Well, the tornadoes missed me by a mile or so. The worst damage is about 6 miles away.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kalahnikid: Glad it missed you Me too; it got a little tense that night. The county has pitched in hard to help; they had to ask people to stop volunteering and bringing stuff for now until they could catch up distributing. Local churches and businesses opened up for shelters; the local vets and dog boarding places all offered free services, etc. It has been refreshing to see everyone coming together. Last I heard was 12 dead; mostly in the Indian Lake area. |

I broke a tooth below the gum line a few weeks ago during a bad dream and procrastinated about going to the dentist until I lost 15lbs because I just stopped eating and then got an abscess.
 Follow me for more insights on how to seriously fuck yourself up with stupid little things that can be easily fixed. Got it yanked today, think it came out in a 3 or 4 pieces. |

One in the back? I've been putting off going to the dentist. I think I have a cracked tooth. Pain when I drink/eat hot or cold. And I love my dentist, but I just don't have time/energy for it. Still. Will you get a bridge or anything? |

I’m getting something called a flipper (idk what that is but it’s temporary) and already had some graft material put on my jaw bone in preparation for an implant. The implant takes months from the time you have an extraction until the time they put the actual tooth thing in. |

The fact that everyone, every single person in the military, , cops, firefighters, EMS, S&R, hospital staff , all that shit, they all know that drinking is literally the worst thing you can do if you are have some traumatic shit happening yet 95% or more stilll hit the bars or the bottle after bad shit happens. And they do it proudly, they do it as a group, they do it with a wink and nod from CO’s and supervisors. It fucking blows my mind and I’ll go to the grave begging everyone I know that’s going through stuff to stay away from booze and drugs, and I’ll lose to their immediate coworkers and bosses who still encourage it and excuse it even though they all know that they are just digging each others mental or physical graves.  /rant over |

We feel your physical and financial pain. Yeah even with good insurance it’s still a huge expense, but from my understanding in the longer term it’s the best, longest lasting and easiest to maintain. I’ll keep telling myself that too no matter what.

They told her three months for the implant, and three months for the crown after that. Your metabolism can play a part in how fast your graft heals. Men heal faster than women. So basically 6 months for her |

That was 9/28/21. They removed portion of my lower right lung, I also have emphysema. My pulmonary function now is 30%.
This is mostly the result of being exposed to industrial toxins and smoking. 60yrs ago restrictions were very limited. |

Today, I watched my Malinois spot this finch type bird flying full speed the opposite direction he was moving, he turned around, ran it down, jumped a couple feet in the air, snatched it and murdered it. It was amazing and kinda fucked up all at the same time.
