Saturday, Nov 27
Langs Marina East
St. Marys, GA
It's hard to believe that this is the last Saturday in November and also the day that I pick up Katie at the airport. We woke at 8am to a Blue sky though breezy and chilly. It's 50F outside and 65F inside the boat. Since we're at a marina with electricity, we turned on the heater. It's to get in the mid 60's today.
After breakfast and cleaning up a little to make space for Katie's gear, we went to the Nautical Flea Market in front of the cemetery. Phil bought a chart book of Florida and I didn't buy anything. I saw fishing lures and a Mr. Heater Propane heater I was interested in but followed Phil's wishes in not buying. Christian of I-Wanda and Chuck from S/V Kiros and I were leaving early to go to West Marine in Jacksonville, FL and other places before we picked up Katie at the Airport about 1215pm. She's to call me when she lands so that we can coordinate. While at West Marine, I bought a small step that goes on the side of the boat to make it easier to get on Changes from the dinghy and also rubber legs feet to cover the ends of the boarding ladder. One had come off and both were in sad shape.
While I was shopping, Phil had gone to the StMYC pancake breakfast on the houseboat and then started to work on seeing why the LP alarm continues to alarm. He spent the morning checking the connections after he emptied out everything under the stove. He couldn't find why it was alarming, so bypassed the sensor and now we are turning off the stove at the electrical panel. He's pretty frustrated that he couldn't find the problem.
Back to shopping – while we were out, I saw a Jo Ann Fabric Store – first in a long time, so bought some red fabric with 1/8" white stars to cover a couple small pillows we have and maybe enough to replace the jean fabric – we'll see. It turns out that Katie's plane landed 15 min early, so we dropped Christian off at Best Buy and Chuck drove me to the airport. I went in just as the baggage was finished and she couldn't find hers. I turned around and lucky for us, her bag was off the conveyor along the wall so we carried it out together to the van. She did well keeping the weight down to 30 pounds. We picked up Christian and went to Office Max and then Walmart. Ken and Jean of Sail Away let us borrow a solar powdered garden stake light when we went back to the boat from their boat at night and the top of the light fell off and dropped into the water. I got one to replace theirs and 3 more. They work well holding it above my head for a light on the dinghy when we're underway at night.
After lunch at Five Guys (a burger place), we went home and got Katie settled. Then Katie and I worked together adding the food in the "L" locker of the starboard settee into the provision list since we put some of her extra cereal in that locker. After that, Phil took Katie for a dinghy ride around the harbor at St. Marys. By that time it was about 4pm, so we decided to go to the StMYC houseboat and have burgers and brats. That worked good for me and gave us another chance to talk to the locals since the harbor has cleared out considerably since Thanksgiving. We forgot to take one of the solar lights with us and after the sun set but still in twilight, we decided we better get home – good thing too as we saw an police vehicle at another boat at the beginning of the anchorage. Katie searched and downloaded some pdf books to my Nook and made up her bed and went to sleep. Phil and I read and were in bed by 10pm as we have an early start tomorrow morning. It's good to see Katie again, but we're back to searching for a place to sit.
Sunday, Nov 28
St. Marys, GA to Pine Island
Distance Traveled: 49.5 nm
Total Distance: 1658.53 nm
Distance Traveled: 49.5 nm
Total Distance: 1658.53 nm
We woke at 6am to clear skies and 42F outside and 58F inside the boat. I had woken at 2am cold and put another quilt on Katie and another quilt on our bed as it was 58 inside. Sure glad that we have the heater to turn on this morning and it warmed up the boat to 65F by 630am just before we left. We started the engine in twilight at 640am and left the dock 5 min later. As we were motoring down the river, S/V Sea Tramp was also leaving as we called hello and safe travels to each other. They are going to Brunswick, GA which I told them was the wrong way J Winds are NE 10-11kts. We ate breakfast of cold cereal while we were still on the St. Marys river and today is another day of many rivers. We'll be starting on the St. Mary R. to Amelia R by Fernandina Beach to Kingsley Creek, S. Amelia River to Sawpit Creek, Sisters Creek and crossing St. Johns River to Ablo Creek, Pablo Creek through the Cabbage Swamp. Then we'll take the Tolomato River and either anchor off this river or if we're doing well with the currents, go on the Matanzas River to St. Augustine, Florida.
When we got to Fernandina River, we saw some of the boats that had been at St. Marys for Thanksgiving, some of which are Sail Away, Mandate, and Glen Lyon. We were able to catch Ken's attention and waved to each other. We chatted a couple minutes on the radio so know they were going to leave a little later after getting showers.
