Y'know what pisses me off? 4 y/o vent threads. New vent thread!

I swear to god, this is a true story.

I once had a toothache so bad that I had to cancel a movie date with Chichi.  I couldn't sit still and nothing was helping, so I ended up drinking 13 beers, half a bottle of vodka, smoked a bunch of weed and took a healthy dose of shrooms.  It hurt so bad that the shroom trip wore off in three hours, and I called an emergency dentist at 7am on a Sunday.  Cost me another $300 to get the goddamn thing pulled.

Don't fuck with your teeth.

Though now I think an army of junkless, lower jaw nerve-lacking mutants would be pretty invincible.

Don't ever let anyone ever tell you different... toothaches are WAY worse than childbirth! I'd much rather have another kid than experience the excruciating pain of an open nerve toothache again. *shudders*

kidney stones on monday was hell...i guess i'm recovered but who the fuck knows, really...

*hugs*

[luna]

Kidney stones? Boo

Oh yeah I'd take more babies over a toothache as long as I can give them away after

The pain seems to come and go. I have an appointment tomorrow. I'm both excited (no more pain) and nervous, cuz dentist... I do have a tube of oragel so I have that going for me...

I'm also going to get to work a bit early to find out if I'm getting moved sooner or later. (I want sooner, but with how busy some of the areas I work in are, I might get moved later.) Mostly cuz one of the people I work with is annoying as fuck, and sorta my boss. (He doesn't have any real power over me, but he tells me what to do/I ask him what to do. Unless I'm grinding bar for NASCAR.) 

[Aaron]

So I saw the dentist. I don't need a root canal... She said I might be clenching my jaw, or grinding my teeth when I sleep (or a combo of both.) Since I sleep alone, I don't know if I grind my teeth, but I have noticed clenching my jaw at times. So I've been really trying to not do that. I might get a mouth guard for when I sleep and see if that helps a lot. Dentist lady said she clenches so hard that she has lock jaw now.

I also found out that I'm gonna be in the NASCAR area on the centerless grinder for a long time. There is only like 8 maybe a few more, people that can run the machine there. And only 2 of us on nights. (And while I won't say I'm better than the other guy, I am however liked a lot more by the boss of the area.) But it isn't all bad, I don't mind it, and it is nice to know what I'm going to be doing for a while...

I don't recommend taking it every night, but if you take an aspirin before you go to sleep, I think you'd stop grinding your teeth.

I also don't want to be one of those dudes who recommends some natural remedy to insomnia, but you could try taking melatonin.  That helps put you into a cozy slumber.

[Aaron]

I might start doing the aspirin some times.

I have a prescription for gabapentin, which is a sleep aid. And while it works well, and I sleep like the dead, I have really extra vivid dreams, and sometimes it makes me feel... Like almost hungover. Like my mind is super fuzzy and it takes me way longer to wake up then normal. Even solving my cubes doesn't seem to wake me up like normal...

But I might get me some melatonin. Thanks for the advice.

So I cracked the screen on my new phone. Wtf samsung why do you make such delicate fucking screens I dropped it a few inches onto our granite counter. There goes  $300 because apparently they have to replace the whole screen not just the glass 

[Aaron]

God damn, teach you to have such nice counters!

[luna]

Ugh I know, this would have never happened at our old place

[TPD]

my samsung is fucked too. i'm do for an upgrade.

in other news i'm lame.

[Goose]

Never owned a Samsung.
Never cracked a screen.
Coincidence?

[luna]

I thought iphones were the ones with the super fragile screens

[Goose]

To be honest, pretty much all phones use the same material for their screens, or at least something similar.  You're really not going to find much difference in terms of fragility between them.  Best thing you can do is get a soft case for your phone.  An extra layer of silicone will absorb light impact shocks and not let them damage the phone.
