Maybe I could gargle with some potassium nitrate. The potassium ions protect the teeth from the sour hydrogen ions.

Or brush your teeth with toothpaste that has potassium nitrate in it, which is designed for sensitive teeth.

I have used it for years and it really helps a lot. I don't think it actually helps to restore the enamel, but supposedly, it collects in any pores or perforated areas of the enamel, like around previous dental work, reducing the porosity of your teeth in those areas.

I had a gingevectomy a few years ago (The HORROR! ... the horror ...), so I also have some exposed roots. If I use one tube of toothpaste, without potassium nitrate, I will have hot/cold sensitivity return. among other problems. After our initial conversation, where I pointed out he was giving me toothpaste with compounds used in making "gunpowder in it", my dentist always asks, "Are you brushing with gunpowder?" He's cool.

Tig, don't worry, there's only a mild tendency to reduce your ability to achieve and maintain erections.


Just kidding - you don't swallow enough of the stuff to have that effect.

Don't you like the pain from hot/cold sensitivity?

Don't you like the pain from hot/cold sensitivity?

No, wrong kind. I have a sense that my teeth are part of my bones. I don't enjoy pain that I can locate in my bones or joints. I like my skin to be the pain field. All my punching bag work is not about pain or exercize. I don't get pleasure from my hitting or from being hit, except in a good fight. I punch the bag to bring some feeling back to me. Even my bones go numb, but the bones of my hands are the first to start to come back with some sensation, after a few good bag sessions.

So, maybe I do like some bone pain, if I can feel it, once again.

[Calandale]

Hmm...I actually kind of like tooth pain.
Not when it gets to a dull throb, but the
sharp sensations of the hot/cold are definitely
interesting.

Never liked fighting one bit though. But I do
enjoy the rage.

Can't fucking sleep.

[DirtDawg]

I had about a two and a half hour nap, earlier. I'm good to go for a while, yet.

I have given up, as of yesterday, the sleep-at-normal-times thing I was working on. I'm super hyper, right now ...

[Calandale]

I'm too sleepy to get work done
(had about 4 hours sleep in the
last 30), but I just can't fall asleep.
Probably the need to work is doing
it. Whenever I need to do something,
I always seem to find a way to make it
much more difficult than it has to be.

Probably something to do with my
feelings of entitlement.

I have that kind of toothpaste, though pure potassium nitrate would probably help more.

My GODDAMN 'scope quit! It is dead and I can't figure out why! I fear the worst. I've just spent the last fucking hour looking at every possible place for problems, but it's FUCKING DEAD! How the fuck am I going to phase align these horns without a GODDAMN scope?

There's always the ouija board.

Reverse the polarity of the tachyon beam!  It always does something interesting, and sometimes even fixes the problem.