My first watch started at 845am just after going through the Kingsley Creek RR Bridge at MM 720.7. It was up to 55F outside and winds are N 6 knots. Katie continued to sleep this morning while it was cold and she woke about 930am. Phil resumed his watch at 1045am and we let out the head sail getting a .5 knots pick up in speed. We had some turns, so there were frequent adjustments to the sail, but that was ok. After awhile I went down below to make apple crisp and Phil rolled in the head sail before going through another bridge. While it was in the oven I decided now that we had the saltwater pump, to wash the baskets in the refrigerator as there is still some fishy smell. I really like the pump so I had plenty of the outside water to wash and it makes washing dishes so much easier. After that, I fixed sandwiches for lunch.
Katie took her 1st watch after we explained the GPS and the finer points of steering on the ICW. She is doing well. Glen Lyon is now behind us and passed us at 217pm. It's 73F outside, Winds are NE 2-4 knot with gusts to 8-9 knots. We are now in the part of the ICW that have very nice houses – looks to be $1-2 million with huge 2 story screened rooms. Interspersed with ranch houses with docks on the east side. The West side of the ICW is all vegetation.
My friend of HWR called and it was decided that we'll anchor a little before St. Augustine so that she can go out to dinner with her sister and new friends. We'll be able to get together tomorrow evening after work. We are looking to anchor at MM 765 just south of Booth landing and 13 miles before St. Augustine.
We anchored at MM 765, ICW G25 at 335pm. The water in the Sun Shower felt warm, so Lorraine took a shower. Turns out that the water wasn't warm. Phil shaved and then we were invited for wine on S/V Glen Lyon anchored behind us. We went to Rodney and Sue's boat at about 415pm and had chardonnay box wine and brie cheese and crackers. They have a dog, Muffy – a Havenese and a black cat named Cat. Both pets are very friendly. Cat was next to Phil for petting and he let Phil know with a tap of his paw –to continue petting him. The dog does his business on the deck. They made reservations on a mooring ball in St. Augustine for tomorrow. For $20 plus tax so Phil called and made a reservation for a mooring ball for us also. Will give us piece of mind as the current is to be strong there. It cost $10/day to be able to use the dinghy dock so $10 more wasn't too much for our budget. Rodney rushed us home after the sun set as we had rowed over and he wanted to make sure he could find us if he had to go after us as we were rowing against the current and the wind. Turns out that we made it home with strong rowing with Rodney and Sue cheering us on. I'm sure that we'll see them again over the next couple days. They are such nice people and we had a wonderful time. BTW, Katie stayed home to take a shower and when we got back she said "the water was cold!" We know! I told her and offered to warm up water in the morning. But her hair is washed and hopefully the showers will be good with the mooring ball.
I made spaghetti for supper and had the apple crisp that I had baked this afternoon for dessert. For some reason the oven isn't cooking right. Phil thinks that it's the stainless cookware being too thick that's the problem. I'll have to get some thinner pans for baking. When I used the thin foil disposable pans, the dish cooked in the proper time so maybe he's right.
We spent the evening reading and I went to bed at 830am. Don't know why I was tired, but there you go.

That is without a doubt the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I love it.
Someone should get the Nobel Prize for that idea.
BTW: is that thing glued on or simply stuck up her ass – er, cloaca?
Don't tell me it's stapled …

Weaponizing of common house pets and domestic animals is very interesting to the members of the World Peace Activism group that meets Wednesdays at the Supreme Central Library of Mitchieville. Do attend.

It has to be glued. The Mayor has tried staples and suction, but glue (super-dooper glue) is the only thing you can really count on for ultimate stickiness.

Ah-ha, Mayor. I thought it had to be glue. Bet they used that super-glue that instantly cures with that neat ultraviolet light (as seen on TV).
Besides, If they just stuck the stick up the birds wazoo, it would walk funny.
No, wait … forget that.
Fennris, I had an idea for weaponizing Onion-grass – that onion/garlic-smelling weed that always grows in my yard first thing every Spring that smells like … well … onion & garlic … when I mow it. Is there a group for weaponizing domestic plants?
I have some pretty good rocks in my yard, too. I've always thought that rocks had real weapons potential.

You should put a tail on a rock. When you throw one, it looks like a dinosaur flying light speed.

