Remember when I said that with two hook ups and two comps it would take a tornado to kick me off the net? Well, I was wrong. What it takes is two competing routers. Yeah. Seems my routers don't like each other so they fight over who gets to provide service. These bitches are driving me insane. After a day of two spotty services and shutting off and unplugging modems and crazy ass complicated instructions, both services quit.
You'd think it would be as simple as just shutting off the wireless feature for the wired service, right? Ohhhhh, no. This media-com cunt had me at it all day. When I finally adjusted enough goddamn settings for the wireless to get service, I had to use the laptop to try and fix the desk top and it isn't happening. I have been to every tech webpage on the fucking net and I'm still on the wireless. I HATE COMPUTERS. This laptop is fast as hail, but, hard to blog on. I need help, but, the problem is, I don't know which company to call. Anyone else ever have this problem?
Sigh, so this is an open post. If anyone can help me with these bitch hook ups, cool, but, at least I can read what all you guys are up to. I have an appointment at a pain clinic today. I have to drive to the fucking city for it, so I should be hurting good by the time I get there. Sitting in a car that long makes me all crippled up. Not to mention, I HATE driving in the city now and taking my old junky car that far is a stressful thing. Thanks, new doctor. Bitch. Anyone know anything about pain clinics? What horrible torture do I have to look foreward to today?
Since I'm just whining like a little bitch today, I might as well add, that I chipped a tooth to a razor sharp edge and it's caused a wound on my tongue and my fucking tongue looks like a swollen brick. The good news is, I can now play Back To Black and sound just like Amy Winehouse because you can't understand a fucking word I say. I wonder if that was her problem? Check out THIS Amy unplugged version that I used to learn it. It's simplicity is deceptive. Amy was a hell of a song writer. It was such a challenge and SO much fun to learn to do. I may video my version before I get this tooth fixed. I can definitely feel her pain...in my mouth anyway.
It's always something, isn't it? I would give everything I own for two solid days of no kids, no family, no appointments and no phone. Oh, I do have one bit of good news. The roof is finally done on the new old house and we're starting on the bathroom! So, what's up?
PS..is there any product or homemade remedy I can use to cover this sharp tooth before I can get it fixed? I tried gum, that doesn't work.

For your tooth, take a fine grit of sandpaper, or a nail file and very gently buff the part that is cutting your tongue. Always remove as little of the tooth as possible, just till you feel sure it will not cut your tongue up more.
It is just a little fix till you get to the dentist but will save your tongue from turning into hamburger lol...good luck

I tried your hint, but, it's in a weird spot and I can't get in there. Thanks though. My tongue IS hamburger. It only hurts when I talk though.
Man, I hate those types of days, although for me, it usually ends up being those types of weeks.
The internet stuff is maddening and I'm sorry I don't have any technical solution for you. I just switched providers myself and have my fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly.
My father in law went to the pain clinic in Iowa City years ago, but as I recall, he didn't think it was helpful to his situation. He ended up having surgery, I believe. Is this a nerve pain or a muscular/skeletal pain? Any pain, experienced long enough, is harder on people mentally than anything, I think.
Annette's solution for the tooth seems sound, as long as you're careful. The last time I was at the dentist, he said one of my teeth "looked" longer than the other, so he filed it down and it was just a hopped up sander. Same principle, I would think.
Annette, hold up! I tried an orange stick, I cut it just right and it worked! No more mumble mouth..when it heals. You saved me days of pain. Thank you!!!
What about a small piece of cork? If it's a back tooth, could you just chomp down on cork and hold it there?
Angie it's been a week of hell here.This kid keeps me hoppin. She has three kids staying in this two room house all weekend and they trashed it good. Gross stuff too. Like I had to ask which kid peed in the cats litter box. WTF. One kid I had for days because his mom wouldn't come for days. They are loud and act like animals. My head hurts.
Pain clinic..I have neuro head pain, a defomed back that's severe, diabeties pain in my feet, arthuritis, and surgical pain. Also kidney stones still. Also seizures and spasms.
Holy shit, Pat. How are you not knocking those little asshole's heads together? I'm all for socializing the kids, but when it starts affecting your health, it's time kick them to the curb. Sounds like the parents are using you for free daycare. Thank god for school.
I think so too, Parents love free babysitters, especially when they know the kids love it.
Glad the tooth doesn't cut up your tongue anymore. Sometimes people try a wad of sugarless gum, you have to do what you have to do lol....
How is the new house doing? I have tons of nice new toothbrushes and gadgets for your new bathroom from dental companies if you wish. Just send me your addy on fb, I have some neat little packages for voyages,always handy if your going somewhere unexpected, or have a visit who forgot theirs.

Just had a thought, Have you ever tried Chag tea or extract? I herd it was very good for aches and pains, but takes about three months to work......check google, chaga, its a mushroom fungas that grows on birch trees.

