Why I have been(and will be) gone.

[Elana]

I'm sure some of you have noticed that I've been not very PIF active recently... Well, last week I went to the dentist for the first time in 8 years and it turns out that I need 3 root canals in addition to needing crowns and regular old fillings - blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.

Anyhow - I've just been busy thinking of ways to pay for the $9,000 it is going to take to fix my teeth. I really wish I had the $$$ to keep PIFing since it really makes me so happy to send things out to others for them to try and get new and exciting stuffs in to try for myself.

Oh well - I'll figure something out and try to return to the PIF love soon.

Ahh, the joys of dentistry Two implants coming up -- ka-ching!
The plus side is at least the complaints about how terrible smoking is for my teeth should go away, possibly cut down on cleanings for me

 

[keyzygirl]

You can just pop in and chat.Just so we know how your doing!

Thank you, too, hon! I'm glad you received it in good order and are enjoying it! ^_^ Chucks kick ...., heheh!




I might hover around the forums here and there, but I don't want to be a non-PIFing phantom that just sillifies everything.

[DemonCowboy]

I feel ya. I need a crapload of work done from smoking cigs, but luckily they are my rear teeth. I brush/floss 2x daily, but my genetics werent kind to me..

 

[sooperdrave]

sorry to hear that elana. i waited 10 years to see a dentist. i had 7 cavities and needed all my old fillings replaced. cost me a few thousand. i will never go that long again. all of it could have been prevented if i had regular cleanings.
good luck.

I'm so sorry you're having to go that that Elana. I hope you find a way to make it work without the finances hitting you too hard, and that you walk away with a healthier smile without too much pain!

Thanks again for the flavors you sent me, by the way. I've been madly trying to vape away my mostly-gone juices so I have bottles to mix in!

Finally killed the watermelon, and will be mixing up the strawberry tonight!

This. If you need anything, let us know. I will try my best to help you out.

I have been in a situation where I had emergency bills and couldn't afford cartos, and people helped me out without even asking, which is ultimately how I became motivated to join PIF.

Please let me know if there's anything you need and I will see if I can help.

 

[Elana]

Right now all I need that is ecig related is an 801 charger - the one I had got destroyed today when a rambunctious roommate smacked into it while it was plugged into my PC.

I've been vaping on my 801 - sold most of my eGo stuff and my Chuck so... yeah.

If anyone here likes Trueblood I am making Merlotte's Bar & Grill shirts for sale to try and help with the 'fang problem' as well.

Elana, just an Fyi for you and anyone else out there who may not know this. If you live anywhere near a major university, most medical schools run community dental clinics usually once a week or so through their dental college. It is usually first come first served and price is either a flat fee (regardless of the procedure) or income based. I know this because I am a nurse and worked for the Health dept with Pregnant Mom's and children and had to refer lot's of people to the clinic in my area. It is worth checking into.
And like everyone else said, please post if you have a need. You have lots of pif friends and I'm sure between all of us we can help. Unfortunately I have nothing 801

aw...i do know about that - unfortunately they don't do fillings or root canals, but i did get my teeth cleaned and a full set of x-rays for really cheap. thanks for helping!

 

[LuckyLulu]

really??? That is pointless. Sorry, the one here does everything but will only do one thing per visit so you have to kinda have to prioritize and keep going back.

 

[Fudgey]

Good luck with your teeth, I need to spend about another grand to get mine finished. I know your pain.

 

[VpnDrgn]

Like everyone has already said; You know all you gotta do is holla if you need anything.

Good Luck.

 

[what the hell]

Sorry to hear that! Looks like I'm not the only one with this problem. Even with dental insurance it will cost a small fortune to get my teeth fixed.
