after a couple of weeks of trying it out, and yes I started showering everyday that my skin is happier and my hair (honest to whaterever deity you like) is drying faster.  Indoors w/airconditioning.  It is strange, but true.

13bodies, I can't understand her site, either!  LOL.  You know, I think it's the heat-my Sweetie has been sh#ty instead of sweet lately.  Sorry you got scratched, I have all sorts of scars from kitty scratches.
I'm happy, too, that someone else got the foilstix.  It's a strange relief, but at the same time I'm like "Someday I'm gonna get me a pair w/those kinda beads!"
I hope your tooth feels better soon!  What kind of icecream do you like?
