I’m tired of this world. I’m sick of authoritarian reactionary arseholes attacking people who aren’t like them.
Starting a commune on St Kilda looks more attractive every day, especially as there is now no-one alive who has lived there permanently. I doubt the National Trust for Scotland or QinetiQ will let me though.

Don’t run away, too many good ones do that and in a generation their dreams fade away.
At least give us a year or so…a non-fading-away-and-instead-growing-quickly option is in the works.

The good news is that civilization goes in cycles. We (as in humanity) have been here before and recovered.
The bad news is that civilization goes in cycles.

I doubt I could, disability limits what I can do and moving to an isolated island in Scotland would probably be a bad move.
My gaming PC is back, admittedly with a far less powerful graphics card. I can get back to distracting myself when things feel like they are too bad for me to cope.

A big chuck of tooth just came out while flossing. Guess the nice paycheck I was looking forward to is going on dental work. Awesome.

Root canal #4, I guess.
British teeth FTW!

I thought that was ancient history. (The one time I tried to get dental work done when I lived in England I went in for a cleaning, and the dentist decided only to clean the 3 or 4 worst teeth.)

Danny’s doing as well as can be expected. He is eating and drinking. Defecation is an issue but we’re adjusting the stool softener dose, and that should do it. The liverwurst suggestion is working well (thank you so much @d_r!) though the little brat still needs to be watched so he doesn’t spit out the pills. 
Yup, he’s stubborn, just like his owner. But he’s doing well, so far so good.

Administering pills sucks but you get used to it. I was the designated pill giver to administer daily meds to two cats for many years so I know how much it can suck.
You can get an oral pill injector from your vet as a backup for those times when he’s being a real pain with his meds. Just load up the pill, stick it in his mouth, and pop it down his throat. Follow up with treats as needed.
Anyway, glad to hear he’s doing ok. Sounds like he just needs time to heal now. I’m sending best wishes your way.

Can’t retroactively put fluoride in the water… or can we?

I know those feels. I knows them.
Moved to a new town recently. They don’t put fluoride in the water here. Like heathens.

Well, it was a filing that fell apart, not a tooth. But it still needs a crown. Good job I did all that overtime last week. Not what I wanted to spend it on, though.

You got paid for OT?
Stupid CSC going you are exempt… so yeah no OT for you…
On the other hand they didn’t get more than 40 hours out of me.
