BAMM!!Looks like I get a good day!! YAY!!
Double yay Michael. Hope it's a good day all,day long for you.
Well,Tina always said I was older than dirt and now I see I am. I remembered 23 of the items!!!!
Michael You look great today and I hope you enjoy your day.
Dianne Well, I've heard of all of them even if I have no personal experience with some of them. I am, however, still old as dirt, too.
Tina How is your mouth today?
I got a note from Tina that she wrote late last night after sleeping upon her return from the dentist.
They did a root canal on a bottom tooth just to find that it was a top tooth that had the problem...the staff all stayed late and took care of the problem and she is out of pain....
Michael OMG! How the hell does that happen?
I already know I am older than dirt. Like J/L, I know what all those are even if I have not had personal experience with some of them. I still have some 45rpm records, though I have nothing on which to play them. In fact, now that I am reminded of them, I should probably get rid of them.
Michael, thanks for the update on Tina. I hope she doesn't have to pay for that accidental root canal.
Dianne & J/L, we are in the same old boat, but I think I am the older Captain!
Hi, Owls! Just wanted to swoop in and thank you for your support and good wishes for me and my family this week. You are an amazing flock!
Bear So very, very sorry for your loss. (((HUGS)))
J/L....
I am sure Tina will be able to explain it better...
Whabbear....very sorry to hear of your loss...heartfelt condolences...
TINA: YIKES about the root canal in the wrong tooth..that's a nightmare! I'm glad you're feeling better..but geez..ankle kicks to the dentist..in BOTH ankles!
BEAR: My heart just goes out to you..I'm so sorry for your loss.
TINA: I've heard of just about all of those things..my mom loved Blackjack gum..she liked Clove gum too. I loved candy cigarettes! My memory is so bad anymore that I'm actually surprised I remember any of them!
MICHAEL: YAY! Your BAMM is of Olympic quality today! :D
DI: I know this won't surprise you a bit..we found three full books of S&H green stamps over the weekend..I wonder if we can still trade them in for anything? :D
J/LIN: There are days when I sure feel older than dirt!! ;)
BARB: I have a bunch of 45's..I collected them for years..I also still have a record player..bring yours over and we can sock slide! :D
Oh my hell....slept again when I got home from werk~ Michael dear...I only had one root canal~ I was going to get the bottom tooth done, whole bottom of my mouth was numbed...but that's when we realized it was the top tooth that needed to be done....so he numbed the top...and took care of the top tooth....and called today to see how the bottom one felt...I'm just sore from all the needle prodding...all is good~
Bear~ not sure what is going on....but I'm pretty sure prayers are needed~
Michael~ so sexy in first this moaning~
Di~ yes ur older than dirt~
u2 J/L~ :)~
Sackie~ Loved all my old 45's~
Zona~ I hit the dentist 2 times...missed on the third try~ He kinda liked me~ :D
see how she writes....don't you gather from her post that she had a root canal and work on the top...
I only had one root canal...
oh shuddup......it's the lortab and now i've got a cold.....root canal on top tooth only.....ga!!!~
Tina I always especially hated the shots but soooo glad you only had to have one root canal. That was a close call.
Michael What I gather from what she wrote is that she was hitting on the dentist. ;)
Zona LOL @ finding S & H green stamps! I don't think I've seen those since the late 50's or early 60's. My mom used to collect them. I guess everyone did.
