I think this is the point where I tell the story of getting tylenol with codeine after having my wisdom teeth pulled. My grandmother flushed them immediately when I got home!! And then I got a dry socket, which is, like the worst pain ever.

I have to admit, I did not take the vicodin after having my root canal, because it didn't really hurt that badly, but I have stashed it for the next pain problem.

I always fill the script. Just in case.

I always fill the script. Just in case.

Oh hell, yes.

I always fill the script. Just in case.

And then use it when I need a very very very good night's sleep. Or when my neck twinges from carrying the baby around.

I've never been given anything stronger than a Tylenol 3. (Tylenol with Codeine) I think my high pain threshold keeps me from rating any pain higher than a 7 and it screws me every time.

Sue, do you also have trouble rating movies on Netflix-- I give movies I like a 2 1/2 or 3. It takes a lot to be a 4 star movie for me. But it screws me in the recommendations, I think.

I don't have Netflix, but I generally have a hard time giving full marks to anything. It must be my hypercritical Virgo nature.

I am also a Virgo, and I never give full marks! Although now that I calculate professor's evaluations, I feel bad, because almost everyone gives the highest mark, and, in fact, you are supposed to have 90% at a 4 or 5 for everything. I used to do well thought out answers for each question on the eval, along with wirtten comments. I bet the admin hated me!

I always give the pain and the movies slightly higher numbers than it deserves, but that would be my passionate scorpio nature.

I tend to lowball the pain. When I had my surgery, I kept telling them I didn't need pain meds. Finally the nurse said "I'm not asking you if you can bear it, I'm asking if you feel any pain at all" and I said "well yeah, it hurts but I can deal." She then made me take some drugs.
