Teeth and iPods oh my

lillian13Well, my drafting chair wasn't over at the Bunker, but I got lucky on Freecycle and found another one. Even if it's not quite tall enough I can add a cushion...
Went to the dentist this morning, and he says I need a crown. This will make...3? I lost count after 2 and a couple of root canals. I take care of my teeth pretty obsessively, but these are all from fillings that were done when I was about 8 or 9. (My town's water supply had crazy high levels of fluoride until then, and after they lowered it to "regular" levels I got several cavities.) And he wants to make it gold. *winces* It's a back tooth that gets a lot of pressure. Anyone out there have any opinions?
At some point on the way back to work, my water mug tipped over and I didn't notice for several minutes. It took me several more minutes to realize the one thing that got soaked was my iPod. *sigh* I took it to a repair place, since the "put it in a bag of rice" idea seemed kind of iffy. Plus the humidity here is pretty high. The tech says he'll look at it tomorrow. Man, I hope it's OK. I really don't want to replace it. Especially so close to Comic Con.
I watched the last episode of Game of Thrones tonight. I knew how it was going to end and I still got actual chills. Man.

I hope your tech can fix it, too!
