'You guys may not know but I have more fingers than I do teeth. Most are broken and nasty after 50+ years of chewing on bacon. I've been mistaken as an Englishman on a few occasions!

I've been trying to get dentures with my dental insurance. They are supposed to cover 75% of the denture costs while I have to pay for the temporaries after they are pulled. I pay hundreds of $$ a year for this privileged.'

That made me laugh. Are the English that notorious?
Dental charges here are high too...I have a mouth full of gold caps, crowns, implants bridges.
A lot of money both to maintain insure.

My days of chomping on anything too hard are over
 
if i still had my equipment i would make you some teeth njaco.....my suggestion is to check out the carolinas. they used to take bus tours down there to a couple HUGE dental facilities. people would get their teeth pulled and dentures fitted in a weekend ( <<< actually not the best thing to do but.... ). iirc the prices for the plates were dirt cheap. so if you have to buy them yourself might be worth your while. its either that or start dating a gal that owns a dental lab.....

Who did we tick off this time to get the price hike? Got in an "I'm right because I'm the parent and can do no wrong" talk with parents...

It's up nearly 50 cents since yesterday morning. Local newspaper is blaming the temporary closing of two refineries in the Illinois area that supplies much of the midwest with fuel. Supposed to be down at least until summers end. Sounds awful suspicious to me, close two refineries in the summer travel months, hike the cost of a gallon of gas for the summer. And to add insult to injury the Minnesota Senate is proposing a new hike in the state fuel tax, Brilliant!!!
I never was one much for oil company conspiricies to gouge the public, but I am starting to think twice about it.
 
Seems that hybrids or small efficient diesels are the way to go...
Low road tax ( emissions based) and good mpg.
But....so, boring.
Hey ho
I don't know about America but we have a speed camera around every corner.
 
Getting to be that way around here too. Not just speed cameras, but red light cameras that will also cite you if you stop with your bumper over the line are REALLy annoying!
 
It's getting so silly over here, with cameras all over the place - in my town, we have CCTV cameras watching the CCTV cameras that are watching the streets !

Jump red lights or be an amber gambler or speed at your peril here too Matt. I have the licence points to prove my transgressions....
It was a bit hairy on 9 points but, I have managed to get down to a more civilised 3 these days.
 
Just did a SWAT (police Special Weapons and Tactics) bust on a house just up the street in my relatively quiet neighborhood. Part of a gang task force effort county wide to sweep up gang drug dealers. After it was over, they announced the use of cameras to gather evidence. They were placed at the top of street lights looking just like photovoltaic sensors for darkness, but just very, very slighly larger containing a panning camera to watch the residence from public right-of-way street. Kinda scary **** that is.
 

Scary if you have something to hide I guess Matt.
 
What's really annoying about red light cameras are the short green right turns and you get someone in front dilly dallying and leaves you with your a$$ in the intersection....................... 400 F'n dollars!!!!!

Now I've learned my lesson of doing manual lifting work past 65 the hard way!
6th of June rotator cuff surgery........ six weeks in a sling, 24 hours a day, then physical therapy......... Looks like about 8 weeks with no model building, unless I can find a way to build one handed........ !
