Got my new crown yesterday. My first in-office crown experience. In and out within 2 hours with a pearly brand new molar where my old 12-year molar with its gigantic filling used to live. Only thing I felt was the initial prick of the syringe full of local anesthetic. And the pinch when I wrote out the check for $1650.
I asked the dentist if it was laser printed and he said no, because resin is not strong enough. The new tooth is machine-carved from a cube of porcelain after digital impressions are made of the surrounding teeth and your bite and the prepared stump of the broken tooth.
Today I go to the oral surgeon to find out about the hole the periodontist - yes, I have 3 dentists! - found in my jaw that undermines one of my implants. This is the same implant whose crown loosened up and fell out last year (I didnβt know implants crowns COULD fall out!), I plan to ask the oral surgeon if that was a coincidence or related.
I also need to ask him if my first implant could be related in any way to my hearing loss in the ear on the same side. The ENT says itβs probably eustachian insufficiency, but no treatments have returned my hearing. The implant involved a sinus lift and cadaver bone graft. Maybe he nicked a nerve.

Facebook is lit up with photos of the Aurora from all over the US, including the Deep South!
Iβm hoping they will still be visible on our return from Sanibel to Montana, but I notice that some of the photos Iβm seeing were taken on Sanibel! Should have taken a midnight beach walk last night.

From Doug Keller on Facebook:
β At a fundraiser with oil executives trump promised if they gave him $1 billion, he would roll back environmental controls. They were unhappy with Biden, but shocked by trump.
"At a Mar-a-Lago meeting in April, oil executives complained that despite pouring hundreds of millions into lobbying the government, the Biden administration had pursued stronger environmental regulations. βTrumpβs response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House,β the Post reports. In exchange, Trump vowed to roll back current regulations and freeze future ones. He told them that, given the savings, a billion bucks would be a βdealβ for them."
Meanwhile, Biden is stopping shipment of bombs to Israel that would be used on civilians, has been working diplomatically along those lines for a while now, and is clear in his message to Netanyahu. He is about to be ripped up one side and down the other by Republicans for doing so.
McConnell, Johnson, and Graham are excoriating Bidenβs action as βappallingβ and worse.
The choice is clear. Never perfect, but very clear.β

Some interesting commentary here, and no paywall for a change. (I guess the NYT wants readers to have free access to the stuff that really matters!) www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/06/fashion/met-gala-2024PS Bixa. The gown Kim K wore last year was actually the βHappy Birthday Mr. Presidentβ gown.

The gown is pretty, but a mite sheer in the mons area. Also yuck to those shoulder projections.

I like Mindy Kaling's dress! The bodice is pretty. The baby carriage hood and loop of excess fabric along the side are unnecessary and distracting.

And something is off in your spoiler. Word doesnβt match the green letters. (My short-term memory is SO bad, I can only copy and paste my grid. I could NEVER remember even two guesses, and it usually takes me 4.)
