Ouch!  I remember getting mine out.  What a joy when I could eat solid food again.

Seriously. It takes away a lot of options.

Pudding and mashed potatoes.

Anything soft or mashed really. I don't mind the texture, it's just a hassle to mash everything.

That it is!

Painter man, painter man, who would be a painter man?...

I've never had my wisdom teeth removed.  I successfully cut all 4 of mine when I was 15-16 years old and have had them ever since.  I think it is just because I have a big mouth.  LOL

You're just really wise.

My dad's grew in just fine as well.

I have a tiny mouth.

I have chills (they're multiplying.....let's see who gets that reference), achy muscles and joints, and a fever.  I have flu like symptoms, but my fever is low enough that they wouldn't do anything if I went to the clinic.  If I am really gonna get sick, I wish it would just come on so I could get over it already.

Temp is currently 99.2.  Of course, that is high for me as I usually average in the mid 97s.

That's exactly it. How do I know? Because mine grew in too and I also have a big mouth. However you have a BIGGER mouth than me because only 3 of mine came in, the 4th one is MIA.

Several years ago, my dentist did an x-ray and was able to see them in the prints.  Also, when he was cleaning my teeth, he commented that it was more difficult to clean that far back since I had that extra set of 4 molars (aka wisdom teeth).  Besides, I was aware when I began to cut them.  I had some discomfort in my gum line but not real pain like most folks report.  The teeth came through and I have had them ever since.

The dentist that saw them tried to convince me to get them removed.  I told him that I would--once they started bothering me.  He tried to make a couple of excuses, but I just shut him down.

Mine said "Hey, 3 of them are coming in straight and there is enough room, let's leave them alone". I asked where the 4th one was and he said "Hmmmm... It isn't there". But as an adult they have issues cleaning them because they are so far back and so tight. And I have 4 brothers, none of us have had them removed.

I am the only one of three siblings that got to keep them!  My sister had to have 2 cut out.  She was missing the other two.  My brother sabidoo had to have several of his pulled.  He's always had issues with his teeth, though.  He brushes regulary but just has trouble with them. 

I, on the other hand, don't go to the dentist regularly.  I hate it and am terrified of them giving me shots in my gums so I just don't go.  I haven't had a cavity since I was a kid.

I still haven't had any issues with teeth - no cavities, no wisdom teeth issues (yet). Two of my wisdom teeth are sideways and two are pretty much vertical, so we'll see how that goes.

It makes you wonder why God gave us wisdom teeth. There must've been a good reason in Eden.

Also, I got an offer of admission to university today, with a massive scholarship to boot. Not bad.

Congratulations are in order for both of you!

Just be sure to keep your faith strong in college.  Unless you are going to a Christian based university, your faith will be attacked by professors and students alike.  Whatever school you go to will have some sort of college outreach.  In our area, the Southern Baptists typically will have a BCM (Baptist College Ministry) where you can meet with fellow believers, have activities, and even do foreign mission trips in the summer.  Think of it as college level youth group but with better snacks!  Get plugged in somewhere with fellow worshipers of Christ.

Our babies are growing up so fast!

Congrats to you, too, Xenon!

I'm already somewhat involved with the university ministry. The school (Bishop's University, if you were wondering) is something like 5 minutes away from where I work, and the events are technically open to anyone. Although I can't get as involved as I'd like to just yet, it's great being able to go to worship on Sunday nights.
