Those will work. TBH, if your dentist is as good as mine is (I hope so) and you don’t have any complications, then your recovery will be less about pain and more about discomfort and weird feelings in your mouth. Most of the painkillers I’ve taken so far were OTC. They also prescribed...

Jackie Bezos has died. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/jackie-bezos-jeff-bezos-mom-235128974.html

Not shocked, curious as to the whys & whens they became scammers.

I fell for HERO hard when it first hit shelves as Champions. Every supers game I’ve purchased since then has had merits, but falls short for me. The closest contender has been Mutants & Masterminds. What they have in common is they both have incredible flexibility in character creation. The...

I tend to just ignore the pure scammers, but the ones who legitimately earned some kind of medical degree and STILL tell lies are infinitely more concerning. They have credentials giving them a veneer of credibility, turning any discussion into a battle of experts.

I’ve noticed a lot of white-coated snake oil salesmen online these days. Some even have legit degrees. I always wonder when they became scammers.

Mine was a molar, too. And my insurance only knocked off $200 of the bill.🤷🏾‍♂️ Speaking from the other side of the experience, let me say that the trickiest part of the recovery (so far) is having to be conscious about only chewing on one side of my mouth while the surgical area heals. I...

As I recall, they’re now a subsidiary of Popeye’s. Church’s is still using their own recipes, so they’re their own thing, culinarily speaking. Which is good- I love Popeye’s, but Church’s is a nice change of pace. I just wish there was one closer to me. The closest one I can remember is...

But even there, there’s local competition.

Can’t say I’ve had the pleasure, but there IS a hipster-famous pizzeria (with 2 locations) that has cracker-thin, cracker crunchy crust. Did not appeal. We also have a pizzeria that was on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. I haven’t been back...

How is it your hometown has no locally owned eateries? I lived in Manhattan, KS for a while, and even there, we had some non-chain options. Granted, that’s not a guarantee of any kind. When I was there, we had 2 Chinese restaurants: a good one and a very bad one.

Yep. My Wills & Estates prof said a person alone with a pen and a pad of paper were the most dangerous things in Texas probate. And the shortest will recognized in Texas was “Mom takes all” scrawled in the dirt after a nasty farm accident. Note: both are physical, not electronic.

Those kinds of challenges exist for a reason. But y’know, I don’t think it would work out for better for him if he actually gets a retrial, unless Uncle Ruckus somehow gets selected for his jury.

I had a tooth extracted today. It needed to be done- I had a freak accident that led to an infection under it. It wasn’t pleasant, but it WAS painless. I wouldn’t want to have this happen again, but I wouldn’t hesitate going back to the oral surgeon who did my procedure today. And this was...

Alpacas might spit, but they’re not really aggressive. Llamas, OTOH…

That planet sounds like “Space Australia”. Clearly, someone needs to introduce an invasive species analogous to rabbits… [music]Send in the gnomes, there ought to be gnomes. With Giant Space Hamsterrrrrrrrs.[/music]

Yep. I don’t remember if I covered that specifically in my thread: https://www.enworld.org/threads/psa-dying-intestate-is-a-p-i-t-a-take-care-of-your-“final-arrangements”.694942/ But an unprinted Word doc wouldn’t meet the probate standards in any jurisdiction I know of.

Be the Joneses everyone wants to keep up with by getting emus. Or alpacas.

I don’t know if it’s still true or not, but at one time, Dark City Games used a version of the ITL mechanical system in their games. https://www.darkcitygames.com/
