What irritates you?

WTF??

See u tonight?

ya I dont how long!!! but I will be there!!

gaining weight on vacation, and now having to buckle down to lose it.. tonights dinner? tofu, brown rice and asparagus - all things I really really love, but man... a big order of greasy fries sure sounds good..

It is really difficult to get back in the heathier eating, isn't it?

When I am eating the healthful stuff, I don't even want the junk.

But when I'm finally getting the message that I need to get back to eating right, oh my, nothing would taste better than - well, tonight, it is a BBQ pork sandwich I'm thinking about. And some potato chips and a beer. But pizza sounds good too, or a big smothered burrito, or ...

urp* Sorry, No Thanks. Just finished my bucket 'O' KFC. Even ate all the cole slaw!

anything with lots of cheese!!

pasta pasta pasta

that BBQ pork sounds great!!!

I went shopping hungry the other day... bought chips, pizzas and about four 1/2 gallons of ice creams. but I did also buy lots of weight watcher lunch meals. love those.

not being able to go out for a drink with my boss after work today

Why not? You don't have that second job any more. You'd think you would be out drinking every day after work now. :grin:

Her boss was busy on the phone. :cool:

just couldn't :confused: :chagrin:

it takes 21 days they say to break a bad habit... so it certainly takes a while for my body to stop wanting all the crap that is for sure (and i don't have 21 days between now and memorial day - when I will do it all over again!)

could fix 90% of my eating problems with just remembering to eat on a regular schedule, that seems to keep me to eating better things more frequently.

oh and mas aqua!

heading out now to my exit dinner :frown: :frown: :frown:

Enjoy yourself J. As sad as it is. :confused:

Still have your purple bracelet?? That can help break you back in... I have more if you need.

Heh, I didn't eat at all yesterday. Had my wisdom teeth out, and just didn't feel like eating anything. Though the dentist told me I could...

now today.. kinda wondering what to eat... probably just have something small. Shoot, dental work is a decent way to curb one's appetite, lol.

got a blender? Add a cheeseburger to it.

ewww....

Yeah, I was thinking something like a milkshake or something, but the dentist advised me against using a straw because of not disturbing the blood clots. Then my roommate reminded me now that I got two holes in the back of my jaw "what if food gets stuck back there?"

Shoot, the main reason I didn't eat yesterday was because I was too confused about what might cause me problems.

Applesauce that's not too cold. PB&J with lots of jelly. Straw drinks are perfectly fine - you just have to be smart enough not to jam the straw into the sore socket. You'd think that would be simple enough, right? Ow! :eek:

Last tooth I got pulled, I laid down and napped for 6-8 hours right after - left the gauze in there. I think that was huge not moving around, because healing went extremely fast and I didn't need any gauze after the 2nd day.

Always rinse with warm water - once the bleeding stops for good, you can swish it around as hard as you like. I'd avoid toothpicks for at least a week.

I've upgraded... I have Cuffs of love that I wear now, but that's a good idea to move them back and forth.

Yesterday I did really well - I didn't count my points, but I was somewhere around 17.. I need no more than 19 a day to lose.

Today is harder - it's softball night.

google-searching on this, sounds like a lot of people suggest applesauce, scrambled eggs, ice cream and milkshakes (eat with a spoon if concerned about the suction involved in using a straw disrupting clots), tomato soup or other broth (once you are having warm foods again), and I would think cream of wheat or oatmeal would be ok.

seems like a little care and caution for a few days is good prevention, plus you are probably following what your instincts tell you to do and not to do.

I wish dentists would be a little more specific in their instructions. I know they try to not make it complicated, but for those of us who want to do it the best possible way, some concrete suggestions would be helpful.

Now, don't go out and eat concrete, though, OK?

I have Cuffs of love that I wear now

Couldn't just leave that one...hmmmmmm...

well you sure don't wanna lose the bloodclots. Dry socket really hurts.

was so sick from the allergic reaction to the extra strength vicodin (i was 15, and they gave me a dose for a 200lb man) that I threw up for a week straight - and after when they sorted my meds out... chowed down on a sack of white castles.. :0)

my roommate got dry socket last year ... I've never heard him cry so much - he got it from smoking a cig and the suction.. not good.

well my most frequently used line is spanish is

"tienes las esposas? soy malcriada"

Do you have handcuffs? i'm a naughty girl

Thanks for looking that up for me. I'd check it out myself, but work is a disaster today.

