Arthur Murray Law and Order Theme Party.

Dancing, People December 10th, 2005

Nate and the Girl

Last night’s party was one of the last ones for this year. That’s Pimp Daddy Nate Dog with the Girl.

The Boy and Girl have been taking dance lessons for long enough that Polly now says “Quick, Quick, Slow” when she hears music.

Avocado Plants Don’t Like Softened Water.

Flora December 2nd, 2005

This is what happens when you water Avocado trees with NaCl softened water. Our water softener wasn’t brining properly for months and once it was fixed we had forgotten about our plants.

We continued to water the plants in the house with our tap water until the Avocado started looking like this and losing leaves. At that point we realized there was a problem. We had to leach the soil and now we water all of our plants with straight well water. They are all in different stages of recovery…

The Case of the Sexy Legs.

Morphology December 2nd, 2005

This is a case from this week. It was a fairly straight forward non-vital premolar. The patient’s dentist had started the root canal treatment but was not able to find the canals. Using BUC2 and BUC1 ultrasonic tips from Spartan-Obtura I was able to get into the canals. Working lengths were confirmed electronically so that canal that looks like it’s filled a little short probably isn’t (there’s a hint of sealer shooting laterally). If you’re still not convinced, check here.

Our receptionist suggested that I blog this because she liked the final look of the case.

This is my cousin Lucy. She lives with the Boy’s brother and sister-in-law, Kelly, in Richmond Hill. Quiere Taco Bell. She was rescued like me.
