    I’m supposed to come off the meds in a few days, but if I start hurting again then I’ll have to go back on them in spurts until these little ‘you know whats’ as I call them come out!

    Yeah I was warned about the possibility of some nerve damage or irritation to the nerves in my face.  Been told the teeth on the bottom are going to be the worst to…[Read more]

    Lola replied to the topic How many hours do you spend at LiteracyBase daily? in the forum Group logo of NewBiesNewBies 8 years, 5 months ago

    I’m not spending too much of my day here for sure.  I spend maybe and hour or so.  Today I’m spending more because I’m babysitting and the kids are amusing themselves (they are 10 and 12).  I would think 7-12 hours is too much but who am I to judge?  If being here isn’t disrupting a person’s life then they can be on here as long as they want to be.

    I’m hoping not to have to put it off past Sept 10th as I’m in quite a bit of pain from these darn teeth 🙁  The dentist has me on strong anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxers right now.

    @rapidblue

    Thanks for the timeframe.  I know that for 7 days I’m going to have stitches in so certainly no events in that time.  I’d prefer to give myself 14 days as I’ve been told I will look like a chipmunk, and not a cute chipmunk from the swelling.

    Thanks for the advice.

    I found out my surgery consult will be July 14, so surgery could certainly be a issue in early Sept.  I decided I will certainly talk to my cousin privately about what is going on and let her know I plan to be at her wedding but something might interfere.

    I am making myself a wreck over this yet to be planned upcoming surgery to have my impacted wisdom teeth out. All weekend I was fighting anxiety, so badly so that yesterday I woke up with my jaw locked shut. This […]

    • Oh my goodness, why do you have to worry till you suffer so much pain?
      I think you just focus on the days ahead.
      Just think about a week after the removal of wisdom tooth, and you are eating your favorite steak or ice cream or whatever else you like to eat.

    • Talk about dental fears you are not alone. I have always battled with this feelings and it scares me all the time. It has never been easy for me to get through any dental problem, but when you think about the pain and discomfort that it’s giving you that will motivate you so much that you will want to just take yourself to him dental clinic and have the distirbingbtooth removed. So far I think that is what has taken away the terrifying feeling of having to go to him dentist. So just think of the pain and the relief that you will have after the removal you will be just fine. Don’t focus your thoughts on The D day just think about the relief it will give you.

    • This is terrible to undergo a dental surgery due to an impacted wisdom tooth. I don’t know if I could resist my fear when regards to this surgery. In an ordinary tooth extraction I already have a great fear. I remember when I was a kid I complained to my parents that I had a toothache. I kept on crying at night which had disturbed their night sleep. In the morning I was brought by my late father to the dentist for a check up. The dentist examined my tooth and scheduled my tooth extraction for three days until my swollen tooth would get back to normal.

      I took the medicine. It seemed that my toothache didn’t bother me anymore. I could sleep well at night. The third day had arrived. I told my father that I don’t want to see the dentist anymore for the schedule of my aching tooth removal for I don’t experience any ache anymore. My tooth swollen gum went back to normal. I felt no pain anymore. But my father threatened me that it would recurring if it won’t be pulled out. Then I decided. It was done and I felt no terrible pain.

    I also agree about a preview before posting.  The mods had to go and edit a title of one of my posts because I made a typo.  It would save them work like that.  It could be a one time preview, it would prevent concerns about going back and editing or erasing work long past its posting, but still give people the chance they are looking for to check things.

    I remember reading this book in 6th grade and it really is a great book. There is a terrifying scene that involves Anne Marie’s Star of David necklace and its almost giving her away as being a Jew.

    Tomorrow (well Monday, in case Monday is when this blog gets posted) is when I get to start babysitting my favorite kids again! I’ve known their family for 3 years and have watched them since they were 7 and […]

    • Wow that’s so nice. You know there are people who think that if you suffer from some condition you cannot work, but look at you, you have autism and are taking care of kids not one but two, you must be an angel to those kids. It’s true that disability is not inability we all are equal in our own unique ways. Working for someone for 3 years is not a short time and you have done well may God richly bless the works of your hands

    • Oh you are great doing well for you and your families is spite of having so many difficulties at home and out of home but human courage and will power make men and women great will power is very strong you tackled every problem skillful and get over it

      There’s no doubt that babysitting requires skills in creativity, adventure, and play. But those skills are no help if you don’t know what to do when a kid has a playground tumble or you’re not prepared for the realities of a 2-year-old’s temper.

      Of course, money can be a problem for teens. It is what we all want, need, and often times, cannot get. Whether you want to grab T-pumps or go see a movie you need to have some cash. And if that cash is not just handed to you from your parents (which it is usually not), then there must be a way to earn it. Becoming a regular babysitter or even just babysitting every once in a while is a great method to take in some money. Though you probably will not have the income to take all your friends to see a movie, you can definitely rent one.

      Babysitting children can also develop stronger social skills. Many adolescents feel like they are “awkward” and have trouble talking to people comfortably. When doing this job, babysitters have to talk to parents and other adults in a professional manner. In addition, the job includes playing with and spending time with kids for a number of hours, which requires appropriate social ability. Babysitting aids in developing better ability in communication.
