Pain Is ...

Pain is unexpected dental surgery you really can't afford right now. Arrgh!

Anyone really good with vice-grips? ; )

Blogging may be a bit light, or off and on, until this is resolved. Just letting you know.

Take care and hurry back . . .

[Elmo]

Good luck chief ...

Signed, veterano dental wars (major stripeage).

[joyMc]

Best to get it done before healthcare comes in or vice grips may be a reality as in UK. Get some good pain meds.

After surgery, ICE. I found (and I've had a lot of dental stuff done)the swelling causes a lot of grief. Liberally apply ice, admit you will do nothing for a while...just heal. And, this too will pass.

[Mike2Cents]

You do have health insurance...right?
And if you don't, you will get this taken care of right away - regardless of the cost or burden to you - in full accordance with your conservative values...right?
I mean, you wouldn't want this to worsen and then require some sort of govt. funded intervention...no emergency room/hospital bills that you 'can't afford right now' getting passed on to the taxpayer...right?

Having said that, sorry to hear about your tooth ache.

Take your vicodin, keep the lights off and watch Gunsmoke reruns. It is easy to recognize who the bad guys are, and someone always has a shot at redemption. In the end, the bad guys get shot my Marshall Dillon, and everything ends happily.

[Dan Riehl]

Real nice, mikey. Spoken like a true progressive. ideology over compassion, which is why your health care solutuion won't work.

Clue, I've paid out far more in dental bills over the years than it would cost me to procure your wife, sister and girlfriend for Tiger's welcome back to golf party. Hell, I doubt they add up to one root canal! ; )

And this one won't be any different as for who pays the bill.

[Mike2Cents]

You missed the compassion.
And the point.
But further to that, your bitchiness is forgiven out of understanding for your pain driven crankiness.
At least today you have an excuse...

[USMC]

Dan,

If you had a tooth pulled you haven't lived until you experience dry sockets!!! They're fantastic!!! sarcasm. Get a Pez dispenser and fill it with Percosets! LOL!

Ignore the progressives, Dan, they're going down. Beck says "Hi!".

[SacTownMan]

Leave it to the snarky little troll NonSense to bring everybody down! Nothing else if not predictable!

Nobody likes going to the dentist Dan. The funny thing is once you get it done you look back and say "Why didn't I go earlier?".

That is unless you're like NonSense'e mom and just soak your choppers in a glass while sitting around drinking Vodka coffee in the morning at the trailer park!

Only a troll would wonder who pays the bill for dental health care. What an idiot!

[Aye Chihuahua]

Ahhh yes.

Nothing quite as nice as dental issues/surgical procedures right 'round the holidays.

Nothing better really.

Take good care of yourself.

Follow the doc's instructions and remember that day three is the worst.

[Mike2Cents]

Man, some of you guys are totally humorless -
yet still good for a laugh.

[North Dallas Thirty]

"You missed the compassion."

That's because there was none.

You led off with an attempt to score political points, just throwing in a statement at the last calculated to make it look like you cared.

You seem to be desperate, Mike2Cents. Is it because you see your attempt to steal more money for your government feeding, clothing, and diapering going off the rails? Is Obama not following through on his promise to you to fill your gas tank and pay your mortgage? Is it looking more and more like you might actually have to go to work to make money instead of being able to take from your neighbors?

[Mike2Cents]

ND30 -
Another litany of nonsensical non sequiturs.
But put your money where your mouth is and drop some dental funds into Dan's tip jar (just in case you didn't get that hint in the post).
I honestly don't wish for Dan to have a sore tooth - whatever you think.
I know it's stressful for you to hear that Dan is any kind of pain, but I promise he'll be ok.

[Darth Venomous]

"Another litany of nonsensical non sequiturs."

Translation: "Dead-on, as usual, ND30".

You're a real pussy, Michelle.

[Mike2Cents]

"You're a real pussy" -
Perhaps you aren't all that familiar with one?
I guess just one more thing for you to be mad about.

