And it’s after 5:00.
I am NEVER having this proceedure done again without general anaesthesia, If I can.
But don’t let that stop you….
Had a similar dental root canal experience but managed to find relief relatively quickly. Never schedule root canals, or anything invasive at all for that matter, in the afternoon.
Holy shit man. Tell me it's not the guy down by smith's ...Quote:

Good, thanks. I'm starting with a new to me dentist on monday; who is located just before Smith's on the right.Quote:

- They send me a bill for my portion (after insurance has paid its share), but their bill has no means to pay online, you have to mail a check/cc info or call
- They send me a statement a month later indicating that I am "past due"
- They call and email a month after that demanding payment
The bill in question? $40 (they've already been paid $70 by insurance). For a provider that I see 2x year and have been going to for years But apparently just waiting until I show up again, or having a modern payment system that allows me to pay online, is too much trouble for them, and instead they would rather spend time and money on sending me these bills and calling me.
I get ever so slightly annoyed at social media posts stating how present and mindful the poster is feeling. if you value those things then why do you ruin it seeking external validation?
Don't get me wrong I value both, but I also realize they are not complimentary.
Description of Kirsten Poulsen is 1000% spot on.Quote:

This place pays off again.
Unfortunately it describes a lot of social media these days. Who’s Kirsten Poulsen?Quote:

Good ole Van Vaught!
Fucking ebay! That is all.
Most social media I'd say. Being present and mindful isn't exactly compatible with carefully orchestrating a picture to document the moment. #hypocrisy #doitforthegramQuote:

Dang kids these days. 40+ years ago UVM had a solution. They put in a tunnel a few hundred yards down the road. Im not sure what happened to it when they built the Davis center. There's no question that it is a dangerous place to cross on a busy street. It's freaking US Route 2 for crying out loud. And it's hard enough as it is to drive in and out of Burlington. Don't make it harder. They need to go back to not allowing pedestrians to cross there. Tunnel AND bridge if they have to. I just can't get over how the students think the cars are the problem.
Main Street should go underground just below Prospect street and emerge just past the Spear street exchange. Make the whole top of the hill the university with just local access. It would improve thru traffic flow immensely.
While they are planning that they also need a tunnel from Battery Street to the belt line to get all that traffic out of the Old North End. I’ve thought about this a lot as I’m kind of a boring person.
I am going to respectfully disagree on a main street road tunnel. It's not our fault the way UVM has decided to develop the top of the hill. They should adjust to the road not the other way around. Generally, yes, I do prefer fewer roads, want things people centric, etc and normally I would agree with you. I'm annoyed by UVM's arrogance in thinking they own Burlington and the students' arrogance in ignoring the past solution that was put in when their parents were children. Burying the road puts the expense on us, the taxpayer. If UVM wants a contiguous campus, they should pay for it. If they acted more like a state university and in state students were served better, ok, ya, maybe I'll foot more of the bill. A people tunnel and a people bridge would be cheaper and less disruptive than burying the road. Also it's about time US 2 just bypassed Burlington entirely. [My family has four generations of involvement with UVM both as employees and or students.]Quote:

77 vehicles breaking the law and running a red light in an hour at a public marked and signalized crosswalk is not a taxpayer, enforcement or vehicle behavior issue and is in fact is a pedestrian and UVM issue? Tell me more...
Sure, the solution is to separate the pedestrians from the cars via a tunnel probably (bridges don't work), but this isn't a pedestrian behavior issue as presented.
Lol. Ya. Name any big city school, right? I was sitting in the student building at MIT one weekend afternoon while my HS kid attended Splash. A car did a u-turn in the massive crosswalk, while people were using it.Quote:

Burying Main street under UVM would be pretty cool for a lot of reasons. I just have a chip on my shoulder about UVM, especially because in the late 70s they built a pedestrian tunnel for this exact reason. The crosswalks all got closed, no pedx allowed. I used to ride my bicycle through it, stairs and all. And then at some point they changed their minds.
Tunnel is still there…..goes right into Davis Center.Quote:
