Yes, get a second opinion, at least. You're probably too young to get top and bottom dentures... but who knows. Doctors and Dentists are not all-knowing dictators. You'll want to let the Dentist/Oral Surgeon know, from the get go, you intend to keep your teeth as long as possible, and do what it takes to keep them, and mean it.

"Let's remember Pearl Harbor", "never forget 9/11", etc...

Why are we told to not reflect on the past or bad memories since they cannot be changed, but yet are continuously reminded to remember tragedies instead of Miracles and fortunes?

This is subliminal social propaganda designed to subconsciously teach us to associate historical tragedies with memoriams to insto fear and control of the masses.

I don't want to study I probably do need to get something done. I mean the top or fucked up and the bottom are more or less fucked up but I would like to talk to someone else before making any long-term decision. If I have to get them all pulled then I will oh, but I would prefer not to, even if I know it would do a lot of good for my gums and confidence.

Happy Easter Folks!

Thanks, Dead! My grandson had an egg hunt here this morning and then we are off to my daughter's for Easter supper later today. Happy Easter!

I hope DBT is okay.

Why wouldn't they be?

He hasn't been around much since his wife passed away

Fuck...I was not aware of this.

I'm going to guess they're probably not very ok at all.
Losing a long term partner would have to be one of the most horrible things for either side of a couple to go through.

Death.
It's one of those things where nobody really knows how to be.
A system shock that can fuck with your head six ways from Sunday.

With a partner, I just imagine it's so overwhelming...all the things they used to do for you, with you, their "jobs" around the house, the shows you used to watch with them, back seat driving...Losing your best friend and confidant, the person you share and make fun of the world with...So much would change and I can only imagine that even small things would bear such a weight right now.

I don't envy anyone that goes through the death thing, on any level - The sleepless nights, the waking up thinking they're still there, the near hallucinations you have... your other family/friends not sure how to act just the same. Everything routine gets tossed into the air. Everything.

It's life, it's death, and it's shitty that one of our own is going through this.

We're here, man.
I'm here, much as I ever am with my emotional depth of a puddle.
People are thinking of you, even if you're not in a place where you can talk right now.
All the best, wherever you are, DBT.
Take your time. Breathe.
Don't worry too much if a search for normal brings no result...you grow a new one over time.
Friends are here too.
I hope you're moving towards OK, and listen - However you're getting through it, it's the right way.
Make sure you keep eating and drinking, yeah? Take care of you.

- B.

He was still coming around occasionally afterwards, but he also has a child to take care of. I just hope he's doing okay and coping well.

I see. Interesting. Wonder if it's actually fixed...

To Morningriser - I'd kinda add/agree with Bloof, no need to leave, we welcome you back! And no need to take posts on HDC too seriously. Sometimes people are trying to be a dick, like MovieLover (sp), but 90% of the time people are just being misunderstood, or trying to joke around, and I see you take it as an insult way, way more than you should. You should give people the benefit of the doubt, largely because, it's just posts on a forum, these are misconstrued, and just assume the best on top of that, not assume the worse. I mean really, if someone actually insults you on here, which I haven't even seen, except for MovieLover, than so what? Who the fuck are they? Nobody, why would you even care? Fuck em. They don't even deserve a response from you.

I believe I am misunderstood, but I am also a monkey. So that could be part of the problem!🐵

So ... the whole “flinging poo” thing is cool. Just to be clear...

Yeah, but yknow - Only the literal kind

This is clearly not going to end with you, is it?

You're bringing up things that have nothing to do with HDC, bringing outside issues into this place.
You're here also (still) insulting the members.
You're ranting.
I look at this and honestly see a person that needs some counselling, to say the very least - You are carrying on obsessively, and it's just uncomfortable to have to bear witness to, and a dark cloud on this place that's only going to make new members wonder what the fuck they've walked in on, and leave.

I did you the favour of not banning this account in the hope you'd come back and that this wouldn't be a thing...
I made pretty clear last time that if this continued, I'd end it.
I don't feel bad about it, you've been given more chances than a lot of people.