[astonerii]

I hate emergency tooth repair, it makes it really hard to shop around for a low cost dentist.

health insurance does not equal dental insurance. Dental insurance is a separate coverage in most cases.

[mike2cents]

Just in case Dan does have health insurance -
It is not uncommon for a decent policy to cover some dental needs, e.g. an impacted tooth, etc.

[templar knight]

My health insurance is pretty bad when it comes to dentistry, Mikey. That's why I buy lots of floss and brush..brush..brush! Prevention is pretty cheap insurance.

[Darth Venomous]

"Perhaps you aren't all that familiar with one? I guess just one more thing for you to be mad about."

Just because _your_ dates are with your right hand and a bag of Cheesy Poofs, doesn't mean everyone's is.

"It is not uncommon for a decent policy to cover some dental needs, e.g. an impacted tooth, etc."

Come to my doorstep and spew your BS and let's see how yours does, chickens**t.

[USMC]

Damn,

Dan leaves the office and all hell breaks loose!

[SacTownMan]

Brother Knight the only thing more foreign to a troll than a rational thought is a toothbrush!!

Keep holding out for that free health care NonSense and maybe one day you can soak your choppers next to your mom's!!

Next thing you know you'll move up to that there new double-wide!!

Get the Popov Vodka it's less than $10 per 1.75 liter bottle, but hey what am I telling you for your mom already knows all the best deals!!

Cheers!!!

mmmmm!!!!mmmmm!!!!mmmmm!!!!

Pain Is ... weakness leaving your body! Hu Rah

[templar knight]

SacTownMan, how are you? And how is everything?

[Mike2Cents]

Darth -
I don't think the results of nightly uptight rage-induced teeth grinding is covered.
Take a walk and get some air...maybe to Sac's house.

Seriously, sorry to get all your panties in a twist. Slow day at work..and Dan's post was just a'beggin'.
Now have either of you potty-mouthed wall punchers tipped the jar yet?
I didn't think so.
Hope Dan has some real friends that'll help him out.

[Darth Venomous]

"I don't think the results of nightly uptight rage-induced teeth grinding is covered."

Try more along the lines of having your teeth knocked down your throat, wuss boy.

"Seriously, sorry to get all your panties in a twist. Slow day at work"

No one ordering fries today, huh?

[astonerii]

I do not remember this site being infected with so much violence.

Dan, if you need a good OTC med for dental pain, try ibuprofen. It really works a lot better than the other OTC meds. Not quite as good as Lorcet or Vicodin, but it is OTC.

[memoire d'ordinateur portable]

Wow what a post, nice post.. Really pain is very bad thing... There are so much of comments which is really fantastic, this is very helpful for me in some ways where i can stop the pain..

[Flap]

Dan,

Sorry WordPress really screwed up the trackback.

Hope you are feeling better.

If not, contact me.

[Philip McDaniel]

Hi Dan;
Here's hoping you're OK. I lost a crown off a back molar while hunting up in UP Michigan...after bagging a buck. I guess I chomped down too hard on my cigar. Easy fix though. :)

[Elmo]

Hey ... whuddya know ... Dan left the liquor cabinet unlocked! (Well gotta give those uncomfortable with any birther nonsense, something/anything?).

Anyway, where were we ... oh right

http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=6839

1) According to a number of licensed investigators National Databases show Mr. Obama using as many as 39 different Social Security numbers, which included the numbers of deceased individuals and numbers never assigned.

2) Number 042-68-4425 that Mr. Obama used for most of his life and is currently using while residing in the White House, is a number assigned to an individual born in 1890, who resided in the state of Connecticut and this Social Security number was issued in the state of Connecticut where Mr. Obama never resided.

(New to me ... and so it goes).

I'm guessing you're still hurting, since there've been no more posts...

