Sliced off 1000 words on my book. Decided not to go in that direction, would've made things too complicated and I would've wound up with a fantasy series instead of a singular horror novel.

Also going in for possibly two root canals today. Ah yeah. Should be the last of them, then I can work on the ones that are actually just cavities (i.e. cost less).

No
I am neutral to the stuff, don't hate or love it, but that seems even to me absolutely revolting.

It really sounds bad to me, because I don't even like thousand island dressing.

Also is Facebook fucking with me or are there actual neo Nazis in Charlottesville? And did Trump seriously fail to condemn them?

Sometimes these days the news on Facebook is harder to discern from the obvious bullshit. Purely from how crazy things seem to get.

Yeah, it's happening. I know a guy who lives near there.

Fuck me. I thought it was a joke article or parody when I saw it. Actual fucking Nazi flags. That's nuts. Hope anyone who knows people there have no issues with their friends. Will see what the Apple news feed is saying about this.

Good news, according to xrays, only one Root Canal was needed, the other tooth just needs a crown. I'm guessing because the filling on that tooth from long ago stopped anything internally, so the damage is all external. So that saves me 700 bucks.

Nice! Money saved. Still shocked it's 700 bucks for you. I paid $40 I think for mine.

It's so disgusting. Imagine being a World War 2 veteran fighting to eradicate Fascism from the world and 70+ years later you see young people marching the streets proudly evoking Hitler...so fucked.

40 bucks for a root canal? Wow.

Wait, is that with insurance? Because that I don't have, and seems to have disappeared around here after Obamacare (I looked years ago and there was a bunch of Dental Insurances in the area, now nothing, I use Obamacare as a timeline landmark since it was in between).

I applied for Care Credit, which is basically a credit card specifically for dental care (at least mine is) so I'll be paying it off with no interest over 24 months (if I fail to pay it off in 24 months, it starts collecting interest).

No, I am sure it was on the NHS. May have been a bit more:

£56. So I guess more like 60 or 70 bucks. But still, 1/10 your cost it seems. No complaints on my part.

That will happen a lot, especially if you read back over what you wrote before continuing where you left off. That's the main thing that tripped me up on my first-rough draft. If not for constantly re-writing parts I all of a sudden didn't like, I would have probably finished the first draft in about 2 or 3 months. Backtracking took time and I started completely over like three or four times before settling on the basics.

That's the main reason I want to edit the whole series before I release anything. I don't want to be trapped into keeping an idea I don't like being carried through the whole series.
