Thursday, November 12, 2026
So, several years ago, a part of my back upper left molar just broke off. (my teeth are crap) There was no pain, but of course I went to the dentist. He said there was no pain because the tooth was dead, and that's why a part chipped off. But the tooth should be removed. I said, I'll be in touch when I'm ready.
Over the ensuring years, more and more of that tooth broke off. Now, I have almost none of it remaining below the gum and nearly all of the middle of the tooth is gone. And it's not been an issue, until lately. So I made an appointment to get it pulled. And that appointment was today.
I had to dentist give me a prescription for a valium, just one, to calm me down before the removal, I know I'd need that. Mom asked me earlier in the week what I was gonna eat after it was pulled. I told her I was making pasta and sauce, that should go down easy. She told me I'd need more than just that, so she said she was gonna make me some soup. Then yesterday she called and said she's going to make some mac and cheese too. It'll be a variety and it'll slide down easy. Sure, I'm not gonna argue.
So I get up today, and I'm SO STRESSED. Tooth extractions are bad enough but I have no idea how he's gonna get this one out when there not even all that much there to get ahold of. But I had a big breakfast (since I wouldn't be able to eat lunch), showered, shaved, dressed and walked over.
When I got there he came out from the back room and said, "I know you're all worried and stressed-" I interrupted to say, "YEAH!" and he continued with, "Well I'm not feeling well, kinda dizzy, been that way since I woke up at 5. But I thought if I got up, had breakfast, walked around, it'd improve. And it hasn't. So I'm shutting down early today and I shouldn't be working in your mouth if I'm dizzy, so let's reschedule."
I was conflicted. I didn't want to have to go through with all this stress AGAIN later. But then again, I was relieved that I didn't have to deal with it today. And I did NOT want him digging around in my mouth if he's not fully well. So we rescheduled, to December.
I got another prescription for 1 valium (since I had taken the first one an hour before) and came home.
Mom brought in the food she promised, as well as a small container of potato salad she had made. And then we chatted for a bit until she left. And I spent the rest of the day relaxing, chilling, and coming down from all that stress. And then I had some mac and cheese for lunch.
And here's a pic of what that saint of a mother of mine brought:

SO this graph (I put on it's side so it can be big enough to see all of it) shows the percent of the vote each party received in Congress in the mid-term elections.
I've heard MAGAmorns out there on social media spouting things like, "Obama lost more seats in 14 and Clinton lost more seats in 94 than tRump did this year, so it's not bad" and blah blah, barf.
And yeah, they're not wrong. But seats lost are not what makes this election historic. The Democrats currently got 13 (on this chart, I've seen it approaching 14 as more votes are counted) percentage points MORE of the vote than did the Republicans nationwide. In other words, in this Chart, Dems got 56% of the votes cast, Republicans got 43%.
It's not on the chart, but the last time Republicans got 56% of the midterm vote was, I believe, 1926,
Last time Dems got this high a percent: 52 years ago
Last time Reps got this high a percnet: 100 years ago
So, yes, in fact this WAS a historic midterm election.

Superhero Anydays
Today, we have a panel from the very first graphic novel every published, Marvel's The Death Of Captain Marvel. The superhero is dying of cancer and a whole horde of heroes come by to see him and be there. This is drawn by the man who wrote and illustrated it: Jim Starlin.
-Top area: Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, Cyclops, Professor X, Gorgon, Triton, Angel, Kitty Pryde, Storm, Iron Fist, Power Man
-Between upper railings: Spider-Man, Human Torch, Colossus, Wolverine
-Between mid railings: Nightcrawler, Daredevil, The Thing, Franklin Richards, Invisible Woman, Nighthawk, Clea, Valkyrie
-Between lower railings: Hercules, Demon-Slayer, Tigra, The Hulk, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, and Namor the Sub-Mariner
-On bottom stairs: Scarlet Witch, Vision, Iron Man
-On the ground: Quicksilver, Gargoyle, Wasp, Yellowjacket, Hellcat, Black Widow, Captain America, Starfox.
So here we've got members of the Inhumans, The X-Men, The Fantastic Four, the Defenders, The Avengers and several independent heroes. Basically almost all the heroes in the Marvel pantheon in 1981 or so.

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 413)...
Badass Birthday
On this date, in 1929 in Philadelphia PA, Grace Kelly was born.
Grace Kelly was an absolutely beautiful actress. She won an Oscar, and was nominated for another. She won 3 Golden Globes. And she was nominated for a BAFTA twice. In the 1950s, she appeared in the films such as Dial M For Murder and Rear Window. She also appeared on TV and a few stage productions.
Then, in 1956, she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco and became a real-life princess. She had three children, including the current Prince Of Monaco Albert II.
Tragically, in 1982, she died in a car accident at the age of 52.
But when your born a natural beauty, have a career in Hollywood and then give all that up to become a European princess, you're certainly a badass.
