Too bad we can't make it to Quebec City to watch the game, huh?

Scott was glad to be able to go OUT for a meal for the first time since his oral surgery. Still choosing foods carefully, but fettuccine alfredo worked (was smart enough to skip the salad/pizza). Even better, the garlic bread was also possible. Whew!
Scott just had the happy surprise of going to order some DVDs from Amazon.com and finding that he still had a gift card balance from when he ordered some books in March! Nice extra "discount" there!
Scott just paid $35 to the government of Ontario to prove he was born. *rolls eyes* Received the letter today giving a deadline of Dec. 14th to submit it to US Immigration. I should probably go ahead and prepare my request for an extension.
Ontario guarantees it within 15 business days, but only if it's being sent within Canada. They don't offer a guarantee if it's going internationally. The 15 business days would be Dec. 10th (and it isn't guaranteed to get here in that time).

Oops...re-checked the letter. The deadline's Dec. 17th. Still cutting it close, but more likely to be on time.

And I checked the online status inquiry and found that they completed processing yesterday (despite how late in the afternoon I submitted) and it shows that the certificate has been couriered. So I can't imagine it taking anything like a month to get here, so the worrying is off!

Awwww! And, you know I sympathize. The hardest part for me was finding something that (a) didn't taste nasty, and (b) wasn't sweet. After my periodontal surgery a few years ago, I breakfasted on avocado halves drizzled with creamy italian dressing for almost two weeks!

I'm doing pretty well today, as long as I don't try to do anything crazy, like--oh, I don't know--open my mouth? Choir is definitely out of the question for tonight!
This flowchart for where to eat fast food is great, especially the first question: "Are you in Canada?" Yes sends you to Tim Hortons, No sends you to the rest of the chart.

An interesting ministry going on in one of my former parishes. How easy would it have been to draw a hard line when people used the hall without permission and never think of them again?

"If we have fancy signs intended to tell us what the money is being spent on, though, then those steps shouldn't be necessary. If the signs don't give the information, then aren't they just partisan promotional spending every bit as "evil" as the sponsorship program?"

Impressed at kitties' attentiveness while I recover. Wish I saw same courtesy when they & I want to sleep in same spot on bed at night!
Scott is feeling a little worse for the wear right now, but much better than he did about an hour after getting home...still not up to much talking or eating, but at least I don't want to curl up and die. (I know that Sr. Heather moved up the first dose of one of the meds so that I'd get some relief...so hopefully the worst is behind me now.)
"I thought the Conservatives were the party of transparency and openness after the Liberals' sponsorship program? If they're going to the expense of putting up signs telling why the money was spent, shouldn't Canadians be able to assume that the signs give a valid reason for signs? We shouldn't have to resort to digging for press releases and documentation? If those steps are necessary, then the stimulus signs are a waste of money."

Scott why is it that when we can't have something, we want it even more? Wishing I could have breakfast...and anxious about the extractions. But I think this is my last FB post until afterwards. I know I've been going on about the extractions lately.
I'll have to look into the AutoHotKey script to automatically take a page currently open in Chrome and open the same page in Firefox.

Tomorrow: 2 teeth to be extracted. The worst part: not knowing how I'll feel afterward...That feeling will become the worst part, I'm sure.
Drugs have been promised. Hope they're good ones! And yes, hope this goes well.

Good luck! Rinse lightly with salt water tomorrow night, no spitting, no aspirin, no smoking, and don't drink through a straw! (Sorry, it's my spiel at work.)
- PENGUIN: MAJOR CAPS LOCK
I was going to suggest that I use you as my "Phone-A-Friend" (like on Millionaire), but then I realized that if I start telling people to call the Penguin, they're going to blame the anesthetic! ;-) ("No, not the animal, the one with the stripey socks!")