Good thoughts on the applesauce, I think I'll go with that one. I certainly hope those holes fill up, it'd be annoying to have food get stuck up there all the time. Oh well, I'm back to the dentist in a couple weeks for more fun stuff, I'm sure I can ask about it if they haven't done something by then.

And no, no eating concrete, lol.

Si, buen

Peanuts usually help :wink:

irritates: getting my paycheck.. I'm out of vacation time, so my check was.. well - lets say, after my house expenses about $78

como se dice: broke? :sad:

How did that go? I know you were nervous. Must not have been too bad since you're going back. Dentistry is pretty much pain free these days. I tell my dentist he hasn't hurt me yet. Even through root canals and crowns.

Pretty good actually. The only thing really to fear is the bill, lol.

But all in all, I'm glad I've been back. Prevention is better than fixing worse problems anyway. Now if I just keep up with the regular checkups, I'll be fine.

Man.. I really dislike having to look for a job..

More and more though, it's becoming unavoidable. Today it went to a new level, one I used to joke about, but when it happens, it's not a joke anymore. :frown:

You actually found poop on your desk this morning?

Sorry Joel :angry:

lol umm. no.. that would have been better...

If only you knew a recruiter with a track record of getting jobs for Coolers. That'd be SOOO helpful. :neutral:

Argh.. had some solid food.. think my teeth weren't ready for it yet....

Back to figuring out some softer stuff. At this rate, I'll be on soft food for a week... :coolfrown: sure would be nice if something went right today.

a squirrel finding his way into my shed and storing all his nuts inside my snowmobile cover. Its full of holes now. Found his nest inside a bucket and a hole in the floor. Nailed a 2x4 over the hole and dumped the bucket. Used the nuts in my live trap outside. Now I'll just have to remember to check the trap. Last one wasn't so lucky. Felt kinda bad about that.

How ironic. Read my post in "Things You Really Enjoy".

wow. I had just read your post about the wren and Eags post about her squirrel just before I posted this. I didn't see your post about the attic squirrel. We musta posted at the same time almost.

washing my flashdrive...

was able to get my stuff off it this morning.. but i'm worried.

on the up side - I saw some on Amazon 4G for $27, sandisk.. might have to look into one

Is this a candidate for the "Six Degrees of Separation" thread?

my upper back tooth on the right side. Started hurting yesterday and was throbbing last night and this morning. Musta got a fish bone stuck up there from fridaynights fish fry at Obbs. :frown:

Getting rained out at the Saints game last night - brought Mom and Dad - sat out there for a good hour and got good n' soaked until the "Rain Delay" became a postponement.

They are playing a doubleheader today starting at 1:00, but our tickets were Season Ticket holder 'loaners', so no free access to today's game.

FIY: The Ball Delivery Piglet they got this year is named "BOAR-ock O-HAM-ah" - Voting beat out Hillary Rod-HAM Clinton and John MUCK-lain by a wide margin. (In a campaign that featured lots of mudslinging and pork-barrel politics. He replaces Garrison Squealer, the 2007 delivery swine.

I've done that before with a USB camera, toasted it because it had a battery... Good to hear you recovered yours.

yes and i got the 4G for $28 at best buy this weekend - so I'm rollin.

irritates: getting elbowed in the face Sat night at my soccer game.. I still have a fat lip. The worst part is - I got the two min penality, cause after she elbowed me, I threw her down. oops. :sheepish:

One word of advice. If you can, get a 2nd one to keep a backup copy of your main one. I had a flash drive die on me, and I'm really glad I had a copy.

Oops. LOL!!! :grin:

Next time hit for distance.

Don't mess with Vino!

It's not anything important that I usually keep on there- occasionally if I"m working on something at work, and I want to take it home or back and forth - this last time, I had jacked a bunch of photos off a friends computer in mexico - which made me glad to be able to down load them.

but I don't as a rule need one. I have an external hardrive too at home, that I back up to when I remember (speaking of - I have photos I need to do that with soon)

haha... I get pretty physical in the moment. You smack me, and there's a chance I'm bleeding, I"m gonna take you down for the count.
