Stas,
I meant a slightly different carrot. ;)
Here's the one that's hard in our pants every morning. I'm not sure if your dentures still want to handle it. ;))
Well, dirty old Sysops need love, too...but I'm not into that. As a
side note, it's not just becoming sexually excited (or using Viagra)
that produces an erection. Pressure from the urinary bladder can also
cause that to happen as well. But, as you get older, incontienence
sets in (sometimes on both sides)...and if you cough or sneeze, you
end up soiling your undergarments. As comedian Jeff Foxworthy noted,
"you've got the young ones coming out of diapers, with the old ones
going into them!!". Indeed, whether young or old...success is defined
as not peeing or pooping in your pants. :P
A couple of days ago, I showed my eleven-year-old son how to cook
chicken fillet very tasty and very tender on charcoal in five minutes.
We say - "eat with your lips".
When I had all my teeth removed 21 years ago (I've worn full dentures
ever since...my own set of falsies <G>), the diet of scrambled eggs,
mashed potatoes, ice cream, and other soft foods, got OLD in a hurry.
While I can "gum" stuff if needed, I prefer to have my choppers in.
When my local dentist 12 years ago wanted over $2000 for a new set,
I found a place called "Affordable Dentures", and got a basic upper
and lower set for around $450. I didn't care what they looked like...
I just wanted to be able to eat.
The thing is, they look surprisingly real...and the current pair
has lasted me over 8 years. Plus, they fit so perfectly that I don't
need any adhesive (Fixodent, Poli-Grip, etc.) on them. I do have to
be careful when I sneeze or cough, so they don't fly out of my mouth,
though. :P I do have dental insurance now, which would help on any
repair costs. When I had to repair a chipped tooth on the lower
denture, that cost $125!!