It's so close to Mother's Day and I made this card for my Mother-in-Law because she loves flowers and especially the colour blue. I really love this lace and added some bling to highlight the flowers on it. I used the green wires on the base of small flowers to create tendrils by wrapping the wire around a bamboo skewer. I decided it was about time I started using up my horded supply of flowers and can't believe it's taken me so long to have the confidence to splash the flowers onto my cards! I got this scallop oval punch for my birthday recently and I just love it!!

"Make clean," "purify" being a frequent rendering of the original. It is found often (American Revised Version) instead of "purge," "purify" (the King James Version), renders nearly the same roots, and has the same overlapping phases, as "clean."
1. Physical:
Physical cleansing, often figuratively used:
"Stripes that wound cleanse away (tamriq) evil" (Proverbs 20:30); "A hot wind .... not to winnow, nor to cleanse" (barar, Jeremiah 4:11); "Straightway his leprosy was cleansed" (katharizo, Matthew 8:3).
2. Ceremonial:
In the ceremonial sense:
(1) With a very strong religious aspect:
to purify from sin by making atonement (chaTe); e.g. the altar, by the sin offering (Exodus 29:36); the leprous house (Leviticus 14:48-53); the people, by the offering of the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:30); the sanctuary, by the blood of the sin offering (Ezekiel 45:18).
(2) To expiate (kaphar, "cover," "hide"); sin (in this case blood-guiltiness):
"The land cannot be cleansed of the blood" (the King James Version Numbers 35:33; the American Standard Revised Version "no expiation can be made for the land").
(3) To remove ceremonial defilement, the principal use, for which the chief root is Taher:
"Take the Levites .... and cleanse them" (Numbers 8:6); "and she shall be cleansed (after childbirth) from the fountain of her blood" (Leviticus 12:7); "Cleanse it, and hallow it (the altar) from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel" (Leviticus 16:19), etc. This use is infrequent in the New Testament, except figuratively. Clear instances are Mark 1:44: "Offer for thy cleansing (katharismos) .... for a testimony unto them" (also Luke 5:14); Hebrews 9:22,23:
"necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these." Physical, ritual, and figurative uses are combined in Matthew 23:25: "Ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter." Acts 10:15:
"What God hath cleansed, make not thou common" uses the figure of the ritual to declare the complete abolition of ceremonial defilement and hence, of ceremonial cleansing. For the elaborate system of ceremonial cleansing see especially Le 12-17, also articles \UNCLEANNESS\; \PURIFICATION\. Its principal agencies were water, alone, as in minor or indirect defilements, like those produced by contact with the unclean (Leviticus 15:5-18, etc.); or combined with a sin offering and burnt offering, as with a woman after childbirth (Leviticus 12:6-8); fire, as with Gentile booty (Numbers 31:23; by water, when it would not endure the fire); the ashes of a red heifer without spot, mingled with running water, for those defiled by contact with the dead (Numbers 19:2). For the complex ceremonial in cases of leprosy, combining water, cedar, hyssop, crimson thread, the blood and flight of birds, the trespass offering, sin offering, burnt offering, see Leviticus 14. Blood, the vehicle and emblem of life, plays a large part in the major cleansings, in which propitiation for sin, as well as the removal of ceremonial defilement, is prominent, as of the temple, altar, etc.: "According to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood" (Hebrews 9:22).
3. Ethical and Spiritual:
In the ethical and spiritual sense, using the symbolism chiefly of 2. This embodies two phases:
(1) the actual removal of sin by the person's own activity, "Wherewith shall a young man cleanse (zakhah) his way?" (Psalms 119:9); "Cleanse your hands, ye sinners" (James 4:8); "Let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement" (2 Corinthians 7:1);
(2) God's removal of the guilt and power of sin, as, by discipline or punishment:
"He cleanseth it" (John 15:2, the King James Version "purgeth"); "I have cleansed thee" (Ezekiel 24:13); or in forgiveness, justification, sanctification. In these latter cases the exculpatory idea is sometimes the prominent, although the other is not absent: "I will cleanse (Taher) them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon aH their iniquities" (Jeremiah 33:8); "Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse (Taher, "declare me clean") me from my sin" (Psalms 51:2). "Cleanse (naqqeh; the American Standard Revised Version "clear") thou me from hidden faults" (Psalms 19:12), while formally to be understood "hold innocent," really connotes forgiveness. In Ephesians 5:26, it is hard to determine whether pardon or God-given holiness is predominant: "That he might sanctify it (the church), having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word." In 1 John 1:7, the sanctificatory meaning seems almost wholly to absorb the other: "The blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us ("is purifying, sanctifying") from all sin"; but in 1 John 1:9 it is again hard to determine the predominance: "He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." The uncertainty lies in that the second clause may not, as in our speech, add a distinct idea, but may be Hebrew synonymous parallelism. Perhaps it is not wise to seek too curiously to disentangle the two ideas, since they cannot be separated. God never "clears" where he has not begun to "cleanse," and never "cleanses" by the Spirit without "clearing" through the blood.

