What are you doing right now?

[RootDKJ]

Just work up and enjoying some coffee. Had some weird ski dreams again.
Going to hit the shower in a few, meet up with one of my friends at Trader Joes and pick up some of that dirt cheap red wine while I'm there. Then maybe hit the leaves.

I'm in from screwing on some bronze tabs at a bronze memorial park..eating lunch..then uncrating measuring throwing out the wood on another dozen or so granite bases that just arrived. We also got a big freaking sculpture from china..the crate is freaking huge..probably 300 cubic feet..

Nice avatar. I've got a friend who looks just like Sgt Dingle.

LOL..Reno 911 is awesome..

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Got the bathroom lite fixture done after 6 roundtrips from the basement circuit panel to the attic. Ate lunch, digesting, then heading to the gym in about 20 min.

Folded 3 loads of laundry, hung up the jackets, laundry going in washer & dryer, took a shower, ate some lunch... now I should do some homework.

In some offices, WAY more than a trip out West. The highest fee I've heard thrown around for a single crown(cap) is $5000 And that number is being charged currently in a couple of offices (New York City, Los Angeles and Miami) by some self proclaimed "dentist to the stars" who based on his self love of promotion via multiple 2nd and 3rd rate "tabloid dental journals" seems to have never have seen a tooth in his career that isn't in need of either a crown of a veneer. I will though give the guy credit, he's very, very, very smooth at marketing, and could if given a few days to get his sell-rap down could probably sell a few tons of ice to an eskimo

Right now I'm looking out the window in my office watching the very lucrative new speed trap that the town cops just set up today. It's like the cop is going fishing at a fish hatchery with all the "bites" he's getting

When is a cap needed??? Is it when there's an especially bad cavity or mainly from teeth grinding? Most older people I have talked to have had multiple root canals, caps and bridgework but they didn't have as good dental care back in the day..I need to keep wearing my mouth guard everynight to preserve the stumps I have..lol

Loose rule of thumb about when a cap is recommened is if the size of the potential filling is greater than 50% of the visible tooth structure, then from a mechanical standpoint, the cap is going to more durable/long lasting than a filling

I looked it up on google and the cheapest caps are $500..probably in Kentucky or somewhere like that.

Right now I'm cleaning up my desk at work and taking out the trash..I'm also writing up a contract for a customer whose a 4 hour drive away. I sell lots of tombstones through the mail/phone. It's a win win situation..the customers love the convenience and it saves alot of time..

Take it easy.

Just did some MORE laundry. Maybe I should do it more often to keep on top of it... Still haven't washed the dishes. Getting dark already... feeling less motivated. Though i still have 15 lbs of potatoes that I need to start using up... they never last long around here before going green or rotting.
