The Caring Corner :)

I just like books better because they don't damage my body

Do long periods of reading in dim light cause damage to eyes?  I used to get told this, but I still do it.

Have heard that lots of times, but I still don't quite believe it. I'm pretty sure it doesn't strain the eyes much more than regular reading, but it probably strains the brain more which has more OCR (optical character recognition) work to do.
I'm no doctor, so this is really just a feeling. To me claiming this seems similar to claiming it would damage the ears if you listen to music which isn't loud enough because you strain them too much.

Edit: But I'm pretty sure reading isn't really good for the eyes in general, can't be good to intensely stare at a thing close to you for hours, always repeating the same movements of the eyes.

But Zeus is not usually considered a trickster, and that doesn't really seem to be his kind of thing.

Trying to describe the Gods are we? Sounds like you've developed a slight case of blasphemy.

Or when, as a child, you get told to stop making faces or "your face will get stuck like that".

Well then someone needs to make the internet go away, or I am screwed.

If he doesn't like it he can let me know personally.  I am pretty sure if he did those with more violent reputations that I am fond of would like to play as well, or they would be entertained as I was turned into a lightning rod.

B) I didn't know that you were friends with Jigglypuff, could you get me his autograph?

I never really thought of Pokemon as gods.  Makes some sense, though.

This is the one that you need to start worshipping then.  http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Arceus_(Pok%C3%A9mon)

Um, no.  You can always give the original version of Eris a try.  http://www.theoi.com/Daimon/Eris.html  http://www.theoi.com/Daimon/Enyo.html

Can we move this over to your thread instead of trashing up this one again?

Have run it past Miku and she agrees (it's as much her thread as it is mine).

Why not all of them at the same time so this doesn't happen again?

^ Probably because the dentist gets more money this way, that's the only reason I can think of anyway.

Sounds like a reason to look for a new dentist.

I've had all of them removed, but as far as I know, if you can keep them it helps if you ever need artificial teeth (easier to fasten them).I wouldn't remove them if it's not necessary.

They never grew in me and I'm glad. Next step of evolution ftw!

Also glad that I never needed braces and always get compliments from my dentist. ^^

I'm sorry for you, I heard it's a real pain.

I heard it's a real pain.

You just load yourself up with painkillers, the worst bit for me was the swilling your mouth out with salty water bit, that's something I don't fancy having to do again.

 

[Granitehead]

I guess it depends on how good your dentist is and how much pain you can take - I didn't take any painkillers. It never hurt as much as for example the cramps I get sometimes in some muscles in my legs.

Some nutrient deficiency?

I needed stitches so painkillers were kind of a must for me.
