I have a painful tooth that must come out (plea for help)
For several weeks now I've had a rotting tooth causing me a lot of pain, but I've been out of work since the beginning of March, and I've used up what little I've been able to save for all these months of temp work. I'm down to my last $20 and last roll of toilet paper. I haven't been able to pay my landlord for four weeks now. Worse, the one temp agency where I'd been getting jobs since November hasn't had a damn thing for me. Of the eight of them I'm signed on with, they're one of two that has even been trying. Last week they had a job for me (another low pay idiot job, but so what) but they wouldn't give it to me because of this tooth. They won't give me ANY work until it comes out and I can give them a doctor's note that all is well.
The first thing I did when I finally figured out this pain was a tooth (it had been root canaled many years ago, and until recently I've not had any pain in or around the tooth) was call on the dental school in the city. This tooth has been a mess for a long time, and with most of it broken off and rotting away below the gum line they won't have a student do it. They'll do the work, but a regular oral surgeon will do it, and they want a lot more money than the private oral surgeon near me who pulled the last of my teeth for my upper denture. Even finding this out took over two weeks.
This has been a problem tooth for a very long time, and I've known for a few years that it isn't likely to come out in one piece which makes me scared to death of getting a dry socket. I've had that twice before in the distant past and NEVER want to go through that agony again. It's a possibility though. The gum has receded so much around that tooth I don't even think they could put in a stitch. But if there's still infection they won't anyway.
I've been on antibiotics for almost two weeks now, but they don't seem to be doing much of anything, and now my cheek is a little swollen in the area of this tooth. The antibiotics are also making a mess of my whole digestive tract.
My regular oral surgeon will do it ASAP as an emergency visit, but I HAVE to pay him first, and there just isn't any way other than begging for help to scrape up the money. It will cost at least $400 or $450 to get it out, and I don't know what else they might charge like for x-rays or whatever.
I so desperately need work and had hoped that any day I'd get something from one of these agencies but there's been NOTHING. They've sent me on a few interviews, but nothing ever came of them (these days you have to compete with their other temp workers and interview for temp jobs).
Please, please, if anyone can donate for me to get this damn tooth out and a little something for more antibiotics (I have only two days left of them, but I can get a refill) and some toilet paper, more Advil, gas for the car or whatever until I get money coming in again I will be so grateful. I've put off asking for help hoping a job would materialize, but it hasn't, and now the pain is so bad I don't think I could even fake my way through one. And now the only agency I've been getting any work from at all for months won't even talk to me until this tooth comes out and I'm "fit to work" again. Yoshi also has food for about 2 or 3 weeks and I have a little food stamp money left though it never gets me through the whole month.
I think my old gofundme account still works...
https://www.gofundme.com/slumlord-escape
And my paypal is:
mytwowings@yahoo.com
Btw, my internet is shit since we switched to Xfinity, so I hope I'll still be able to get back in here. It's not been too bad the last few days since the wind has calmed down. Still, sometimes I just can't stay connected or it times out trying to get anywhere.
After all these weeks and weeks of nothing a job just HAS to come up soon for me!
Thank you a million times for any help anyone can offer!
I thought she was outed as a scam a year ago?

I'm down to my last $20 and last roll of toilet paper.
Back when she bragged about her income as a stripper, she told the DUmmies she used $10 bills for toilet paper.
Maybe someone can break that $20 into two tens for her.

That's where you are going to go with this?
Maybe you forgot the lengths misanthrope went to to try to help this person only to be harassed and threatened by this con artist?
You are pointing the finger in the wrong direction IMHO.
Helping people in need is one thing but this person has been lying to DU for quite some time now.

Find the nearest dental school. I'm sure there's plenty in Philly. They do work for free (sometimes you get what you pay for).

Then she could walk across campus to the doctor school and get her syph and clap treated as well. :rotf:
I would not want to be the dental student that does her mouth. Ain't a thick enough rubber glove for me to put my hands in her mouth. :rotf:
I bet she would demand a bernie supporter.

Well, it is true that an abscess can be life-threatening as well as painful. But given her history of scam and scum, the donation for the pulling would only be "safe" if: done on an in-kind basis rather than donating $$; with TTW sedated into unconsciousness; video "taped" from multiple angles so as to preclude claims of sexual or other physical abuse.
I doubt TTW would go with those conditions, but she is what she's made herself - a used up skank with a needle-free moral compass; unemployable; a scamster; irrational; potentially violent.
I've seen "homeless" people (or professional panhandlers) with dogs better behaved than TTW's apparently is.

