Waffle Fries

 I can't find waffle fries anywhere. Other fries, no problem. You're thinking, stop whining. Third World countries can't conceive of waffle fries. But have you ever tasted them? You would understand. I never used ketchup or any other condiment. Shameless, I shoved them down, only pausing to gulp my Mountain Dew.

If this pandemic has killed off these delights, I will scream bloody murder.

Meanwhile, hot dogs survive. Why? I have not eaten a full blown hot dog in years. On occasion I have chowed down on those little baby dogs. I don't bother with mustard. You just swallow the little ones, no excessive chewing. There is a rumor Chipolata does waffle fries.One just opened near me. Time for a field trip.

Christmas

 I don't know what to expect this Christmas. Should I stay home and avoid family and possible infection? After months of isolation, that would be tough. I sent out all my presents weeks ago. Thanksgiving was a beautiful day and I stayed outside walking. I got a couple of phone calls which I appreciated. 

I had a tooth extracted two days ago. Had a nice talk with the oral surgeon while waiting for the Novocane to take effect. When he finished, he said he enjoyed talking to me. That realy felt good.

I envy young people who still have their parents and siblings. I have photos and memories.

I can always watch Netflicks on the big day. I know I'm not alone in my isolation.That doesn't make it easier.

Extraction

 I'm supposed to get a molar extracted in ten days. There's a cavity under my crown. No idea how it got there. I brush every day with Crest Detoxify. I floss, jab ib the pic, wash with anti-cavity liquid. I swish pre-brush stuff that's supposed to loosen plaque. How coulld this happen?

People tell me you don't need your molars. I beg to differ. Why would they be there unless they helped chew? I am afraid I'll sneeze or cough or gag during the procedure. Fifteen years ago I had one extracted using just Novocaine. I got through it.

At some point I'll need dentures. Soak them at night. Feel really old. I want to chew like normal people.
