Thanks for sharing. I finished yet another book. I'm enjoying the time away from TV now that all my favorite shows are on break and getting a lot of reading done.
wamster Champion Author Houston Posts:4,418 Points:720,340 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: May 20, 2013 7:42:28 AM Ignore wamster Report Abuse My friend of 36 years got her remaining teeth pulled, and received her new teeth/partials on Thursday. What a lovely after Mothers' Day present! It's so wonderful to think of her smiling instead of her covering her mouth because she only had a few bottom teeth, and only 4 uppers remaining in the back of her mouth. I could hear the joy in her voice when she called me. I've been able to understand her speaking because I've known her for so long; but now everyone can understand her. :) For those of you that don't know, or remember, I secretly paid for her dental work after I found out what dentist she was going to. I worked out a deal with them to tell my friend a local family in town helps low income people with their dental care. I didn't want her to feel obligated to me, and I knew she was too proud to accept my assistance, since she already owes me some money for a vehicle I helped her purchase. ------------------------------------------------------ I've been blessed to finally have found a job close by to help me with my expenses, after being unemployed for two years. So what if I have to work an extra 2 or 3 years to help my friend.
