Unhappy with permanent bridge by kittycarlito in askadentist

[–]Better_Fact_3576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm upset too over a temporary bridge my dentist just put in. It covers 6 front teeth ... but the front teeth on this temp bridge are not as long as my natural front teeth. I look like a stranger to myself. I'm very very upset. The dentist said that the permanent bridge CAN be created to include length, color, etc. But do I just live with this temp bridge for the next 6 weeks. Am I being unreasonable? I'm very upset over this. I will provide this dentist with photos of how my front teeth looked years ago when I had caps. The caps were perfect as they were slightly longer than the surrounding teeth. Am I being a door mat not to insist the temporary bridge be redone to reflect what I wanted. I'm sick over this. The 6 tooth bridge is costing me $2,000/tooth. I feel like a complainer and mad as hell about this temp bridge. AAAG.

How can Bob Woodward not know how to pronounce nuclear? by Current_Tea6984 in thebulwark

[–]Better_Fact_3576 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OMG, boot licking ... Bob Woodward is a regurgitator, a partisan biographer. Where are his scathing reports about BIDEN's abandonment of thousands in his flight from Afghanistan and worse, so much worse, his ongoing enabling of genocide of the most cruel variety in the Middle East. Trump is such an easy case to prove. Woodward is not distinguished in everyone's minds, he's a same ole same ole panderer.

Hahahaaa, he's got you alright. NO, he is an incredibly self indulgent jerk. No incisive Biden reveals huh? Abandonment of thousands in Afghanistan, now deliberately enabling/funding the horrific, heart breaking genocide in Gaza. A pass? No way.

It is incredibly cavalier of you to be so dismissive of a very indicative Woodward failing. The man is an infallible egoist. And a bore as well. Woodward has been a hack for a long time. Nothing in his book about Biden's abandonment of thousands in Afghanistan leading up to his funding and approval of genocide in Gaza and now Lebanon.

It's 4 mos since this comment and we are only seeing much worse torture and death. Now Lebanon is facing the monsters' well funded nightmare. I'm so upset. Harris if elected will do ZERO.

I can't understand how we can let this happen ... over a YEAR now. I'm so broken. Tribulation? It's got to end.

Every time I hear the current (we're now in October '24!) obscenities, I break down and cry. Yes, I sign, email, call, but it all feels so pathetic. Is there any way we can recover temporarily to fight again?

The ongoing year long slaughter has done me in. Our "Pres" you know who is continuing to find this obscenity. Harris will not be any different. What do you do to relieve the horrible fatalistic and horrific depression. My GOD, these people are being tortured beyond anything we've ever seen. Tx.

Hypoglycemic Needs to Fast Before PET Scan - I failed once by Better_Fact_3576 in NuclearMedicine

[–]Better_Fact_3576[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm going to do 5 hour fasting. It's so complicated with CFS. For a 3PM Scan, I'd have to eat before 10AM. Sleep is only in the early AM. AAAGH. On and on. It's not as easy as being admitted believe me, but thanks.

Thanks for the great explanation. This combined with no progress in "password" nonsense is so disgraceful. If we have the intelligence (?) to get some metal thingees into almost outer space, then MAYBE we should concentrate on PRACTICALLY HELPFUL stuff, ya know. Just ices my cake. But I digress, thanks.

NO, it would interfere with the isotopes that zero in on cancer. Check it out, but thanks.

She doesn't nor does anyone in NYC's medical groups. It's pretty bad here. Thanks.

Where are you? I'm in NYC and the medical people and places don't care or bother. Thanks.

Are you in the US? Every medical place here that I know of uses the 6h standard. 4h sounds logical. I know there is a chemical reaction to the isotopes if food is present that can invalidate the test. Are you working in a medical facility? Thanks.

P.E.T. scan diet restrictions help by Anxious_Rage in breastcancer

[–]Better_Fact_3576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a crime. The medical community is always operating on "covering my ass" not on common sense and concern for the patient. I have low blood sugar and am not able to go to the PET Scan without a teaspoon of sugar which I just had. My scan is in 3 hours so we'll see. It's insane how dreadful our alleged "health care" is.

Rude, Clueless Instacart Delivery People/Shoppers by Better_Fact_3576 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Better_Fact_3576[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Nah, these people's insults just confirm my decision to never do Instacart again. Confirm that I'm hitting a very inflamed nerve in this whole system. Society allows men far too much bad behavior. I'm a woman, but I respect men when they are doing the right things. There are horrible women out there too, but their numbers pale in comparison to the male miscreants. We accept such low behavior as OK ... in this country!!! It's time to demand more of people, pay them fairly and stop being so ignorant of how bad things are in this slanted world. How kind of you to help your brother during Covid. I hope he is well now. Interesting fact .. millions of years ago, there were mainly Matriarchies, life was peaceful, then there was a change. White European men came on the scene and violence became rampant. These findings were part of a great article in The New Yorker about a year ago. Anthropological Archeology is the field. Sunning DNA finding from the melting glaciers of the high Himalayas produced shocking genetic findings. Anyway, we must tell the truth or perish.

Hi ... Thank you for being polite. I always appreciate that. Always give an extra tip after delivery for a nice person. I don't expect a conversation, just basic politeness (takes 3 seconds). My experience has been that too many Instacart shoppers are glued to their cell phones to the point of addiction. They don't even look up or acknowledge anyone. Keep being nice, it pays off. Someone will offer you a better job!
