Oh...for the sunburn...just make up some regular black tea...and let it cool to room temp...soak a soft cloth in it and place it over the burn...the tannic acid pulls out the sting...and should keep you from peeling!!!

Seems that most of the women in my belly dancing class are gonna chicken out for our performance...so it's possible that I will be only one of maybe 2 or 3 that will be performing...
Oh, well...I don't care...I'm not sceered...!!!

She can even type southern! Point and laugh? Right! They'll probably try to figure out how to work your new talent into your duties.

Isn't dancing part of pegan ritual? I have absolutely NO idea, but for some reason I always though so.

Well...it depends on the person, really...and we have many different trads in our church...we welcome everyone...not just people with one belief system or way of doing things...
I hope that when you come thru that it will be on a weekend that we have circle...cuz I think that you'd really enjoy it...we have quite a diverse group...everything from Jewish Kabbahlist to Wiccan to Olde English traditionalist...to Native American...
I don't think we have a single person who has the exact same ideas as another...but we're open to all...
I'm kind of proud of our group, overall...mostly good, open-minded people...

Yep...but now I'm gonna have to send the rest of it back to school with my son...
Having 8 teeth pulled doesn't exactly leave much of an appetite for old fashioned fudge...

Ouch!!! That doesn't leave you in the mood to eat anything, let alone fudge.
I know what you mean about the teeth being pulled. What drove me crazy is that they damaged a tooth next to one that had to have a root canal. They damaged so bad that it finally cracked and I had to get it pulled. Now I need to get three bridges, two crowns and I'm looking into getting two implants. I do NOT want to mess around with a two tooth denture. I don't want to mess with ANY denture!

I'm gonna end up with nothing but...
The next time they're doing the bottom back...then the bottom front and putting in posts for a full bottom plate...then they're gonna take the rest of the top out and fit me with an immediate the same day...
Not fun, but I'll have a whole set of pretty new teeth...and I think I'll even try to talk them into making the incisors a little more pointy than usual...have some fangs!!!

I'm able to eat soup and such, right now...and they're giving me time to heal in between times...so it's not that bad...and believe me...I'm not gonna starve myself...I'll find something to eat...!!!

You can't live on shmashed potatoes and gravy (yes, I spelt shmashed that way on purpose).

I can till I can eat something else!!!
I'm able to eat soup and pasta and such...just nothing really tough...and once they heal up a bit, then I'll be able to eat more...
It's a pain, but it'll all be worth it...
