The Mean Lady

Cause you get swag ! you use the swag to procure other favors, right? right?

i DO get a lot of swag.

I made a deal with one of my clients at the Natural Products West show.

I hid IBC rootbeer barrels in his booth.

He is sending me back gluten free foods.

Oh there's something that happened.

Turns out I'm allergic to gluten.

Yay me.

Not.

I feel like now that I think about it that I did talk about this gluten thing before.

But that was back in July.

Was I here in july?

Maybe I was.

I can't remember.

Feels like I've been gone forever.

The worst part of my job is when I think about that these people, let's take GE for instance, spend probably 50k on just a blank piece of floor at CES, then they spend 300k on a booth from us, and it's like... it has to be perfect.

You spend 3 months meeting this deadline and then your company hires some idiot who claims he has all this experience and in the end you end up hiring extra trucks to drive from IL to NV practically over night just so you can get everything there in time.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHG.

The other day the radio was talking about the most stressful jobs.

And these people are calling in talking about their "stressful" jobs and I'm sitting there like you guys have no idea what stress is.

And when they read the top 10 list, sure enough, there I am, number 8.

http://www.careercast.com/jobs-rated/most-stressful-jobs-2015

Except they even make the description of "event coordinator" in that article sound less stressful.

They don't even touch on trade shows.

ah, I can answer that for you.......

It all started way back when.....one day when you were about 7......you woke up and said "hm....I think I'll be a logistics expert".....

That is like 10% of the job I do.

And not even the stressful part.

All you people that show up at CES or ComicCon, or Toyfair and think this is so FUN.

You don't think about all the people crying at their desks that made it happen >=[ /pout

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhg why did I choose to have such a stressful job

Sure I come back and you close the thread.

I see how it is.

=O

After all this time, we still ranting?

OMG WHY DO THINGS ALWAYS STINK IN THIS BUILDING

THE WHOLE BUILDING SMELLS LIKE A HOT BOXED CAR OF FARTS

Like, I could fart all day and no one would know the difference

morning all,

woke up at 2am to pee....hubs was in the shower....until 3am ....by then I was awake and about to burst....just ate breakfast since I am awake....gonna practice theory test for Saturday....don't want to taxi it so I gotta wait.

TB hope you feel better.....sounds like no fun.....

He no let you pee while he shower?

What's the big deal?

I would be like OPEN THIS DOOR I NEED TO PEE

I spoke with my dr and she told me I'm right.

Even if I buy a nightguard, it's not going to fix my problem.

All it will do is protect my teeth because I'm not even really a grinder, there's nothing wrong with my teeth.

I move my jaw back and forth and click my teeth.

She ended up doing xrays on thursday so I'm waiting to see what the insides look like!

Also, I have no dental insurance at all and a dentist would not be able to diagnose anything.

I've already been diagnosed.

1- that's me!

2- how many times did the wife have sex in that same 7 week period?

5- how many times did the wife have sex on her business trip?

8- the husband should look for sex at work like Tarklar does.

it said in the spread sheet how many times.

like 3 times in 7 weeks or something

She's putting out, just not to her husband

bingo.

Also, 3 times in 7 weeks... yeah... she's not interested any more.

Some of those excuses were lame as heck

LOL I just noticed this:

http://nypost.com/2014/07/21/one-husbands-hilarious-list-of-wifes-reasons-for-no-sex/

My husband has been talking with that guy on a relationship forum LMFAO

Nah, I totally made that up about Steve, but carp has been going on in his office and he's fed up with it.

i hate carp

Steve has a sexual harassment suit against him and work for taking advantage of his new sexy assistant. And a discrimination suit against him at work for not taking advantage of another woman there. In other words his work has been damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

Darnell has issues with his spouse ever since she came to the USA. She's gonna go become a nun now.

You are not serious about steve............

Holy poo what did I miss with Steve and Darnell?

Almost any nightguard can be better than none. Ordering remotely skips the step of ensuring a proper fit, but perhaps it's worth the gamble.

No it doesn't.

Did you read it?

You do the impressions, you send them in.

If it doesn't come back correct, they fix it.

You didn't read >=[

Went to a picnic yesterday, and my wife got to see an interesting American situation. One of the guys was there with his second wife, while the first wife was there to. The former and current wives called each other one and two, and got along fine. Totally confused my wife so she was asking if that's normal. I could only say well it might not be normal, but its not unusual either. And that sometimes they're just polite to each other, and not friendly like these two were. It was a good thing she could see that, maybe it will help her get over the idea of ex's being a threat.

