Crunch Pop Jaw
So I got my second root canal filled in today. While at the dentist they noticed that I couldn't open my jaw very far without popping it really bad.
I think that has something to do with either being skittish around other people (especially other people touching me in the face) or something with being leaning back in the dentist chair.
They asked me the last time I noticed the jaw pop problems and I told them that it was nothing I would normally notice, but I was making out with a girl a few years ago and my jaw popped a few times while we were kissing (so gross).
I wonder if my jaw is totally screwed? Or only screwed when nervous? or horizontal? or horizontal and nervous?
I so have screwed myself over physically :( Worse yet, there is no need to live that way anymore...it should not be hard to eat healthy, exercise daily, and find purpose in life away from the computer. Or should it? I feel like a whiner who does not even know what he is whining about...

The true “military spirit”, also called “patriotic spirit” and in Prussia-Germany “spirit of loyalty to the King”, means in brief a readiness at any time when so ordered to strike at the external and internal enemy. In order to produce this spirit the most perfect stupidity is needed, or at least the lowest possible level of intelligence. This makes it possible to drive on the masses like a herd of cattle in whatever direction is dictated by the interests of the “existing order”. The confession of the War Minister, von Einem, that he preferred a soldier loyal to the King, even if he were a bad shot, to one who was less submissive, even if he were a good shot, surely sprang from the depths of the heart of this representative of German militarism.

Read that comment when u first left it :)
so true
Sorry to hear about that - hope you're feeling better after the canal.
Re: the jaw pop - do you grind your teeth at all when sleeping? TMJ wouldn't have to be very noticeable at all to cause a problem in that area. I used to grind my teeth pretty bad in my sleep & my jaw used to slightly pop out while awake when moving it in some positions.
Good for you about the health posts! The first time or two you posted about this a month or so ago it triggered that my priorities were getting off. Thanks, man
