The good news is f00dave got my nose ring in.

The bad news is that somehow, during single person drills at wing chun, the filling in my front tooth spontaneously cracked. So make that six fillings I need to get now. Ohjesusjesus. That's a lot of money....

My muscles have all been really tense for the past week or so. Everything's related, dontcha know?

Lawsuit: Clinic Used Wrong Sperm: I'm of two minds about this. First, it seems pretty bad that this kind of mix-up can happen. And was the intruder sperm tested for diseases? Second, who the hell cares? They wanted a baby; they got a baby; they love their baby. Where's the problem?

Making Mice With Enhanced Color Vision: If you plug something like that into my brain, what colours will I see? Hey, wait a minute. Weren't previously-unknown colours a common element in the Cthulhu mythos? Does this mean that the scientists are Cthulhu to the mice (thanks, tdj)?

Tonight's wing chun class started with the strangest ab exercise I've ever done. It was a partner exercise. One person kneels, and the other person lies on their back, crotch jammed up against their partner's knees. The reclining partner wraps their legs tightly around the other person's waist. From this position, the reclining partner does crunches, and as they get to an upright position, they grab their buddy by the shoulders and try to pull them down onto them. Every now and then, the kneeling partner shoves the reclining one in the chest back down to the floor.

It is the humpiest looking exercise I've seen outside of porn.

My abs got a good workout. I'm not sure if it was from the exercise, or the uncontrollable cackling emitting from me. I laughed so hard that I covered my face with a big blast of spit. Hoorah!

Can you blame us? They're so cute when they gibber!

I'm ambivalent about the lawsuit, there. I *would* say that they're totally justified, but the racist ovetones of that whole "she's too dark to be our daughter" are kind of disturbing. But then, I guess that was what gave it away. And that may just be their lawyer talking.

This sort of "mixup" happens far too often, and I think the responsible technicians/doctors get a kick out of doing it.

I say sue them.

Obviously, you are crumbling.

But seriously, did you get fillings like 15
years ago? You have delicious mercury in your
mouth now! Don't miss the chance to taste it!

The Colour Out Of Space got in the well-water.

That spit was really mercury.

But it's a BLACK baby! OMG!

...the whole thing about how their child is not 'the same race or nationality or colour' as them really bugged me. I mean, the kid still came from the wife's egg!

Indeed they are....

The last time I had my front teeth filled was around 1992, so you're right on the money! Mercury. Mmm. Liquid silver. No wonder I'm crumbling.

Yeah, but eggs aren't as important as sperm. Or something....

That lawsuit story reminds me of a TV documentary I saw a few years back, about two British couples who had invitro treatment. One couple was black, one was white. The black couple had no luck with their foetal implantation, the white did. When the baby was born, it was extremely obvious that the white couple were not responsible for the genetic material of their baby. Questions were asked of course, but nonetheless they loved him dearly - after all, the woman *gestated* him. And he was their son. But the biological parents found out about it and took them to court. One of the key factors in their suit was that this white middle class couple, no matter how nice, could not adequately raise a black man. The bioparents won and got to take the boy, who was about a year and a bit old by then, for their own.

I didn't even see the whole documentary and I was bawling my eyes out watching the end. It was just terribly, awfully sad.

I have heard repeatedly that 15 years is the shelf life
of fillings. The procelain ones may look better and cost
more, but they don't last as long as the metal fillings.

You'll be mad as a hatter soon!

I'm having my own dentist woes, so I grok.

I'm not sure if this information is useful to you or not, but I've been told that clove oil is really good for pain relief of mouth sores, particularly those associated with teeth. Apparently, you just dab a little on with a Q-tip, sit back and enjoy the pain melting away.

I'm sorry that your teeth are crumbling out. I have nightmares about that happening - and it's happening to YOU for realsies!

and sadly, ignorance is more common than sense.
The child is the same nationality if they were all born in the same country.
Period.
Methinks someone decided they need some more money for raising the kid.