3. Asking the kids to predict direction of air and everything first, then launching the balloon to let them see what would happen. His balloon made a funny sound too, so it was very funny for the kids. Both ds wwere "wowing" away, and you can hear ds2 going "wahhhh" in the video.
4. So he launched it again and this time I just captured the kids' reactions. btw, ds2 still has the stitches in his mouth so that's why his mouth can't close properly. he looks like he has braces. ha.
5. After explaining further, he took a Y-shaped valve, attached the bottom to the blown balloon, then had the 3 way Y valve attached to 3 different hollow straw-like propellers. He explained the direction that the air would take also, and tied it in again with Newton's 3rd law. Then he launched it. The kids went wild!
6. Describing angular momentum, then asking kids if they wanted to try it out themselves. Ds1 tried it, but this vid of him is not exactly long enough for you to see the concept in action. Most kids fell after folding their hands too, cos it went faster than they expected. But one boy did it long enough.
7. Presented the bicycle wheel. :-) Gyroscope actually.
9. This one is just for laughs but he also used it to introduce the liquid nitrogen.
10. She asked, "Can this long balloon fit into the small container?". "No way!" was answered by many. But it did!
Some other demos they did that are not here:
- pouring liquid nitrogen onto the ground to show it is not water or dry ice but rather super cooled air.
- pouring liquid nitrogen onto a blown-up balloon, which shrinks to a tiny bit, then holding up the shrunken balloon in the air. it returns to original size. of course, he's really funny, and he acts like he's a magician making the balloon "grow larger".
- attaching an unfilled balloon to a test tube filled with liquid nitrogen. the balloon will fill up with gas till it pops.
- putting a bimetallic strip into the liquid nitrogen. it emerges bent, then as it stays in air, it goes back to being straight.
- having 2 identical balls. bounce them. place one of them into the liquid nitrogen then take it out and then bounce both balls. the one in liquid nitrogen doesn't bounce now. knock both of them onto a glass bowl. the one placed in liquid nitrogen makes a clinking sound with the glass now.
This is from one of the pics we took, just by pointing the camera upwards, cos the sky was just filled with millions of them flying. I edited the pic to make a photo book of the trip, so that's the pic I chose for the cover of our photo book.Will be back soon, trying to pack more boxes now.
Then it was our turn. They weighed ds2, so that they'd get the correct dosage. Then I was ushered into a private office with the anesthesiologist and a dental assistant. I sat on a comfy chair with ds2 on my lap and the doctor explained the whole procedure to me, how long it might take, and asked if I had any questions. I asked about the jab etc. He was very nice and patient, and kept telling me I asked very good Qs. Very reassuring person, although he must have been asked these same Qs 100x a day.
He would be giving ds2 a shot of ketamine first. Yes! My young son gets to take that drug at 3yo!! Ok just joking. Ketamine is actually good if you don't abuse it. It makes them drowsy but they are still able to breathe on their own. This is unlike General Anesthesia when patients would need a breathing tube, and so this method has less risks. Also, in kids, they don't cause hallucinations like how they do to adults. I also jokingly asked if he would get addicted to it. He won't, according to the Dr. It's too low a dosage?
So I hugged him, and the dental asst, held out a whole basket of toys and asked ds2 to pick what he wanted, so we talked about the planes, the cars and the skateboards. The Dr was holding the syringe and needle already. It wasn't till he jabbed it down into ds2's upper arm that ds2 knew what was happening, but I think it wasn't very painful, because he just cried a bit and was distracted back to the green plane that he chose and we (both I and the asst.) were talking very excitedly about it. I used my best animated high pitched voice.
Although the Dr had already told me how ds2 would react to the drug, it still was a little scary. Just after 1min, his hands went floppy and he dropped the plane onto the ground. I was still talking to him, but he seemed to be unable to hear me. I think if this happened at any other time, I would have called 911 and dash him to the hospital. His eyes were open wide and he stared at me, but more like, past me or through me. It was a vacant, spaced out look.
