What Irked You Today?

Christmas for me was just as bad as the start of December was. Scammed out of $77.00, loss of use of my debit card because of the scam. No replacement of  the debit card yet either! I spent nearly $400.00 on my roommates Christmas, which I paid for an eye test, and new Glasses. Then bought a few thing's for under the tree for him as well. In return I got zip zero Nothing under the Tree for me this year!!! Not even a visit from the jolly o'l elf!

The start of 2025 won't be a good one either! Any cash I having coming will be already spent. Tag for the plates on the car, Insurance for said car, Cell phone service, and Trash bill due as well.

I'm so sorry for you, Rick. It hurts to be taken for granted. I hope things get better for you.

We're just starting to get the bad rain weather. Was nice all week went skiing yesterday but nothing of the sort will happen on the weekend or today. It's gettin' pretty messy around here; slush freezing to ice.

Speaking of the skiing I mentioned I guess on Christmas eve two dunderheads decided to go joyriding with thier cars on the actual ski trail and then get stuck. And then the payloader sent in to get them out got stuck. It was all cleared up by the time we went yesterday but still how stupid do you have to be to just wreck community property like that. These days there is simply no respect for other's property.

Over the years I've had a couple of teeth containing old fillings break while eating somewhat hard items. They have broken at the gum line and never ached. Last month another one cracked,  but this time vertically leaving the back half still intact. Once again not hurting one bit. Last night after popping a seedless grape in my mouth and taking that first bite I heard a crack followed by a sharp pain. Now the remaining piece of tooth has some looseness but is attached somewhere enough to not  disengage. It's impossible to eat without irritating it not to mention the wondering tongue that can't leave it alone. I put in a call to my oral surgeon and I'm awaiting a call back for an appointment. Not the best time of the year to get into any type of doctors office, some are closed over the holidays. I guess theirs always good old whiskey to dull the pain..😉

Hope you have good dental insurance, sounds like you're going to need it.

I do Dave, I just dislike the whole dental experience, especially the needles. It all stems from the jerk dentist we had as a kid. I am the, I'm not going until I have no other choice kinda guy. It was tough to even make the call.

I went thru the whole braces' thing thru my teens, and I think I had nothing but soup to eat as long as I can remember. I still don't like anyone putting their hands in my mouth. I have had dental implants where the old teeth would no longer support a crown. While expensive I like that better than the false teeth and bridges that have been recommended in the past. Good luck to you with your dental issues.

In the middle of my time off for the Christmas holiday, the general manager of my school bus company sent out a text message to all drivers including me reminding us that all schools we service resume on the second. We all knew that before hand.
