When will this block party be?

Seriously, I was going to have you all come down when we open the store. We could do it early before opening and have a blast. That way we don't invade Katrina's house. This will be the @Katrina71 squad invitation party.

What do you guys think?

Im down!

So, who else uses RODI for their coffee?

Very funny!! I have never had a cup of coffee! But I do use it for my Bone Broth protein drinks!

Thanks. I have never heard of that. She is under the care of a pain management specialist and has a grocery list of drug allergies. I'll tell her, but she is reluctant to try different drugs. We have made a number of trips to the ER from introducing new prescription drugs.

We did some of the early studies for the NIH on Kratom. Be careful especially if she already has other drug allergies and other meds onboard. It works great anecdotally for some but it also has shown more problems than benefits in the double blind placebo controlled labs. Not poo pooing it just giving ya what I know from my lab about it.

No way I would have done that. I think you are really better off having an oral surgeon remove wisdom teeth nowadays. My sister-in-law just had hers removed and a dentist did it. He had a hard time with her and now she may have a damaged trigeminal nerve, which is not good. This just happened and she is still seeing doctors. I had mine cut out and I was out like a light. Went in, got a shot, woke up and it was done.

I was born without wisdom teeth and passed that along to all 6 kids in one form or another.

I am in agreement with your viewpoint. An oral surgeon is certainly the best way to go. However, my case was very straightforward with no complications or concerns.

Here are my wisdom teeth taken out about 15 years ago. It's hard to tell but they are nearly 3/4" long.

This is hugely important. Always be honest with your anesthesiologist. They do not care what you are doing, they just need the correct information to do their jobs.

I was more worried about being reported for all of the nefarious substances in my system. I was still pretty young and didn't know any better.

Two people never to lie to; your doctor and your lawyer.

I have taken it a handful of times. I wasn't aware of anything negative. Thank you for warning Fin!

My Amish patients take their own teeth out!

Hmmm. Maybe we could try that with my next one.

My first reaction is please do not. Then for some reason I picture most of us drunk somewhere pulling your tooth. No better anesthesia, right?

I'm hoping I don't have anymore root canals.

If any of you all run across non-working kessils, let me know please.

I am working on something that I would like to have the fixtures. Don't even need the power supply.

Thanks!
