Well I can almost hear the 5:00 work whistle so I'm headed out of here. Everyone have a wonderful evening!
And I know you lovely ladies that live further south don't care, but for those of us stuck up North in the dark. YAHOO!!! Daylight savings time starts this weekend!
Eek! I sure am glad you told me!What kind of on Ortho would tell you that??Oh man!!! I remember how much it HURT having my braces put on! My DARN ortho told my mom not to take it easy on me, and to feed me STEAK the day they were put on!I am a giant wimp, and ended up crying myself to sleep that night!
Yeah, I am definitely GOING to Disneyland... still debatable if I am coming back!
You, and all cancer patients deserve something like this!!!So today I signed up for a couple of breast cancer retreats. Who knew all you had to do to get a free vacation was have cancer?!
I'm an now officially on the list to go to a Casting for Recovery vacation where I will learn to fly fish and have a fun weekend relaxing with other breast cancer patients (either in Bend, OR; near Mt. Rainier, WA or in Elkton, OR (southern OR)). But so many women sign up for these that they usually end up drawing names to decide who gets to go.
I've also signed up for another retreat called Harmony Hill that is on Hood's Canal. They teach stress reduction skills, guided imagery, yoga, massage, and cooking with natural foods.
A MEAN old man!What kind of on Ortho would tell you that??
Well this time it has nothing to do with age, cuz I had spacers for my teeth back when..........whatever!The first time I got braces (I think I was 12yo?) my teeth were so crammed tight in my mouth that the orthodontist had to use a mallet to club the brackets onto my teeth, and then a crowbar kind of thing to pry them off if they were too big or too small.
I found out from friends who had braces that their orthodontists used 'spacers', little bits of rubber shoved in between their teeth a week or two before the braces were put on, to make a little room for fitting the brackets.
But that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was getting them removed. You'd think it would be the happiest day, but having that **** doc crowbar these now cemented braces off my teeth was absolute torture! It felt like he was yanking them right out of my head! And in fact I have tiny fractures in my teeth because of it. What an idiot!
No wonder I was not eager to go another round with braces! But thank goodness a lot has changed in 30 years, and I think my ortho back then was a neanderthal for that time...
Not if you go to bed early.
I will say that alot has changed though as far as how braces look. I had to have spacers on every tooth, cuz back then every tooth had a band around it. Even the front ones. Those were the real rail-road tracks then. Geesh!!
I dint even know they did that! Mine were clear... just clear little dealy mabobs on my teeth. Plus I had little hook on them that I had to wear tiny rubber bands on them. The only banded teeth were in the back.
What kind of on Ortho would tell you that??
I don't know. He's right up there with the dentist who didn't use novocaine when he drilled.A MEAN old man!
