Root Canal from Hell

Well, my teeth started to hurt about 4 days ago and yesterday, they REALLY started to hurt. I called my dentest yesterday and got a Root Canal TODAY. While I do appreciated the prompt apt, IT HURT LIKE CRAZY!! The dentist had a problem finding the root due to the crown and there was NOT enough novacane so I made a small screem. He said to stop screaming and I said " I do not want to scream." His reply "Then don't!"
I had to go to 4 Pharmacies to get the Percocet. The pharmacy tech states the govt is clamping down on the issuance of this drug since its an opiate. It was the worst Root Canel I can remember but its over
I was luck the pain has died down but I am so tired. No work for me tomorrow! Above is the step by step process from the X-Ray from LEFT to RIGHT.
Oh by the way you can look at Flower Show photos on Picasa

No Stimulus $$$$$$$ for Cumberland County

This just shows how INEFFECTIVE our representatives are. I mean NOT a RED CENT. Here is an article from the Daily Journal. Pay attention to the Comments. They make sense.

County wants stimulus money

Legislators: Cumberland deserves a piece of the pie

By JOEL LANDAU • Staff Writer • March 9, 2009

South Jersey legislators whose district includes Vineland and Millville are asking Gov. Jon Corzine why he doesn't plan to use any federal stimulus money toward transportation projects in Cumberland County.Sen. Jeff Van Drew and Assemblymen Nelson Albano and Matt Milam, all Democrats representing the state's 1st Legislative District, faxed a letter to the governor's office Saturday.

The legislators noted the state will receive $894 million in transportation funds from the federal stimulus bill, but none of that money is directed for Cumberland County.

"This decision treats Cumberland County unfairly, and we find it hard to believe no Cumberland County projects were among the 55 chosen to receive nearly $1 billion," the lawmakers wrote. "To put it simply, the decision is unacceptable."

Corzine spokesman Robert Corrales said Sunday the governor's office had not yet received the letter but would review it shortly.

The legislators asked the governor to place some of the money into the county, noting it would create much-needed jobs and economic development.

Milam, a member of the Assembly's Transportation, Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee, said he also would question state Transportation Commissioner Stephen Dilts when the commissioner testifies before the committee Thursday.

"The federal stimulus package is a golden opportunity to create jobs, spark our economy and reshape our state's future during this difficult time, but that will only happen if everybody benefits, the legislators wrote.

Transportation projects that did make the list for stimulus funds include replacing two drawbridges that span Ocean City and Somers Point at a cost of $70 million; a $5.9 million resurfacing project for the White Horse Pike in Hammonton and Mullica; and an $80 million plan to rehabilitate an eight-mile stretch of Interstate 295 in Camden and Gloucester counties.

Maybe if Van Drew spent more time lobbying on behalf of his district and less time introducing hundreds of pieces of pointless legislation we would be better off. Cumberland County getting shortchanged is also a consequence of our county and state legislators being influenced by outside forces especially Camden County. When our state and County legislators accept all this outside money it severely comprises their ability to fight for us. Quite blunty, the people in power don't take them seriously as they know where their contributions are coming from. So, look for Van Drew to start cursing and Albano, Milam, and Magazzu to squawk. Look for a few crumbs to come our way, so as to give the appearance that these guys are "fighting for us". But never forget that Cumberland County residents will always be getting shortchanged until we get new independent leadership that is beholden only to people in the county.

The state probably thinks they are doing us a favor by letting us raise the PRISON populations' families. We need barbed wire not road repairs ?
They'll point to the Abbott money and say , you people are greedy, while the gansters shoot up our towns.

Two reason we didn't get any money from the state: 1. Sweet Lou is a NOBODY outside of this county despite what he thinks about himself. 2. No one cares about this county... including Lou. This should come as no surprise to anyone. The state has no reason to invest in this county. Sad, but true.

Fithian Houses on Pine

Here is an article from 1951 that shows that our house
was built by the Fithian Brothers. Not sure its easy to read but
its interesting

Flower Show ETC..

Well, I am now at St. Mary's church in Philly. I just helped a friend do his taxes and they were pretty easy.I was let out of work at the flower show early due to business being slow. The same family members were there whith some girlfriends and friends. Only one other person working is from Philadelphia and that is Linda who I knew from working the Annenburg Center 20 years ago. I have lost most of not all my OT which will mean that I will make half but half a loaf is better then none. The press release for the Fithian House is out and we will see.
Going to Dalak for a cold one then to bed since I must return to the flower show by 8am to move stuff out of the truck and stand on my feet for 10 hr or so

March 2nd: A Snowy Day

Hi I ended not being needed at the Philadelphia Flower Show today. I then drove baaak to MillVILLE this morning. I ripped off old wood paneling to the downstairs bath. You must see the video at the bottom of this entry and see the glorious action. We then went to Lowes to get paint etc to beautify this 1st floor bathroom. I am in Millville and going to find out at 6am or so if I need to drive back to Philly for the flower show. Last night during the blizzard talked with my sister for over an hour. It helped me get though the blizzard. At our house 2 neighbors came over to help and the contractor came by as well. Here are some photos. My question, would you pay $18 Nick Asselta speak? Myself, well, nope.

New Look and New Snow to Start March

Its snowing out pretty good. Before the snow we finished painting the living room and put on a boarder. Our neighbor really helped out with this chore and had the patience to see it though. We used a paper cutter and a paint tray. Its harder then it looks...REALLY. I went to NY Style Pizza to get us some veggie pizza. Man, that was quite good and there are plenty of leftovers too!
Well I am getting ready to mail bills get packed to head off to Philly. Its gonna be a slow ride