After your last outburst under not just one, but two accounts while posting threatening visitor messages to another member that it frankly just looks like you're just creepily stalking across numerous sites and platforms...you should have been banned from all of your accounts then and there.

That was another chance.
When you say "for no reason", have a think about the last 48 hours.

It's a shame, everyone (moderation included) has told you that you were a part of this place, and that you're capable of contributing in a positive way...but that's all gone. You're just here on the attack/victim cycle.
What do you expect?

I almost wrote you a message pleading with you to just settle down when you got back...and this is your very first post back...I thought maybe if we left it alone, you'd just hit reset and be "normal". I was prepared to drop it.
Though I figured I wouldn't hand hold you through a decision that you should have been able to make on your own.
You didn't.

This isn't for no reason. It's for all of the reasons you've given, and that this post you've just made shows you have zero intention of carrying on here as anything other than negative.

I'm now imposing a ban on sight for you, and any further accounts you open here.
I hope you can find some kind of healthy outlet elsewhere.

That's great bloof! :D

Thanks luvable! Cant take all the credit, lol. Luck was on my side.

Congratulations, Bloof!

Thanks, Sculpt!

That's awesome!!! Wonderful news!!!! ::love::

Thanks, Hammer!

Good job, Bloof. Great news.

Thank-you, Poe!

I honour you.

I know you do, lol. Thanks Cheeb!

Somebody is fond of psychology here? What books or courses on psychology can you advise? I am interested in the checked practice of forgiveness and reconciliation. I heard about ho oponopono meditation. I found joe vitale ho oponopono. It really works? who tried?

Wondering if anyone has similar experience...

Sometimes when I'm asleep I am woken suddenly by the fact that I am choking.

Over time I realised what seemed to be happening is that I am burping up acid.

It comes up, and I guess my first unconscious thing my body does is continues to breahe...and in it goes.

Ever thrown up and it's been super acidic?
That taste is there - Never really any solids though.

It's fucked up, because I'm half asleep and it takes a while for me to actually cough it up and clear my airways.

I sit there on the edge of my bed gasping, trying to breathe IN through the acidic bullshit...between coughing.

There's been more than a few times that I've actually thought I was going to die, because it comes down to...there's liquid sitting where air should go, in my airways.

It's only occasional, but at least once every few weeks.

Acidic foods and eating later in the evening seem to be factors, but not the entirety of them. Sometimes it just happens.

So the last one...wasn't that scary outta 10...but gross. I actually had a glass of water before bed...and that's largely what came up, except this time?
For some reason it came out through my fucking nose.
I basically had to power-sniff/blow my nose til it was cleared.
Painful....and I smelled vomit for the next couple of hours.

I've taken to having some Gaviscon around bed here and there...because yeah, I think in the wrong situation, this could actually kill someone.

Just thought I'd share my "personal hell" situation.

Aging's a bitch

I have certainly had "acid reflux" occasionally and yes, it does get worse with age but nothing like what you are saying and I would think you are still relatively young for this kind of thing. Im sure you are trying all the conventional remedies such as sleeping propped up etc. And the gaviscon is a good idea short term. I would definitely try and make sure i dont eat or drink for at least 2 hours before bed. And get it checked if it doesnt go away. If you were my son thats what i would say.

I have reflux. Doc put me on omeprazole (over-the-counter Prilosec). Take one pill in the morning before you eat anything.

I just get it the odd time, when i overdo things.

Good Afternoon/Evening All....Its very quiet in here today::shocked::

How's it working for ya?

That's good. Some of us have it worse. Basically we have to follow new rules, like not eating after 8pm, especially acidic foods. Putting the head of the bed up 6", maybe moving away from coffee, but might require meds.

Works great. As long as I remember to take it. ::big grin::

Monday dont make me get up
Tuesday i dont give a f^€k
Wednesday Thursday pretty tough
Friday I'm in love!

Could some of our dreams actually be alternate realities that we briefly visit?
