Ya_Big_Tree Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Had a different type of Christmas yesterday. First one I've spent with my bf's family. I kinda missed everyone in my family this year as they are on the other side of the country. Had a great dinner with the bf's family last night at a restaurant which was kinda nice not having to do a million dishes after x-mas dinner... something I'm used to doing every year. I kinda miss all the left overs tho. Also, prolly the best gift ever... my lil fur baby that has been sick and not eating for the last 3 days finally came out of hiding and had a lil almond milk i gave to her and then wanted her food again! :D It looks like she is on the mend. We were so worried about her 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 This is kind of a selfish one but WTF. I got some gift cards for Christmas. Went out and got some new threads for working out and every day wear that actually fit my new body...... :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingcinderellaman Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I just pulled off a dental miracle. I'm sure that no one can appreciate it, but I'm going to tell anyway. I had a case where a patient with a $10,000 lower implant retained denture needed it to be removed and repaired. One of the implant screws had been stripped and I was able to remove it with my dental drill and a ton of ingenuity. I modified an instrument into a flat head screwdriver and used the high speed drill to modify the stripped hex head screw and was able to get the stripped screw out without ruining or even damaging the titanium casting which is the expensive part. The diameter of the screw head was about 2mm. The patient has no idea how good this is so I'm venting here. If this didn't work, he would have had to get a whole new denture. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're like MacGyver Dentist...which coincidentally in a Rush related connection: the theme to that show originally was Tom Sawyer in Brazil. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an HVAC technician I pulled of many a mechanical miracle and not many would understand but me the difficulty of it all. I realize HVAC is not as important as what you apparently do, but it gave me chills when I did it anyway. Lot's of pride involved.... :cheers: Edited December 27, 2013 by Narpet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo73 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Jeff just came home visibly upset. After assuring him he could tell me, he said while on his route, just after delivering a pizza he heard a hail of gunfire.He said he saw a guy stumble out of a house "completely torn to shreds from bullets. Blood just....pouring. He's dead now. He's dead." He turned white, telling me how he heard bullets whiz right by his face. He dove into his car and floored it. .....all day I had a horrible, nauseating feeling. I knew he would experience something. I'm VERY happy he's ok!! I'm blocking out the details he gave me of the other guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yesterday my son and I skated at Fenway Park, where BC will be hosting Notre Dame Saturday night. I wish instead of hours of "ice time" my kids got to experience pond hockey now and then. The day before my kids skated with Pat Patriot. Yesterday my son skated with Wally the Green Monster. When I come back I want to be my kids. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
