Call a place in Nogie and ask.

It’ll be a fraction of a Tucson price.

How much should a dental crown cost? (With having decent insurance)

Fucking hell

The last time I got one was in Los Algodones just south of Yuma.
Got the root canal on Friday morning followed by the post work up and mold then got the crown on Saturday.
I paid about $440 for the whole thing of which my insurance company reimbursed me for half.

Man... too late to do the Mexico thing.... let's just say we are paying much much more and its taking 1 month...

Recently my dad was getting a bunch of crowns and implants and other stuff quoted in nogales and it was only maybe 20% cheaper than the US

Dude at my former employer got hired for top job at $215,000 a year. (The job was posted from $160,000-$185,000). No college degree. Worse, he put on his resume that he did have a college degree. When it was found out, the Board of Directors by one vote says it doesn't matter because the authority wasn't there to check whether he had a degree or not. Absolute corruption.

Total corruption… but I’m going to start listing a fake PhD on my resume.

Just forked over a bunch of money for a new heat pump. We were hoping to keep the old one alive for another year or two. Oh well.

Bought a used 2021 Range Rover in June after my wife's 270k mile car finally sailed over the rainbow. Engine already crapped out and has to be entirely replaced.

Flight disruption last night. Stuck in LA overnight for a reschedule. Grrr ..... and the KKKat troll-by. I'm one grumpy motherfucker right now. Oh, and weather delays in Queenstown: it's snowing there. FML

We’re living in a world crafted by Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Hamas, MBS, MBZ, Orbán, Erdogan, Kim Jong Un, Jim Jordan, Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Hezbollah, Charlie Kirk, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Ali Khameini, QAnonists, Don Jr., Mike Johnson, Houthi militants, Assad, el-Sisi...

Things are looking really bleak to me today!

Reminds me of the world in the 1930's, outside of a major depression. Thanks Brandon for Bidenmonics.

Also missing the great escapist movies of that era.

Covid is not fun

I finally got it

[UAEebs86]

Get well soon Ari. You're now in first place in Coronavirus League.

[EastCoastCat]

Sorry to hear AL. Hope you feel better soon.

So strange and lucky that I’ve yet to get Covid.

[Chicat]

I never got it either. Some of us were just built of sturdier stuff I guess.

[Merkin]

Stay well Ari!

My wife and I, and my son now home who goes to college, have all been Covid free.

Famous last words.

But if I do get it, I have been vaxxed so many times I ran out of room on my Covid card and they put correcto-tape on it for the last dosage.

So hopefully symptoms will be minor if I do get it which is the whole purpose of the vaccine.

[azgreg]

Get well buddy!

It must be the shit we put in our systems that tell Covid to fuck off.

[ASUHATER!]

I still don't know if I've had it. I've been pretty sick like twice in the last year but I never tested positive

[Alieberman]

I think I may just keep re-watching the AZ Duke game… this is the best I’ve felt in 3 days!

Bear the fuck down Ari. If we can beat Dook in Cameron you can manage Covid standing on your head.

Me too! Sports are best for distraction from real life while still offering some intensity. And, I’m really needing that nowadays…

[dovecanyoncat]

Fully vaxed and with the flu shot to boot ..... I come home and promptly get the crud. Gotta be from all these old fart snowbirds. Thanks America.

[CalStateTempe]

Kids put dirt in the sink.

Why? I don’t know.

When? “We can’t remember daddy.”

300hundo later I have a new trap and the drain flies are gone.

Once again Dove you win the vulgar TMI award. If there were a draft you’d be a #1 pick.

Three words: FISHERMAN'S FRIENDS ORIGINAL

Works wonders for me. Strong eucalyptus flavor clears up the ol' snot canals and sooths the throat.

Assuming you can find them at a location near you of course, YMMV.

[dovecanyoncat]

Dragging a net through the snot canal to clean out the calamari sounds like a good plan.

I had a room mate did that. He picked it up from a 1920era Yoga book. Passed the string thru one nostril and out the mouth, then repeat with the other nostril.

Its called "neti"

My ENT guy is having me do it with saline solution. Much more managable. Kits are available at pharmacies. Brand name in Oz is 'Flow'

Hence the netipot. Been thinking about getting one. How much is it worth to test one's gag reflex?

