Tarannus

Some of the time takes pictures, from Black Mesa

I've yet, to find an olfactory experience more emotionally evocative than the smell of tooth enamel being peeled away by a dentist's drill May 22, 2019 at 11:04 PM

  You know you've lived a transient lifestyle when you have to make a spreadsheet of the places you've lived: 3 states, 9 addresses, 13 years.

  If you live in a place with subsidized insurance - please take advantage of it! This is the end product of 10 years without insurance:

    DO! Brush, floss, and get regular checkups when you can. I'm glad I caught it when I had the means, but my dentist was absolutely sincere when he said he was scared about my prognosis. He legitimately worried about my susceptibility to heart problems and neurological issues from a sustained abscess.

  Take care of your teeth, my friends. A decade's worth of not having insurance is about to cost me a couple years of expensive procedures.

    Thank you all for your support. I wish I could let you know how much it means beyond simple words - especially losing 2 pets over 15 years old in 3 months...
    
    My nephew, from what my sis told me, said his goodbyes to her, gave her a hug, then asked for a picture to be placed next to her ashes... god I wish I would have had that kind of wherewithal and emotional strength when I was 5.

    Sorry to hear about them. If theres something that you can do to remember them by such as spreading ashes or just simply keeping a photo, i can tell you it makes it feel tons better.
    
    Our old Yellow lab we had was from a Pacific island called Guam and when she passed, we just so happened to take a vacation trip to guam and so we just spread the ashes in the jungle near some Japanese tank thing.

  Today's fun fact: 200 kg of plutonium can produce approximately 1 liter of helium every single year solely through alpha decay.

    Always been interested in history and I can relate to this...
    One in particular I've always had a great distaste for, mainly because it almost never gets brought up is the atrocities in the Congo Free State by Belgium.

    The history of the Congo, from the Free State all the way to the present, is just damn tragic. It's atrocities were so bad and generated so much outrage when they were exposed that other colonial powers had to pressure Leopold II to curb his excesses.
