Great sunny day here, 24ºC with a warm breeze. It feels like being on November, spring close to summer despite being actually on winter. I'm loving it but I have to do a project so I can't really enjoy it.

For those wondering that's 75 degrees fahrenheit. I'm glad my phone is smart since apparently I'm not....

Re: Off Topic 2011

I had my wisdom teeth out a couple of years ago and it was pretty bad. I also had strep throat and an infection in my gum from one of my teeth, so that was probably why it was so bad.

I got local anesthesia, but they started pulling one of the teeth before it fully kicked in, so that was really painful. After the anesthesia started working though it was fine. The worst part is feeling/hearing the teeth cracking while they pull them. I did have one cut out too. I bled a lot which sucked and was out of it for about 3 days from the combination of pain medication and the meds I was taking for my strep throat.

If I had the choice of being knocked completely out, I would've done that instead.

Maybe I should have said it in F but it's the habit here. Thanks for cellphones that convertions like temperature, height, weight,etc, those thing can be very useful. Thinking that 7 year ago, phones didn't have half of today's utilities. Technology evolves really fast.

No big deal. I should know the conversion since I consider myself a bit of a weather nerd.

I want to stab whoever designed this part of the software directly in the face.

I am so frustrated because there is no way that this duct-taped bull**** statistics tracking should work.

Has anyone had theirs out? Were you knocked out?

Had all 3 of mine out (2 cut, 1 pulled) during semester break my freshman year in college. They gave me this really nasty tasting liquid sedative then nitrous oxide and the next thing I remember was walking up the sidewalk to our front door. Mine weren't too bad since I only had 3 to begin with with one being 99% erupted and the other 2 just below the gumline. Don't remember much pain afterwards either. The main thing that I didn't like was not being able to eat popcorn for 2 weeks.

Oh and...I don't know if you have ever had your lips numb before but be prepared for annoying lips. I didn't have any bleeding, so hopefully yours goes as well as mine did. Pain is not bad at all, only bad thing is those damn stitches and the holes afterwards.

I don't remember my lips being numb (though they probably were), though what I do remember is my chin being totally numb and feeling like rubber to the touch.

I've had 10 teeth pulled in my life (8 at one time). Like Chef said, hearing and slightly feeling (not a painful feeling if they numbed you right) the tooth be cut is the worst part.

I was born without wisdom teeth though, so it could be a little different.

Ouch, why so many? My mom had her wisdom teeth and back molars pulled because her jaw was just to small to accomodate them.

Yikes, that sounds pretty bad. I would think they wouldn't have even operated if you had strep and another infection though. I would've imagined they'd give you a 7-10 day course of powerful antibiotics beforehand to clear out the infecttion first

My permanent teeth weren't coming in fast enough. I needed braces, but they didn't want to put them on my baby teeth, so that was the solution.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I had 4 teeth pulled once.

It wasn't pleasant.

But I got a toy monster truck after, so I was good.

I was 8.

Since the better part of us in here are supporters, I'll ask here and keep it out of the main forum:

How is everyone feeling about an OS supporter community for Madden? It seems to me like that would be a really good way of finding sim-styled games with a fairly decent-sized group of people. It's pretty much the first thing I thought about when this whole community thing was announced.

Just had three of mine pulled a few weeks ago and didn't have any issues. It was much easier than I thought it'd be, and I didn't even get my prescription filled. Just used a little advil.

On a completely unrelated note, moving two people in 100° heat sucks big time.

What kind of anesthesia did you receive?

Re: Off Topic 2011

Just to update you guys on my cousins situation.

The scumbag that attacked my cousin is out on $100,000 bail and is confined to his home. He is using the defense that he is psychologically ill.

The good news is my cousin is recovering from her injuries and is in better spirits.
