good news, kids!

I got a reasonable facsimile of your comments back on board! Some may have typos, or I may possibly have embellished a few to give them that tone of adoration I find so pleasing, but for the most part they're all there.

A quick update on the tooth problem: I get to see the special dentist on Monday and maybe he'll be able to fix me up. Until then, I continue taking The Antibiotic From Hell that not only cramps up the ol' fat tummy, but will probably result in giving me every woman's favorite "problem": The Vaginal Infection.

(sorry dad, didn't mean to gross you out).
