So happy that my checkup yesterday showed no cavities, and my cleaning went as smoothly as possible. <br /><br />I am getting some great ideas for reading material, now I just hope I can find them here at my library (or that they can order them). I love your lists and reviews.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-7590237004073480892018-07-25T01:28:16.776+01:002018-07-25T01:28:16.776+01:00I downloaded about 6 books this weekend...alll fre...I downloaded about 6 books this weekend...alll free from Kindle and non returnable. I just have to get in the mood to read. <br />It got up to 28 today and 12 miles inland from us it's still 36 according to the plethora of weather people on the 5pm news. This isn't the worst of it. We've got humidity and wind. No rain though. We desperately need some rain, in Central CA there is a raging fire nearing Yosemite National Park. Someone on twitter posted a time lapse of the smoke coming in and obscuring Half Dome. <br />I nearly choked to death because of that damn rubber dam. They left me tilted backwards and I could not breathe. Basically ignored me. I still have panic attacks going in or near a dental office.amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-52312125452429790002018-07-24T21:31:58.260+01:002018-07-24T21:31:58.260+01:00Oh I know just what you are talking about in regar...Oh I know just what you are talking about in regards to that awful rubber thing the dentist used. Here I think it is called a "rubber damn" and I had it for my last couple of root canals. I also felt like I could not breath with it. It is just horrid. Did they tell you that you would need a crown over that tooth? I have had to have a crown over each root canal I've had because the dentist said it was a "dead tooth" with the root gone and would lose its strength. I now have a mouthful of crowns but I suppose it is better than false teeth!

I'm also enjoying the weather. As somebody who is permanently freezing cold I'm finding it just nice although the past couple of days have been stifling. <br /><br />The house is something to think about but as you say the if/when/where's don't have to be decided just yet, if at all. Glad to hear your dental treatment is done and dusted. I get myself worked up over a filling so I'm in total admiration of you having root canal treatment. xxEveryday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-80240607958934613742018-07-24T16:43:42.346+01:002018-07-24T16:43:42.346+01:00I remember the summer of 1976 as my mother had die...I remember the summer of 1976 as my mother had died in the March and I needed a break from looking after younger siblings etc. and came back to Scotland to visit grandparents. I was there for 6 weeks and a couple of friends joined me at various times and we did a road trip through Scotland and England. I remember 2 days with a bit of rain the entire time - very unusual! <br />It is going up to 28C here today but will feel more like 35C with he humidity - and it has been this hot and hotter for the past month! Plus we get terrible humidity which means many days have felt more like 40C. But we have more access to A/C than you do so it must be exhausting for you all - please take care as the effects can creep up on you and be very dangerous.<br />I'm just back from the library where I picked up 6 books that I'd placed on hold and I am about to start Anne Cleeves' latest "The Seagull" and I'm really looking forward to it as I enjoy watching the "Vera" series so much. I just read one that might be of interest to some readers called "The Witches of New York" - really enjoyed it and there is definitely scope for a sequel or two so I hope that comes to pass.<br />Stay cool everyone.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-13482795776556863662018-07-24T14:54:26.190+01:002018-07-24T14:54:26.190+01:00If I came home to a note like that through the let...If I came home to a note like that through the letter box I'd be selling up in a heartbeat ... not sure what Alan would think though 🤣😃Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-14532783284918995692018-07-24T12:45:05.016+01:002018-07-24T12:45:05.016+01:00I will have to note some of those books you liked....I will have to note some of those books you liked.
