And then, to top off the day....

I had to stop at the store on the way home. Among the things I needed was more denture adhesive. In my ongoing quest to chew without losing my lower plate, I was examining several labels closely when an older lady behind me piped up.

"Oh, don't guess! Call whoever you're buying that for and find out what brand they use!"

I laughed, and tried to explain that I was the denture wearer, but she refused to believe me. I practically had to pull out the lowers and show her before she'd believe I wore false teeth.

You think most people would accept "Thanks, but I'm looking for my own use. I lost my teeth to illness." and move on.

Some people are stubborn. And it is unusual for someone as young as you to have dentures.

I sent you a Traveller-related email, BTW, to the email listed in your LJ account (the mindspring address I had for you bounced). If you didn't get it, email me at first.last@gmail.com from the account I should send it to…

My friend Sue was terrified of dentists. When she finally went into see one after many years not, they told her that she needed to have 2-3 of them out right away, and would probably lose the rest of them over the next 10 years. She went ahead and elected to remove them immediately rather than endure going in over and over again. She was in her early 30s at that time.

People. Can't live with them, can't put them all on boats and push them out to sea.

Yes you can. You just need the will, and a gun to make them get on the dinghy.
