Old Pharts Club

[Lady Sarah]

Yeah, I agree, those folks are scavengers when it comes to money....!

And it's exactly why medicare and medicaid won't pay for adult dentistry. Why award the crooks?

 

[JuicyLucy]

I been just watching YouTube videos for health issues, screw the (so-called) doctors.

I have a chiropractor I particularly like - he's really helped me on my road to better health

 

[Jimi]

Hmmm... well, given that, at the time I got my mouth excavated and the plastic teeth put in, I couldn't afford a real dentist or denturist, so it was all done at a dental college. If poor dentistry was likely, that would have been the place to get it, yet I am the only one I know who doesn't have problems.

Well you can count yourself lucky the dentist that i went to (because of lack of funds) did a shitty job and mine have bothered me since. They run that quack out of town shortly after too.

Lucky you. The only chiropractor I saw fucked up my back so bad that I could not walk without crutches. After submitting a BBB complaint, he got fired, but the place would not do anything to help, either.

 

[Jimi]

I haven't been able to trust dentists for decades. They're like some of the kids these days. They do as little as possible, and expect a wad of cash for their efforts. When I go to a dentist to have a tooth pulled, it does NOT mean I want my teeth cleaned instead.

I know just what you mean Sarah, it's hard to find a truly good dentist. They all scare the hell out of me.

Thank you Dale I agree 1000% my friend

 

[Jimi]

Thought you might use it to blast kids off the lawn

Evening Lucy, how you doing tonight my friend

 

[Lady Sarah]

I know just what you mean Sarah, it's hard to find a truly good dentist. They all scare the hell out of me.

I got lucky when I found a dental mission that would charge $25 per visit, and all they did was pull teeth. That's here I had my remaining uppers pulled. Very shortly thereafter, they decided to not accept patients from my county.

I always thought they were witch doctors, until I learned different.

Naah not enough range just fuzzes out pretty quick.
And anyway in the summer the darned brats like being sprayed.

 

[Draconigena]

What happened? Everybody disappeared???

 

[inspects]

Was just looking around, you didn't scare anyone away.....

 

[Jimi]

I was just wondering that myself Rich

 

[Draconigena]

After all of today's work, I know I need a bath, but I didn't think B.O. traveled via internet...

 

[Ryedan]

It's like that with us old pharts ... One minute we're here yaking it up and the next we're gone

I managed to tucker out the pooch though, she's on her bed beside me snoring now

Just like The Twilight Zone.

 

[Jimi]

I haven't been able to taste food, vape, or anything for the past 3 months , it all came back to me tonight just like someone flipped a switch.

You had a virus of some sort?

 

[choderfett]

Wassup! It was a long day today!
Finally at home, had dinner, showered, and relaxing with some vapes..

What’s it mean when you seem start to not vape as much?
I don’t crave vaping much during the work day and even at home, it becoming less frequent.. time for a new flavor?

 

[Draconigena]

Just like The Twilight Zone.

Yup, and Crom and I are both from different planets, come here to entice Old Pharts to... uh... to...
Did you know that Old Pharts also sometimes cannot remember what they were going to say?

Same thing here....I don't vape much anymore....just don't feel like it.

Guess nicotine isn't as addictive as some say.

Yep. Especially when I have to wait for someone else to stop flapping their gums. Then, I find myself thinking "now, what was it I wanted to say?"

Lol.. Ive been toggling between 3 and 0 nico..

 

[inspects]

Lol.. Ive been toggling between 3 and 0 nico..

I been toggling from 6mg to no vaping.

Was in Florida a few weeks ago, went two days without vaping...didn't bother me a bit.

After smoking a pack-a-day for 40 yrs.

The flavors just seem to become tasteless to me. At least until I try one I don't care for. Then, what seemed tasteless all of a sudden is wonderful.

