The Tooth Is Out! There!
Well, it’s out. That bad, bad, naughty tooth that broke a few years ago, but didn’t hurt until a couple weeks after the entire filling finally broke out in March of this year, is out of my mouth.
There was a small challenge with my blood pressure prior to the procedure, but that was dealt with and now I’m down to 26 teeth in my mouth. (I had a tooth removed about 20 years ago.)
Hopefully, once the jaw is healed, the residual pain that I still have to control with Tylenol and ibuprofen will go away.
Hope springs eternal.
A Dimland Pedantic Moment: Nostalgia Zone’s Member Benefits
My listener knows that I record my show fro the basement of Nostalgia Zone, a comic book store in Minneapolis. I do an ad for the store each week, in which I let people know about the store and our free member ship program.
Being a member gets you 10% off comic books, magazines, and other goodies. You also earn points (10% of what you spend) that can be used to save even more on future purchases. The only drawback, if it can be called that, is you’ll get one or two emails a month. AND! Select comic books and magazines that have been on the shelves a while begin to get more discounts on our huge selection of back issues from the Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Modern Age.
Do you collect comic books? Well, head to nostalgiazone.com to sign up and find those treasures you’ve been looking for.
Hang on! I crammed an ad for Nostalgia Zone into this Pedantic Moment?
Well, yeah, but this is because a friend went all pedantic on my when, on a show from a couple weeks ago, I made it some as though the additional discounts members get on certain books can add up to 90%.
OH! That’s not right! I goofed up.
Hopefully, I clear up the apparent error in math.
Hope springs eternal.
Quackery For The Dogs
A dog-owner living a block or so away from me felt it necessary to let me know, as I walked by with my dog, her pooch was just getting back from her first chiropractor visit.
Sigh.
I didn’t tell my neighbor of my doubts about chiropractic. It dubious enough for humans, but for dogs? I call bullshit. Chiropractors might honestly believe they are helping and might be able to alleviate some lower back pain and discomfort, what they are really good at is emptying your bank account.
But why should humans be the only victims when animals also have spines to be cracked?
Humans can fall victim to the placebo effect and so can animals, sort of. It’s more likely it’s the owner and/or the vet the placebo is effecting.
In A Valley Of Violence Tells A Lot, But Doesn’t Show Much
It’s a recent Western. I generally like Westerns, but this one…
It makes the mistake of telling and not showing, or barely showing. We’re told the Town Marshal (John Travolta) runs the town of Denton as a kind of tyrant, but we don’t see much to show that. We’re told Denton is in the Valley of Violence, but, though there is violence in the film, we aren’t shown how the valley came by that name.
And I think there’s supposed to be funny moments in the movie, but none of the humor lands. At all.
According to Wikipedia, the movie did recent positive reviews, but I can’t see why. There is a good movie in here and there are a couple of good moments, but I think it missed the mark.
