There's a restaurant that I frequent which, during Covid, left up their Christmas trees and decorated them for each successive holiday...so for almost two years, the Christmas tree turned into a Valentines tree, a St Patricks Day tree (it's an Irish pub/restaurant!), an Easter tree, etc. etc.

They finally took it down after Easter 2022.

Wayfair, you’ve got just what I need.

The one in the RV is smaller, but also from Wayfair.

I only have one colour palette. If you’re into anything that isn’t teal, blue, teal-blue or teal-green, you’re out of luck. 😂

I'll bet that there is a psychological syndrome for the lack of colo(u)r on your pallet. Probably connected to the add an unnecessary letter to a multitude of words problem. I had a girlfriend about a decade after my divorce that had every single room in her house painted sky blue. That fired off a lot of danger alerts in my brain. Besides that she hated Disney Parks. During the time I have known her she has bought 4 new houses (Started in Portland, Ma. then moved to Manchester, NH and then to Essex Jct., Vt. and recently to Colchester, Vt.) and then spent thousands to have every room in every house painted that same color. (Twilight Zone music playing in the background):eek:

@JenniferS , what's the update on the tooth? Any progress?

Yes, I went to see the specialist yesterday. Looks like it’s not the 4-6 after all, but the 4-7 next door (lower right back molar), based upon the regular x-rays my dentist had taken.

That tooth has also been treated with a root canal in the past, so the specialist took a 3-D scan which will be sent to a dental radiologist. Results take 15-18 business days. $163 to walk in the door … $260 for the 3D scan, for a total of $443 to say “Come back December 13th to discuss a treatment plan”.

In the meantime - ice and Tylenol. (Gee, I wish I’d thought of that.)

Also, thank you for asking. 🙂

I read your post I've quoted here....read it awhile ago.... and I couldn't think of what to say.
I've come back and read it again and I guess what I'll say is: Your specialist visit seemed mostly frustrating.
For example: "Results take 15 to 18 business days". Come on! Wait until Dec. 13th!? :oops:
All that money and no actual help. :(
The only positive aspect of your report was that @MinnieM123 was kind to ask about you. I'm sure you wish you could post something more upbeat....but the truth is the truth. The cliche: "It is what it is" applies here.
Wishing you well!

I’ll live. Tylenol is plentiful and ice is free.
It is indeed, what it is.

I could have paid $25 to expedite the results. And by expedite, I mean 12-15 days vs 15-18 days. Oy.

That's a long time to continue to wait, although I know you've chosen the solution that works best for you. I understand you don't want to have it pulled, as there are pros and cons to all methods of treatment. (I wouldn't have lasted this long, but that's just me.) Wishing you well.

I don't remember if I told you folks about my, embarrassingly minor when compared to the above, dental history. First of all I was blessed with very strong enamel, they told me. That said, about 40 years ago I bit into a McD's Quarter Pounder and one of my molars took a direct hit on a small brass bolt the had found it's way into the patty. It caused a minor crack in the surface that my dentist repaired with some form of resin that was set with the use of a blacklight type thing. Seems odd, but it lasted for over 20 years with no problems. Then one day I took a drink of something cold and discovered that the fix had finally failed.

By that time, the original dentist had either retired or just moved to Australia (don't remember which) and my new dentist determined that a root canal wasn't necessary but that a cap/crown was necessary. For those that don't know... for years they were called caps but that didn't sound expensive enough so the name changed to crown where they could subsequently charge royal amounts of money for one. But I digress! That lasted for about seven years until an abscess developed under that royal crown and the tooth (or what was left of it) was removed. They then generously offered to do a dental implant. Since it was about $1500.00 for one of those and it was in a place where it didn't show plus I still had all the rest of my teeth I wisely decided against it.

Jump ahead less then a year and I was working part time driving shuttle bus for Enterprise car rental at the Raleigh/Durham International Airport. I had brought a couple of granola bars for snacks during my 8 hour shift. Biting into one I heard a weird cracking sound that I just figured was something crispy. As the evening wore on the molar on the direct opposite side of my mouth started to hurt. After a night of pain I went to my dentist and when she looked at it, she discovered that the tooth had split from front to back into two pieces like if you were splitting wood. It was dead on arrival and was immediately pulled out and no dental implant even though they tried to convince me that my teeth will now be free to move around in my mouth. So far they have stayed relatively motionless.

So to make a long story longer, after my 74 years of dental ownership my record is as follows. Two cavities (allegedly) when I was in the service. Every dentist I have seen since then has agreed that although treated like a cavity it was more likely a military training mission for a new dentist. Then a few years later another actual cavity caused by one of those first fillings was rubbing against the tooth in front of it. That leaves me with two empty spots that teeth once occupied and four impacted wisdom teeth removed when I was in my late 20's. Although the history is somewhat strange over all, I have been lucky and problems have been few and far between.

As a side note, both of my daughters. now in their late forties, have had only had one cavity, collectively. Not a word of thanks to me for passing along the good fortune. Ingrates! 😞

My mom had very poor prenatal nutrition. She was 17. Also, she grew up in England right after the war, where you couldn’t buy a fruit or vegetable for love nor money.

My dad, on the other hand, had fabulous teeth.

Their genes averaged out in me. My teeth are probably on par with my contemporaries; only difference being that I’ve always spent the required dough to avoid having anything pulled.

That may change with this one.

I'm not sure where my luck came from... My mother passed at 86 years old and still had all her teeth, still shiny white but they were basically shells that held the fillings in. And one fake one. She brushed them constantly to the point of obsession. If you looked up the word vanity in the dictionary her picture was there. My father on the other hand had terrible teeth and had them all removed and replaced by dentures in his forties. So where mine came from is anybody's guess.

I was born in upper, upper New York State and lived my first 14 years there. They had fluoride added to the water there. I'm sure that helped. Quite a few years after we had moved to Vermont, in fact it was after I was married, I had switched dentists and the first thing the dentist said when he did the exam was... "you aren't from around here are you"! Many Vermonters seemed to have terrible teeth at a very young age.
