Just go to the bloody dentist and get your mouth sorted.

 

[bhavv]

No. That's not been an issue for over a decade. Never swollen or infected.

 

[Lohrenswald]

because if it doesn't hurt, it couldn't possibly be a problem

no siree

not
at
all

 

[bhavv]

Swelling and infection are pretty clearly visible with or without pain.

 

[Lohrenswald]

you know what is pretty visible though

Spoiler :

a broken tooth for christ's sake

 

[bhavv]

Aha yes, but I don't think they'll pull it for free and there's literally not a single dentist around that's taking on new patients.

 

[Lohrenswald]

It's true that no dentists will treat you if you don't make an appointment

also, if it's not free, it's not worth doing yep yep

it all checks out

Reminds me of an aphorism: ‘lo barato sale caro’. What's cheap costs more than what is expensive.

I thought I'd ranted in the Raves thread by mistake, but it seems not. I think I was dreaming about posting at CFC...

Could you clarify? Because this "no dentist is taking on new patients" doesn't make sense to me at all.

I've encountered that before when picking a doctor for our health insurance. The first few doctors on the list of approved doctors said they weren't taking any new patients at the moment. It basically means they are currently at the maximum number of patients the doctor can handle and still be able to service them all appropriately. So until one of their patients starts seeing a different doctor, they can't take on any additional patients.

 

[bhavv]

All NHS dentists in my area say 'not accepting new patients'.

Exists in German too:

Das Billige ist immer das Teuerste.

(The cheap is always the most expensive)

Rant: Crushing loneliness, feel ignored by friends. Don't blame them, my frustration only makes me act like a giant jerk. Games I play to relax only make me frustrated and hate-myself. My days consist of two hours of school work and the rest just killing time. I've got nothing to look forward to.

This is miserable. Why can't things be easy and relaxing. Why is everything so difficult and exhausting.

 

[Snerk]

I would be willing so sign a petition to make all things easy and relaxing!

Until then, here's what you do:

-Get a couple of cats
-Discover that felines are superior company to humans
-Become that weird guy who lives with all those cats
-????
-happiness

 

[gay_Aleks]

you're omitting the part where you die alone surrounded by cats that never loved you and will consume your body

 

[Snerk]

You mean a glorious death where your corpse can actually be put to something useful.

 

[gay_Aleks]

I'm quite sure there's several farmers that would respectfully disagree with you.

 

[Hygro]

I missed work because I got sick on Friday, stayed up all Sat night playing Civ 5, and stayed up all last night thinking it was Sunday night playing Civ 2. I work this gig Tuesdays and Thursdays

Seems my cancelled date from last weekend is now "scheduled" for in 1.5 weeks...which would normally be a rave, if it wasn't like 10 days away, and if there wasn't at least one really nice and big party this weekend :/.
