Are your power lines mainly above ground or below ground?

Above ground from cnr house to pole about 10 metres away.

Erk!…part of a filling came out and now I have a very jagged surface along the back of a tooth, and it’s quite sensitive. I’m literally drinking beer with a straw right now.

Scheduled for a Monday appointment - expecting to be told I need a crown…and they don’t take my dental insurance any longer. Double ouch!

All of that happened to me and then the crown came off... Now I have a hole to hide peas in.

I sympathise. I can't remember how many times that happened to me.
Not a problem now as I've only got about 6 of my own teeth left

Right there as well.

But still got all my teeth

Nothing quite says summer like near-80F/25C, blindingly bright sunshine, and the smell of a freshly opened, slightly overripe cantaloupe.

...the last bit I like.

I gotta laugh as we are mid-winter with day time max temperatures of 30 oC (86F)

It's tomatoes for me, just the smell of the stems when they are ripe triggers it.

Spring it's cow manure when driving past the fields (corn, soybean, cows) about 20 minutes away.

Agreed on manure means spring and tomatoes are summer. I get out to my plants and a few feet away it totally smells like tomato plants!!!

Extremely eerie ... it's Friday Night and we have a condo on the very far edge of town; normally there's absolute mayhem and uber loud ... but no, it's deathly quiet, not a peep for the past four hours, no traffic, no sirens going off, no young adults causing trouble ... very weird!

Somehow having driven back from Bristol/Bath today for a 1pm meal out which was served at 2:30pm (grrr, my pet hate, my mother knows I can't miss meals) we've ended up alone in my sister's house dog sitting.

My sister is on a train with her brother, his fiancee and a teenage daughter heading to Newport for the night... Only by the time she gets back tomorrow we'll have left to go and see my in-laws taking her dog with us!
