I went back and read it, Galen.
I figured you were in the middle of creating a masterpiece.
I just didn't want to take too much time creating my own blurb lest I lost my treasured spot.

if you can't get to the dentist get to a pharmacy and pick up some clove oil. put it on the achy tooth. wishing you a pain free day.
Wow Strumpet, YEA! So how is it there where no comments about Leopold von Sacher-Masoch?
I love Mr Knowitall. You always have such fun facts. Gotta love Mr Reuben although after over eating yesterday, I think I need to stop thinking about FOOD!
Good luck with the tooth. I hope your dentist can see you today G.
Oh I want to change my name to Snowelf Hooligan.
That'd be cool. :)
I hope you can see your Dentist today and your ouchie goes away.
(woo hoo, I rhymed.)

Get thee to a dentist Oh Great And Mighty One!
I find Leopold mesmerizing.
But, not as mesmerizing as YOU, Sir Gayland.
Barman, I just went and read down from the comments after I typed the above.
You are reading my mind.
Leopold is apparently the Godfather of Kink.
Leave it to Galen to feed my knowledge on the topic.
I overate yesterday too!
Galen,
I hope your tooth is better. I'm gonna have to get some clove oil now to keep around the house. Thanks, Lime!
Snowelf, DO IT. It WOULD be cool.
tooth ache?? AAAUUUGGHHH!!! A few shots of whiskey might help =- but then you'll need something stronger in the morning.. :(
Hop you had a lovely Christmas - try to stay warm!
How is your toof?
I know that Leopold guy. In fact, I think I used to date most of those guys except maybe the Poinsettia guy.:) I hate it that your tooth is still hurting. So ... tomorrow? Dentist? Huh?
So you would have us believe that Masochism is a sexual disorder???!!!
NOW you tell me!!!!!!!!
Hope you got your toof some help.
Tequila helps.
Hugs!
