The O.C. Age Differences
Not sure if anyone tunes into the new Fox hit, The O.C., but the following is an interesting look at how their ages stack up. See if you can determine a pattern.

Ok, on the OC in real life, here are the actor's ages:

Sandy(48) Kirsten(36) parents of Seth(23) and adoptive of Ryan(25)

Ryan(25) is going out with Marissa(17) who is the daughter of Jimmy(40) and Julie(31)

Now, we have the other two--Summer(22) and Luke(23)

For the age thing to work out, Kirsten would have had Seth when she was 20 and Julie would have gotten pregnant in high school.

Laundry Fiasco
Ok, so there are apparently some things that did happen last night. This next entry comes from one of my friends who seems to have had a bit of a domestic issue:

so last night i'm doing laundry and put my stuff in the dryer for an hour and go back to my apartment. An hour later i go down to get my laundry and discover that my wet clothes have been removed from the dryer and are on the table, still wet, with 3 quarters by them (what it cost for my 60 minutes). Well there was only 2 minutes left on the dryer so I removed the man's clothes and put mine in there, unfortunately his had successfully dried all the way. Now I did notice then that the other 2 dryers are not working so I gave the man the benefit of the doubt (he did return my 75 cent) and thought maybe, just maybe, he had some sort of extreme emergency that he needed to remove my clothes and dry his immediately and would right them come running in since they were done, apologize profusely and be on his way. However, I put in my 3 quarters and sat down there reading for the hour my clothes dried, hoping to come in contact with the scoundrel. Alas, after another whole hour, ruining my emergency theory rendering me full of rage since it was 11pm before my clothes were done. However, I am happy to report that the since he wanted the dryer so bad I also included with his pile of clothes the lint that they created since he might want that too. Also, his godsmack t-shirt somehow fell on the floor and his pile of dried laundry may or may not have landed on a few of my overused tissues. I considered actually spending 75 more cents and putting his clothes in the washer again or simply saving my money and fetching a bucket of water to place them in. I also considered scattering his clothes about the laundry room floor, also thought of stealing socks so he didn't have a complete pair, considered putting his clothes in the courtyard, considered stuffing clothes behind the dryer where he couldn't get them, considered relieving myself on clothes. Taking into account all the things I could have done, I think I acted pretty mature!

I think we should all applaud her behavior

School of Dentistry
Ok, I had to check in with this. I just got back from the dentist and I am not exactly happy with my new permanent crown. It looks ok, but it just doesn't feel right and getting it was no picnic either. First of all, I had to save up money to afford said tooth--saving up money to buy a tooth b/c my original one was cracked. That is a sad state. After working full time for 4 years and I still don't have enough disposable income to pay for a tooth. Which, by the way was way expensive. That is uncool.

Anyway, so I got the temporary one a couple of weeks ago and that was ok since I had novocaine, although it was weird to hear your tooth being drilled away. So, I went back today to get the permanent one put in. Considered getting a gold one, but settled on a porcelain tooth instead. So, I was told this would be an easy visit. No novocaine, pretty quick procedure. So, I wasn't too worried. I think that was my first mistake. Once they popped, and yes, I mean popped the temp out and I was sitting there with a big gaping hole, he started to get the other tooth ready. Well, it didn't fit, so he had to file it down and try again. Still didn't fit. This pattern repeated about 3 times. All the while, my mouth has cotton shoved in it and the dental assistant has been using the suction with the cold air almost right on my exposed nerve. To say that it was unpleasant is an understatement. Finally they get that sucker in there and I am finished. So, about 3 hours and 4 aleve later, I still don't think this thing fits properly. So, I called the dentist back and have another appointment on Friday. Just what I want to do...go back and visit the person who screwed this thing up in the first place.

Anyone out there have any dental horror stories?