I don't know what the specific problem is with your tooth, but I have a suggestion. They make a "temporary filling" paste that's also suitable for rebuilding a broken cap or tooth. You can get it at most stores, right in the section with the mouthwash. It works by cutting off the fresh air hitting the exposed nerve, and the relief is INSTANT. (And it has clove oil as an ingredient, which is a natural painkiller & disinfectant.)

If you're still in pain, it may tide you over until you get in the chair... When I've had to rely on it, it's been a lifesaver.

[Fred Beloit]

Mike50cent, this is for you because you probably feel very sorry for Al Gore right now. But you needn't. Al Gore already has a new business. He is opening a new chain of clinics across the entire European Union. The enterprises are to be named The Academy Award Fart Clinics. He'll still be hard at work stopping climate change, his way.

[Neo]

I once caught an "earache" on my way to jury duty. I spent the morning listening to drunk driving case, while I gritted my teeth in an effort to ignore the pain. I started to wonder what the lawyers were thinking looking at my body language. Finally, after lunch I could stand no more and asked the "tipstaff" to talk to the judge.

Hope your pain is over.

[WBestPresidentEver]

Dan, Hope you will be able to get it tended to soon and will be feeling better soon.
Dental work is tedious and I am sure that they go through years of training to be where the are. I have one of the best around I think. He is on top of his game. It is hard to find a good dentist you can trust and depend on. All dentist are not alike. Hope yours is a good one.
Dan,you are missed when you are not here writing. Bless you always. Til you return I will be thinking about you as you overcome yet another bump in the road in this thing called life.
Dental work is expensive whether you have insurance or not.Sent you something.
Take care.

[Mike2Cents]

Fred...not to disappoint..but I think you'd be surprised by my opinion of Al Gore.
It ain't positive.

[pablo panadero]

I don't know where you live, but consider offering yourself up as a test patient at a dental school. You get quality care admistered by students, but closely supervised by experts.

[i'vegotminegotohell]

Mr. Riehl,

If you can't afford dental surgery it's your own damn fault. What are you, a welfare queen? Do you want help? Sympathy? Compassion? What is this, communist Russia? Work harder, or find a more lucrative profession than being the racist, homophobic, cretinous embarrassment you are now.

I just hope you don't come crawling to the dread Federal guvmint when you get periodontal disease and are in constant mind-numbing pain. Enjoy the free-market in healthcare, friend!

[Darth Venomous]

"I just hope you don't come crawling to the dread Federal guvmint when you get periodontal disease and are in constant mind-numbing pain."

Because, Dan, we certainly wouldn't want you to become so mind-numbed that you wind up like our little limp-wristed jackass of a "friend", here.

[i'vegotminegotohell]

I think it'd be exceedingly hard for Dan Riehl to be possessed of a mind that is any more numbed. Let's just hope Danny-boy isn't forced into subway-riding penury by his serious dental problems because after all...black people ride subways! And they're dangerous! Just like the gays!

Seriously, you have no idea how funny it is for someone with a triple-didget IQ to read the venemous filth on this site. I'm "limp-wristed" because I want Dan, who constantly beats his chest about his own wealth, power, and importance, to man-up and pay for his own damn healthcare?

I'm not saying this for show, I REALLY DO want good old Mr. Riehl to bankrupt himself paying to fix his rotten teeth. Maybe then, when he's knee deep in debt and inches away from foreclosure, he'd see some of the benefits of "socialist" healthcare and why the American system is so desperately in need of fundemental change.

[Darth Venomous]

"Seriously, you have no idea how funny it is for someone with a triple-didget IQ..."

BWAH-HAHAHAHA...!!!~ (snort)

"...to read the venemous filth on this site."

Well, your "triple-didget IQ" misspelled that, too - but thank you!

"I'm "limp-wristed" because I want Dan, who constantly beats his chest about his own wealth, power, and importance, to man-up and pay for his own damn healthcare?"

No, you're "limp-wristed" because you're a pansy-assed little pussy.

Next question? (chuckle)