[RichardCranium]

I need to clarify that the 'Flo' device (dunno is that the same as the netipot?) you squirt it into one nostril and it drains out the other nostril... nothing to gag about it doesn't go down the throat or into the mouth (or shouldn't anyway).

Edit: yeah, basically the same thing

A Netipot looks like a little teapot. You can buy little packets at the drugstore but I just use salt for the same effect. To try it, you can use a little cup of salt water. Bend at the waist, turn your head to the side, mix/dissolve your salt (~ 1/8th teaspoon) and warm water (~1 cup), and pour water into one nostril and let it drain out the other. The Netipot just gives better control. And, you can plug the draining nostril to let your sinuses fill for a bit before draining. Then blow your nose and the gunk should be dislodged and should come out. You can do it multiple times if necessary. In the end, you're just irrigating the sinuses but it can bring real relief during allergy season or if you've been working in the yard.

Had surgery for my deviated septum yesterday morning. It's a bitch. My wife is also newly pregnant with our second and is super sick. We're not on our A game over here.

[dovecanyoncat]

It sucks, but not being so young anymore has its demands. You and Mrs. Scum are on top of the world: one beautiful daughter with another child on the way. You lucky dog, you earned it.

Yeah on the 2nd pregancy! Boo on the sick part.

And about the deviated septum... did you have a Septoplasty?

I had 1 several years ago.

The good news... I can breath completely through my nose again and I don't snore anymore.

The bad news... the surgery wasn't the painful part... getting the giant packing tampons removed from both of your nostrils.... is fucking horrible.

[scumdevils86]

I have these giant splints in my nose but no.packing and lots of sutures. Apparently the ENT said he is convinced id broken my nose at least twice but that's news to me. He had to clean out a lot of scar tissue that had started turning to bone I guess. Said it was really bad up there.

[azgreg]

Get well buddy.

[Chicat]

My dumbfuck father-in-law just ruined our Christmas.

Last week he started to feel sick. Then he learned that his elderly mother who he had just visited tested positive for Covid.

Did he get tested? Hell no! It’s just a cold!

Did he verbally abuse anyone who suggested he get tested? Hell yes! It’s just a goddamn cold!!!

Did he insist on picking up my sister-in-law from the airport? Of course!!! ITS JUST A FUCKING COLD!!!!!



The asshole has Covid and passed it to his wife and probably to his daughter and her husband who are supposed to travel to Tucson to see his mother who is battling cancer.

Now my sister and my nieces can’t come to Christmas and I want to hit that man in the head with a ball peen hammer.

BUT ITS JUST A DAMN COLD!

All he had to do was take a fucking test. Now we are all waiting to see if we get it.

I hate that fucker…. Did I tell you all how he got disinvited from going with us to the Purdue game even though he’s a Purdue alum and we had planned to go ever since the game was announced?

[wyo-cat]

Nickles worth of free advice. Go with a baseball bat and jab him with the end of it until he goes down. THEN start swinging.

It’s harder to block the jab than the swing. Also, one can avoid the assault with a deadly weapon charge that a ball peen would most likely bring.

[Chicat]

If its too hard to stick a qtip in your nose for 5 seconds for the safety of the loved ones around you... you pretty much are a piece of shit.

Sorry Chi- that sucks and your family deserves better

After he finally took a test the Positive line was a little faint. He then proceeded to scream in my MIL’s face that she didn’t know how to read the test and that he was fine. He then said…

“I’m going to Urgent Care and when they test me and I come back negative, I’m going to RAIL on ALL OF YOU!!!”

That’s a direct quote.

30 minutes later he called from Urgent Care to say that he was positive and pretty please could someone go pick up his Paxlovid prescription.

I hope that fucker stays sick. Quarantine forever buddy. Don’t need to be around an abusive fuck like you.

I'm really sorry about this... based on what you have shared in the past... this isn't shocking behavior.

I'm sure this is an awful position for your wife to be in. Hope it doesn't cause any extra strain within your family

It’s not shocking, and it’s been hell on my wife. Family is the most important thing to her, and this was to be our first holiday with my brand new baby niece Bri who was born on the 12th. She’s fairly devastated, but mostly just wants to murder her father.

Plus I can stay out of the Covid zone if I don’t have to do any close in work on his big dumb head. Appreciate the advice!
