Random Raves 37 - Already CFC is returning to harmony

That isn't fanaticism as I'm not affecting anyone else!

Until the health system has to deal with your emergency care when things go bad because you can't be bothered taking the simple preventative steps to avoid it.

 

[Takhisis]

You already have a job, Bhavv, so you should take care of your dental hygiene as well

Not for other people, just for yourself.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Would you want to see pictures of someone who has bad teeth by British standards?

 

[Kyriakos]

someone who has bad teeth by British standards?

There is no such thing, m8

 

[bhavv]

People are still alive with much worse teeth than mine, a single dead tooth is of zero concern to me. 12 years with it and no infection so I dont really see how its a medical emergency.

 

[sophie]

Really logical argument you have there.

 

[Borachio]

Teeth are funny.

There was a woman I heard of (British, naturally) who'd been supergluing her teeth back into her mouth after they'd fallen out through peridontitis.

She'd done this comparatively successfully for over ten years. Until the glue had begun to rot her jaw.

Another woman managed to remove all her own teeth with a pair of pliers, in a matter of an hour or two. Under the influence of methamphetamine.

Be warned, people. Don't do drugs. OK? With or without teeth being involved.

Saw a long-tailed weasel cross a path right in front of me on campus. Cool.

Rave: I'm finally getting a gaming desktop to replace my laptop as my primary gaming instrument.

Rant: Steam Winter Sale is coming up and I have a backlog of games I haven't bought because they wouldn't run on my laptop.....

Rave: Just had a bunch of delicious Chinese food with some Chinese friends from Japanese class. Yum!

It's odd, but writing really helps coping with stuff. Especially if it's something you like.

Alright so I realise that I'm not doing what Arakhor probably pretty wiseley advised
and I've made a bunch of prettty downy posts today and whined in fiftychat BUT I think I am going to end it on a high note he HA:

see, I didn't get drunk just sitting in my room or whatever but I actually met up with MY TWO BEST FRIENDS (and another aquiatence lol) and one of them just came home after being three months in Cairo (oddly it was his brother who stayed home who had lost his trousers) but he had been in Virginia before that so I hadn't seen him since summer.

So it was a pretty good night until I logged into cfc and went all miserable
Apologises I guess and especially to caketastydelish who I think I kinda made feel uncomfortable

k I'mma go to sleep now

 

[gay_Aleks]

So...the moral of the story is: don't go to OT or...don't go into OT sober?

 

[cardgame]

Google's voice detection understood what I said perfectly, even though I spoke with my mouth full. Technology is amazing.

 

[Arakhor]

Aren't you lucky you have an American accent, then?

 

[azzaman333]

Did I not post in this thread? I thought I did...

 

[Silurian]

The UK is good for somethings.

If you receive income-related ESA, you are entitled to other financial help, such as free NHS dental treatment, sight tests, prescriptions and housing grants.

 

[Arakhor]

That also applies if you have certain tax credit concessions.

 

[bhavv]

Execpt that dentists that offer that free service are rare. And I don't get income related, I'm on long term contribution based which pays a whopping £5 a week more, but I also found doesn't actually have a savings limit.

So yea, I really wont be wanting to do more than 16 hours / £107 pw of work while I'm on it.

If I could simply walk into some kind of A&E and get my tooth sorted for free, Id have done that. But it doesn't work that way.

 

[Takhisis]

But Lohrenswald, what about his camera?

 

[Lohrenswald]

He actually showed pictures from Egypt so it was fine lol

Egypt is really like, beige
