I am the happy beneficiary of a couple of implanted teeth, and I am delighted with them. I had to walk half-way across Tijuana and back about ten times to get the job done (in exchange for significant cost savings) but the technical expertise and clinical competency was first-rate. If it were only cheaper, I'd get 'em ALL done. They stay where they're put, don't decay, and titanium doesn't get cavities.

I really appreciate the sorry state of affairs expressed by Lynne and others. There's just as much wink-power inside, but the advertising has gone to hell. :D

The other side of it is that all the bright and lovely young people I encounter, even the nicest and smartest, strike me as woefully lacking in experience. I seem to know much more about the world and its ways than they do, I wonder what's wrong with 'em. Then I recall that an awful lot of older folks were very tolerant of my own empty-headed brassiness when I was in my teens and twenties, and offer a small prayer of thanks to them for being so tolerant!! It is really a crackup watching them torque up over situations that seem much less dramatic or difficult to me.

I guess that's why they make managers out of the old farts.

Jeri, I do not know where your pubic hair went. I wasn't watching.
