Not wanting to quote that entire post.
Oral surgery went just fine, 'cept my left rear pocket was $200 lighter.

I had to have a rotten tooth pulled. It used to be if you needed an extraction you went to the dentist and he pulled it. Now you go to the same dentist for the same extraction & get sent to a surgeon, for God's sake!

Is everyone a freaking specialist these days???

Anyway, having had to endure the same deal once before (I inherited my mother's soft teeth), I decided I wanted laughing gas this time, rather than the needles. Wise choice! Only pain at all was a slight prick when a small gauge needle was stuck into my already mostly numbed gum. I was fully awake the whole time; all 5 min of it! Took longer to answer the 4 pages of questions out front, plus the same questions being asked again 15 minutes later by the surgeon, like something's going to have changed in that span. I put a quick stop to that crap! I am not a nice patient, at all.
Everything (except the stupid repeat questions) went very smoothly & I was on the way home 45 min later.

Oral surgeons for extractions and Endodontists for root canals.
However, I had a dentist I went to high school with that would do anything there was to do in a mouth. He did a root canal on me. It was never right. There was always a lump on that part of my jaw - for years. That was 35 years ago and I don't have a tooth left on that side of the rear of that jaw. He never could get it right. Whenever I had work done by an oral surgeon or Endodontist, all went well.

Hi all,

I live near an elementary school, and drive by it twice a day. Yesterday that very busy street was closed off. It took us about 40 min to go about 1/2 mile. Turns out an 8 year old boy was walking home from school with his younger sister. They were goofing around and she pushed him. He tripped and fell into oncoming traffic.

They took him off life support late last night.

I can't even begin to understand how his sister must feel. Or the driver of the truck that ran over him. Witnesses said traffic was going slow, but he had NO time to stop.

How many times have we gently pushed someone, not in anger, but in fun. For something so innocent to turn out so deadly is tragic.

I'm feeling very sad for their families....

So many bad things happen so often to good people.

I'm not sure why we worry so much about terrorism when way more people die from accidental incidents.
Since 9/11 45 people in the US have been killed by terrorism.
Twice that die every day from gun violence.
In 2014 alone, more than 3,000 people were killed by distracted driving.
Terrorism is not worth our concern.

Or ten!

10 goats is the perfect number. I won't have them until I have the appropriate place for them.

not sure there is a normal for byard chicken hatchers. I think its like 82% for hatcheries, broody hens its like 35%

shipped eggs can be all over the place

Broody hen success is way above 35% - unless you're talking shipped eggs.

Tell Mama you'll get a goat cart for the kids to ride in

They can just jump on and hold the horns. Two goats, two kids.
