I feel much better and recommend it. It’s a pain in the ass now what with covid but you should still practice good oral hygiene
i wouldnt go to a dentist or doctors office now unless it was an emergency
I don’t have the ability to avoid it so if I’m doing it for other people fuck it I’m doing it for myself. Besides I seriously felt much better with clean teeth again. I was also in a court house today (not for myself fortunately) besides we I need to talk about something other than politics or masks or I will blow my fucking brains out.Quote:

Well I don’t need to get to into it but some days some really interesting stuff happens, some days some truly funny things happen, some days some really sad stuff happens. I have made more than I am now and we lost our covid hazard pay but the pay is OK. I try not to think of money related to everything. I keep side hustles going to supplement the income. I will say this is not the field to be in if you want to make piles of money plus you are putting yourself at risk, not just covid but I have had knifes and shit pulled on me in the past, the clients thought I was one of their delusional figures coming after them, these things happen. So it’s hard to answer you question.
Ah fuck I do recommend getting your teeth cleaned. The poor dental people wear gowns, masks, shields, gloves, shit I wasn’t sure there was a human in there. They try talking to you but you can’t hear them through all the protective gear. If you can catch covid from them wrapped up like that, we are completely fucked.
that's why I taught ESL in Brooklyn/Queens for what most would call a sucker's pay, it was so rewardingQuote:

I've had a cleaning that was more painful than a wisdom tooth extract. Right when they get to the lower fronts you're just hoping for a steady hand and that you don't wind up with the Mick foley Cactus Jake smile :toothout:.
You can't get a dentist appointment for love or money in many places across the UK right now. People are having to pull their own teeth out at home and certainly can't just book in for a polish.
It's crazy anybody would want to risk that right now. I can see a root canal, but just a routine cleaning..... during this huge Spike in Covid cases.... up close and personal at a dentist or doctors office.... No way Jose.
Amen brother.Quote:

Different experiences in different places maybe (like it always has been)?

I think it is hugely exasperated by the pandemic. Yes it has always been difficult down here. Cornwall where my daughter and grandkids live is terrible. There are a lack of Dentists prepared to work for the NHS and i am pretty sure most were closed between March and June so even if your is a private practice you were lucky to be able to be seen back then.
Yes, there was a period when they were closed. An emergency would have been problematic then!
I'm in Somerset and am an NHS patient, so at least my appointments are cheap! He is a pretty good dentist too, I have to say.
I can remember my Grandad telling us he could tie our wobbly teeth to a door handle and slam the door to get them out if we didn't want to go to the dentist ;D Always made sure i went regularly from then but a year or so back dropped off my Dentists list after missing one appointment and have not yet been able to find a new one since.Quote:

My area they were closed for everything but emergencies. When they finally opened the restrictions were so tough it was like one person in the waiting room at a time it took months to get an appointment. Seems to be normalizing a little better now, seems like it’s only a month but if you want a day appointment I think it’s a little easier. I got this really weird procedure I might try. But I’ll need to hunt down an oral surgeon. I’m trying everything I can not to get a tooth pulled but it’s looking rather hopeless. The procedure sounds really weird. Weird usually means very expensive so I’m hoping it can wait till next year when my insurance resets. Besides that they do add an additional 10 bucks to your bill for all the ppe gear they are going through. Seriously they are decked out like surgeons. Luckily even during the lockdown they were treating emergencies I didn’t have to go but tooth pain can be a real bitch
Went through same with crushing up a cracked wisdom to get it out. Luckily it was lower as I've heard the upper are a real pain in the ass with dry socket etc etc.Quote:

The scaling I have no idea why they go so hard with it ;D. My dentist went in like she was high pressure washing and carving her initials into stone instead of a 'lite and easy cleaning'.
Biggest regret was having a lower molar yanked two years ago. Schedule was major tight, money real tight and thing was on and off abscess. Got tired of the anti biotics and rather than spend a couple of grand on work and crown..I said feck it, yank the thing :p. Real dumb. For a minute there I thought my damn jaw was going to break ffs.
Yup, gotta say, that sounds pretty shittyQuote:

Mrs Frisby and her rats are there.
I didn’t take it as an attack or insult. I thought it was funny. I obviously made a mistake. I see the difference between busting balls and insults. Busting balls can be funny. And even though we aren’t buddies n shitz it’s much better if people here don’t need to walk on eggshells around each other. But yes I will often find myself explain “this is ball busting not an attack” so I’m not in with the “beanz, dia, brock and Tito crew” but it’s not like I wish anyone ill. Ya I miss miles because I always found him funny and we would always bust each other’s balls but I guess miles needed a break. I mean when I came back damn I was surprised at the nasty shit people said to me. Dia was on the warpath, bff beaner said I’m not fit for my job (my boss and HR feel differently so does everyone I work with) but whatever it’s not like I hold it against everyone you just forget that. Telling a veteran he fought in a war he didn’t start and questioned wtf he was accomplishing everyday on veteran day when he had spent hours on the talking to the family members of friends who never made it home really hit me. I’m talking to their kids now who years ago I could say “your dad saved my life he is a hero.” Today they have more questions, they want me to tell them about every patrol or protection detail I did with their father. They love the funny parts like how we would find stupid shit to argue about to keep our minds off of IEDs as we drive through hotspots. I told one kid I still owed his father 20 bucks from a poker game and I asked if I could send him a check because that 20 dollars I couldn’t pay back as the next he was killed, killed trying to help a local. Mind you this is probably the tenth time I payed him that twenty bucks but put the kid but each twenty In a frame and he says he has it with a picture of me and his father decked out in full gear smoking a cigarette together.Quote:

"Beanz you are worse than this Taliban leader who used to drill holes into live children's heads"
That an insult then or just you busting balls?
Let’s see bff beaner how many times did we discuss that already? It’s been numerous times. If you took that seriously I really don’t know what to sayQuote:

I have largely avoided it now for quite a while, and have gotten along really well with many people here that years ago I was fighting regularly with. Beanz used to be the person that I fought with the most but for about one year now we haven't had a single fight or even a slight issue.
Titofan and I over the years had a couple periods of time where it got pretty nasty but for about one year now we are getting along great and are a great example as well.
There are other people examples as well but no need to list them here. I can't say exactly how we succeeded, but we succeeded.
If I had to guess, I think as long as people have an outstanding issue or lingering issues with others, the fire will still smolder and inevitably flare up/flame out at times.

toward you. That you seem unable to help yourself derailing threads by goading others and generally shit stirring is again very telling.
I may not mince my words but there are lines, lines that I accept , but you and a couple of others refuse to accept are there.
You are a tawdry bollock of a man for much of the time, so do not be surprised when you gaslighting is held up for what it is. Something quite incompatible for a person supposedly working with people struggling with their mental health.
I bought a set of dental tools. Nice German stainless steel and only a few quid. I like my value for money. I would also recommend the Remington Quick Cut hair clipper. Fantastic ergonomic design, I can cut my hair perfectly in two minutes. Never paying some fucker to do it anymore.
I just wanted to say what a nice peaceful forum this is. Lovely stuff.
Who are you?
;D
That is all.
I guess you forgot I pmd you directly on the subject like a frickin year and a half ago because you continue to bring it up and I told you directly it was not serious. I don’t know wtf else you want. And now you bring up the Ha! Thing saying I’m laughing. Did you forget the plethora of Ha! That ended every statement? You are reaching on this one. Asked and answered so many times. I saw shit even worse than drill man in my day. I wasn’t playing cops and robbers with nice people. These fuckers would hurt children cause they wanted to pick us off as we went out to give them assistance. Most of the time I was protecting these little towns that looked like they were 2,000 years old. Probably because they were. I’m talking purely evil shit. Imagine having to protect a school for young girls because these fuckers are outraged girls are learning shit. I got enough thank you to last quite a while. So imagine dude you take such offense to me being a dick and comparing you to drill man which I said probably two years ago and in both public and private told you it wasn’t a serious comparison, but now try imagine actually seeing and dealing with the fuckers who do that shit. Yes I’ll accept your thank you on behalf of all those poor people who just wanted to live life unimpeded by evil like that.Quote:
