The primary locations will be N. California, Oregon and WA coast, Sierra Nevada mountains, Idaho mountains. In my opinion, most folks view Nevada as one huge hot desert and will avoid crossing the 500 miles to get to Utah. I of course could be wrong, but I view the Great Basin as a nice moat with me in the middle, and with few incentives for outsiders to swim it.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-75370638546282239202016-08-15T13:54:44.754-07:002016-08-15T13:54:44.754-07:00We already got ours here- LDS dentist that is.

But I think that it requires some pretty serious anesthesia to pull it off. The home method is to rock the tooth back and forth loosening it enough to pull it and sever the tendons simultaneously.<br /><br />Tons of videos on youtube on this very topic, but in most of them, the tooth was being pulled by someone other than the patient.<br /><br />Seems that I recall James that there was a section in The Poor Man's James Bond on the nitrous oxide (laughing gas) which would be very helpful to have during a tooth extraction. It might also be included in the Dick's Encyclopedia.

They don't pay for titanium frames or transition lenses tho. So I get one pair each year with the extras and one without the super frames.<br />End up only having to pay a hundred bucks each year for both pairs. My prescription hasn't changed in ten years. So now I'm about fifteen pairs ahead ! They also are bifocal which I order one at 1.25 and the second set at 1.50.<br />On the tooth thing... I've had store bought almost since when I donated my kidney to the sister. Busted em all loose when I came out of anesthesia lol, and they never tightened back up.

I know cause I tried, on my self. I had a badly infected molar, top left, got likkered up and yanked real hard on it with the pliers and the snap=back pain almost killed me on the spot. The worst pain I ever endured. srsly <br /><br />I don't remember the name right now but dentists use a tool to separate the connecting tendons from the sides of the tooth. The tool is small, shallow U shaped and resembles a putty knife sort of. The blade of that tool is slide down or up along the side of the tooth between the tooth and gum, and a sort of outward prying pressure is applied. This in effect creates a canal around the tooth. On a very infected tooth, once that is completed, the tooth will almost fall right out of the diseased socket on it's own.<br /><br />The human mouth is a bacterial battleground constantly and infection to open wounds like tooth removal are extected, so quantities of Listerine, peroxide, and alcohol are necessary. And gauze that can be balled up and packed into the bloody sockets.<br /><br />A reminder that pure vanilla, the stuff in small brown bottle by McCormick's, works best, for instantly nullifying intense tooth pain. Pour a small amount of the vanilla onto a small gauze ball or wadded up paper towel and hold it firmly against the infected area and in about 10 seconds or so the pain will be completely gone, and stay gone for 12 hours or more. If you've ever had a severely infected tooth you'll appreciate this godsend. Ground cloves (McCormick's again) mixed 50/50 with warm water swished around the tooth will also work but nearly as well as the vanilla.<br /><br />You can also get the larger white plastic bottles of vanilla at the dollar store too that seems to work pretty good. Your medical kit should have a couple bottles. Who knows, you may be the tribe dentist pretty soon. ghostsniperhttp://www.deadcenter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-26006466803950448832016-08-12T14:34:03.101-07:002016-08-12T14:34:03.101-07:00Found your blog from Troy Grice.com.

Since I see distant just fine, I was looking for some glasses that allowed for uncorrected, as well as corrected vision, for times when you're doing fine work, and don't want to have to be constantly removing and replacing your reading glasses. I found some bifocals at Amazon that were just the ticket. The main lenses are uncorrected, with a little ellipse at the bottom providing magnification. Of course they cost more, so I can't say if the advantages are worth it or not. I've also seen safety glasses with this feature as well.<br /><br />If all you need are reading glasses, a cheap magnifying glass or fresnel lens will work in a pinch, and also provide the ability to make fire. I've tried to focus sun light and make fire with my various reading glasses, but so far none of them have had strong enough correction to be able to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-18318592954767943552016-08-12T08:01:32.159-07:002016-08-12T08:01:32.159-07:00If you don't need regular glasses now get the ...If you don't need regular glasses now get the reading glasses anyways- AND get the sunglasses. Good optical quality safety sunglasses can be had from amazon for a very low cost. I bought a dozen. <br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D1ZX1L0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1<br /><br />If you can afford the laser eye surgery it might be advantageous - being able to go from sound sleep to being able to see well enough to get a bead on a threat, not having anything in the way of your face, etc. But you will definitely need sunglasses afterward, and reading glasses eventually (should you live long enough).<br />There are also eye exercises (and eye exercise equipment) you can do to improve your vision a little - it works best for the younger crowd but everyone can gain a little improvement.<br />Eyes(glasses, sunglasses,safety glasses, reading glasses), <br />ears (earplugs, earmuffs, avoiding loud sounds, practice listening in quite environments, etc.), <br />nose (quit smoking now, and start growing mint or mentholatum type herbs, etc),<br />Hands (wear gloves when working with heavy or coarse materials, practice feeling vibrations and fine detail).<br />Your senses are your second warning of threat and your ability to manage your response to threat. Your first warning is your brain in either reason or intuition. <br />Practice with all of these things, and protect their sensitivity. This could be more important than being able to bench press twice your own weight - and if you want to practice you can make a more entertaining game of it. <br />Your hands, feet, and teeth come in next in importance.<br />Never punch some one or something with and empty unprotected fist, wear gloves when needed for safety, don't let your hand be in a position that it can be pinched or crushed. Same for your feet - and don't forget to practice dexterity drills with both sides feet and hands (why bend over and risk your back to pick something up to 6 inches above the floor when you can use your foot? First time my back went out I found this a very useful skill.)<br />Keep you teeth gums and tongue clean sharp and mineralized. If you might bump your head hard a bite guard might be called for.<br />Lots of little things that we take for granted now can be cheaply stocked up to preserve and maintain these body parts that are so important now and during/after a collapse.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.com
