Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[wolram]

I'm in terrible pain right now. I made this because I wanted to make Evo laugh, but I'm in so much pain that I don't even find it funny anymore :

Why I am in pain you wonder? This:

I'm in so much pain that the birds chirping outside are annoying me really bad with their chirping. Am I the only one who gets in bad mood when in pain?

I sympathies with your pain, tooth ache is terrible, may be it will cheer you a little, i have been in pain for 2 years yours will go away soon as will mine.

 

[Psinter]

Oh sorry to hear that. Is that the wise one ? Looks like a good keepsake.

It's okay. The what? If you mean the doctor, no, I wouldn't describe him as wise. I hate him for this pain.

I'm sorry that you're in pain :-/
It will pass soon I'm sure.
The wound needs to be kept dry, don't wash it with water or clot will not form.
Put there a cotton wool or tampon and press. It should stop bleeding in few minutes.

Thanks for the concern. Cotton wool is what I have there, but pressing hurts.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Didn't he recommend something for the pain?

Don't worry.

Nope he didn't prescribe or recommend anything for pain. How do I describe this pain: it makes me so irritable. And the birds are still chirping outside. I'm about to go outside and scare them all away. My friend told me I had PMS and laughed. My reaction to him:

You want an Oscar for that joke? Is what I told him.

I sympathies with your pain, tooth ache is terrible, may be it will cheer you a little, i have been in pain for 2 years yours will go away soon as will mine.

Thanks, I sure hope so.

It was the doctor the one who took that out. It was the doctor who put me in this pain.

Edit: And I am still bleeding. I hate it. He said I should stop bleeding soon and gave me recommendations which I don't even remember anymore. My mom was there listening, she must remember, I'll ask her later if I snap out of this pain and bad mood.

When I had a toothache and it was weekend so I had to survive without the dentist I was told in the pharmacy that the most powerful non-prescription medicine for toothache contains chemical called naproxenum natricium. In Europe it is sold under name Nalgesin.
Maybe ask about that at the pharmacy. Just be sure to ask the pharmacist if it is safe for you if you use other medicines or have some chronic conditions.

And I am still bleeding.

Try a wet tea bag ...

"A popular home remedy to stop the bleeding after wisdom tooth extraction is applying tea bags in the back of the jaws and biting down, given that the tannic acid in tea helps to clot blood."

And try to avoid this (dry socket), or ... the birds will be "living" in your head...

I think s/he meant the wisdom tooth. Ouch, sarcastic slow claps are nasty.

Ouch, sarcastic slow claps are nasty.

And that guy is good at it. I don't trust anyone who looks like they practice that sort of thing.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Every day I eat at least two carrots. This has been going on for a month.

I don't know what you have been through with your tooth. If it'd been pulled out, things'd be fine soon. relax, don't drink hot water and eat to many spicy or salty things.

...

...

this can kill me and all the cats, uh...uhm...

 

[zoobyshoe]

The news is saying we're in for a big storm here in San Diego. It might even snow.

Just turn off your clapper :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clapper
It was a mess when they left it on at the opera concert the other day.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Klatuu, barata nikto.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

Klatuu, barata nikto.

I hope that doesn't mean anything too different from "Klaatu, barada nikto". I'd hate for there to be any misunderstanding.

It's okay now, the pain has somewhat receded. I fell asleep and woke up because I temporarily choked with the blood and saliva . I'm fine now.

And try to avoid this (dry socket), or ... the birds will be "living" in your head...

Well, the pain has somewhat receded, now that I'm not in a bad mood and read this: Haha. That'd be epic (the birds in my head, not the complication, I hope I don't get it ).

I think s/he meant the wisdom tooth. Ouch, sarcastic slow claps are nasty.

Oh, is that what you meant Silicon Waffle? Yes, the one in the pic is one of those . All teeth go in vertical direction, except the wisdom tooth. Not very wise if you ask me. They be like: "No room for us? No problem, we'll push horizontally until you go mad. What? You are thinking about taking us out? Ohoho, that will hurt even more. No matter what you do, your only option is pain."

I'm going to have to arrest them for torture.

I want solid food, but I know it's going to pain if I try.

Recovery powers: activate! Oh, I forgot I don't have those.

Just kick him every time he (dentist) does something painful to you. You tell him: " you hurt me, I hurt you, deal ?" and I am pretty sure he will be more careful. And wear leather shoes.

I'm not sure of the literal meaning. I transliterated it from a Bruce Campbell movie. It was given to him as an incantation to get from the past back to the present. It was a very campy movie.

"There's no place like home" (Oz)?

 

[zoobyshoe]

"There's no place like home" (Oz)?

Probably more like, "Let's do the time warp again!"

Sounds like a plan.

McDonalds downward trend worse:

“We are in the throes of a deep depression, and nothing is changing,” a franchise owner wrote in response to a financial survey by Nomura Group. “Probably 30% of operators are insolvent.” One owner went as far as to speculate that McDonald’s is literally “facing its final days.”

So I've been wondering, are these things for decoration or if I go to a bank and say I want to deposit 1 dollar they will accept it? Or what if I go to a store, will they accept it? Because I have a few of these. Like 4, I think.

You could deposit it in your bank account but it is possible that you would have to pay a fee for using a foreign currency. What's more, bank would probably convert it to your currency using an expensive rate. So the final result could be quite small.
It would perhaps be better to change it at an exchange office.

Or sell it online, ebay, etc.?

There is a dedicated network of U.S. citizens who spend their hard earned money to send those coins overseas to get them out of circulation here. It costs over $3 to get rid of each one, but it's worth it because they're considered an annoyance. Cash registers have no slot for dollar coins and no business wants to accept them. Everyone hates them, but the mint keeps producing them and we're not allowed to just destroy them.

Why is it so? You have cent coins, too, don't you? Do you hate them as well?

 

[zoobyshoe]

The problem is that we already have a paper dollar. All cash registers have a slot for paper dollars, but no slots for coin dollars. It's confusing to have two forms for the same amount, and they are too close in size to our quarter dollars. It's quite possible to get and give one instead of a quarter. I did it a couple weeks ago.

Sounds like the Susan B Anthony dollar some time back. Those pretty much went out of circulation for the same reason. I would have hoped the Federal government would have learned from that fiasco, considering the cost of designing and producing a redundant currency no one wants to deal with.

Every time they release a new dollar coin there are scores of articles questioning why the hell they did it again. The mint's reason had something to do with vending machines I think. It was something lame.

LOL

So it pretty much has no value then, right? I mean, it is people the one that gives values to things, right? What about you zoobyshoe, would you accept them if I buy something from you with them? Let's see, I want chocolate, would you exchange that coin for chocolate?

Transitioning from dollar bills to dollar coins would save the American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars in production costs each year. While the coins are a bit more costly to initially produce, they stay in circulation much longer. In the long run, coins are the better deal. [Edit: one might be able to make the argument that the difference is a wash though.]

Perhaps the problem is that every time dollar coins go into production, the paper bills keep being produced too; the coins never have a chance to catch on.
