    I have a friend who’s a Dental resident at a clinic. He pulls teeth all the time. Costs like a hundred bucks without insurance.

    Honestly I would trust him more than a lot of dentists

    You absolutely must discuss this with an orthodox rabbi. Otherwise you’ll be back here in eleven years saying something like “my husband and I got married based on advice we got here and now we want to do it right”

    I would imagine the newer ones are all electric, which would mean they don’t use motor oil, just a little grease on the moving parts occasionally

    People are acting like they’ve never seen a snowstorm before. It’s not really a big deal.

    Or is it? I’m not actually there…

    I’m a coffee drinker. I’m actually drinking coffee right now, out of a paper cup. I don’t see any problem which requires a solution.

    Also, you’ve clearly never held a handful of m&ms for more than 3 minutes

    Wouldn’t you get chocolate all over your hands?

    Cattle have it worse than sheep and fish. There is such a thing as “a fish” or “a sheep”. There’s no such thing as “a cattle”.

    LU,

    I’m sorry you were offended, but my post was meant to be a joke in response to DaasYochid’s post. He posted a link to a mod’s thread about long posts, so I thought it would be funny to respond with a post that was excessively long and completely pointless (i.e. I posted a really long post while adding nothing but two characters). I see now that it seemed like I was agreeing with LF, but that’s not how I meant it.

    “Maybe the guy who knows everything could help me out.

    I used to enjoy coming here to chill out. To share camaraderie, companionship. To enjoy the wide (wild) vast of opinions out there. To share jokes, a bright vertel, quip. To liven up my dull existence. And to bring joy and simcha, a smile and a grin to others. Lately this place has been more or less a back and forth conversation mainly between two people, back and forth and then forth and back. Pieces are so hard to read because each and every one of them are such long megillos. To make a short story long, the posts are so long, so very long. And they’re so hard to read. I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but it’s really hard to read. Because (whoops, I forgot why.. Oh, now I remember) they’re very long. And they are long megillos. So that’s why they’re not so easy to read. And keep track of. No – I don’t own the Coffee Room, never did and probably never will. So I really can’t have any complaints to anyone. I’m sure there are others too who no longer post here because there’s no more “room” in the coffee room.

    So sum it up – I used to enjoy coming here to chill out. To share camaraderie, companionship. To enjoy the wide (wild) vast of opinions out there. To share jokes, a bright vertel, quip. To liven up my dull existence. And to bring joy and simcha, a smile and a grin to others.

    Thanks, but I don’t deserve a sympathy diamond. My dentist has been telling me to have it removed for years, but I’ve been dragging my feet for no reason.

    Anyway, that diamond is really just a rotated square

    I had a dream last night that my teeth were falling out, but it wasn’t a nightmare. I have this impacted wisdom tooth, and in the dream it just randomly turned upright and then just fell out. I was so excited until I woke up and saw it was just a dream…

    All these things are much easier to say when you don’t have the money.

    The jackpot last year was around a billion dollars. All the things you just listed would barely scratch the surface. And again, it would take tremendous self-control to stick to only those things and not go overboard.

    Unless you have a tremendous amount of self control, it would be a real k’lalah to win that much money.

    You wouldn’t fit in anywhere. You wouldn’t fit in with middle-class people because you’d be rich. You wouldn’t fit in with rich people because you wouldn’t actually be rich, you had just happened to have won a lot of money.

    It wouldn’t be good.

    I do make an effort not to do any backflips in shul. Maybe that’s why my tallis stays on.

    The Jeopardy song IS TOO just “Twinkle Twinkle” with a funky beat. Try singing “Twinkle Twinkle” to the Jeopardy tune, and you’ll see that it fits.

    It is totally not. The phrasing is the same but the notes are totally different.

    Also, “You are my sunshine” and “This land is your land” use the same tune. As each other, I mean.

    Also not true. Again, same phrasing, different notes.

    They didn’t have microwaves back in the old country.

    Hence, anything made in a microwave can’t be a kugel.
