I'm making myself a pizza for dinner tonight. I bought some new yeast and baking powder yesterday because the last crust didn't rise the way I wanted it to. Was still good but I was looking for a different texture. Low carb baking is a whole different animal and regular baking is tough enough.

Dishes are washed. No laundry. Made a couple of things to eat for snacks. Sugar free jello and fat bombs. They're made with cream cheese, peanut butter, and some kind of fake sugar. I roll them in cocoa nibs. They are stored and eaten frozen.

Got on the scale yesterday with my clothes and shoes on to see what it said. 175.5! I knew then that I needed to eat more. Then this morning without the clothes it said 171.5!! I couldn't accept that and got right back on there. 179. Guess that thing needs to be replaced.

I never fully trusted that scale because it pretends to be able to tell your body fat ratio by just standing on it barefooted. There is no height required or a measure of muscularity. Fake news!

44.8°F and rainy. Supposed to get storms tomorrow.

This has been one rainy January and February with little sunshine.

Auburn scares me; however, every team this time of the year scares me. I hope the boys show up to stick the boys from the plains.

I give them plus 5 for getting Wiley back, us a minus 6 for the loss of Travis, and a plus 4 for the home court. That is a net -7. If they don't hit everything they shoot, I think we win by 5.

There was a change of plans on the wisdom tooth saga. Instead of extracting one, we went with two. The upper and lower. Oh happy day. It is just now starting to clot so there will be no dinner for Ben. I almost sent myself flowers. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Milk shake is wonderful.

And it is straw friendly. I may try it.

Just saw an article where the University of Iowa suspended their basketball announcer for what they thought was comments inappropriate during their last game. The player on the other team had laid waste to them in the final minutes and the comment was that he was "King Kong." It was beyond obvious that the announcer was complimenting the guy for being a beast and dominated the game on the inside. But, because the player was black, someone made a 2 million mile stretch and was offended. This political correctness crap has gone too far. I am sick of it, and it has to stop. It has gotten to the point where you cannot say anything without someone making it racist, or sexist.

This PC nonsense is totally out of control. In our 2018 governor's election the GOP candidate complimented the state's economy and said we don't need anyone monkeying around with it. The Democrat was a vowed Bernie Sanders socialist and he was black. He was not attacking the race of the dim, just his socialist agenda. The dim immediately accused the Republican of being a racist and made that his main issue in the campaign. Fortunately he lost and our new government is a breath of fresh air in politics.

Ooops. I just read the post op instructions and it specifically says to not use a straw, since it has a tendency to pull the wound open. Maybe use a spoon.

Whatever you do ......... do it very gently. I guess you knew that.

With those scales your actual weight may be 200 lbs.

I was going to tell you that but I saw you had read it. I don't believe it though. There is no such thing as suck. You're just as likely to get a dry socket without using a straw.

When you say there is no such thing as suck, just remember that there is a thread on RR about IU that is hundreds of pages long to refute your statement.

Well, my chances are greater since they were both wisdom teeth, but, since I have two knee replacements they gave me antibiotics, so I hope that helps my chances.

 

[ymmot31]

Straws do not cause dry sockets when third molars are extracted.

 

[Ben101er]

Straws do not cause dry sockets when third molars are extracted.

I agree. I just think that my chances of getting it are greater because of the larger hole made by pulling a wisdom tooth, as opposed to a regular tooth. Everything I've read says that wisdom tooth extraction is more apt to cause dry socket.

 

[ymmot31]

Third molar is another name for wisdom tooth.

 

[ymmot31]

I had all four of mine pulled at the same time and the bottom two were impacted. He told me I was going to be pretty bad off by having the bottom ones pulled so I might as well throw the top ones in at the same time. Sounded like a plan to me. Face was swollen up like a chipmunk for about a week.

 

[Ben101er]

I know. I'm just saying that any concerns that I have, and they are few since I am on antibiotics, would be from the larger area vacated by the wisdom, or 3rd molar, than sucking on a straw. That being said, I probably won't use a straw. I hate them, and never drink from one unless I have a "to go cup" in the car.

That's tough. I imagine that was painful. Mine weren't impacted. They were just regular extractions so I'm not in any pain, and I don't have swelling. I came home and put an ice pack on my jaw, so I'm pretty good. The worst part of mine is not eating. I would just as soon not eat as to have broth. I should be able to eat something relatively soft tomorrow afternoon.

I really wish you would just go ahead and use the straw. I'm interested in knowing if I'm correct. I'll take full internet responsibility if anything goes wrong.

Damn the guy just wanted to pick his melons.

I read a long time ago that they used that same Ford truck for the whole movie. In fact, seems like I remember them using it in a commercial back in the day. Twin I-beam suspension for the win!

Must have been a super truck. I would have thought they'd bring in a stunt double.

 

[ymmot31]

How tough is this truck? Watch the awesome eight minute chase video where it is repeatedly jumped, bashed, smashed, slid, and hammered over rocks, cliffs, berms and other junk. Said truck also kills a few full sized Mopars that the bad guys are driving. There are few (apparently) stock vehicles that have ever taken this level of beating on film and lived to tell the tale. Yes, this truck was still running and driving at the end of the movie. The simple hand lettering on the doors and awful yellow color make it even better.

That's amazing! After watching this movie for the umpteenth time I never would have guessed that they used the same truck throughout the movie.

 

[ymmot31]

Yep, they built em Ford tough back in those days. Doubt a new one could go through that torture. Too many fancy parts to fall off or break.
