Stupidly sore tooth today, this will be the third time I'm going back to get it sorted since it was done (can barely do anything while it's hurting and it's going off randomly)

Is there any great loss in not having wisdom teeth? Tempted to ask her to just take them out as they keep on flaring up

No but you have to go under general anaesthesia :(

Some ops are getting done with local now. But I had general and I'd prefer that if I had to go again.

And no, wisdom teeth are irrelevant. Have 'em out!!!

Maybe I am externalising a little, but are you telling me nobody else experiences nonsense from people they know as a direct result of a lack of standards/apathy or our culture of having everything now whether it's the right thing or not??

Had my wisdoms out (2 of them, the others are fine on one side of my face, thanks to an inherited strong European/Spanish jawline, I'm told) under local anaesthetic.
By a friend of my fathers (a maxillofacial surgeon), as it happened.
Weird having him cut away my gum, set about the troublesome tooth with some pliers and asking me to pull against him as he wrestled with it.
Didn't feel a thing, just the sensation of movement and the sound of cracking bone.

That's what I remember. A couple of numbing injections then attach a metal ring round them followed by some twisting and a crack.
In & out in 30 mins.

I had mine out on a local 20 years ago. Glad to be rid of the buggers as my mouth was crowded enough before they turned up. I must say that having them out was one of the most miserable events of my life and then I had to walk about 3 miles home in a cold biting wind. Fortunately my dad had a little sympathy, he left work early and picked me up. :)

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Ukraine announced plans to open Chernobyl, their nuclear disaster site, to tourists. They say it's just like Disneyland, except the 6-foot mouse is real.

I have a friend who went there for a weekend a month or two back. Apparently the Russian soldiers that guard the site get rather twitchy if you start taking photos from certain angles.

My cousin's status is currently: "Anybody with a magic mouse know how to reconnect it after last OS update?"

Can anyone here help him out?

Get them to try the following:


Trash a preference file and restart (com.apple.bluetooth.plist)

Make the mouse a favorite:

System preferences>bluetooth. Highlight the mouse and click on the little gear thing and select show more options. Click on the gear again and make the mouse a favorite.

Taken from here.

Worth a shot, maybe?

Use preference pane to turn bluetooth on. If it has already being paired then simply reconnect with the option on the pull down menu on the menu bar under the bluetooth icon. That should work. If it does not show it in the list then add a device, and wait for it to be detected.

Many a true word spoken in jest. I'm running the latest OS on my Mac and it does indeed just work.
