There are people on the net that have nothing better to do
with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Two Down; Four to Go Well, I'm back. And swollen and sore but two of the six are done. Took about a half-hour total for the actual fillings to finish but over an hour total when you include waiting on the novocaine and such. As always, the novocaine made me all uncontrollably shaky (apparently an uncommon but well-known side effect in some people) which I hate but thankfully, as always, it still did the trick.
My furthest back two teeth on the bottom left are now done. I have one on top left, two on bottom right and one on top right left. Next week (13th) they've got me in to finish the left side and do the one on the top.
They don't do amalgam fillings there which is good because I don't like them. And I have some serious concerns on the mercury within them and evidence that shows problems with it leading to mercury posioning. So I have two white composite fillings and you can't even see them. You wouldn't have any clue that I had fillings in there. That's a really nice thing. Especially since I'm getting six done total in my mouth, I won't end up full of silver. When it's all done, I'll only have one silver one left from years ago so that's not too bad.
Getting the composite ones was different then getting the amalgam ones. There was less uber-stench chemical that I remember made me uncontrollably retch the last time I had a cavity filled. The worst smell was of course the burning from the drill. Gods, can it be any more horrifying a combination? That noise with the smell of your own teeth turning into dust right under you nose?
*shudders*
Apparently, they'll be a little cold sensitive for awhile. The cavities were very deep so there will be some pain and sensitivity until it heals up. They're all really bad which is why I need to do them in stages. That and I can't afford to do all of it yet. I'm $240 shy of getting all of them done. Seeing as it took me over six months to get the $500-odd I have, this will probably [sadly] stretch on until next year. Today was $292 for the two of them. Next week's is $160ish on it's own because it's a harder one and larger. Then I have another $125ish one and the other two which is the same as today. Ugh.
So...my jaw is sore. Slightly puffy and swollen. The novocaine is starting to wear off (hey, is that the other half of my tongue?) and there's a lot of "pressure" feeling in my mouth. I already took some advil in hopes of blunting the transition away from the novocaine. Today's a soft-food dinner - maybe some soup or some Cream of Wheat or something - to help lessen the ouch factor.
Anyway, two down. I'm going to go curl up on the couch for a bit now. I feel like I need it. Heh.
