How are you today?

Fuck, it is cold here ... 30°F, feels like 18°F .... When is spring coming????????????????????????????

So yesterday I went to the dentist because my jaw is hurting again since 3 weeks. He told me: a) my right temporomandibular joint shows signs of abrasion (is that the correct word?) and is inflamed. Great. I am now prescribed Ibuprofen 800 to kill the inflammation. Also I am supposed to chew on the right side to give the jaw a rest and also to wear my stupid brace all the time (during the night). Good thing there is no man in my life these days. Kissing would be hard with that brace ....

On another note ... if you want to laugh about Germany and the Germans read this http://nothingforungood.com/ It is hilarious. The guy put his essays into a book and I read that yesterday. He is an American who lived in Germany for a bit.

Quick Tipp - Germans use their bicycles to go places
When it comes to bicycles, Germans have a fundamentally different attitude than Americans. Germans use their bicycles to go places, whereas Americans go places to use their bicycles.

When we want to go for a bike ride, we have two options. We may either hop in the car and head to the gym, where the bicycles are lined up in front of an array of television sets, or we can mount the bicycle onto the car and drive to a remote location to enjoy a ride while comparing gear with fellow bicycle riders. We of course need to make sure we are dressed up in a colorful racing outfit, special bike shoes, and a super aerodynamic helmet.

Germans on the other hand walk out of the door, hop on their bike and ride it somewhere.

The point is, when you are walking in Germany and you notice part of the sidewalk is paved smooth, stay off, or else someone is going to scream at you “Radlweg!” This translates to “Please refrain from walking on the bicycle path.” They are especially angry because they aren’t on their bicycle to enjoy a ride. It’s a cold, drizzly day and your impedance is going to make them late to work.
