      I guess it's always something - my teeth are just fine but I have problems with my gums!
      Who was it, Katharine Hepburn, maybe, that said "Old age isn't for the faint of heart, or something similar?

        I know it was Bette Davis that said "old age is no place for sissies." Not sure about 'faint of heart'. It sounds like something Katherine would have said, though.

          That may have been it! I know it was something like that.

              There are HOW many people on Earth? I swear I keep encountering the same handful of personalities over and over again.

                  Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

                  Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

                  "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                  John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

                  "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

                    I should start cataloging my observations.

                      My tooth infection had me up till about noon. Finally the tooth pain subsided (no ear pain, which is an improvement) and I passed out till about 7pm. I've been doing nothing the last 5 days except try to sleep and then pass out when I am finally able to sleep. I just feel poopy. I'm actually looking forward to Tuesday and the pulling of my tooth (or teeth if I decide to do two at once!)

                        According to my shrink, there are only 6 (or was it 8?) major personality types, with a few subtypes. That Meyers-Briggs things has 16 personality types.

                        So yeah, we're limited.

                          Ouch. I had a wisdom tooth pulled a few months ago (it had a crack in it) and it was much better gone, so I know what you mean about looking forward to having it pulled.
