Had all my uppers out years ago. I find it easier to eat without my denture than with it.
Good night, phartz. I'm off to bed.
No comprende, amigo... I have the same dentures that I got the day of the surgery and that was 41 years ago -- no refit required. I have never used a denture adhesive and I can eat a raw apple, corn on the cob (though I quit corn for other health reasons) or anything I used to eat with real teeth. Why is it that so many denture wearers seem to have problems?I find it easier to eat without my denture than with it.
I had every tooth in my mouth pulled the same day and the top and bottom full dentures were in my mouth when I woke up. How is it they aren't making a mold of her mouth before removing the teeth?
Hittin the ole sack...have a fantastic Tuesday.
Hope there is no snow in the Dakotas tomorrow...or anywhere else for that matter.

I used to have an argument with one of my aunts who refused to wear her teeth because they were "annoying." She only put them in at meal time and spent the rest of her life being Mrs. Gummy. The deal is that the teeth don't change, but the shape/size of your gums is what changes. So how can you avoid that? Don't take the teeth out and your gums will stay the same shape as the bottom of those dentures. Oh, yeah, I take them out to brush them a couple times a day, but then they go right back in. Everyone has seen on TV that you put them in a glass of water when you go to bed. Nope! I wear mine ALL the time. My mouth has not changed shape and my dentures still fit fine after 41 years. I had to see a dentist for bone check before having my knees replaced and she had a fit when I told her I never take them out. I looked her right in the eye and asked, "So did you find anything wrong with my gums or jaw bones? ANY thing?" "Well, no, but..." "But, my ass, lady. You want me to follow YOUR rules so you can make more money selling me new teeth every few years and these work perfectly." Well, not entirely true... they are made of plastic and I have used my Dremel tool a couple times to sharpen them, but nothing was ever required for the fit.The molds have already been done Draconigena, so they could make the denture. The fitting part tomorrow is when the denturist makes sure the denture fits properly and adjusts it if that's required. There will be a couple more adjustment visits over the next year as her mouth heals and things settle down. After that she should be good for a few years or until it becomes loose enough to be a problem.
Time will tell how things will work out for her
What were you washing, Bob?Hello. Ryedan and Dale.
Not a bad day here today started out below freezing but got up to close to 60. And no rain or anything but windy.
Got a few things done outside.
Tried out my new pressure washer. Worked fine.

Howdy, Ryedan.......
Yep, I keep forgetting we have to go through that routine this day and age.......Nothing in particular just wanted to make sure the pressure washer worked before I actually needed to use it on something.
So I could return it if necessary.

Damn, hope the weather is on your side SOON...!Well, here's today's report:
I found a door to match the homestead cabin (well, almost). After removing it from the carriage room, I had to drag it to the shop (Lannie helped) and cut off 3/4" from the bottom, then we took it back out to hang it. Lannie was trying to hold it up, fighting the wind, while I screwed the hinges to the door frame, which I had to do left-handed. This, of course, aggravated my existing shoulder pain (rotator cuff never has healed), so I can hardly use my left arm right now, and Lannie got a bit of bicep burn fighting the wind while holding that heavy old door, so she's not real happy either, but we got the damn door installed. I couldn't put on a door knob today, so I just attached a temporary eye hook and covered the doorknob hole with duct tape. Why? Because the weather guessers blew it again and the week of nice weather we were supposed to have isn't happening. It is raining right now and when the temperature drops a couple more degrees, it will become snow. I do not expect more than an inch or so of accumulation tonight, but I didn't want it blowing through the door knob holes and wetting our saddles.
Off to do a little research on what's new in the world of chargers

Chargers? I have a Trustfire TR2 I have been using for close to 3 years and I also have a couple of the old style I2 chargers. Intellichargers I think?
Just idiot lights on them.

Evening Old Pharts
I went to the doc a couple years ago and, of course, they wanted to do surgery. I was tired of having those butchers cut me open for every little sliver I get, so I asked to be sent up to physical therapy to talk to them. The PT guy gave me a print out of exercises and a large red rubber band to use. After about three months, it really was better, then I futched it up again, so I started back in with the exercises and it got better after another 3-4 months, then I screwed it up again. Seems that every time I think I have it fixed, I do some dumb ass thing here to mess it up again. Sigh...if you're not doing regular rotator cuff exercises you might give that a thought. IMO that made all the difference for me.
Hmmm... well, given that, at the time I got my mouth excavated and the plastic teeth put in, I couldn't afford a real dentist or denturist, so it was all done at a dental college. If poor dentistry was likely, that would have been the place to get it, yet I am the only one I know who doesn't have problems.Poor dentistry is most of the reason people have problems
Hi Ryedan yeah it's just a little better still a lot of pain though, especially in the ACL. How you doing tonight my friendEvening Jimi. Hope you're feeling better today!
Just a wee bit been soaking in epsom salts twice a day and that helps the most, well other than the pain pills.Hi Jimi....how's the knee today, better (I hope)?
a dual and quad nitecore
I've got a dual nitecore and a luc 4 both have served me well and still working fineI've had the same two chargers for the last four years, a dual and quad nitecore.
No problems to report.
I haven't been able to trust dentists for decades. They're like some of the kids these days. They do as little as possible, and expect a wad of cash for their efforts. When I go to a dentist to have a tooth pulled, it does NOT mean I want my teeth cleaned instead.Poor dentistry is most of the reason people have problems
Well, your luck there was much better than the current weather....Hmmm... well, given that, at the time I got my mouth excavated and the plastic teeth put in, I couldn't afford a real dentist or denturist, so it was all done at a dental college.

Sound like me and my knees, just keep screwing them up.I went to the doc a couple years ago and, of course, they wanted to do surgery.

Yeah, I agree, those folks are scavengers when it comes to money....!I haven't been able to trust dentists for decades. They're like some of the kids these days.
