@contentandwell JK, It's not you I have been having the same issue with a name not coming up using the @ sign. I am going to tag @colleenyoung to let her know. And as for chocolates--there isn't much chocolate I don't like!

@hazelblumberg, Probably having been an IT professional for years contributed to my lack of fear of technology, even though at this point I have not been in the field since just before my son was born, 37 years ago.

I miss records too, I have a bunch but no way to play them.

You are ahead of me on Pandora, I know NOTHING about it!

@this sounds great, I will definitely add it to my phone. For some reason every time I try to add a new app it asks for my credit info, even when the app is a free one. This just started recently and I hate to put that in when not necessary. Anyone else having that pop up on downloading apps?
JK

@hazelblumberg It's not if you remember, I do put the @ before your name but it still does not pop up. That happens with one or two others also.

If you are looking for something to play old records on, you can get a USB record player fairly cheap. The advantage is that most of them come with a program for your computer that lets you record the songs from the record player. Just do a Google search for "USB record player". I used one to get the songs off some old 78s and 33-1/3 records. I like some of the old stuff too!

Hi JK (@contentandwell) - I think both Apple and Android phones changed the security so you have to have your App Store setup with a credit card even if it's a free app you are trying to download. Here's some links to check for whichever type of phone you have: (Google search results):

I'd been going to my dentist for 25 years. He had seemed to be losing interest in me even before I got TMJ pain, and I just figured, OK, the guy really needs to retire. When I got the TMJ pain, he did what he was supposed to do: gave me incredibly painful shots into trigger points in my mouth, fussed with the nightguard he'd made me, all to no avail. He felt that botox wouldn't help me, and after having experienced facial paralysis with Bell's palsy 20 years ago, I have NO desire to undergo any kind of paralysis again. My dentist sent me to an oral surgeon, who found no joint problems, so he couldn't offer me surgery--and from what I've read, surgery for TMJ pain often leaves you in worse shape than you were in before. He gave me a muscle relaxer, Flexeril, and sent me back to my dentist. The dentist sent me to a physical therapist who was, in my humble opinion, off his rocker, and I refused to see him again. (Plus, I was in absolute agony for 2 1/2 days after the "session" with this nutcase.) After that, my dentist recommended a pain management specialist, but he wouldn't write a referral for one. So, I dumped him.

I see my psychiatrist for every-6-month med checks. When I went to my last visit, I wanted to talk to him about my TMJ pain. He asked who my dentist was, and I told him--and also said that I'd fired the dentist. "Well, now that you've fired him, I feel no problems in telling you my experiences with him," said my psychiatrist. He said that, if anyone has a problem that's somewhat out of the ordinary, this dentist simply doesn't want to deal with it. At all. So, he does benign neglect, doing nothing further to help you, until you finally give up and leave him alone. So, perhaps that's what's going on with your dentist?

I've been in touch with the medical marijuana people here in Florida. They have been marvelously helpful and totally on the ball. This morning, they called me back, because I'd left them voicemail with questions. Turns out I didn't have to have the online Eappointment that I'd signed up for--I'd been on hold for so long the two times I'd scheduled one of those interviews (with a physician assistant), that I'd decided to see about calling the doctor directly. The MM people asked me which doctor I'd like to see, and they set up an appointment for me for next week. All I need to do is bring an ID, a list of medications I take, a diagnosis, and a check for $299. If I don't get accepted, I don't have to pay the $299. If I do, then that's for the first 6 months. The followup, which involves another visit, is $99.

So, I've sent a note to my primary care. I hope she'll write a diagnosis for me, although I don't think she's crazy about MM. She wants me to try an RN/LMT/PT who's in her office, but frankly, I'm sick and tired of half-measures that do nothing. She'd sent me to an ENT, who'd made the diagnosis; unfortunately, I didn't write down the name of the ENT, and I don't remember her name. I suppose the oral surgeon could write a simple diagnosis. I certainly wouldn't have asked my dentist, even if I were still going to him. So, we'll see where this all leads. I would much rather use MM than pain pills and muscle relaxers, which leave me befogged and don't really provide me with lasting relief.

JK, I don't find that any names pop up for me when I reply to someone! So, I'm definitely missing something!

@contentedandwell

I take Generlac because some of my meds are constipating, and because of the several stomach surgeries I've had, as well as ER visits for bowel obstructions. No cirrhosis.
