I've been paying more attention to them though, and it's going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had braces about 30 or so years ago - complete with headgear, too. I sympathize with your efforts to brush your teeth. Oh, and let's not forget the fun of the quarterly tightening of the braces... I feel for you... (oh, and then there was the endless jokes about television and radio reception or the train track jokes...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Phil Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Speaking of teeth... I need a root canal. One tooth has been hurting a bit in the mornings every few days, and my dentist did an X-ray. Turns out that tooth has some issues with its dental pulp. I was surprised. I was expecting it to be a result of me grinding my teeth. So I got a root canal scheduled. Then, last friday, the tooth started hurting again. But it got worse, and hasn’t stopped since. Now the pain is mostly gone but the swelling is up too. That root canal cannot happen soon enough... 7 hours ago, Kernel Kraken said: Braces.

I had braces as well. The only issues I had were with the rubber bands. Those things hurt. Edited February 26, 2019 by Bill Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kinda.. tired. Edited February 26, 2019 by qzgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infection can spread along the nerve canal and affect other teeth as well as invade into the bone/marrow. Been there, done that, major ouch. You should inform the dentist's office before the appointment of infection suspicions and the swelling, as they should put you on an antibiotic before having the procedure - a prophylactic measure.

Geonovast Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Yesterday I sneezed so hard, and in such a way, that it felt like someone punched me really hard in the throat. It hurts to swallow, my voice sounded fine last night, but was a little weird this morning. Talking doesn't hurt, oddly enough. I just sneezed again. Ow.

Let it out, let it run. Let the people in the next town know that you, Geonovast, have sneezed. That's what I do, but I've been known to scare small children and animals when I sneeze.

A warehouse I used to work in almost went kablooey when a forklift driver hit a natural gas line. And didn't even realize it!

Lisias Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) It rained a lot around here today. To tell you the true, since yesterday night. And some ferocious winds. For 7 hours. This morning, the city was in chaos. Fallen trees (damn it! it's 15 to 20 years for a replacement to grow up!) everywhere. The only place I didn't saw a fallen tree in on the subway - but sooner or later, I will see one there by how things are going here. =/https://globoplay.globo.com/v/7413061/ (cut the sound - it's all on PT_BR anyway) edit: The counting by now is about 411 fallen green warriors.

Did both. Had a bit of a scare because, after taking my weirdest selfie ever, I could see something awfully resembling an outright hole. I imagine the rest of the audience is very puzzled by the mention of 0.01% solution of benzyldimethyl[3-(myristoylamino)propyl]ammonium chloride monohydrate. It’s one of those Soviet meds unheard of in Western literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delay Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Catch-22. I'd really want to draw, but knowing my history with it I cannot bring up the courage, much less the motivation, to even consider actually drawing something. I'm too afraid of failing yet again to even try it another time. This has been pulling me down for around two months now, much longer than any other period. Yes, it occurs somewhat regularly. Though normally I can stop thinking about it after perhaps not even a week and everything's fine again. Right now I'm sort of able to forget about it by doing something else, but as soon as that is done I'm going back to thinking about drawing, whether I want to or not. I don't want to use the word "depression" as I don't have it myself and don't want to deny what depression really is like. Still, for lack of better words: It really feels like depression.

DarkOwl57 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 So, early in the year, during basketball, I was required to do film over the varsity basketball game. At halftime, I came up with a fun idea; "What if I turn boring film into a fun basketball game with commentary?" I managed to get the Athletic Director to do commentary with me, and we went on a three-game "EduCast" roll before the season ended. Now, with track coming up (First meet is tomorrow, aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh) I've decided to start up an Instagram account as well as our own separate email for the 'Cast. Only problem? Gmail won't let me change the stupid profile picture of the email. RAGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
