I'm home now, and can smoke in my own house Ask me anything!

[Booberdawg]

Drink my own brand of coffee - but mostly smoke cigs at my PC.

Vacations are nice - but I need a rest. Zzzzz

[flamingyouth]

1. So, how was your trip??

Didja meet anyone interesting?

Have any good drinks!?

:hi:

[Booberdawg]

7. Yes, I met YOU!!

While you were in LA too! Probably met a total of 50 DUers all told. Not to mention the site seeing. I'm pretty beat.

Yes - drinks at the Hermosa Beach party the week after the one you were at in Hollywood. Nothing fancy - just rum and cokes.

I'll put up the pics soon and let you know ..

:hi:

[flamingyouth]

31. I have great pics of our Hollywood gathering

Just need to scan them and upload them. I've been so busy with work and writing/editing that I haven't had a chance yet. Some of them are very cute, and all are amusing. I even had the foresight (no pun intended...) to take off my glasses during most of the pictures.

Oh, you'll just have to wait and see them for yourself! I've got some cute ones of you, you little vixen you! :hi:

What a fun night we had. Gads, I love DU.

[Booberdawg]

33. Oh no! I have a feeling I wasn't aware of them being taken!!

We should coordinate and put them in the same thread then. Let me know when you're ready. I still have to upload some off the camera and then to the webserver too. I haven't even unpacked yet. Or opened my mail. Maybe this weekend we can get together on it. I have the Emillereid's pics too from Hollywood and Hermosa Beach.

:hi:

2. Any remedies for a sore mouth?

It hurts when I eat because I got hit in my chin earlier and that made my mouth hurt and bleed, it stopped bleeding and it hurts. I dont feel like going in to why this happpened but any remedies?

[kayleybeth]

3. Ice and/or Anbesol

both if possible. Hope it feels better soon!

[JohnKleeb]

4. Whats Anbesol?

and its internal not external, that is the damage is inside my mouth not outside.

[Occulus]

5. Anbesol

is a mild anesthetic. It's usually used to ease the pain of a toothache/cavity/cut in the mouth. If your mouth is bleeding, well... if it's not bad, but you can still feel it, try Anbesol. It does wear off after a time, but it also does work.

[JohnKleeb]

8. Ok thanks

It isnt bleeding. In fact the pain is gradually going away though.

[kayleybeth]

6. Anbesol

is an over-the-counter toothache remedy. It contains Lidocaine or some kind of derivative with numbing properties. Safe for use on gums too. You can buy it at any drugstore or probably even grocery store.

[JohnKleeb]

9. grocery store lol you say, just got a job working there

but thanks I will see how things go.

[Booberdawg]

10. Well - watch where you put your mouth!

[JohnKleeb]

11. I shouldnt have opened it to begin with and I cant avoid my dad's hand

:(
I'll say what happened, and please dont overreact, ok so I am waking up for school in the mornin and I feel like crap, my ass aches, my tummy aches, my head aches, and I am like Dad I dont think I am well enough for school today, he says you do this all the time and I am like No, and he continues to lie about me and shit, and I yell JERK, and my dad has an awful temper, hes a good guy and all but I like him have an explosive temper although I like to believe mine is better, so he hears this and he smacks me right on my chin. I was bleeding and my braces kinda got fucked up. Dont give me your pity people, I dont need it, I just cant believe he resorted to such a cheap shot. On edit: I was smacked with his bare hand in the mouth, I dont see where I implied I got hit with a belt if I did then oopsies.

[kayleybeth]

12. You don't have to take that, John

I have an "awful temper" too but I never strike my kids. Your dad might need some anger management counseling. Honestly. It's not okay for him to belt you in the mouth.

[JohnKleeb]

14. I didnt get belted

I got hit with his barehand. Yeah he needs it, I think. He's a good guy you know at heart but damn I do not like being around him when hes mad.

[kayleybeth]

17. Belt

is a euphemism for "hit" or "punch" (at least where I come from). Bare handed or no, it's still not okay. I'm sorry that happened to you. Put some ice on it and buy some Anbesol if it doesn't feel better tomorrow.

[JohnKleeb]

20. Its ok

Thanks though to both you and boober for understanding. I just cant believe he has to be such a jerk, its all good though.

