That would be the Evil Smurfs, right? Could run into trouble going up against the Billikins!

[Deer Hunter]

The big and scary hb is with jacko and daniel are having breakfast at the pink cadillac diner just south of lexington.

Not a bad place. Eat there every now and then. Lots of pictures on the wall (Elvis, John Wayne. Marilyn Monroe, etc.).

[Deer Hunter]

I'd love that... I have some great ideas!! :) I hope his tooth is getting fixed today!!

Tooth is feeling much better. :) Actually slept through the night without pain waking me up. Just taking Naproxen instead of Hyrocodone, now. I'm kinda torn between a "wait and see attitude" and going to oral surgeon and getting it taken care of (root canal, pulled or whatever). Dentist suggests going to oral surgeon and getting it taken care of. he may be right.

[Deer Hunter]

I guess we could use a few more normal people around here to help balance things out.

May take more than a few. :)

Go get it taken care of now!
You haven't cured your problem, just mitigated the worst symptoms.
I once developed an abscessed tooth that went from level 2 to 10 on the pain scale within 48 hours. I was out of town at the time (vacation, no less) and had to find an emergency dental clinic. They did an emergency root canal but failed to prescribe adequate antibiotics. By the time we got home from FL, I was in pain at the dentist AGAIN, this time with a severe recurrent infection deep inside the gum. Hurt worse than the initial infection :(

Hi, Ho!
Welcome to the cafe. If that worthless One Sock will ever get out of bed, he owes you a Gene Gene The Dancing Machine.
**frowns at list in hand** I really need to get moving on standardizing these new PoHo orientation procedures.I've been "Lurkin" most of the morning, mama's home sick today, so been laying off the keys (she says it pisses her off) and helpin her out when I can. But this is seriously cutting into my POHO time, and with HB away, it's time to make some posts, and get back in the running after my UN-scheduled hiatus.

Well, that's good news... no pain to wake you up!! :D I'm a big baby so I don't walk- I run to the dentist whenever I'm in tooth pain. I hope it goes away for good DH!

Kinda confused right now. Dentist says he doesn't see what is causing the problem so he wont do anything and oral surgeon says he will only pull it. :confused: I would like to save the tooth if possible. I had one do this about 6 years ago. It hasn't bothered me since then. I'm not sure how to proceed.

Ha ha! I have never liked going to the dentist so it has to be hurting bad before I go. My momma used to take me to the dentist when I was a kid. The dentist would have to come out to the car and carry me in. My momma had it rough between myself and my brother.

[SunnyWalker]

Foot is doing well, I believe. I walk around almost with no limp, however I am wearing a big plastic foot thingy the surgeon gave me to wear. I see him 3/28 and he thinks I may return then to tennis shoes. He feels I will be ok to go in April (mid to late). The foot has congenital birth defects but never had a problem until this last year and it was that toe. So that little piggly went to market, ha, ha. While I have been off read some good books. Here is a fascinating book on our culture you might find interesting: Empire of Illusion: The end of literacy and the triumph of spectacle. This book is by Chris Hedges (winner of P Prize).

Regulation 3.2, sec. 4a. Cafe Poho-ing.
Article 1. Poho points are considered an open source resource available to all, much like Linux in ye olden days. 100 (one hundred) Poho points may be awarded from one PoHo to another once a day. A PoHo may not award himself additional PoHo points. That's too poho-ish, even for the cafe. Besides, it's tacky. ;) Violation of said regulation will result in banishment to alternate inane forum thread of cafe members' choice, where miscreant must remain until rehabilitation has been effected. Or supper time, whichever comes first.

I studied emerging Internet & web technologies back in the day...but went over to the dark side (graphic design & marketing) pretty quickly. I did go as far as learning to create web sites entirely in HTML because it was a requirement. I couldn't do it now to save my life :o

There is one good thing to come out of this. I have cut my Skoal chewing down by probably 80%. Hope I can kick it once and for all. I know how you feel, Rasty. Hope your doing ok with the smokes. :)

TW, actually well rounded because you are knowledgeable in many different areas, and everyone is aware of your sharp wit with by now. I especially enjoy your ability to synthesize (connect the dots). I can see where you would be a very valuable resource in marketing.

[FatHead64]

Kinda confused right now. Dentist says he doesn't see what is causing the problem so he wont do anything and oral surgeon says he will only pull it. :confused: I would like to save the tooth if possible. I had one do this about 6 years ago. It hasn't bothered me since then. I'm not sure how to proceed.

X-ray wise, what have they done? The usual bite-wing x-rays are nice enough for surveillance monitoring, but you need to go to something bigger (Panarex, for example) in my opinion. It's fine to start with verbal symptoms, but you need to go looking if you were in the kind of pain it sounded like to me. And neither of those options necessarily compares with what people are able to do these days with the digital x-rays. Maybe a second opinion is in order? (Sorry - lots of dentists in my family, but I am the engineer, so take my advice with a grain of salt).

