Good morning everyone. I’ve had the most bloomin’ awful toothache the last few days while you guys were all chomping on turkey and pumpkin pie. It has settled down now thanks to some strong antibiotics, but the dentist is sick and I can’t get an appointment before Thursday. In my small town, there’s no emergency dental service.
Today’s Question(s):
Have you ever had a raging toothache?
If yes, how long did you have to endure it before getting treatment?
Extra Credit Question:
For those who have or had a career, would you choose the same career if you had your time over again?
Why/why not?
Bonus Question:
If all the people who usually answer the QOTD came to your home (around 45-50 of us), how many could you seat (excluding normal beds, steps and the floor, but including outdoor chairs and sofa beds)?
Just for Fun:
Do you have any original painted artwork on your walls at home?
If yes, who did it/them?
Yourself
Friend/relative
An artist who is not well known
An artist who is well known locally
An artist who is well known nationally or internationally

Have you ever had a raging toothache? Once when I was 14
If yes, how long did you have to endure it before getting treatment? 2 days. Where we lived at the time there was no dentist. We had to fly into Anchorage to get it taken care of. To make matters worse, a water pipe burst flooding the apartment that day.
Extra Credit Question:
For those who have or had a career, would you choose the same career if you had your time over again? I would.
Why/why not? Actually, I never intended to go into aviation. It just happened. After graduating college I had grand plans of getting rich in marketing. I hired on as a sales rep with a chemical manufacture. Let's just say I did not do well. While even to this day I do not believe it was all my fault, the odds were highly against me. I knew I was in trouble when I saw my position once again being advertised in the paper. I quit before they had to fire me. Then I got a job with a heating oil company. That lasted 3 years and then the company went out of business. So, broke and hungry, I hired on with an airline service company. Airline service companies are at the bottom of the food chain and will hire just about anyone. On the plus side, if you show up for work on time at least 50 percent of the time you will get offered a management position. Since I grew up in an aviation enviroment, I decided to stick it out and make it my career. I actually stayed with that rotten company 20 years. I was the senior supervisor on the station for probably 15 of those years. Then 5 years ago my dream job with an actual airline kinda fell in my lap. I have been living the dream ever since.
Bonus Question:
If all the people who usually answer the QOTD came to your home (around 45-50 of us), how many could you seat (excluding normal beds, steps and the floor, but including outdoor chairs and sofa beds)? If everyone got along real well, 4 people could sit on my couch. 4 more could sit at the dining table. Another 4 could sit out on the deck. Everyone else has to stand. Wait a minute...While I am a nice person and all, I need a place to sit. looks like one of the 12 guests with seats is getting bumped

I don't even want to think about it.
Extra Credit Question:
For those who have or had a career, would you choose the same career if you had your time over again? Probably.
Why/why not? I really enjoyed my profession (social worker).....however I was underpaid and had difficulty adequately supporting my family. When you work with those who society devalues.....the financial rewards are commensurate with that devalued status.
Bonus Question:
If all the people who usually answer the QOTD came to your home (around 45-50 of us), how many could you seat (excluding normal beds, steps and the floor, but including outdoor chairs and sofa beds)?
31 seats....but the guests would have to split up over the upstairs and downstairs rooms ... oh there's room for two more out on the bench in the garden.

Yourself
Friend/relative
My great aunt (1860) was an artist and I have one of her American primitive style;
my close friend from HS is a successful artist and I have several of her water colors
my MIL gave us two framed calligraphy that she had done,
we purchased a painting by a dear friend who is living with Altzhiemer's Disease and is painting her journey in remarkable watercolors;
we have another friend who is a holocaust surviver and a successful artist...we purchased two of her paintings.
We also have several paintings by unknown artists.

Serry \SER-ee\ , verb;
1. To crowd closely together. (I would have to serry my guests if you all came to visit.)
If yes, how long did you have to endure it before getting treatment?2-4 days. Had to get on antibiotic before the drilling could start.
Extra Credit Question:
For those who have or had a career, would you choose the same career if you had your time over again? No
Why/why not?I could have made a worse decision.
Bonus Question:
If all the people who usually answer the QOTD came to your home (around 45-50 of us), how many could you seat (excluding normal beds, steps and the floor, but including outdoor chairs and sofa beds)?A dozen or so.

Yourself I started and wife finished.

Today’s Question(s): Have you ever had a raging toothache? I had my first really bad cavity this summer. If yes, how long did you have to endure it before getting treatment?
It was fixed before it abcessed enough to require antibiotics.
Extra Credit Question: For those who have or had a career, would you choose the same career if you had your time over again? Why/why not?
Yes, because it's what I'm suited for.
Bonus Question: If all the people who usually answer the QOTD came to your home (around 45-50 of us), how many could you seat (excluding normal beds, steps and the floor, but including outdoor chairs and sofa beds)?
About 18-20
Just for Fun: Do you have any original painted artwork on your walls at home? If yes, who did it/them?
Yes, by artists who are not well known

If yes, how long did you have to endure it before getting treatment?
Luckily, I was able to get pain meds fairly quickly.
Extra Credit Question:
For those who have or had a career, would you choose the same career if you had your time over again? I would still work with children, but as either an OT or a speech pathologist. As a special educator I work with these people every day to provide services & what they do is fascinating. In these professions I could also work with people of all ages.
Then again......Maybe I'd choose to be a performer with Cirque du Soleil!
Bonus Question:
If all the people who usually answer the QOTD came to your home (around 45-50 of us), how many could you seat (excluding normal beds, steps and the floor, but including outdoor chairs and sofa beds)? I have a very small house, under 1,000 sq. ft. but it sits on almost 20 acres. So, inside about a dozen could be seated as there's a long window seat in the living room. Another 6 on the porch & the rest of you can bring a lawn chair.
Just for Fun:
Do you have any original painted artwork on your walls at home? Yes
If yes, who did it/them?
Yourself
Friend/relative....... A friend, my SiL, various nieces and nephews & one two year old grandchild who loves to fingerpaint
An artist who is not well known
An artist who is well known locally
An artist who is well known nationally or internationally
Must get moving...8 am staff meeting every Tuesday. Have a great day!
Oh yes Ive had my share of toothaches and finally got brave enough to go to the dentist.
Yes I would do my career over again, as an electrician if I could. Only thing is I would become a contractor myself rather than work for someone else.
This isnt a very big house at all so probably Id say 10 people can comfortably could find a seat somewhere here.
And heres to chocolate day!!
Have you ever had a raging toothache? Yes!!! And it went from a toothache to full blown abcess in 48 hours. It also happened on a weekend. Thankfully, I have friends in low places and some Tylenol 3 helped me make it until Monday. Then they pulled it.
If all the people who usually answer the QOTD came to your home (around 45-50 of us), how many could you seat (excluding normal beds, steps and the floor, but including outdoor chairs and sofa beds)?
Seat 15 maybe.
Just for Fun:
Do you have any original painted artwork on your walls at home? Yes. We have a lot of Native American artwork. Some by famous people and one by me!
Location: I never said I was perfect so no refunds here sorry!