LOL.

Did the guy and number one have kids?

I've found they are much more amicable when they've had a kid.

An expert in the field told me that the purpose of the nightguard is not to protect the teeth from the grinding, but rather to form a normal bite. He said that he once had a patient who put 10 tons of pressure on, during his grinding. Indeed, I've cracked a couple of normally made nightguards from the stresses that I placed on them.

He said that the jaw and maxillary pain comes from the grinding, which comes from an abnormal bite. Your jaw should benefit from wearing a nightguard.

Nightguards look like a horseshoe.

From lousy orthodontic work when I was a teenager, I've had lifelong TMJ disorders.

Not sure what the insurance picture is now, but when I wanted to get my first one, the dental insurance specifically excluded nightguards, claiming that the device was "medical" and not dental. The medical insurance claimed the converse. My orthodontist pulled some strings, somehow, and got it covered.

Most U.S. dental insurance completely sucks, anyway. My first ones cost me several hundred dollars even after what the insurance covered. I later wised up and started going to Mexico for mine, and also got one or two in Ecuador. The last one in Ecu was $175 cash; the cheap one in Mexico was $20 cash (soft plastic), and it works amazingly well; a previous one that I got in Mexico was something like $40 cash.

My most recent is an upper-lower combination nightguard for the prevention of obstructive sleep apnea. It works wonderfully well. The Mexican dentists took the impressions, sent them to their dental lab in the U.S., and had the lab send it directly to me. Drive-out price was $350. My family doctor was highly impressed with this, saying that such appliances are $900 or more in the U.S.

If you're anywhere within shouting distance of Mexico, or if you can get a decent airfare or can use flyer miles, definitely have yours made there. If this is feasible, I'll recommend the dentists for you to see.

Actually I was looking into this:

http://www.proteethguard.com/

All of the reviews I have read for the site make it seem like the best.

And their customer service is apparently top notch.

Here's a run down of the whole process

http://thepennywisemama.com/2013/02/pro-teeth-night-guard-review.html

I was diagnosed with bruxism, andTMD which got progressively worse once my wisdom teeth were removed. I've done physical therapy on my jaw from time to time. Unfortunately, my local dentist does not take my insurance, and I'd rather not see anyone else, as he's a good one. I have jaw issues and headaches, and the grinding started causing me to 'sprain' my teeth (never knew you could do that!) He is not a supporter of a basic OTC nightguard as it will do little to help the jaw and is not custom fit. He custom fit me for a device called an NTI-TSS. It fits on my front lower teeth and isn't too bothersome. I personally find however it sometimes can be annoying to wear at night and can make my upper muscles somewhat stiff (it felt like a mini workout initially). I still have headaches, but I actually feel a lot more comfortable wearing it at certain points of the daytime, but only if I am experiencing facial/muscle pain. For nighttime I still think a full splint may be better and my sister has one instead of the NTI. The NTI cost about $500 plus the cost of taking impressions of the teeth. The NTI will indeed prevent you from putting any pressure on your back teeth whatsoever, so perhaps in your case it may help. Consult the dentist first. There are pros and cons to every device as this will tell you http://www.drbicuspid.com/index.aspx?sec=log&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.drbicuspid.com%2findex.asp%3fsec%3dser%26sub%3ddef%26pag%3ddis%26ItemID%3d301154 and here: http://www.dentistrytoday.com/prosthodontics/prosthetics/1716

I have done research on the NTI and in the end i decided two things

1- It looks like the best solution as the gap in the front is what makes it so I can't clench as tightly

2- I'm not getting one because the majority of reviews say their teeth shifted and eventually their front teeth couldn't even bite anything any more because they were so spaced out: no thanks.

They sell guards in Walmart, at the pharmacy section for under $20.

You warm them up, then mold them to fit your mouth.

Those guards are sh*t

Np... Now I want to make them again.

Deep Fat fry an Egg. You serious ? I have never tried that but think I will. Thanks

P.S. Nice handle

I did a scotch egg in there once.

That was quite interesting.

PS: People said I was mean, so I just went with it.

Can I jump back onto the deep fryer topic?

I really enjoy cooking egg rolls in the deep fryer.

Ours doesn't look as fancy as that one, though.

Also made a ton of fresh cut fries.

MMMMMMMMM deep fried goodness sounds so good.

pew pew!