Accept the inevitable. The Garfield wallpaper has already been ordered. I used Gray Blazer's credit card :D

[FatHead64]

I have had the same experience, sometimes I have wondered which came first.

Panarex is a whole head x-ray - you sit in a "swiveling chair" when taking it. Kind of "unwraps" your head and lays it out flat. Not sure how well it picks up sinus infections, though.

Panarex views of the head are totally useless where the cafe crowd is involved. Have you not been paying any attention? :p Cheaper and faster to shine your head lamp in one ear and see if a circle projects on the opposite wall :D

Deer Hunter, seriously, I do agree that you might want to seek a second opinion. The type of discomfort you described means something is wrong and it might be sinus infection, an early abcess, root dying, I don't know, but I would be hesitant to just let it go, especially knowing that you use tobacco. Get the xray. You want to make sure nothing else weird is going on with your jaw. Please.

My left toe of my left foot was amputated this last Feb 15. I see the Surgeon this March 28th to see if I can return to a regular shoe. Doc says I will be ok to start CDT this latter part of April. I was going to start April 20th, may wait until end of April to start. I DID want to get a head start, oh well. I'll be using those Keen shoes. They're good for my feet. Whats good for my feet is good for my mind. Cuz my mind can't stand anymore abuse than my feet as my feet talk to my mind when I'm walking. So when my feet get a hurtin' then my mind gets to doubtin' and then one thing leads to another and before you know it I am stopped for the day. So, moral of the story? Make sure you take real good care of your feet. Clean 'em each day, put good socks on 'em, rest 'em, feed 'em, and put shoes on 'em that are good from the start. The brand and type are different for each of us but the effort is worth it. Happy Paddys Day, God Bless All here!


I wish you well!

The fire road going up Basin Creek from the access on Longbottom Rd. all the way up to the Parkway is great. Long, 7+mi. gradual uphill walk that is moderately sloped enough to be very enjoyable, yet still good training. Creek is lovely with a handful of easily waded crossings. There is a side trail which goes 3+miles up to a neat old still standing homeplace. That grade is a little more challenging in parts and is strictly out and back unless you bushwhack. Only been up to the cabin once. There are several good loops that could be put together for a great, varied, 3day trip. As a bonus there are some good exhibits at the top along the Parkway. Might be a good venue for you, TW, your husbands if available, and me to get some miles in this spring. Just thinkin out loud. Love to actually do it though. Close to you and 3 hrs drive each for me and TW.

Long, 7+mi. gradual uphill walk that is moderately sloped enough to be very enjoyable, yet still good training. Creek is lovely with a handful of easily waded crossings. There is a side trail which goes 3+miles up to a neat old still standing homeplace. That grade is a little more challenging in parts and is strictly out and back unless you bushwhack. Only been up to the cabin once. There are several good loops that could be put together for a great, varied, 3day trip. As a bonus there are some good exhibits at the top along the Parkway. Might be a good venue for you, TW, your husbands if available, and me to get some miles in this spring. Just thinkin out loud. Love to actually do it though. Close to you and 3 hrs drive each for me and TW.

You need to understand that often when you’re long distance hiking food can be limited so if you can’t handle that fact that you might haveto eat low budget food you better off just staying home or you can always walk around the mall. Cinnabon opens at 10am

The fire road going up Basin Creek from the access on Longbottom Rd. all the way up to the Parkway is great. Long, 7+mi. gradual uphill walk that is moderately sloped enough to be very enjoyable, yet still good training. Creek is lovely with a handful of easily waded crossings. There is a side trail which goes 3+miles up to a neat old still standing homeplace. That grade is a little more challenging in parts and is strictly out and back unless you bushwhack. Only been up to the cabin once. There are several good loops that could be put together for a great, varied, 3day trip. As a bonus there are some good exhibits at the top along the Parkway. Might be a good venue for you, TW, your husbands if available, and me to get some miles in this spring. Just thinkin out loud. Love to actually do it though. Close to you and 3 hrs drive each for me and TW.

Hey, yeah, I'd be up for that. We tried a portion of Doughton Park one November years & years ago...wading the icy cold creeks like 7 or 8 times killed a lot of the fun factor. We went with another couple who were still in the courting stage...he sweetly offered to let her warm her feet on his big hairy belly. He said no when I asked if he could share the wealth :mad: I do remember we were aiming to get to the cabin, but didn't make it all the way that time.

The acting is good, it is just that he is made up to look like... well Abraham Lincoln. :eek:
FWIW the Tommie Lee Jones character looks even worse.

On the other side of the coin Sally Field sure isn't the Flying Nun or Frog anymore either.
