I'm just so frustrated.

I had a root canal a month ago. I thought it was successful with no complications. Today I had my permanent crown put in and it doesn't fit. They made it as thin as possible but it's taller than the original tooth and is hitting the upper teeth. They adjusted my bite but it feels wrong. And now when I bite I can feel pressure on the tooth.

Maxed out my insurance, depleted my HSA to save this loving tooth. Should have just had then yank this loving thing out.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


I have had a bunch of crowns and that is not abnormal in my experience. You were missing part or all of the tooth for a while and your bite adjusted. Now it will take time to adjust back. Last one I had done in Jan they had the wrong size and colour a number of times and eventually it went in and felt weird for a while. Only I would say in the last few weeks, 6 months later, does it feel “normal” but I also had two wisdom teeth pulled in March which made things interesting. If it is still crap when your insurance is back next year try somewhere else and see if they can do a better job of making a crown for it.

Depending on the tooth then an implant would be more money and far more invasive. The stake that was drilled into my jaw for the implant took a long time to not feel like poo poo.

The tooth on the opposite side was pulled and I never got an implant. The lain subsided in a week.

I just feel like I'm being punished for something.

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

Welp, verdict is back on wife's Citroen, head gasket is gone, £1200 all in. But that's at least a proper job, head pressure tested, skimmed, timing belt etc. In 20 years of buying cheap cars this is my worst result, not terrible averages I guess.

Also a neighbor came round earlier today, apparently the whole street had their garages broken into last night, loads with padlocks cut off like they were planning to come back. We had a look round as a street and nothings amiss but next door said he's got a set of blink cameras he's not been able to get installed so we cracked out the ladders and drills and got them installed. He just dropped round a 6 of IPA, I'm touched.

Baby shark report.

Baby Shark sleeps more than expected at night. This is good.

Baby Shark had gas last night. This is bad.

Baby Shark laughs when he farts. This is hilarious, even if it's preceded by an hour of bent-over crying/screaming newborn.

Also, I discovered that I can wedge him vertically against the folded part of the futon in the nursery and halfway nap with him there.

Our little girl also has a lot of gas, burps and farts galore. With some screaming. She's eating and sleeping like a champ though! No fart giggles though, that would be extra cute.

The toddler has escalated from not sleeping at daycare nap time to throwing a fit and waking up all the other kids. I had to get him early, bring him home to nap, and explain that no, this wasn't a good thing and we're not going to play outside. Threenager problems are rough. I did get afternoon beer though, so yay me?

The cats have adapted well. The older black cat guards us when we have the baby. The younger blonde cat checks on us but largely waits until the kids are asleep to beg for pets.

There's a ~early '80s car parked a couple blocks over with a "IT'S NOT FOR SALE" sign in the window. It's not terrible, but it's not nice either.

Yeah, went back today and they adjusted it. Feeling better and I can properly close my jaw again. Still sore from having my mouth at max open two days in a row. I'm hoping the worst is behind me.

Edit: the mama cat from our foster group is the only one to not be adopted and she was such a sweetheart. It's breaking my heart that we can't take her. I spent the last two hours messaging every cat lover I know trying to find her a home.

Motortrend are loving idiots and have been saying they are shutting down access from everywhere other than the US and Canada for a while:

From what I can glean it appears to be a rights issue. The production companies that make MToD own content have rights for North America agrees but the rest of the world is either ambiguous and they could not come to an agreement on money or is expiring and the price the production company wanted was too much for Discovery and Warner Media who own MT now so passed on the international rights because the rest of the world is a commie conspiracy.

Either the production companies sell the rights for the rest of the world to Amazon or something or use a VPN to get around the block. Again it is lawyers and money ruining everything.

Yeah. Its always been a mission trying to give them money from outside the US ever since they started. Its like they don't want it.

They just need to give up trying to do their own lovely thing and distribute via amazon/netflix - which seems to work perfectly for plenty of other people.

I don't think VPN's help in this case - they are doing it via the country your account is registered in.

There are even UK shows available via motortrend which makes it even more stupid here.

I had the temp for 2 weeks, the permanent was in for a day and kept hitting my upper teeth in one high spot. I even said it felt wrong when they put it in but the dentist said it would probably take a week to get used to. But the high spot was hitting so much I was worried it would chip my teeth.