The dental asst left after picking the plane up for me to keep. The Dr had told me about the wiggling of the eyes too, but again, I was so surprised to see it in action. It was just so weird. Both eyeballs, or was it just the iris and pupil, moved rapidly from side to side. Ok, maybe just the iris and pupil. They jiggled from left to right quickly, like a little jerk, then stopped, then moved again. That kind of thing. The Dr said he could carry ds2 onto the dental chair already, so I passed him over. But I asked if I could take pics first.
I don't know if it was odd to him, but he said ok, without any reaction. So I followed him into the dental room at the far end, where the dentist was waiting. The dentist looks like Grisham in CSI (Dh said, not me). Anyway, he is also a very kind and confident person. Firm and warm handshake. But definitely camera shy. He was testing ds2's eye reflex when I took out the cam, and he darted to the side at once.
They wouldn't really mind if I stayed in the room, but there would be less hindrance if I went out to wait, and there is a long wait too. So I went back to the waiting area and told Dh and ds1 they could go out and get lunch if they wanted. I stayed and picked out a magazine to read. The office had many interesting periodicals actually. TIME, sports and race cars mags, and all the parenting and women's mags, then a range of kids' mags from Highlights to NickJr. But now it was my turn to be like the mom I saw earlier. Read a magazine listlessly. I prayed very hard too, of course.
They apparently did X-rays first, so they knew if there were any more hidden decays. Cos shortly after, the dental nurse or maybe a just a more knowledgeable dental person other than the dentist (don't know what term to use here) came out and showed me the X-rays on an illuminated fluorescent board. She explained the films to me and shockingly showed me an extra tooth that ds2 has, on the upper row of front teeth!
My first Q was anticipated by her. She said it was not the permanent teeth, and she showed me the whole row of permanent teeth, quite cool to see all of ds2's perm teeth waiting there in a row to emerge when he is 6yo and older. Ha. It truly was an extra tooth! And it was in the position just above the incisor, in between the current milk incisor and the permanent one. She said in future, when the permanent tooth is going to grow out, it would be impeded by this extra tooth, and it would cause pain and crooked teeth, and I would eventually still have to get it out. So would I want them to take it out now?
I thought about it and asked a few more Qs, then said yes. What they would do is, to cut the roof of the mouth just behind the incisor, and then take the tooth out. They called it odontoplasty - which is the remodelling of a tooth's enamel or the removal of it.
I read up a bit more about extra teeth (supernumerary teeth) at home after that, and other possible complications might arise if they are not removed, for example, fusion of the nearby permanent tooth with the supernumerary tooth.
The most common type of supernumerary teeth would be the mesiodens, which is what ds2 had, right in the middle, above the incisors. see this dentist's blog. His blog has been very useful and contained a lot of info that I had already read up on before the visit. He also explained sedation in some other posts. http://cyberdentist.blogspot.com/2007/01/mesiodens-or-extra-tooth.html
He did say in his post that he would wait till the extra tooth emerged before pulling it out. However, in the 48 comments that ensued after his post, I read in many cases that the teeth that grew out later are misaligned or that the permanent teeth or the extra tooth did not grow out and still had to be removed. So I guess since ds2 was already sedated, it made sense to just remove it now.
I was also surprised to see so many blogs, so many cases of supernumerary teeth online. I didn't know it was that common because I had never heard about it before, from my family members or friends. However, one online article did say it can be hereditary. All the articles did say that it has to be removed because it is not normal.
Ok, after that, I went back to waiting in the reception, and that Dh and ds1 came back with my lunch so I went outside to have the taco.
Then we all went back in and Dh and ds1 settled down to play Super Munchkin Card game (which Eric and Elaine, the newest engaged couple in church gave us). I still didn't feel like doing anything that required concentration. So I held on to the same magazine and flipped the pages, looking at pictures of beautiful cakes and how to make them. I checked the time constantly, and the minutes ticked by slowly. When one hour reached, I began to be a bit fidgety.
Finally, the dentist and anesthesiologist came out at 3.30pm (2hrs after ds2 went in) and brought us to the recovery room. Ds2 laid on a huge bean bag, with his finger attached to a heart rate monitor. They told us he may take anytime from few minutes to 45min to wake up.
There was a TV and DVD player there, and the dental nurse asked ds1 which DVD he would like to watch. He picked a dinosaur one, and then she gave him a popsicle to eat. Nice touch, to occupy the elder sibling.