I've been to two pain clinics. One burned the nerve endings in my lower back and another said I had one hip lower than the other. He gave me a built up shoe. I also have a slipped disc (C2) that I didn't want to have surgery on. I was sent to physical therapy. Basically, there has been no long term relief. I hope it works for you.
Emergency Essentials has an item called Dentemp for $3.50, which you can use to make temporary fillings. You actually can eat with it in use. I have a couple of packages stored, "just in case". Not that I know where they are, now. I don't know if there is a survival-type store around where you could find something like this. I know they can't be the only ones who carry this item.
I am glad that you were able to file it down a little. It's terrible catching your tongue on a sharp edge all the time.
How weird that one of the kids used the cat box. That seems crazy. It's also bizarre that their parents just left them at your house. I just don't understand that. Four kids is a lot to handle for that period of time. They really have a lot of nerve.
Good luck with the pain clinic. I have absolutely no experience with them, and haven't even heard anything reliable, but would love to hear what you experience.

Probably just have the one hook up and get a wireless USB adapter for the desktop.
I screwed up a computer by just trying to change it from AOL to Google. I really shouldn't admit I'm that stupid, but I am!
What Melvin said....it works great for us.

PS: I guarantee the girls were using the bathroom, the boy just said Heck with it and took aim in the cat box.
We have to turn our router off when it plays up, wait a few minutes then on again, seems to work. Sometimes when I'm impatient I just rip the plug in and out, no patient waiting a few minutes. Computers are the new Evil! I swear.
Reading the suggestions of filing your tooth gave me chills.
I had my check up today and got to hear the baby's heartbeat. I've been so worried that they weren't going to find it, until the other night when I had a dream about nursing a little baby girl. It put me at ease. Hopefully by Thanksgiving I will know what I am having.
Glad you got your tooth filed down.
Michael had same problem with a tooth. Ripped his mouth so bad he went straight to dentist. His whole mouth swelled up. Hope the ride to the pain clinic works out. Don't know what to say about all those kids. When I had foster teenagers my place became favorite hangout joint. Rich parents built their kids an apartment in the backyard, but they still came to my place. If I could do it over, I would have put my foot down. They gravitate towards places where the least amount of rules apply. Other parents had long lists of 'dont's' even 'turn off lights' notes taped to walls. Kids stay away from places like that. Lol.
Jinxed. Came home to no cable and no internet. They will be here Friday to fix, so I'll need to take off work again. Mediacom officially sucks.
Likely you are being refered to pain clinic because your doc in Guntown won't prescribe the hydro's anymore due to the new law. You will hate the pain clinic. They treat you like an addict to get your medication and be prepared to piss in a cup each visit. No fooling these guys. They are concerned you are selling it or taking it wrong. So the exact amount of opiate must be in your urine each time. Plus they will try putting needles in you and you will know a new pain. Pain injections are temporary and have many risks.
I got to a pain management clinic . I love my dr.. In feb they put a nurostimulator in my back . My pain al ost gone. I went from 120mg of morphine a day to 50 mg eveey 2 to 3 days because of my neck . I hope you find help

Angie, one of the girls was invited, the other two scammed me. I can take a day of it, but, this was too much. I got grouchy, they don't care.
Annette, I'll hit you on FB and I will look up that tea, thanks.
Jane, OMG, how do they burn the nerve endings!???
Christina thanks for that info. The one kid that wasn't invited and was left for days is the child of that pit bull dude. I like the kid, but, man, it's too much sometimes. His parents are just weird and just like, dump him.
Melvin and Rox, but, I really like having two hook ups and the wireless is soooo cheap, it's almost free. I love it. I'd keep it over the wired any day, but, I want both. Have to have the media-com for Tuwella's TV anyhow. So, that one I only pay half on. Having two has already come in handy. And I think I finally fixed the routers.
Anon, the cat box is IN the bathroom, I think it was Lissa and she did it on a bet or to be funny. She's gross. I told her if it ever happened again, I'd give the cat away. I won't because the cat is secretly mine, but, she believes me.
Lia, that unplugging thing DOES help. Thanks.
Theresa, YAY! Baby's heartbeat is so cool. I want to know what it is too! ALl of us do. Let us know.
Angie, so sorry, but, that happens here a lot. I love the wireless.
JB, you know nothing. That's not what happened at all. Actually, nothing happened, I am scheduled for another MRI up there. I was sent there for mini siezures. My meds remain the same. DOH.
Karen, thank you. That was a good thing to hear. Actually, I have two more visits scheduled. It was an okay visit.
The nerve end burning isn't bad. You're relaxed (nicely so), face down, and the areas are deadened. I think they use a type of x-ray and needles. It's not bad and like I said, you're very relaxed. My back itched a little when the feeling came back. But for all the trouble I had to go through to get it done, (I had to find someone to drive me and someone to stay with Michael when everyone I knew was working) I can't say it helped all that much. And it's not permanent.
The places I went to were pain management clinics. The idea is to do anything you can not to have to take pain meds because of addiction. Between the back, the neck, the hips, and the fibro, I think the docs believe I would be living my life in a haze. Now, I don't think that would be so bad----just sit there with a big ass smile on my face. IN A HAZE! Maybe a purple haze!
