I am surprised to hear they used nitrous on you. I have never been offered nitrous despite billions of visits to the dentist, so I assumed it just wasn't used anymore.lisab said:
Not me. I worked for a hospital, and was very suspect when they changed the name from "Family Practice" to "Family Medicine".lisab said:
Why don't you watch the whole film in 24-or-so easy yearly installments of 5 minutes? You should be done by 2039. I heard the 7th installment is amazing.zoobyshoe said:

After the dentist, I went to the eye doctor - first time in many years! And I mean *many* years, like 10 or so. I wanted to get a thorough check-up, because my dad has gone blind from macular degeneration.
The doc gave me a once, twice, thrice-over and declared my eyes healthy. But she had to dilate my pupils to do the exam.
I spent the afternoon with a drooping mouth, cheek chewed up like hamburger, drooling, a bit loopy from the nitrous (my hands feel like two balloons), eyes dilated so much you couldn't see the blue. And strangely cold...couldn't get the chill out of my bones for the longest time.
But I'm STILL the biggest fan of modern medicine ever!
poor lisab, i am going for my hip operation on Friday so you can have a laugh at me.Good luck with the operation. Work hard on the physical therapy that they give you and you should recover quickly. 'Quickly' being a few months of course.wolram said:I am reading this and eating breakfast at the same time, i nearly choked with laughter

Glad to learn that there are actually old VIP soldiers around. I am excited while waiting for them to teach me shootings, oh "Hey Freeze! hands up, turn around... put your hands behind your head!...Lie down on the floor NOW...Oh yeah"Borg said:Happy Veterans Day. Thanks to all of you who have served!
That's the old army. The new one just shouts " Put your hands in the air, like you just don't care" which is confusing, since if you did not care you would most likely just do nothing.Silicon Waffle said:

After a couple of my friends had insisted that "The Da Vinci Code" was a pretty entertaining movie, I finally decided to give it a try... I had to see it in three parts on three different occasions... Why? Because I fell asleep twice while watching it (it's true).I could not watch The Da Vinci code. So much garbage and nonsense, just could not do it.DennisN said:
There seems to be this notion in Hollywood, maybe generally among many directors, that films that are historically or scientifically accurate cannot be entertaining.Evo said:
I think you are right. Conspiracy is really big right now. Hidden knowledge.WWGD said:
If Jerry Maguire had been scientifically and historically accurate, I would never have been bored.WWGD said:
You would have really seen the money?zoobyshoe said:
Yes :), it's remarkably and utterly far-fetched. But also incredibly tiresome, IMO. Like a box of sleeping pills.Evo said:

Reminds me of a scene in Dragon Ball Z when a planet was supposed to blow up in 5 minutes but actually ends up taking 10 episodes before finally going Kaboom. Some pretty serious gravitational time dilation on that planet, eh?zoobyshoe said:

Ok, sorry, maybe it would help to know that in some countries it is Tuesday the 13th and not Friday the 13th.PWiz said:Why WWGD, just why couldn't you wait for the day to pass before posting this
Ehh??WWGD said:
Sorry, meant that the days considered "special" are those when Tuesdays fall on the 13th, not when Fridays fall on the 13th.PWiz said:
