I deleted my posts in here but super fail by me last year.
This year though I have 3 I can think of right now and they are all ez:
- Take Better Care of my teeth, i had to have an emergency root canal yesterday, that sucked. Easily corrected.
- No More Facebook. Iām not going to delete account cuz i plan to use the messenger with my kids, but Iām done going to the page and looking at fucko right wing assholes just to build some rage or troll them.
- Focus on being a better father, son, and brother.
edit: i didnt ever troll facebook, i just shot down their shitty posts was all but Iām done doing that and getting infuriated and just seeing the shitty people that I know post there.

Can you give some insight on your root canal? I have one scheduled in 10 days and am pretty nervous. Itās a double and theyve scheduled 4 hours
ha i was actually telling some friends yesterday its a piece of cake in my opinion. I had one when i was like 20??? maybe and then the one yesterday. The one yesterday took like 15 mins legit and ez pz no pain or discomfort really. I remember similar thing when I had the first one. They do put like a dental dam type piece of plastic over your mouth that exposes like just the tooth they are working on but its no big.
I gotta go get a crown put in like a week on it, so if theyāre doing that shit too at the same time for you that might be why its longer. I feel like it took longer when I had the first one but neither one was bad at all, when people make out root canals to be really bad experiences and i guess its possible but as long as youāre numb no problem. As far as discomfort and shit Iād rather have a root canal then a normal cleaning where they scrape at your teeth and gums for half an hour.
I think one of the big problems is that itās my molars which I know take longer. I guess my former dentist really fucked up a couple fillings and now Iām left holding the bag for the price of the fix.
Bullshit if you ask me.
Need a filling and/or root canal. I cancelled my December appointment because I got dental insurance through the marketplace (I know it is a scam mostly but it will benefit me atm) and my dentist sent me a letter telling me to fuck off and find a new one for cancelling lmao.
Also Iām super nervous about being 4 hours without a mask with a team of people inches from my face without a mask in the time of super covid.
mine was a molar too i believe lol. I wouldnāt worry about it, if dentist knows what heās doing it should be fine. It only cost me $98 yesterday actually, not sure but that seems really good. I didnāt pay for the first one Iām sure my parents did at the time, although the Crown is going to cost me like 500 i think somehow from the quote they showed me.
Whole story from yesterday:
It actually started hurting me on like Wed and I was like eh maybe itāll go away lol, by thursday i was like fuck i canāt go through the weekend with this shit. I called my dentist and of course they were closed on NYE and evidently they were closed the day before too so lol me anyways, luckily their voicemail had the number of a different place for emergencies and it was more like an urgent care type place i guess downtown but seems they do normal scheduled cleanings as well. It was downtown which is like 20 mins but I was def going. When i left my phone was on like 5% and Iām like meh its fine Iām in a hurry and wonāt really need my phone.
Well I get there and realize I donāt have any dental insurance info and the lady at counter doesnāt seem real helpful like Iām like I dont have a card and sheās like yea we going to need something. Well fuck me I text my wife and she is going to send me a pic of the card and right as its coming through my phone dies. hilarious, Iām 20-25 mins from the house, no way to charge phone cuz my car outlet is fucked and Iāve been too lazy to see about getting it fixed. fuck me, its 10am and lady said they stop taking emergencies at 11am so i have an hour and iām 20 mins away. I end up going by my inlaws on the chance they are even though with getting divorced it might be awkward well fuck me they arent there anyways so i just head home, flying down there to be able to be back by 11. I get back at like 10:50 and no problems from there, and actually super cheap it seems, i was expecting to get fucked.
They took xrays and doc showed me a massive cavity in the tooth and he was like we will bring you a price sheet but you should try to save the tooth cuz its in good shape otherwise and so I was like of course lets save that shit lets go i need this shit fixed today. Hygienist brought the price sheet and it was like 700 total for crown and root canal but as i said only like 100 for the canal, only like 25 bucks if I just wanted the tooth extracted, but i was like yea fuck it lets go fix this shit.
edit: yea i was worried about the mask thing but fuck it man i was in pain and needed it fixed, not like you can wait on that really even in your case I assume
Buy the flossers on little sticks. Floss once per day.
Pro tip.

Telegram maybe? Facebook is evil and they rely on these hooks to keep you in. Your kids need to get out of the FB ecosystem as well so pushing them into an alternative is what a good parent should be doing anyway 
Are you going to have to join Parler for your brother? 
Yea i can probably figure something out, I havenāt really looked into it, thats just what my wife setup a few weeks ago with them.
Def wonāt be joining Parler.
I was reminded about what a failure I am because I just got a like on this old post. Thanks @MichaelDavis!
Ok, letās roll that one again for 2021.

It depends how old the fillings are, but they are really not expected to last forever. Unless my dentist is lying to me!
I get it, but I only had it for like 2.5 years.
For what I paid for my fillings it seems unacceptable
Oh yeah lol 2.5 years. Mine didnāt start failing for over 30 years in some cases.
Nailed it!

Bumping this for 2023 resolutions.
My big one this year is to tackle a book that Iāve owned forever, but have never been sufficiently motivated to actually start it. Itās the stereotypical book that legions have on their bookshelves, but no one has read. So much so that thereās a satirical column instructing people on how to read it.
In 2023, Iām finally going to read Infinite Jest.

In 2023 I will finally finish a project or book or something. Maybe just close some browser tabs though.
Bump. Iām trying to think of some things I want to do next year and realized this group doesnāt seem too interested in yearly goal setting.
Howād you two do?
