TOPIC: My sister got married during her lunch break
Posted  Friday, July 16, 2004 at 7:03 PM
Post 1 of 43
to a guy that was her professor in college...

Now everybody in my family is married but me and I'm sad because when I go home the only person that will stay up late and talk about stuff with me is my mother.. which is cool.. but not the same as my sisters

So is it really weird to get married during your lunch break?

No.
But getting married during your lunch break to your former college professor..... Hello Maury Povich! (j/k)




Stay single weeny. It's better for your health.

You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless. That's when you have to hope even harder, and stick your fingers in your ears and go "la la laaah!"

I think that's pretty cool, actually...but don't feel bad about not getting married, you're so young!
That's so NA.

My dad got all of his wisdom teeth pulled during his lunch break when I was younger and he went back to work. Wacky things happen during lunch breaks.

Not to start a one up thing, but I got my wisdom teeth pulled at 8 in the morning then made a bicycle race start at 11 and raced 110 miles... around mile 80 on a climb my dissolvable stitches broke when I was eating a powerbar and blood gushed from my mouth like a crazed vampire. The perfect ending would be winning the race, but I had to drop out becuase I was inhaling and swallowing to much blood and started to puke...

Man, you guys obviously had a different wisdom teeth procedure performed than the one I had. I had my wisdom teeth out in 1995. I hear that they have significantly improved the procedure since that time. Like when my sister had hers out in about 2000, she was out on the town that very night. As for me...man, I was just fucking OUT. It was an out-and-out surgery for me. I don't even remember the rest of that day. My mom had to drive me home from the doctor's office, and when I got home, I immediately passed out and slept for about 12 hours. Even the next day, I was so swollen and in so much pain that I was confined to the couch, watching TV. I couldn't have gone back to work the day of, let alone participated in a bike race. Hell, I couldn't even walk straight.

I had mine pulled in '88... it was in the dentists office, with a local anesthetic. Needless to say he was against the race idea, but I really wasn't that uncomfortable. Wasn't a walk in the park, but I don't remember starting the race and thinking "what the hell was I doing?" THe novocaine was still in effect when I started, I remember having a tough time drinking, and the days after the thing that hurt the worst was my tongue, as I had been chewing on it for 80 miles...

When my younger brother had his pulled it was like yours JC, it was outpatient at a hospital and he was out cold. Soemthing must've happened to the procedure between '88 and '92.

The dentist told me years ago that I have one wisdom tooth and that I was going to have room for it. It has just started poking its head out from my gum. I named him Bitey.

I got my wisdom teeth out during the summer of 2002. It wasn't a pleasant experience since I got dry sockets and tried to drown the pain with Wal-Mart painkillers. Then the doctor dude gave me some weird goo to stick in my...um...sockets...that tasted like hot tamales and numbed the pain.

It was fun...not.

i'm never getting married. no man could ever capture my heart.

here, according to tf, all the reasons i will never settle down:

1. i'm passive-aggressive
2. i have this insatiable craving for male attention
3. i much prefer the anatomy of females to that of males (how you doin, miss9?)
4. i will only allow a certain drummer from a certain band to father my children
5. i'm too "gangsta" to commit to a lillywhite brother like himself.


and on that note, i think i'm single. hi boys.

My brother was married and he and his wife decided not to ever have kids, so he had a vasectomy. At age 25. They got divorced a few months later.

Now she's remarried. To her college (Austin Peay) professor. And she's pregnant.

I got my wisdom teeth pulled during winter break of 2002. It was terrible. They had to dig pretty deep to get one that was lodged in there sideways, leaving a huge hole in my gum. The whole right side of my face was throbbing with pain for about 2 weeks, and the Vicodin did nothing but fuck with my mind, so I stopped taking it after about the 3rd day. Worst Christmas ever.

As far as lunch breaks go, my best one ever was when I extended my 1/2 hour break to about 2 hours; I ate lunch at Cici's (I love it, I don't care what they say...) and went to Borders to buy a CD, read books, and get a free massage.

thats awful. he should have made her have the procedure if she was the one who didnt have kids. they can be reversed, though, right?

I thought I was the only fortunate one that won't get wisdom teeth. I'm sure I'll get something else though that will come and bite me in the ass.

Yeah, it is reversible-I see all kinds of billboards for it on the way to Nashville. Sorry to hear about that Carl-that really sucks. I didn't know you had a brother.
You know, now that it is behind me I am glad I had my wisdom teeth out because it was fun. It was funny when I started to wake up, I got great pain killers, everyone brought me flowers, ice cream, soup and felt bad for me. I got out of working and got to watch Sex and the City with my mom all week. Then I went to see the features at Belmont by the end of the week. Wouldn't do it again, though!

I got my wisdom teeth out last year sometime (don't reacall when)...I was doped up pretty good. My mom was apparantly laughing hysterically at my incoherent rambling until I passed out. I can vividly remember being in the Wal-Mart parking lot writhing in pain while they decided to take an hour to get my pain killers. Bastards.
That's so NA.

a number of years ago, i got my wisdom teeth out. it really sucked for me--i had, at that point, a fairly obvious problem with abusing various drugs, so i didn't get the real painkillers. i got aspirin. that's it.

When my older sister had her wisdom teeth removed, it was quite an ordeal so I was a bit apprehensive. However, my procedure wasn't a problem at all. I sat on the couch that night and watched television. I was fine the next day so I came to Nashville for my freshman orientation.

In the interest of full disclosure, though, I had already had one of my wisdom teeth removed when I broke my jaw a couple of years earlier.

I think that dentists and oral surgeons have some kind of deal going on. I refused to have my wisdom teeth taken out, mainly b/c they weren't bothering me too much, but my dentist went on and on about it. "You need to get those things taken care of." "I can recommend you a great oral surgeon", and many other similar suggestions. I think that dentists get a free round o' golf from the oral surgeon or something else, if they give them new clients. It's a conspiracy. I guess that's a big reason why I didn't get any of my wisdom teeth removed and I guess that's why I got a cavity on one of them and had to have a filling. My dentist said, "Well, I would remove it, but it's a working tooth now." And while he was giving me 5+shots in my mouth he said, "Wow, I'm half-way down your throat. When I'm dead and gone your next dentist will say, How the hell did that guy do it?" My dentist is insane.

I've heard that because you're not under full anesthesia when you're wisdom teeth are being removed, you respond to things the surgeon tells you while you're under (i.e. open wider, etc.) Is this true? I don't know why that bothers me.

On the other hand, apparantly I don't have as much enamel on my back teeth as I should, and my dentist asked me, "Ashley, do you know what 'bulimia' is?" That was irksome.

i had my wisdom teeth out a year ago. i remember getting the gas, a slight poke in one arm for anestesia (i flinched; doc said "don't move"), an even smaller poke in the other arm (another flinch; doc said "don't move"), and then i was in my bed with a mouthful of gauze. kind of funny, thinking back. chicken noodle soup never tasted so damn good.

but... to return to the subject.... getting married on your lunch break seems... a little odd.
