Merry Christmas Brandon!

almost, its december 26th now,

guess its the thought

actually had our christmas a week ago though, so, today has been weird not doing anything.

[Asgard_thor]

I got a new phone, HTC Touch Pro
$100 for my mom
and saving that money for the rest I'll get for my birthday so my dad can put together my AR-15, so I can get a 40/40 on qualification at Basic :P

Glad to see most of you had a good christmas

if it means anything I didn't get any booty :P LOL, then again I don't have a gf/wife, dang lol

merry christmas to you all(especially movieman, gives him Cigs lol)

[strange|ife]

zune 120&belt clip, a Columbia jacket, a couple of sweaters. Left 4 dead pc, nail klipper kit

and a watch case to hold my time pieces..bought time!

I m dumb with Zune..first mp3 player lol! not kidding here. My music collection which is composed of all downloaded music is sorely sorely not organized with the meta tags, and I have alot of underground stuff, dnb, trance etc..no clip arts for that or real structure except folders . It's all relatively organized in folders..but yeah the zune software is being a biotch! Trying to get things nice and tidy with mp3tag, it's improving at least. I should have done some housekeeping with my music collection forever ago, just to lazy..and no need when just playing stuff on the puter through sound system and winamp

it's a cool device though

Thats not cool. At all.

I take it that's what the ban is for?

I think the best thing I got for Christmas was watching my 79 year old grandmother open her gifts... my dad and I splurged and got her an uber-awesome Cuisinart coffee maker because my dad and I drink a ton of the stuff when we go to her house. She got a bunch of other stuff too... elderly people gifts like electric blankets and slippers and stuff, but she was most excited about the coffee maker.

Mostly practical gifts for me, mom gave me free car insurance for a month (I pay whatever the rate increase is after she added me to her policy) and an Under Armour hoodie I've been eying up. A couple t-shirts too because I ran a stick of chapstick through the washing machine and ruined a bunch of my clothes. My dad got me a North Face soft shell jacket I had also been eying up along with matching under Armour sweat pants... a college kid can never have too many pairs of sweat pants. Aunts and cousins got me some dress clothes which are good to have for internships and whatnot.

Ugh! My 12 year old does that. Pens and gum!

Ugh! My 12 year old does that. Pens and gum!

I'm 21 and I still do that sometimes. I stopped chewing gum because I've got a TMJ disorder and it bothers my jaw joint, and if anything, I run a pencil through the laundry - engineering students don't work in pen.

[[XC] 2long4u]

I have TMJ too. Once in a while it flares up and I can barely eat.

[Polizei]

It's the worst... sometimes I get it from trying to eat too fast and then my jaw bothers me for a week.

[[XC] 2long4u]

I have it in both sides but the only one to really bother me is the right side. The last time it was bad was the worst so far. IIRC it hurt for three weeks.
It comes from two things, grinding and clenching.

[Sparky]

TMJ?

[[XC] 2long4u]

Wikipedia is a wonderful thing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMJ

The most common disorder of the TMJ is disc displacement. In essence, this is when the articular disc, attached anteriorly to the superior head of the lateral pteygoid muscle and posteriorly to the retrodiscal tissue, moves out from between the condyle and the fossa, so that the mandible and temporal bone contact is made on something other than the articular disc. This, as explained above, is usually very painful, because unlike these adjacent tissues, the central portion of the disc contains no sensory innervation.

In most instances of disorder, the disc is displaced anteriorly upon translation, or the anterior and inferior sliding motion of the condyle forward within the fossa and down the articular eminence. On opening, a "pop" or "click" can sometimes be heard and usually felt as well, indicating the condyle is moving back onto the disk, known as "reducing the joint" (disc displacement with reduction). Upon closing, the condyle will slide off the back of the disc, hence another "click" or "pop" at which point the condyle is posterior to the disc. Upon clenching, the condyle compresses the bilaminar area, and the nerves, arteries and veins against the temporal fossa, causing pain and inflammation.

In Disc displacement without reduction the disc stays anterior to the condylar head upon opening. Mouth opening is limited and there is no "pop" or "click" sound on opening.

TMJ pain is generally due to one of three reasons.

* The most common cause of TMJ pain is myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome, primarily involving the muscles of mastication.
* Internal derangements is defined as an abnormal relationship of the disc to any of the other components of the TMJ. Disc displacement is an example of internal derangement.
* Degenerative joint disease, otherwise known as osteoarthritis is the organic degeneration of the articular surfaces within the TMJ.
* TMJ pain remains one of the most reliable diagnostic criteria for temporal arteritis.

[Polizei]

TemperoMandibular Joint Disorder or something like that. Basically, mine and 2long's jaws don't line up right with the skull or something and excessive chewing/clenching aggravates the joint.

No clicking or popping here, just intense aches when chewing when it's aggravated.

[[XC] 2long4u]

Mine only clicks once in a while. If I don't be careful when it's clicking it will get inflamed really bad.

A q9550 and I am very grateful. Sana must have moved to 45NM since last year.

I got a 120 gig iPod, a camera and $25 from my grandma.

The ban is for a comment he made regarding advice he gave on how to perform a voilent DIY abortion. Very insensitive to Lestat.

[WeldZilla]

I got a 8mm for Christmas when I was 15. It was made in Spandau Germany in 1917. I sporterized the stock cuz my mom did not like the military gun.
I have taken many deer and elk with it over the years. My parents got from Montgomery Wards for $18.87 in December 1971. Prices have gone up a bit since then.
