elanya at 12:02pm on 03/07/2002I have wisdom teeth still. My clever clever dentist thought that it would be wiser to pull some of my adult teeth while I was still young and my mouth not completely set to make room for wisdom teeth when they did come in. Right now, I hve a kind of dull ache in the back of my mouth on the lower right. They seem to grow out in short spurts. Both the bottom ones are actually already poking through the gums a little, and I think this one os trying to get a little further. Anyway, it is survivable, but annoying.
In other news... I just saw a really sickening banner add in hotmail, for one of those singles hotlines or chatrooms or something. It's got a pretty (vapid) smiling girl on it, and the tag line "I'm so glad I'm single!" and underneath that, two little unchecked boxes: 'Fun, Romance, Dating' and 'Thousands join every day'. The the little boxes get checked, and the tag line changes to '...Now I'm so popular!"
Urg, right. 'cause popularity based on how many internet geeks/freaks want to get into your pants is oh so desireable. Bleh!

It's all pretty nasty when you really look at it. *sigh*
Incidentally, I found a really good way to get rid of 99% of all ads without new software in Windows... I'll have to dig out the details and the web page later but it involves activating a file called "hosts" on your system and putting the domain names of the most common adservers in it. Essentially any addy in that list gets looked for on your system as a local resource instead of going over the 'net for it. Since it's not on your system, that ad window just gets filled with a "cannot be found" instead.
