Filth flarn flarn filth!
I had to drive to Georgia back at the end of January due to a family emergency, and I got pulled over for speeding on my way back. So now I have to drive down to North Carolina to appear in court. This ****ing sucks!

Either the Universe is testing me, or I racked up a lot of bad karma in my previous life that I'm paying for now. My '93 Dodge died 6 weeks ago, my '05 Sonata developed tranny probs yesterday (I had a rent a car this morning), and I have to somehow keep my 82-year-old mother-in-law from having her power turned off, or being evicted (whichever comes first).
I welcome any and all cyberhugs.

I'll be getting IV sedation
"It's a Valium drip (aka: Twilight sleep) and it works on the brain like amnesia. You are in and out of slumber and can hear what the doctor and others are saying, but really don't care and feel no pain."
...
"However, you may not remember much about what went on because of two factors: firstly, in most people, IV sedation induces a state of deep relaxation and a feeling of not being bothered by what's going on. Secondly, the drugs used for IV sedation can produce either partial or full memory loss (amnesia) for the period of time when the drug first kicks in until it wears off. As a result, time will appear to pass very quickly and you will not recall much, or perhaps even nothing at all, of what happened. So it may, indeed, appear as if you were "asleep" during the procedure."
I'm still feeling creeped out by this. It is kind of like the tubes they stick in the nose of the Heroes so they can't use their powers. I can't believe I'm more worried about a needle than having my gums sliced and tooth cracked.

Not unusual. Thanks to weak teeth and a 20+ year ice chewing habit, I've gotten LOTS of dental work done over the years and the novocaine shots are consistently the only part that scares me. I'm ridiculously stoic during all the drilling and stuff (even once when the novocaine started wearing off), but am a huge baby when they come at me with the needle.
You'll be fine, Mad D - I was wide awake when I had mine out, novocaine only.
Thanks for the hugs - I think it brough me some good karma. When we bought the Sonata 2 years ago (not at a Hyundai dealer), we were told there was no warranty on it. AAMCO researched and discovered it IS still under warranty, so it's at the dealership to get all fixed up. Mom-in-law's rent is paid by the money I don't have to spend on the car, and we have another 3 weeks to get PG&E squared away.
I'm pooped!

School Warns Parents Dead Daughter Can't Go to Prom
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,510471,00.html
The parents of a British teen, who died suddenly two months ago, received a disturbing letter from the girl's high school saying she needs to improve her attendance or can't go to the prom, the Manchester Evening News reported.
The letter said Megan Gillan's attendance was 60.4 percent and the school requires its students to keep a 92 percent attendance record.
"I screamed when I first saw it," her mother Margaret Gillan told the newspaper. If they want her to attend that much I'll take Megan's remains. It's disgusting."
Gillan was found dead Jan. 19 in her bedroom at her parent's home. The letter was dated March 16.
"Megan would have loved going to the prom," her mother said. "She planned to go with a group of friends, she was really looking forward to it."
A school spokesman apologized and told the Manchester Evening News, "that letter should not have gone out," and blamed it on a "software error."
