Stuck on Repeats

You can't get a "hot" tooth extracted or worked on. The mouth is a great vector for disease and the risk of the patient going septic (basically, everything gets infected) is very high. On the other hand, they should have given you some oxy for it, or at least norco.

This is an exquisite form of pain. Someone dropped a wooden stool on my big toe, breaking it, last month. That was pretty painful, but I still managed to bike and run on an eliptical machine with it. This makes almost everything unbearable. Nothing but yogurt to eat. And no booze. I may be suicidal/homicidal before this is done.

I have access to liquid dilaudid if you can make the trip.

Can you at least take drugs?

I have some form of vicodin mixed with ibuprofen, and it seems to work fine.

No reason to keep a wisdom tooth. I'm having it yanked.

I can see the dental assistant standing above, humming "Zou Bisou Bisou."

Damn that song is an earworm.

Speaking of cloves, a friend of mine recently opened a spice shop in Chicago. If you are anywhere nearby check it out: http://www.pinchspicemarket.com/ His blends aren't bad. (Though he made off with some Jerk seasoning that we brought from Jamaica to a camping trip about a year before he opened the shop. Graham still mutters every now and then about finders fees.)

Every Jamaican in the world, who isn't cooking on a roadside in Jamaica somewhere (and even some who are) use this to make their jerk pork or chicken*:

Who seemed to just be returning from lunch with an influential partner, regardless of whether you were applying for a non-lawyer job, as you seemed to be, your outfit, featuring funky boots, a short skirt, multiple layers of tops including some that were sheer, and funky eyewear, was not appropriate.

It was appreciated though.

You take it easy with those. Remember to save some for when you're feeling better.

He's in Wicker Park, of Exile in Guyville fame. I'm there every couple weeks. I'll stop in next time.

If Graham wants revenge, I'll give you guys my brisket rub next time he comes to visit. You can serve him the best brisket he's ever tasted and when he asks about the rub, Graham can grin maniacally and say "I got it from some dude in Chicago."

You, however, will never get my brisket rub.

That wasn't an applicant, you moron. That was his niece.

I assume you mean "niece," in which case he's doing well.

But the conversation suggested that they did not know each other well, and specifically that he did not know her father.

I'm not a pain pill guy. I should have asked for Xanax before the extraction. I hear you can get that if you plead extreme nervousness.

(Procedure took half an hour. I look like I just fought '80s Tyson, but it was remarkably easy. Less irritation than a cleaning or bleaching.)
