Angelo Voltura Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Soft 8's look good too, Angelo! What kind of tires do you have on them? Hard to tell on my phone... They are wrapped in 315/75/16 Cooper STT Pros! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 RIGHT NOW I need something like antibiotics. Since it would cost a minimum of $300 to see a doctor, and $Xxx to get the prescription filled, I'm going down to the fish store (aquarium supply) and get some there. $20 v/s $120... You live on the street long enough, you figure these things out. As a Canadian, obviously I'm used to our "free" Healthcare. It has it's pros and cons. Just remember, like anything else, you get what you pay for.. As a young fella, I always thought it was the best thing in the world...but then again, I didn't need to use it either. Antibiotics are getting tough to get too. You have to really prove that you're suffering. BTDT. Hope you get it fixed up soon. That sh!t is no fun.

Sure sucks for sure, I've been battling strep and pneumonia for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I have a nasty tooth ache and no socialized medicine in this country Ha! Well, I can tell you that the socialized medical system in Canada would do nothing for your toothache, and even if they did, they'd probably schedule an appointment for a specialist to have a look at for you in 2023. Our national healthcare system doesn't cover dental. We have to pay out of pocket for that, or pay for a medical plan through work, which isn't cheap. I pay about $3500/yr for mine. It covers all of the other stuff that our healthcare doesn't....and even then, it only covers the basics. If you need something like a crown, you're paying for it out of pocket. I read things like this and am very grateful that I retired from a major defense contractor. They pay almost all of my and my wife's annual premiums for our Medicare supplement. As far as "free" healthcare, I need to look no further than or VA system. Veterans have died waiting for appointments, there was even one who died in the waiting room. Worst part, it varies wildly from one VA center to another. My daughter, who had managed at one point to "game the wellfare system", said to me one day "Medicare is free like Medicaid" I straightened her out on that, as I have been paying into it since LBJ started it and still have it taken out of my Social Security check.

Ray Cecil Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Sure sucks for sure, I've been battling strep and pneumonia for a month. All, setting aside the possible brushfire discussion about politics, Id like to give some advice....for teeth... By far, the best thing you can do for your body, and your teeth.....1 meal a day 90% meat, 10% veg. I know, everyone has an opinion and preference for diets. However, tooth rot, tooth embrittlement are STRONGLY linked to poor diet. Ive experimented with going 100% carnivore. The FIRST thing I noticed was an improvement in the health of my teeth. They didnt get plaque, my breath didnt smell, the little aches I would occasionally get disappeared, and they felt glossy. The enamel started to rebuild. Sources for Carnivore diets: Joe Rogan, Dr. Shawn Baker. And google. If you are dealing with health issues, nervous system disorders, try carnivore for 30 days. Fatty cuts of meat, eggs, liver, real grass fed butter occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got something jammed in there and it's too inflamed for me to dig it out. My teeth are incredibly good for someone who was never able to see a dentist as a kid. I've had to have my wisdom teeth pulled because the roots were too big, but other than a cavity where I chipped a tooth opening a bottle of beer as a teenager they are solid.

ArdWrknTrk Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Jim, I gotta pocket knife and some whiskey....just sayin. Thanks Ray! That's where I'm at, and I'll be ok. At least I have a whole assortment of dental picks, and some 'shine to sterilize them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be careful Jim. Ive heard of people getting infections in their mouths and it kills them. Something about the blood path from the mouth to the heart. The infection has a high risk of entering your heart and causing heart failure. That is what a heart doc told me once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could travel up a nerve into your brain. Or your immune system might kick into overdrive and cause sepsis. Any way, I'm dead and it's not my problem anymore.