[kayleybeth]

22. Feel better soon

I'm sorry that happened to you.

[JohnKleeb]

24. Its ok

I just had an english muffin with yum grava jelly on it and I am having soup now, and it was kinda hard to eat not really hard it wasnt easy.

[Booberdawg]

13. Sorry

And don't apologize for getting belted.

Try some ice

[JohnKleeb]

15. I didnt get belted in the mouth, he smacked me in the mouth with his hand

Now the good news is he apologized and is happy as a fly on shit with me now that I got that job.

[Booberdawg]

18. *sigh*

Well, it was just a term that came to my mind and I didn't consider whether it was open handed or closed handed. The apology from him after the abusive episode is part of a pattern as well.

The point was that you felt the need to apologize for being the target of his bad behavior. I just want to point out that you did that and it's not your fault that HE behaived badly.

[JohnKleeb]

19. I know its not my fault

I know as a stubbornist that its not my fault, I continued to tell him you know you didnt have to lie about me. Its ok though. It just hurts is all, I am gonna go eat something very quickly and give a report lol on how it felt eating, last I checked it wasnt easy.

[prolesunited]

16. Welcome home!

Glad to see you arrived safe and sound. :hi:

I'll be in San Diego in January. Any recommendations for me?

[Booberdawg]

23. For site seeing? Yes, a few.

I took the Old Town Trolley Tour - you see quite a lot with that and can get off anywhere during the tour (32 miles) and get back on the Trolley at different times of the day so you can make a whole day of it seeing different parts of Old Town.

I also went to the Zoo with my folks and we did the picture Safari. We drove around in a safari truck for 3 hours up close with the animals and I fed giraffes and hippos. Literally put food in their mouths and touched them. Giraffes are very docile - and have sticky slimy tounges. Bleach! Yuk! Made every hair stand up all over my body!

Also went to San Luis Capistrano on Tuesday - had a fancy lunch with another DUer. Beautiful place and town - saw the Mission there.

Then there were the DU parties on both the Friday's I was there. Those were both a lot of fun!

My uncle in Philadelphia has invited me to visit him - my wheels are turning - maybe after a rest ...... more DU parties?? :D

[prolesunited]

35. Sounds like some excellent recommendations!

Thanks. I would definitely like to set up a DU party, too. Everyone who I've met has been so cool and fun.

I definitely think you should go to Philly, lots more great DUers out that way. Say, do you have any relatives who live near Chicago? :-)

[Booberdawg]

37. No, but if you ever come through Omaha I'll see what we can do

for setting up another party. :D They are fun! I know of at least 3 other DUers in this area.

Also have a sis moving to Minneapolis next year - bro-in-law got a job with Lockheed Martin, so there is another possibility. :D

[GOPisEvil]

36. The Philly pholks are lots of phun!

I recommend going out there, wholeheartedly! Heck, maybe I'll even make a return trip. :D

[Booberdawg]

38. Hey that would be cool!

These DU parties can be addicting! :D

21. How many stolen bases did Jerry Rice have in his NBA career?

[JohnKleeb]

25. *laughs but hushes up*

[Booberdawg]

26. Beats the hell outta me! And who the hell is Jerry Rice??

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

29. lol boober

stolen bases is a baseball term, Jerry Rice plays football, and the NBA is basketball. So the answer is none.

[Booberdawg]

30. Oh, very funny

:D

[JohnKleeb]

32. Yep and I got it completely thats why I laughed then shut up

Maybe you could tell me
How many field goals did Frank Robinson kick in the NBA? :D:
How many homeruns has Tim Duncan hit in the NFL? :D

[Booberdawg]

34. Okay smart ass - you can't pull it on me twice.

[SOteric]

27. How are the aminals of the boober home?

:hi:

[Booberdawg]

28. Hi SO!!! My Boobie jumped all over me as I walked in the door!!!!

I was homesick for him - and heard he was depressed after I left and wouldn't move around or play for a couple days. *sniff* First time I've left him in 11 years.

And he has gained weight - looks like my mother fed him table food while I was gone. *taps foot* We need to start some walks.

I lost more weight while I was gone. Only a few days here and there that I wasn't running doing something. My britches are falling off!

:hi:

PS - cats are mad at me and ignoring me - I was expecting that. ;-)