 

[Ryedan]

I went to the doc a couple years ago and, of course, they wanted to do surgery. I was tired of having those butchers cut me open for every little sliver I get, so I asked to be sent up to physical therapy to talk to them. The PT guy gave me a print out of exercises and a large red rubber band to use. After about three months, it really was better, then I futched it up again, so I started back in with the exercises and it got better after another 3-4 months, then I screwed it up again. Seems that every time I think I have it fixed, I do some dumb ass thing here to mess it up again. Sigh...

My experience has been 3 - 4 months isn't enough time for an old phart rotator cuff injury. By then mine was still really fragile too and I'm sure easy to reinjure. I have rubber bands too, yellow is the lightest resistance, green is a bit tighter and blue is the hardest. I stayed on the yellow for about three months before I started working with the green one and I'm still not using the blue one now. Then again I have to be careful doing those exercises with the blue one with my good shoulder.

It just takes a really long time to strengthen those muscles. Hang in there my friend, you'll get past it in time.

My hubby messed up his left rotator cuff. He does not want to see a doctor about it, out of fear of not being able to work.

To me, it never was about the nic. My addiction is/was to suck-and-blow. (OK, perverts, sex is not the topic)

Rotator cuff injuries are a troublesome.. it’s periodic pain and being limited on movement..

 

[inspects]

Friend of mine who was in the stucco business has some real cuff issues, when he moves his arms you can hear bone rubbing against bone.....wow....gave me the feeling of fingernails on a chalkboard.

 

[choderfett]

To me, it never was about the nic. My addiction to to suck-and-blow. (OK, perverts, sex is not the topic)

It’s the oral fixation .. like smoking.. towards the end of my cig days.. I’d usually find myself lighting up, but taking only a few drags..

 

[Draconigena]

Mine is red. Where does that fit into the hardness scale?

He works with sheet steel all day. Sheets 5x10 feet, 10 to 22 gauge. Usually 150 to 200 sheets a day on his machine.

True, Rich...I could quit vaping tomorrow and prolly the only thing I'd miss is the hand to mouth action. I'll keep vaping for awhile, I don't want to begin putting food in my mouth as often as I vape....

Not that I know of, did have a lot of garlic and onion in my salad and it happened right after that

If I had a job that required physical exertion (beyond what the farm is doing to me), I probably would be laid off for being unable to work. I can lift my arm (slowly) up to shoulder level, but not with any weight in my hand. I can lift lots of weight if I do not have to lift my arm beyond what just bending the elbow can accomplish.

He has full motion, and can easily pick up all 172 pounds of me. He complains about the pain at home, and I can usually massage it down to a whimper.

 

[choderfett]

Just bought some 18650 wraps on eBay.. decided to go with white .. but was leaning clear. Figured if there was another rip, I wouldn’t be readily visible.. 20 sheaths for $1.50 on the bay..

I can go without nic but still have the desire to vape must be the flavor

 

[Lady Sarah]

Oh no. If I don't have my nic, I start shaking.

 

[choderfett]

Oh no. If I don't have my nic, I start shaking.

How much nic you running Sarah?

 

[inspects]

I can go without nic but still have the desire to vape must be the flavor

I think so too, Jimi....I've brewed up some tasty concoctions lately.....

 

[Lady Sarah]

Usually 24mg. Stuff I'm vaping now has 30. I had the same thing about nic withdrawal when I was smoking too.

To me that’s a LOT..

What setup are you using with the high nic?

 

[Ryedan]

Hi Ryedan yeah it's just a little better still a lot of pain though, especially in the ACL. How you doing tonight my friend

Hope that knee gets better for you soon Jimi!

I'm tired, had a long shift on my feet yesterday and I've been fairly active today too, but I'm good with that. Di, my wife is in a bit of pain now from the pulled teeth but a Tylenol 3 is really helping her. I think she's asleep now. She heals pretty quick, faster than I do, so hopefully in a couple of days she will be much better.

 

[Lady Sarah]

Wow, Sarah....your vaping High-Test....

I thought "holy shit" when I saw juice at 48mg. Then, I saw juice at 60mg.
