Quotes from las casa de Melanie

"Tie-Breaker"--Bebo. "It wasn't a tie"--Melanie. "Semantics"--Bebo.

"You have a great bum. Footrests have to be square."--Bryan

"Oh. My underwear's still in my pocket."--Amy

Bebo: "I like that show." Melanie: "Well, it's a good movie." --Discussing a book.

update

so bebo left for montana this morning to fish with a buddy. apparently for his comps meeting (to OK his intended comps topic) he received comments like "ya know... comps are supposed to be hypothetical. ..not so much based on real data..." and "you get this published & I'll give ya a PhD let alone comps!" and "don't tell him that!" So Bebo's feelin pretty good about himself. On another completely related note. One of the comps committee profs informed Bebo that a collaborator at Harvard had similar data on the same gene & that he better get his butt in gear or he'll get scooped. So Bebo's feelin pretty stressed to get all his confirmation experiments finished.

Nailing Jell-O to a Tree.

So I just returned from a very disheartening encounter with some resident orthodontists located 3 buildings to my East who informed me that trying to fix my oral problems with invisalign would be "like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree."

Oral Problems:
1) Tooth grinding due to a lack of "Guidance," a result of my uncaring left incisor.
2) Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Click on both sides.
3) Right front snagle-tooth.
4) Over-jet (commonly confused as over-bite).

Why should I fix problems stated above?
1) prevent cavities
2) prevent waking up after just grinding off a piece of tooth which I can feel floating around my mouth.
3) prevent waking up at 80 with my brand new teeth in a glass next to my bed.
4) prevent headaches, migraines, facial pain, neck and shoulder pain, sensitive or loose teeth, ringing ears, jaw pain, numb fingers/arms, worn or cracked teeth, & depression. (All which can be attributed to suboptimal jaw alignment, aka TMJ)
5) Get first rate care from doctors rather than assistants at less than half the price of private practice, a univeristy discount, and a payment plan with no interest.

Why not to fix problems stated above?
1) Two years of ugly braces.


Quiz: Should Melanie get braces?

What can happen in 4 minutes?

#1: Spilled frozen peas on keyboard of laptop while googling whether or not drywall required primer.

#2: Discovered basement was flooded.

#3: Said flood ruined un-hung drywall laying on basement floor.


Recap:
Peas + Laptop = Not Smart Combination
Roots + Sewer Drain = Backup into Basement
Drywall + Water = Useless
