  • If you are in pain now, you will love it when they are finished with the root canal. I have had six of them over the years, and every time I went from feeling absolutely horrible to 100% in the 1 hour it took them to do the operation.

    The only thing that is not comfortable are the initial numbing shots.

    Make sure they get you good and numb. If you have any doubt as to whether you need another shot, just get another shot.

    After 3 or 4 or 5 shots of numbing agent, you won’t feel a thing.

    Once the numbing wears off you will feel totally fine.

    It’s really not that bad, much better than living with tooth pain.

    Also, ask for a big gloop of topical anesthetic where they are planning to do the injections, it helps a little bit.

    Lastly, ask for 10 milligrams of diazepam if you have someone to drive you. A little benzo to take the edge off goes a super long way and dentists have no problem prescribing it. Have the dentist prescribe it and take it 1 hour before the appointment. I am 200lbs and 10mg does the trick.







  • Walz did a great job, I am super happy.

    I like how Walz chose not to dig into Vance too much, but instead he focused on a return to some sort of a normal functioning government.

    Even some republicans are tired of the war between the left and right, and some of those who publicly identify as trump supporters may secretly vote for Harris simply because they do not want to continue to be at odds with their left wing family members.

    Some republicans might recall a time when they were the patriotic ones, loving their football, their police, and their country. Now the party of trump is being told that football is woke, that the police are weak, and that the country is a shithole.

    I think some of them miss what the Republican party used to be.

    Even if it is just 5 percent of trump voters, Walz did a great job sending the message that it’s time we come together as a country and start making progress where it can be made, rather than feeding into the identity politics game of mud slinging.

    Vance and his ilk wear their atrocious views on their sleeves, we don’t need to waste any time pointing out how terrible they are, we need to instead focus entirely on what we can accomplish together.

    Everyone who is eligible needs to vote this time around, let’s all do our part to make it a landslide.
