Today's fun root canal procedure was deemed a "success."

But I got to discover whole new levels of pain.

Yes, they used anesthetic, but the inflammation was so bad they had to dig down to the nerve itself and inject anesthetic directly into the nerve. Whee!

Now I get to experience a week or so of post-operative pain management with my new best friends Tylenol and Advil.

CNN - Your first name in news. Kate from smalldeadanimals.

CNN was forced to apologize to Dolly Parton’s family for mistakenly using a photo of a Las Vegas impersonator of the country music legend while reporting on her death.

The cable news network aired an image of tribute artist Kelly Vohnn as it covered Parton’s Tuesday death from cancer — leaving the 58-year-old Vohnn stunned as friends began bombarding her with messages.

The errant image were broadcast during “Laura Coates Live” some 12 hours after Parton’s death was announced by her family.

39 Had an interesting afternoon yesterday. Decided to play hooky and join some friends cruising around Newport Harbor, checking out the boats and drinking beer.

Eventually we came upon a group of flashing police lights on a police boat, more cop cars at the base of the dock and cops on the dock and standing on a Hinckley Bermuda 40 that was tied to the dock. We started to cruise over and see what was up and the cops aggressively told us to stay back.

Found out later that some 20 something boat worker from Newport had stolen the Hinckley in NJ, sailed it to Newport and then got into a gunfight with the cops. He lost. Permanently. Not something you see every day around the harbor.

Yes, but there is incoming crude of Canada to Kansas via pipeline as well.

It is a very stinky refinery. (Lived in Billings for many years)

172 > 161 And the most offensive thing a woman can do to another woman is to make a play for her man.

It’s disgusting.

I noticed a distinct downturn in the number of women flirting with me when I stopped wearing my wedding ring (around 5 years after the late Mrs. Borgia passed on).

I even thought about putting it back on, but nah, those aren't women I would want anyway.

The dating scene with this social media mindfuck is a cruel mistress unless you're a millionaire.

174 My crazy ex resued a Raven in GE, it was a really interesting animal that I got to love, but it had an annoying habit of pecking my wife’s rescue Rotty (perhaps from jealousy) near the tail stub. One day, after years ot torment the usually peaceful dog ended the Raven’s life with a quick mouth movement that drew no blood. Perhaps a life lesson some trolls should consider.
