HELP! My Cousin is Trying to Kill Me!!!!!! AHHHHH!


I am barely able to type this... if this is the end, it is my dream death though. Death by Chili Pepper!

Cousins Kelly & Kyle invited me out to meet them for dinner. But since i was already running behind from the bad weather (snow=puke) and I am trying to save money, I declined. They were eating at their new fav Thai place Ruam Mit. Kelly later texts me and said, "My meal is so hot, do you want me to bring you the rest???" Now Kelly and I eat hot\spicy food all the time. We live for it, it's borderline obsession. We can throw back the spicy with the best of them. So for Kelly to tell me that her meal was too hot to eat, I thought WHATEVS!
So a few minutes later a doggy bag of left over Thai food arrived at my door. I dumped into a bowl and went to work. The spice was evident from the first bite, not too bad... and just as I was about to say, Kelly is a BABY! Holy Hotness the heat kicked my butt! FIRE FIRE FIRE!! Burning, my mouth was burning! HELP ME!!! What was in there to make it so spicy? What is bringing me to a slow, painful and happy death? These could not be normal Thai peppers? or could they? FIRE! I am downing mouth fulls of rice as i type this! But guess what? I love it! LOVE THE BURN!!! AHHHH!
Kelly called me later to laugh at me... I said thanks for the torture! She said, this is what they give to prisoners as torture in a Norwegian Prison! I said they will beg for Ludafisk and instead they will get the Torturous Thai Chicken!!! AH HA HA HA!

Dentist Phobia

I need help. See that wasn't so hard to say. I really do though. It seems that my aversion to going to the dentist has done me in. I have a bad tooth and it hurts so bad! But the thing is, I don't like going to the dentist anymore! I was fearless as a kid and teenager. My pain threshold is high. But 8 years ago everything changed. My wisdom teeth needed to come out they were growing in sideways and they were impacted! Geesh! So to save money i went to the same dentist i went to my whole life. No problem. Except this was a problem. I was fully awake during the ordeal. Just some Novocaine to mask the pain. But no nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and I love that stuff! Legal high people! Anyway, the surgery for my wisdom teeth was so traumatic, we're talking teeth breaking and major deep extraction... that i vowed never to go back! On top of all that, I got PAINFUL dry sockets in all 4 sockets and my face was black and blue\puffy for a month! PLUS! i had no pain meds to make it better! I was in college at the time and my only solace was the CUTE boy in my Spanish class would talk to me and tell me to feel better! And I was so embarrassed cause i looked horrible and he would say to me, You don't look bad at all, I can hardly tell! He was sweet and good liar! :) After the wisdom teeth incident i got my teeth cleaned and that was horrible too. And i haven't been back since. Don't yell at me yet, I didn't have dental insurance for about 5 of those years! But last year i went to a new clinic, just for a cleaning. And they took x-rays and said, Hey no cavities! Although i do have a broken\bad molar that needs to be removed. But then they dropped this huge bomb on me. They said they wouldn't clean my teeth because first they wanted to do some weirdo procedure where they peal back my gums and scrape all the gunk and gook off of the teeth. NO WAY! So i left and now it is a year later. My rotted\broken tooth is in pain and I'm actually kinda nervous to go to the dentist. I'm thinking sedation dentistry? They make you all loopy and then fix your teeth. Perfect! But how did it come to this? Im so tough! I go to the doctor and have brain cysts scraped off from the top of my scull all the time... and that doesn't bother me and I'm totally awake for that! (sorry i hope you weren't eating when you read that)... But now I am dentist phobic. And I don't like it one bit! But i fear that if i go any longer with out taking care of this bad tooth it might do more damage in the end. Conundrum.
