Spent a few hours in the dentist's chair yesterday and so this article caught my eye. My husband has stress fractures in his teeth, not from grinding them, but from eating unpopped kernels of corn. There's a lesson there, kids.

my dog, havoc

I rarely write anything personal, but this last week has been trying. My dog was climbing a tree, no really, a tree had fallen over and was at a steep angle. the dog saw a squirrel and ran up the tree then fell off, tearing his ACL. the vet fixed it for an astonishing amount of money. but the funny thing was the phone call from the surgeon which began, "your dog has a heart murmur and I'd like to bring in a cardiologist." No, really, a heart doc for a dog? The dog was a rescue mutt and is now worth more than the best of show winner at Westminster Dog Show.
And I still have to pay for a wedding! HELP! need fundraiser for vet bills

See kids. Things can be worse. Imagine your mom saying, "eat your praying mantis or no dessert".