15. i can't respond in the other thread but i was not 'slut-shaming' it was to show the inconsistent
stories
if you want to give money to people in need there are a lot of places it could go but i won't give money to someone that bragged about using money for tp
there are a lot of wonderful DU members and i hate to see them get used
demtenjeep (23,100 posts)
18. no it wasn't. i'm shocked you can't see what it was
this person constantly begging for money and rejecting all forms of help after previously bragging about using money as tp
that was my point.
but believe what you want
i can sleep at night
demtenjeep (23,100 posts)
23. i changed because a specific site forum and i was stupid in my original screen name
i am not bullying. i would give to those in real need
we did just last month and i brought a specific need and a real problem to du and many people stepped up to the plate. one of my students killed himself and his family had no funds to bury him. a lot of us gave. it was a real need.
this ttw stuff comes up all the time taking away from those with serious real needs.
so when someone brags about wiping their bum with 10 bucks then regularly grifts for money with elaborate unbelievable stories i just try to point them out.
du has helped me when i started my blankets for ronnie project. that was legitimate. ttw-i don't feel is legitimate

10. i thought she had dentures
i can't find it now but somewhere today i read where she was complaining about the paste/glue not fitting and how her dentures felt like they were made for someone two sizes different
but i am not sweating it. i got a hide on the other thread for mentioning something she said. i was called sexist so i guess a female calling out another female is misogyny
grifting takes work i guess..

Help with bills
I have three bills that I just can't get under control. One is trying to finish paying the co-pay to the hospital. One is financial aide for school and the other one is medical bills for labs since the "network hospital and doctor" sent labs out of network.
I was in the hospital several times last year and early this year. As a result, I have used up all of my sick days. I have an incurable disease and have to have chemo every 6 weeks. I have to take a day or a 1/2 day on chemo days which costs my check anywhere from 100 to 300 each time I have to take off. It seems that when I start to think that I will have an extra 100 or two to make payments, I get so sick I have to use a day and go further into deduct.
Additionally, I often have to go to work sick since if I call in it is an automatic deduct of 300 dollars each time.
I am trying to pay off 3 bills that would ease my finances AND my emotional stress which in turn will help my disease.
$ 288.90 is the last of the hospital co-pay it was 3,000.00
$ 1400.00 Financial aide (student loan that is way behind)
$ 460.00 Lab work bill for out of network labs of which I had no control
If a miracle happens and I can get help with these lingering bills, I will pay it forward as much as I can.

DENTAL HELP
I have been really sick almost to the point of losing my colon. In trying to deal with that I have almost hit the wall on my health insurance.
This illness and subsequent treatments have done a number on my teeth. I have 9 upper teeth left and 4 of those nine have serious issues. The other ones are starting to crumble as well.
I need help to remove my remaining upper teeth and then to get an upper dental plate.
Since the illness is taking all our money and I am soon to hit "the wall" there is no money for my teeth.

250. colloidal silver might help stop the infection
It might cost $10 or so at a health food store, but you can try this as a temporary solution.
I'm sorry about the lack of empathy for you situation.
Even if DUers were to think you are a scammer- for a total of $2,000! in over a year- you are one sorry scammer.
I'd think if you were a pro as some suggest, you would probably find a scam that pays better.
This current post has raised $105
To the mean DUers: I would think that having a heart and making sure your compassion stays intact is more important than the $10 you may have been scammed out of.
I often think of bobbolink who clearly needed help, perhaps had mental problems and communication issues...aren't those the people that need us the most?
People were so mean to her, they drove her from the site. She was homeless, yet working hard to raise awareness and help other homeless people. Now we have lost a great activist from the site.

260. You often think of bobbolink?! Jeez, so do I. She's another one who caused great division at DU...
Do you know someone from DU actually gave her a laptop computer to help her out? Or tried to. I didn't bookmark that thread, though I am sure someone here could find it. It just did not end well. Her "activism" consisted of viciously attacking anyone who disagreed with her on any point, even if they agreed with her in principal.
People are not "mean" when they invoke the adage (which my mother should have taught me for my own self-protection): Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
It's like with all other forms of abuse: The first order of business is to stop the abuse; only then can you go on to attempt to understand the poor widdle psyche of the abuser. Torch The Witch is a grifter -- she's abusing this community. I don't care what her underlying mental problems are at this point. She has made it abundantly clear long since that she will ignore every attempt to help that does not involve cash in her hand.

4. I feel your pain. I worked with a guy that was scared to death of doctors
and had a bad tooth. He actually wiggled it back and forth for a whole week until he was able to pull It with his fingers.
There was a bar near me where the bartender would pull your tooth for free, he had a whole jar of teeth on the bar that he had pulled.

11. Get some Anbesol, some good booze, and a lance.
Get as much cleared out with floss and over the counter dental picks. Are you eligible for medicaid?
The swelling could be that your tooth is becoming abscessed. Maybe you can lance it yourself and drain the puss.
I feel for you. That's some of the worst pain.

277. Upthread there's a link to a post by TTW claiming she has dentures and no more dental pain.Dentures.
Yeah, I know.
DU's records are a funny thing, if you know how to search them. They are an excellent aid to memory. After the donnybrook last August I bookmarked a couple of TTW threads for future reference, but I never saw the one about her dentures. This time I am bookmarking this thread as well.
She comes back every so often with a new story; all she wants is cash, not any other kind of assistance or advice, and she has proven to be dangerous to those who get involved in person. (I call an untrained Akita who threatens cats and humans dangerous, and a woman who files a police report on someone trying to help her likewise dangerous.)
My bet is she won't show up at PCIntern's office any time soon, and the story will be that her car broke down (send money) or her dog needs kibble (send money) or she can't use public transportation because of (reasons, but send money).
