I am going to get a saddle like that! You could buy 190 of my insanely nice but high priced saddles for that. I think the whole thing is absurd. The saying "You have to look good to be good" should most definitely be thrown off the planet.

Sorry, I get a little carried away with horse stuff, it is kind of my life besides algebra and -I finished a Seperate Peace, I have to read Animal Farm now. Who has opinions on that book? I still think the saying "You have to look good to be good" should most definitely be thrown off the planet. It is not fair at all. Not that I have any excuses, just a lot of work and money for all this junk.

Is it just the Texans joining and posting recently? There seem to be a lot of them for just starters.

Who's from Texas?
and do Texans bug you that much? I mean I know they can be annoying sometimes, but usually once you get to know them they're ok.

Wow, you just can't get to sleep here. There is so much you miss here at the Teacup Cafe when you are sleeping...

Well Elven Dragonrider, El E it is then

Much easier.
We have a calendar? I am trying to get the calendar on my own forum to work (I made a forum for my club and untill I can convince my friend that managing the forum is also his job, I have to figure out how all those things work myself) but for some reason, you can't input general events, only things tied to posts. Weird things are happening on the Internet every day...

Just as a sidenote: speaking three different languages every day doesn't really help you improve any of them...

Meriadoc Brandybuck · 04-06-2007, 11:29 PM

Whee! Got my braces off Wednesday! Now I have supermodel teeth. *flashes blinding smile* This stupid retainer gives me a lisp though.

Lief Erikson · 04-06-2007, 11:36 PM

Excellent! It feels like forever while one has braces on, but having them off is marvelous.

Time for a party!

*Turns on Star Wars music, ultra loud, and starts handing out M&Ms.*

I looked it up on Wikipedia, sounds interesting, but I would still say that a transporter/teleporter/portal/whatever is more useful, because then you can go to several different places whereas the elevator only transports you from point a to b.
Doesn't mean you have to threaten with nerve pinches

Besides, what is the logic behind unleashing the nerve pinch?

Gawk! *is blinded by the sight of the braceless smile*

Congratulations! Now you can finally eat sticky stuff like caramel again. That calls for a party.

Thanks for the M&M's Lief

Have you encountered corn on the cob?

I thought not.

Corn on the cob is an American* food specialty. The flowering part of an annual grain plant is boiled, grilled, or roasted, and the seeds are eaten off the stem. Here's a nice picture and explanation http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-b...i/es/co/corn_1

IME not being able to eat corn on the cob in summer is a greater trial to American people with braces than losing caramels.

by which I mean "native to the Americas", not "solely the province of the United States".

Cool.

I am not a big fan of caramel though, but that is what my sister and friend missed most when they had braces.

Thank you, everyone!

Actually, I had everything I wasn't supposed to eat with braces except corn on the cob and caramel apples. I only broke a bracket once in three years.
I'd say braces are worth it. *hands out sunglasses*
