I am still gagging on the grease from the dreaded appetizer plate of "'tato skins & bacon & cheese" from the new 99 Restaurant in Topsham, ME. If you desire to ruin the taste of anything you eat for the rest of the week, this plate is for you. I feel my pulse rate dropping as I type. The struggle to continue pumping blood is enormous. They should hire a paramedic as full time staff. I am done whining now.

Ouch!! I now have a mouth full of painful metal. I'm 24 years old and wear braces. Don't tell me that's not cool. Anyway, December saw the install of my upper braces. Monday this week saw the install of my bottom braces. My friends, the bottom ones hurt more than tearing a frostbitten tongue from a steel swing set post in the cold winter. I'd rather have my hands carved off with a plastic spoon. I could go on, but I now must turn to my apple sauce for nourishment.
