I heard on the radio yesterday that the invites for Micheles bday party specify that you should eat before the party cause they ain’t feeding you.

Cause Obama can’t stick the taxpayers with the bill for this one.

How Great Thou Art...awesome performance. Almost makes me believe the Hollyweirdos still believe in God.

When Obama opens his mouth
He tergiversates once more-
As ‘rats up for re-election
Scurry for the nearest door

They avoid being seen with him,
Afraid he’ll “help” them lose
Their precarious positions
As he tries on Nixon’s shoes

The irony of that footwear
Is that it was made to fit
Any politician who wears it
As he is stepping into s***...

Took a break from figuring invoices, got up from the chair at the computer, turned on the TV to get some news-and saw Huckabee scolding people who say “rino” and saying what a great candidate Jeb Bush would be-turned off TV, sat down at the computer again-when I break again in awhile, I’ll leave the TV alone and go hike along the river instead-the creatures in the woods make more sense...

So the permanent crown broke before it was permanently cemented in. Today they had me come back to make a new mold because they did not want to merely repair the crown and put it in. They want to make it out of something harder so that it won’t break on my again. Today I needed Novocaine to make a new mold. 3 more weeks till it’s done. RME It’s a dang saga. What will go wrong next. I am on my second temporary, as the last one broke. I am thinking since they pulled this temp out and put it back in today that now it won’t last 3 more weeks. I am ready to scream. It’s gonna hurt when the Novocaine wears off, too.

That is just cruel and unusual punishment. I have decay under a crown that I need to force myself to have taken care of before it reaches root canal stage. I feel for you.

Just came back from my neighbor’s. The husband is on a feeding tube and oxygen. The wife had bladder cancer surgery Wednesday...all good news from there. Today the cat was wailing. Cat has failing kidneys and now diagnosed today with diabetes. The diets for the two diseases contradict each other. Cat gets routine shots and IV fluids, now needs two shots a day for diabetes. Vet advised they let the cat go, and they will do so tomorrow. They are spending one last evening with her. Her name is Sophie. The drama was too much for me, I scooted home.
