WTF! I was standing by my bedroom,drinking a cup coffee when I saw our neighbor hurled a flash-bang grenade to a goat that was feeding on shrubs in front of his house.I was totally stunned by the loud blast that my glass of hot...

macdingolinger Here you can get fined for firing a gun inside city limits - I would think there would be more penalty for using a grenade inside city limits!! I'm surprised the police didn't come to see what was going on - or that someone hasn't already reported the...

I just heard this horrible news story. There is local dentist whose business was just shut down because of unsafe practices. The state is investigating him and sending letters to his 7000 clients informing them they may have been...

macdingolinger It is very sad for so many involved. He stands to lose everything - and really he should for failing to protect his clients' lives. He has his first court date on April 19 - I honestly expect he may commit suicide before then... sad I know - but when these...

macdingolinger Those kinds of things can be very scary indeed! I am glad it turned out to be okay. It's making me less likely to ever go to a dentist again! I rarely go as it is. It's sort of like taking a car in for a check up - there's no problems until after...

macdingolinger I just hate going to the dentist or the doctor. As a general rule things have to get pretty bad before I will go. Actually about 2 years ago I fell on a training run and broke my knee and didn't go for almost 2 weeks. the doctor was very upset since I really...

macdingolinger I tell you for sure that if I ever go to a dentist again one of the things I will ask will be their process for sterilizing their equipment. I will ask to see the things too just to make sure that there is no rust on them or anything too!

macdingolinger You are correct in saying it is his responsibility to ensure that the utensils are clean and that his staff is using proper procedures in providing care for patients. It's very sad that some may be ill and it could all have been totally prevented!...

macdingolinger Sad indeed. I am sure those being tested are on a super emotional roller coaster waiting to see if they contracted either disease. I really think it is unlikely that they could get HIV - although possible. It is highly likely to have Hep C though and that's no...

macdingolinger I guess that is an option I had not considered at all! I'll have to look into purchasing some of my own equipment. I bought the little bent mirror thingy so I can see a wound that's on the inside of my son's hand.

macdingolinger I had to go a couple of years ago to have a tooth pulled because I could not afford to have it fixed. I hope that does not happen again for awhile because I'm running out of teeth!

macdingolinger It's really scary for sure! I feel so bad for the one person who is infected with HIV and hepatitis C. Those are both incurable - but then this person could have already had it and the news could be making it sound worse just to exagerate the story!...

macdingolinger I only go when my tooth gets bad and needs to be pulled. The pain has to be beyond tolerating before I even call for an appointment! I also do not go to the doctor unless I suspect something is really broken! I waited (and tried to run unsuccessfully) 10 days...

macdingolinger There are plenty other ones - but this one has obviously slipped through the cracks in the system. His unethical practices include having unqualified aids start iv medications! I cannot believe it's been going on so long! I don't do doctors or dentists except...

macdingolinger Since I am at home by myself for the most part I can try it out. Even when I ate very vegetarian it was difficult because everyone else gave me such a difficult time over it. Here - it's just me so it really doesn't matter. I will probably use some cheese here...

macdingolinger He is getting a little better. I did give in and take him to the doctor, he had bronchitis. He is slowly getting better, but eventually I am going to have to get some sleep! He is still coughing quite a bit but seems to be doing some better.

macdingolinger My son has a head injury and cannot use throat lozenges. But he can drink some liquids. I need to get some lemon. I have never heard of paracetamol. What is that? is it an herb or a medicine?

macdingolinger What kind of herbal tea would you suggest? There are lots of herbs that could be used, but which one is best for coughing? The doctor here will not usually suggest any herbs or teas they just like to give more and more medicines.
