What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

[firechick]

I'm in the middle of a root canal now, roth. Seems my old dentist put in a paper post several years ago with the intention of doing a permanent post and crown later. Except he never told me it wasn't finished. I did say OLD dentist. He isn't my dentist anymore. The new dentist can't finalize it until it settles down. Once the anesthetic is in, you're good to go. It's uncomfortable and you have a good jaw ache from holding it open that long, but they aren't usually as brutal as they used to be. The finances are the most painful part.

Sorry, Burnie....never had any snus in a metal tin.

Well made a mistake and decided to try the "Oden's Extreme - 59 Cinnamon" this morning, man is it strong at 19.8mg per portion. I like the flavor, and you can really taste the cinnamon, but not something I would want to use every day. This will be added to my Yes list, but something I use later in the day every now and again for a change up.

The Oden's Extreme always makes me sneeze uncontrollably after about 15 minutes. I thought it was the nicotine content, but I double bagged Lab 12 (14mg each) to combat a particularly strong craving and didn't experience that.

A long time ago I used to use odens 59 but it wasn’t extreme. I don’t know if they still make it in the weaker strength .

 

[hittman]

I looked but didn’t find the old odens 59. However I did see odens lemon white that sounds interesting. I’ll have to try to remember that next time I order.

I did a quick search and all there was, was the Extreme high nicotine. Going to try the Oden's Extreme Vanilla (19.8mg per portion) tonight when I can handle a little higher nicotine.

Since you have the bags, you could split the 59 portions in half. One that isn’t available any more that I miss is Claq Qui.

True, that would get it down to a manageable level for use during the day.

Also has a big kick, but not really getting the Vanilla, I'll try it again another night, not sure on this one.

 

[hittman]

I don’t think I’ve had a vanilla snus that actually tasted like vanilla.

FC, I was hoping the technique improved. It's been a very long time for me. Yeah, that's the other part I dread, the location. It's the very back molar so open wide. I'm not looking forward to Thursday. I think my game plan is to avoid discussing unless they find it for the time being. I have something else I'd like to spend money on, a new bike. lol

I've been wanting to do some biking but my 70 year old body and the hills around here are a bit more than I feel like attempting. However, those ebikes sure look interesting. I just started investigating looking for something I can get good range with. If all I can do is ride around a little in my area, it's not worth it but I'm seeing some 50-75 mile ranges that gets me to town and back with plenty to spare.

Well tried the Grov - Original (8.5mg per portion), just a mild tobacco flavor, which is nice, so this one is added to my YES list.

Coffee offerings in the snus world are few and far between and usually full portions.

That could be awesome with the right cofee Burnie.

Well, I'm trying something.
Had to have nicotine, so I took a Thunder Raspberry, cut it in half, took 1/2 and mixed a couple of good pinches of Starbucks French Roast coffee grounds with it, and put it in a pouch. Size wise it is about 3/4 the size of a regular pouch, and should be around 9.8mg for the portion. Not sure how much flavor I will get out of the coffee grounds (instant might be better, but I don't have any), but I was making some cold brew coffee this morning and decided to give it a try. I'll post how it turns out once I try it.

Well that didn't work, no coffee flavor at all.
Guess I need to try instant coffee, for another day.

Just a thought but maybe a PG coffee extraction, drip a few drops on a portion.

Tried that, PG is not great in the mouth (I have some I extracted myself for vaping), and VG does not strain very good when filtering it (tried that also). I did do a Lotta Latte mixture (with VG and water) on some portions, and that is good (use one every morning when drinking my coffee), but just doing some further experiments on making some pouches, Thanks for the input.

Hitt, did you get that ice in your area? Just saw the pile up down in Branson, pretty ugly.

I took a big hit this AM on the black ice when I took the dog out after waking up, wish I would have but a cap on. Got a big hit on my bald spot on the back of my head and a huge lump. Good thing I'm half Polish and hard headed. lol My body feels like I was in an accident.

 

[hittman]

Roth, we got a little snow yesterday that the road crews did the usual crappy job of half way clearing the streets. There were small patches on the way to work that appeared to be black ice but nothing too bad. We are supposed to get hit tomorrow afternoon with another 1-3 inches which will make the drive home from downtown take forever. It's amazing how a 25 minute ride can turn into 2.5 hours.

I hope that bump on your head isn't too bad. Should you have it looked at?

 

[Waho]

We got about 6 inches here in the middle of the mitten. Suns been out so with the salt it's cleaning up pretty good so far on the main roads at least. As a fellow Polack I hope your head heals up quick Roth.

I made a Chiropractor appointment after I threw my back out last week that I went to this morning. First time I've seen one, but my Dad went regularly up to the day he died so I knew a little about them. I marked on my chart that I had occasional numbness/tingling in my right hand. He says probably carpal tunnel which I had suspected, then grabs my wrist pokes around with his thumbs a bit and wiggles my wrist. I swear it cracked and popped all of 47 times and feels better than it has in years. I got a spinal exam and x-rays with another appointment tomorrow for my back. Never been so excited to see a Doctor.

 

[hittman]

My past pattern has been about one visit to the chiropractor about every three years. That is except the time I had something really out of whack and couldn’t run. That one took five visits over a month and a half.

 

[firechick]

Weather peeps say 5 to 10 inches of snow between 7 am and 5 pm on Wed. Not looking forward to the drive home. It's about 25 miles and almost all North/South roads. Yuk.

We’re supposed to get 1-3 tomorrow during the workday so it’s going to be a miserable and long ride home from downtown.
