Why the fuck do you need a specialist to do a root canal. The fuck?

this is common - extractions and root canals etc. are surgery and will be done by a DDM? not a DDS? or something like that. As stated above, you go - they say its 2 big of a hole/gap/chip/crack to "bond" (aka typical filling) and to be sure that there is no infection or chance of infection of the crown that is needed they want you to get a root canal, then come back and get the temp crown, then permanent.

I chipped by 2nd (was 3rd from, till wisdom removal) from back tooth, haven't gone in to even have them look at it, because I do not want a crown, I do not want a root canal - I just want them to bond the fucking thing and once it needs to be extracted to extract it... and no its not do damn deep to bond, it has NO increased hot/cold sensitivity etc. - I know what a deep chip is from when my one damn wisdom tooth that was not straight came in and impacted and cracked itself open - fun.

Everyone I know personally that has gotten a root canal for the crown it has gotten infected, and not just a normal infection - but a DEEP one that you do not notice for a while and it gets bad (wife included in this fuckery exp) - while if you just got a crown popped in with no root canal - if it DOES get infected it is not as deep and it is detected earlier.

This shit rustles me so bad... Dentists are the fucking WORST doctors for literally up-selling you bullshit.

I've had to get 3 root canals in the past 4 months or so (I was terrible at taking care of my teeth during college and hadn't gone to a dentist in a decade so when I finally wised up to taking care of them it was already a losing battle) and all of them were done by the one dentist I went to see. The first one I'd gotten from them about two years ago I had just gone in to check it out and see what needed to be done since it had been giving me excruciating headaches for a year and he had that thing cleaned out, filled and crowned in less than two hours. I guess I never considered it was a surgery or a speciality procedure.

Some dentists probably also happen to be oral surgeons or whatever and can thus do both/everything. I know the one place I went down in Florida when I had to get a cracked tooth pulled they did everything and anything you needed right there.

Buddy of mine chipped his tooth while we were on vacation in Peru. He walked into a dentist in Cusco, they took him as a walk in that day and charged 80$ US cash on the barrel-head. Looks as good as new, meaning you can't tell with naked eye. Fuck the US shit.

Fuckers refilling low soap dispensers with water to make them last longer are rustling me hard lately. I got squirted enough times by the bathroom dispenser to learn to be very slow with that thing if it's below half. Now some fucker went ahead and did it with the dish foam in the break room. Except with this one, we have two bottles of dish detergent, one is liquid, one is the foam, so when the foam ran out they just took some of the liquid and put it in the foam dispenser. What the fuck.

Currently I'm annoyed that people can still be watching TWD and not know that it's a shitty show with a few compelling elements per season.

how I have watched the last 4-5 seasons of that show: at x3 or x4 speed with subtitles. You get thru like 3 episodes and hour and don't miss much. If something happens (rarely) and I miss it, I just watch that bit again. That way I can blast thru an entire season in a few hours

Old co worker has 2 teeth that would be full crowns completely remade with filling / bonding in the Philippines while in the service - he had them for 20+ years with no problem until he back back stateside and had some other work done and the doc would not do anything without "fixing" those teeth with proper crowns - there was no need to replace them in reality.

I have a dentist here in FL, he pretty much said my tooth needed a crown, but since it didn't hurt, he would just do large fillings in it. Been fine for 2 years so far, the tooth is basically fillings at this point.

isn't 5 mph within a margin of error?

Technically there is no margin of error or "5 free". My brother in law was a cop and he was trained to give people 2 mph to account for the speedometer being off (IOW, 2.5+ over is fair game). If it's off further than that, you need to get your shit recalibrated. That being said, if a cop is writing for 5 over he's being an asshole. Even my B-I-L, who wrote more tickets than anyone else at his department, would admit that.

Last time I got a ticket, I noticed the fine schedule started at 5 over. That was some kind of special deal louisiana does to crack down on speeding where if you just pay the DA without protesting and stay clean for 90 days, it doesn't go on your record.

I have terrible teeth. Comes from having low blood sugar at 2am or whatever in deep sleep time and getting up and drinking/eating something sweet and going back to bed and not brushing my teeth till the next morning. I'd had some "odd" dentist thru the years. My first dentist went to the state pen for counterfeiting. He's now the state dentist at Angola state pen. Rough life for a former heisman trophy winner lol.

Used to be in TX (not sure if you still can) you could drivers education for a speeding ticket once every 2 years or something and have it taken off your record. I always got the comedy one and would sit and sleep thru it for 4 hours and be done with it. I've gotten my fair share of tickets and never had one stick for various reasons. One was thrown out becuae the judge said the speed limit there was too low, cop didn't show up at another which used to be a good way to get out of them but I think they changed it. You could call the police department and ask if soandso was on duty that day or would they be coming in for a sit down talk and if they said "nope it's his day off" you know to contest it. The closest I ever got to getting one fixed was I got one and I mentioned it to my neighbor who got a ticket in the same spot that day, my dad got on there as well on the same day. He said he had it all handled and took down the info on the ticket. Turns out the officer giving out the tickets, his wife worked for my neighbor and apparently people like to keep their job. Mine and dad's disappeared thru some paperwork snafu.

Mistakenly told girlfriend that range day with the guys fell through today. "So what are your plans?" Why does any gap in activities have to be filled with others? I feel like "Whiskey and coke and video games until I fall asleep on the couch?" Isn't the answer she's hunting for.

So I found out Ive possibly driven a thousand miles miles in my truck with no air filter. Was washing the engine and checking fluid levels today when I looked over at the filter and noticed it was not connected. Its possible I knocked it off but I dont think I did, and the last time I popped the hood was back in October when I replaced the battery.

Fucking K&N. No idea why the hell the guy I bought the truck from put the thing on there.