Ds2 looked really poor thing. He lay there motionless, with his mouth still wide open. He felt a little warm, but it wasn't a fever. This is the pic. Notice they placed a lined bin for vomit too (top right hand corner)?
Both dh and I looked into his mouth. We saw the stitches, and there was still a little blood coming out of the incision. We saw the 2 stainless steel crowns for the premolars at the back also. He could've had the pretty cosmetic white porcelain crown, but I thought it didn't matter, since it was for milk teeth. Dh said when the teeth fall out, we can keep them as souvenirs.
His lips were very dry (ketamine slows saliva production) and cracked. And the sides of the mouth where the lips meet are also kind of red and sore. The nurse explained that his mouth is very small, and they had to keep it open with this device during the treatment, and his lips kept rubbing against it, causing friction sores. So poor thing.
As the dental nurse checked his teeth, he stirred and woke up! That was quick. He looked around then cried. The anesthesiologist was already working on the next kid already, but the room was just next to ours, doors opened, so he came in and said his head may still be floppy, so we shouldn't let him walk around by himself. He may be nauseous, disoriented and dizzy too. He said, his mouth would feel very dry, but it was still numb, so after 3-5minutes, when they were sure his mouth had regained some feeling, they would give him a popsicle to rehydrate his mouth.
I and Dh took turns to carry him. He wanted to be carried all the time, and he was heavy! So I was very glad that Dh took leave that day. The other reason was ds1. When he saw the dental nurse prodding in ds2's mouth, he got overcome with anger and cried and said that nurse was hurting his brother. He got a but emotional after that, until we distracted him with the dinosaur. So it was good both Dh and I were there, so we could pay full attention to each son at all times. I know ds1 was probably scared that his brother looked like that too, initially, motionless and then later on when he awoke, he was so miserable. So I did explain everything to him.
He does tend to get very protective over ds2 sometimes. Even with other younger kids too. In church, he got very angry with others who, in his opinion, mistreated Zoe, a toddler in church that he likes a lot. Eg, the Elder Brian was playing with Zoe one evening, when ds1 kept shouting at Brian. I asked ds1 why he was shouting away so angrily, he said Brian was bullying Zoe! So possessive.
Below is a pic of the still dazed ds2. Still in the recovery room. They needed to observe ds2 until he can keep his head up by himself.
In the meantime, I settled $350 of the bill. The rest would be covered by this charity group discount that I applied for. The total bill came up to almost US$1800. I have the itemised bill, and it doesn't look unreasonable actually. I am not too shocked at this. My dad had crowns on his teeth too, and his cost S$7000 last time. He had several crowns I recall.
Besides the 2 crowns, and the odontoplasty, there was the anesthesia cost ($450 for 2 hours), resins for the surfaces of 6 teeth, amalgams for several teeth, 3 pulpotomies, prophylaxis and intraoral periapical X-rays. The resins are the white colored ones, and they are more expensive than the amalgam fillings which are silver in color. Well, if my students or my kids were to ask me for advice on the specialty to take when they study medicine, I would suggest anesthesiology. On my bill, it says, the first 30min of sedation cost $150, and thereafter, each additional 15min cost $50. He started in the morning at 6am, and he was still working on other kids after ds2. Can you just make a guess how much he earns in a day?
The dental nurse asked me to settle the $350 which they said would be paid to the anesthesiologist, so I know he takes all of it. :-)
Dh said it's a really stressful job though. And this Dr is really nice. He gave us his cell phone number and said to call him if we have any further questions or concerns. Dh said, basically, he is on call 24/7.
Overall, we are very happy with this clinic, their service, the dentist and the treatment. They are really patient too. Not just with my Qs. While I was waiting for ds2, the next boy came in with his parents and a younger baby sister. I know he had fasted too, for 6 hrs, because he kept wailing to his dad that he was very hungry. He's about 6 yrs old, since he was taller and bigger than ds1. He cried and shouted a lot, then he was distracted in the playroom, which is good, but then he kept crashing all the toys in the playroom and throwing things and jumping on them. His parents kept calling his name and telling him to behave, but it was difficult. A cranky and hungry boy knows no limits. He brought some trucks out of the playroom and began zooming them all over the waiting room too. The nurses and assistants did not get angry or impatient with him. One of them did come out and talk to him and joked and so on.
His dad told him he can have all the popsicles he wanted, after the treatment.
When we were in the recovery room, I saw him being carried in, already sedated, by the anesthesiologist. When I went out into the waiting room, I saw both his parents, and his baby sister asleep on the couch! Oh my, the poor parents must have been tired out the whole day by him!
