My bet is that Hopper doesn't know how to tie a double Windsor...

Yes But if he did it would most likely look like that one LOL

If there was something around Hopper's neck, it would most likely look like this:

thanks Brother JD , it is going to be a journey

can you imaging , old bad teeth removed , titanium posts are drilled into the bone

the surgeon was explaining the procedure to me about the titanium posts and how he likes to feel the strong torque on his drill when screwing in the posts

so yeah , he removes the bad teeth , drills and installs the posts , sews everything up , and , get this , my new teeth are installed the same day

of course there is a lot of follow up in fine tuning everything , gonna take 3-5 months if all goes well , which is ok with me cause i am so sick and tired of toothaches and having needles poked in my gums , it makes me bum pucker up just thinking about the shots

and now a word from my Sponsor.

A friend of mine just went for implant, single tooth. Added to the fun of x rays, which showed bone loss. Even though he was only getting one implant, it was delayed for a procedure where they graft cadaver bone in there, and that has to be fully healed, then the screw can be put in. When he talked about torquing it in, that's true, but with out adequate bone structure, you can't torque.

With all that, the single tooth plus procedures got very expensive, about 8k.
Hopefully, both your bone structure and checkbook hold out! Amazing what these sawbones do nowadays.

It would probably have 13 coils though.

I paid $22K to have my uppers pulled, with implants and a plate.

Sounds pretty reasonable. Did you have bone loss problems like my office guy? They had to do bone grafts with cadaver bone.

No, I had plenty of bone, but the titanium implants ultimately failed and I had some cadaver bone installed where they were removed.

Bwahaha... thinking the same thing...think they got that rope from a NASCAR garage.

But did the sun shine at least? Did you stay warm? Did you have an extra doobie prepared in the old tackle box for the hot dog wire job that got you back to shore? How about a sandwich and a nice thermos of coffee?

The woman's touch. Golden.

Melissa likes to get between me and my keyboard as well. I like the Polycarbonate cover solution and will find/make one.

Fuzzy looks a lot like Melissa, who also makes a bee line for my lap when I sit in my recliner.

Snicker, snark, snort! If everyone could be a Marine, we wouldn't be the Marines.

The few, the proud, the Marines are by their very nature limited to only a few good men.

Meh. Sumbody in my Family already had the Marines' top slot, so I hadda go elsewhere.

 

[Unca Walt]

I am with Unca on the pain…dont givashit so i will keep on trucking

tomorrow is D-Day the D is the dentist/oral surgeon……dude is from France and been doing this gig for over 20 years so i feel like i am in pretty good hands

he has got to remove 22 of my sorry teeth , that would be all i have left

anyway , its a 2 1/2 hour drive , surgery is at 7:30 am so we will get up about 3 am to get ready……gonna be a long arse 48 hours

Good Fortune, Brother.

My daughter and wife both had to have that done......no fun.

Here are my maters.....17 days from seed.

I am lucky with my teeth but we all have axes to grind. My back has been a major problem as long as I can remember. I tell my docs about it and it seems to go in one ear and out the other. Takes me awhile to get going in the morning.

Ya gotta stop spooning with Hippie.

 

[Unca Walt]

Unca needs his cat there to help with spelling…

I'm pretty sure typing in that position would add to my spelling creativity.........

Youse guys is spot on.

I touch type at a slow speech pace... @75 wpm. I could never be a sekkatary, but it works just fine for writing. But it did give me one fantastic coincidence:

I was happily typing away in the semi-dark, with Fuzzy on my lap. I had typed the first four letters of the word "agurgling" and stopped because it was going to sound orotund ornate.

My hands had shifted a letter to the right from the "home row" on the keyboard.

Up on my screen: ****

 

[WeedHopper]

I still have all but like 5 of my teeth. I think the Plaque holds them in.

 

[Unca Walt]

i have all three books and i loved Bat and Baloon War , this story needs to be made into a movie , i couldnt stop reading once i picked up the book

You guys're gonna get us all in trubble. I'm gonna send any of the .99c's to MJPassion if there are any.

I really appreciate the lovely reviews. Not for advertising, but for the fact you guys liked it. Sorta like sumbody admiring a painting.

It is not fair to the owners, though.

Good morning peoples. Big I’ve been going to the dentist every other week for a while now, but I’ve never had all my teeth polled like you’re going to have done. I do have an implant, but I was fortunate enough to be completely sedated when they put it in. I read waltz, bats and balloons book years ago and was quite impressed. Subbie, ask Walt about Sharkey. Now that’s a story that never seems to end

(*snork*) It's Starkey. And if the Beautiful Witch finds out the Starkey Stories are getting out, I will most ricky-tick get in deep trubble. I gotta keep my Teddy Bear on.

"With deep stupidity goes deep responsibility." <-- I want that on my pyramid.

Wait. I could tell the Showdown In The Pulqueria! <-- If I could ever find it again.

I wuz gonna point that out but din' want to appear picky. Here's some jewelry in the spirit of the thang:

the MRI showed i have good bone structure and he does not see any need for grafts

but you are spot on , the graft must heal before the post can be installed and if i am not mistaken , i think that it is about 3-4 months before it heals

thanks everyone for the good vibes and kind words
