tkdguy Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I went for a blood test this afternoon. I spent an hour waiting for it because it seems the staff forgot all about me until I made some noise. Then I tried to call for a pickup, since I don't drive. No signal; I called at least a dozen times, and the call ended before the first ring. The buses weren't coming either. Eventually I got in contact with someone, but that took another half-hour, at least. That was my entire afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 The bad news: I'm having a wisdom tooth extracted because the filling fell out, and it's either this or root canal and crown. The good news: They found the source of my pain immediately. I haven't been to the dentist in years and she said my teeth are in good shape (with the obvious exception) and they did a cleaning. That part was so good I'm not ashamed to smile anymore. The bad news: My gums, on the other hand, are a disaster, so there will be follow-up visits.

Cancer Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 My wisdom teeth were all extracted shortly before I turned 19 because they were all coming in sideways. My only experience with fully-unconscious general anesthesia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted June 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Never rains but it pours. Household has had car trouble, a desktop computer die (Not mine but it sucks), and early this morning I had it confirmed the lower bathroom has water pooling from I know not where into the floor. All in the same week. Pariah and Logan D. Hurricanes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 The water pooling in the basement bathroom is from a flaw in the Washing machine. Ah, who needs clean clothes anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Minor crank One of the TV channels runs several programmes but then stops and starts repeating them. So you get so far into them but then you have to wait until it runs through them again. But others it runs through the entire run of a programme series.

Pariah Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Mine, sadly. I somehow made it through my twenties in Utah with my wisdom teeth intact. That almost never happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaaaaaaand this morning, ten days before my group dental coverage ends due to retirement, I learned I've got a cracked molar that needs a crown, and they can't get me in until mid-July. Ah well. It looks like continued coverage via COBRA is only about $50 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