Both the dentist and anesthesiologist gave us the all clear later on, and ds2 refused the popsicle they gave to him! Ds1 happily took his, and licked on his 2nd! So we went home. At home, ds2 tried to walk on his own, but he had jelly legs! I was relieved that everything went well, so was lightening up already. Seeing him walk like that, we all had a good laugh. His whole body was quite wobbly. So we sat him down on the sofa and let him watch Blues Clues.
He was supposed to only drink water and clear juice, and if he could keep that down, then progress to other liquids, and soft solids. But he kept asking me for lots of food. It was so difficult to explain to him. I gave him water, then apple juice. He was really thirsty.
Then he asked for rice. I thought rice might be a little hard, so I gave him mashed up potatoes that I boiled in the chicken soup on Wed. He ate one bowl of it and wanted more! The ravenous boy! I distracted him for another 20min just to see how he'd take to the potatoes.
He reminded me of my C sections. Both times, right after they wheeled me back to the room, I felt so thirsty and hungry. But the nurses said I was to have no solids yet. I had water, and Milo, but still craved more food. I got Dh to open the packet of crackers we packed in the hospital bag and had them too. I didn't feel any nausea, just felt very hungry. The moment the nurses brought me my first bowl of pork porridge, I gobbled it all up. That was the best bowl of porridge I ever had! After that, I always ordered the Western meals on the menu. They had Muslim, Vegetarian, Normal Chinese, and Chinese confinement meals to choose from, besides Western, but the Western ones had more courses (eg dessert, soup, bread, besides the entree) so I felt that was the most filling. I still remember the best meal was the lamb chops, and Dh liked it so much, he ordered it too! Haha. He paid $7 for the meal, and said it was very worth it. They were so nice to bring in extra ones for him thereafter.
ds2 seemed to be just like me. So i did give him his bowl of rice, with chicken soup, and carrots. He downed the whole bowl. He also began singing along to the songs with Steve and Blues Clues (yes we still let him watch the old Steve). And then he stood up to dance too.
When ds1 irritated him, and he shouted "no! stop! no!", we knew he was back to normal.
We prayed together, a big thank you to God, for blessing and guiding us through this tense milestone in our parenthood journey.
{add on: this morning the dental assistant called to check on ds2 too.}

3rd April, 2006
Kia Motors has announced its all-new Carens compact MPV will make its world premiere at the forthcoming Salon International del Automovil de Madrid (Madrid Motor Show). The Carens (known as Rondo in USA) will be revealed to the world for the first time at the bi-annual Spanish motor show, held in the capital's Parque Ferial Juan Carlos 1 exhibition complex from 25th May.
Longer, wider and taller than the model it replaces, the all-new Kia Carens will be available with seven seats for the first time in Europe. The rear seats fold down flat into the boot floor when not required.
Underlining the importance of the European marketplace to Kia, the Carens launch will be the fifth new model -- following the Picanto, Rio, Sportage and Carnival -- to make its debut at a European motor show.

Sharman Networks is blocking Internet users in Australia from downloading the client software used to access the Kazaa peer-to-peer file sharing system. It has taken the decision in order to comply with an Australian court ruling, it said Tuesday.
Kazaa is used to share files, typically music files. Australian record companies won a court ruling against Sharman in September, ordering it to prevent Australians from using Kazaa to distribute copyright music without permission. Sharman later won a stay to that order, allowing it to keep the service open provided it offered a new version of its software by midnight on Monday that implements a keyword filtering system to block access to certain files. The company is appealing the ruling, and an appeal hearing has been set for February.
As the Dec. 5 deadline passed, the company chose not to implement the filtering system, instead blocking visitors from Australian ISPs (Internet service providers) from downloading its software altogether.
Visitors to the company's Web site at http://www.kazaa.com/ are now told that "To comply with orders of the Federal Court of Australia, pending an appeal in the February 2006 (sic), use of the Kazaa Media Desktop is not permitted by persons in Australia. If you are in Australia, you must not download or use the Kazaa Media Desktop."
The block on downloads by Australian users will remain in place until a decision has been made on the appeal, according to company spokeswoman Julie Fenwick.
The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) was unsatisfied with the move, describing it as an insult to the court.
"Sharman has thumbed its nose at the court. ... It is apparent that they never had any intention of applying filters, the bare minimum they needed to continue to operate the system," Stephen Peach, chief executive officer of ARIA and director of Music Industry Piracy Investigations (Pty), said in a statement.
The record companies will return to court in the coming days to seek enforcement of the original judgement.

The NBA raised its team salary cap Wednesday, and the teams immediately increased their trading intensity.
As the cap increased nearly $2 million, from $9,802,000 to $11,871,000 for the 1990-91 season, clubs began juggling their rosters.
Portland acquired guard Danny Ainge from Sacramento for guard Byron Irvin and two draft picks. Milwaukee sent first-round draft pick Terry Mills to Denver for Danny Schayes. The Bucks also traded Paul Pressey to San Antonio for Frank Brickowski and Philadelphia picked up Manute Bol from Golden State for a first-round draft choice in 1991.
As the salary cap was being increased, so was the minimum salary that teams are required to spend--from $7,935,000 to $9,610,000.
The amounts of the maximum and minimum team salaries are made each July 31 on the basis of formulas set forth in the contract between the league and the NBA Players Assn.

My cowboy action club, the Texas Tenhorns, bought a table at the Big Town Gun Show. I volunteered to help work the table at the show, trying to drum up a little interest in Cowboy Action Shooting.
When I first moved to the Dallas area in the '70s Big Town Mall was still a big deal, built in 1959 it was the first air conditioned inside mall in the southwest, in what was then a small town outside of Dallas. Today the mall is gone, the only thing left is a huge parking lot and the exhibition hall.
The cities have grown so that all the small towns that were well outside of Dallas are now surrounded by the city. All of the fields where folks used to hunt quail and dove are paved over. This has much to do with city folks not liking hunting, there was a time when hunters could dive twenty miles from the city's center and find a place to hunt, and it was inexpensive.
Today a free place to hunt means owning land far from the pavement. Hunting is fighting a battle we may not win as it becomes so much more expensive.
I wasn't there for hunting, though, we were just telling folks about the joys of CAS. We talked to a few folks, most everyone else was after one, or more, of those "scary guns". There were lots and lots of the SKS, the civilian versions of the AR15 and AK47, rows of cut down shotguns. Tons of handguns. Prices are insane. The SKS that sold for $99.00 before the scary gun ban during the Clinton Administration (that helped bring on the '94 election where Gingrich took over the House for the first time in forty years. Anyhow, those guns are up to over $400.00.
Primers were up to $45.00 per thousand. Ammo prices are insane. The revolvers that police departments traded off for those newfangled self stuffers have tripled, or more, in price. An old Colt Official Police was $450.00. Since I wasn't interested in another .38 Special I did not ask if it was a storekeepers gun or had been reblued, there was no holster wear on the finish.
I did get to look at a few genuine, engraved Colt Single Action Army revolvers as well as a Bisley Model. I got to actually handle a few of those fine old revolvers. The table was across from ours and I managed to watch it while the owner went to the john. So when he came back I got to handle a real Colt Bisley model, a second generation nickel plated, engraved Single Action Army, another engraved SAA, this one blued. Those last two revolvers were $8,000.00 and $7500.00. Don't forget I have a birthday coming up!
There was also a Colt 1911 model, the serial number said that this gun was a WW1 veteran. This wasn't exactly a pristine shooter, it had holster wear, worn checkering on the grips, dings and nicks. A gun with character.
Before I work another gun show for the club I must buy some boots with a walking heel. Those mule ear boots are good if I found myself on the hurricane deck of a half broke bronc, not so good for walking around on concrete. Especially wearing two Colt clones.
Since hardly anyone was even slowing down at our table I filled one of my vest pockets with the club's business cards and went around handing them to anyone carrying a single action or lever rifle.
I only bought a shotgun cleaning rod, even those are up in prices!
The plus side? There was only one table with assorted Nazi crap. That's a big plus. There was a VFW table, collecting money for the disabled vets and their families, and the families of those who came home in an aluminum box. Even with all the hate and discontent stirred up by the left the vets of this war are being treated a lot better than the vets of my war.
The Dallas TEA Party table was, thank the Lord, on the opposite side of the building from the Nazi crap table.
So, I'm home after another visit with my neurologist today, I'm way behind on my blog reading. Oh, the Doc doubled my dose of Neurontin. Linda Lou is wondering if this dose will make me comatose. Well, if it does, that will save money.
So, that was my weekend, how was yours?
Note: I don't yet have SASS or the Texas Tenhorns on my blogroll. If you care, Google them. Eventually I'll get around to putting them up, until them, use your favorite search engine.
