Back to job searching.

 in response to PoorMIgirl...   I feel for you. I know what it's like to be in excruciating pain due to a toothache, and it's completely disabling. You might want to go to your county hospital, and make an appointment with the oral surgeon there, to remove the tooth. If you qualify, they might not charge you a dime.

 in response to Ihatefashion!...   Hi! I hear ya--I'm big as well. Have you tried JCPenney? Even though I am a size 14 in pants, I can usually fit into size XL there. They also have plus size clothing.

 in response to NemesioMrBigshot...   Thank you for a beautiful post!

I got my two final crowns cemented in. The one for the bicuspid was cemented in with temporary cement, as I have had on and off pain with that tooth ever since it was prepped for a crown. The pain seems to be decreasing daily, which is a good thing. I think that they might cement it in with permanent cement the next time I go in (which is for my cleaning next month...I get cleanings every three months) if the pain is gone by then.

So I went to the dentist, and got all my issues fixed (sans cosmetic work). When I went in, I had a faulty crown, broken tooth, and three cavities. So the dentist took off the faulty crown, and prepped both that tooth and the broken tooth for crowns. Right now I have temporary crowns, and will get the final crowns on Tuesday (Valentine's Day!). I also got three white fillings.

The thing is, the broken tooth that was prepped for a crown, has been hurting me ever since! I'm worried that I might need a root canal. The dentist said that he would cement the final crown on with temporary cement--just in case. So that's kind of comforting.

So I got all my issues fixed, but did no cosmetic work. I really thought that I wouldn't need much work at all, but it turns out that I did. So I'm broke now. :P The cosmetic stuff will just have to wait, but at least my mouth is now healthy!

She needs to sign up for food stamps and cash aid ASAP.

 in response to PJsMom...   Thanks for the tip. :)

I'm sick, and have been for the past week. I thought it would be a nice change to go out of the house today, so I went to Staples, and couldn't stop coughing! I received a lot of gift cards for Christmas, so I was going to look around some stores after Staples, but I left the store without buying anything. I literally ran outside and almost puked. Fortunately, I didn't puke. After the nausea passed, I got in my car, and drove back home! I realized that it's best to rest at home until a cold has passed. :)

Lovely tree. :)

Housesitting! My cousin and her husband went on a vacation over the holidays, and they paid me to feed their fish, get their mail, and water their plants.

 in response to montedreams...   Thanks! :) Will look into it.

Every now and then, I hear about fear of the dentist. I really feel for these people, but cannot really relate, as I have been in and out of the dentist's office my entire life. It is truly tragic how a horrible dental experience in our youth, can make us fearful for life.

On that note, I would like to mention that I have "Dental OCD", if that exists. For example, if I drank out of a cup during a meal, once I've brushed my teeth, I have to use a new cup. I know that this is rather silly, but the perception is that there is microscopic sugar on that old cup (and sometimes you can just see for yourself that there is a smudge of food or liquid). Also, I have to brush my teeth in a certain way, and if I do one stroke wrong, I have to start over again. This is why I hate brushing my teeth! I usually have to start brushing over at least five times before one finally "sticks".

Anyway, I'm not really sure if it's appropriate for me to have a "dental diary" on Aidpage, but I feel like this website needs a little more variety, and I feel the need to get this all out there. I mean, I just opened a private Xanga account, but sometimes it's nice to let others know what you're going through, and to get feedback.

I have been thinking more and more, that my teeth look fine, and that I should just focus on getting my "problems" fixed, so that's what I'm thinking about now. I think my main issue is that a filling fell out of one of my bicuspids, but I can see that the hole is kind of dark. Could this be recurrent decay? So I'm really hoping that the dentist will just give me another filling, but I can see for myself, that this filling was really deep, so I'm not sure if my nerve will survive another filling, and I might just need a root canal and crown. I really don't think I can afford those. Oh well. We will see.

 in response to bookworm2011...   I've never heard of the HCG diet. Please let me know how it works for you! :) That's good that exercise is not required. I think right now, I actually do have the time, but definitely no desire. ;) Unfortunately, I had to cancel my dental appointment for tomorrow. I'm still really sick, but I'll probably be healed within a few days. Once I'm healed, I will try to be seen as soon as possible. Thanks for remembering! :) At least some people actually read my posts. :P Hope you're doing well too!

 in response to MsJackson...   I know what you mean. It's almost impossible to lose weight. :( My philosophy is to just eat healthier, and hopefully the pounds will melt. I've tried a gym membership before, but I ended up refunding that, because I honestly never went after the first week. :P It's hard for me to find some form of exercising that is enjoyable.

I'm trying to lose weight again. I have 50 pounds to lose. I was looking at some old pictures of me the other day, and it hurt me, how different I look now. So I'm trying to cut all junk food out of my life. My new year's resolution is to lose weight, and KEEP IT OFF.

Hi! Can you give us an update on how and where you are now?

Have you applied for food stamps and cash aid?

Have you applied for food stamps and disability?
