Dentist VS Denturist (continued)

Posted byTime Traveler of LifePosted inUncategorized

I’ll bet you think the designations above are identical! They are a million miles apart!

A Dentist works on your natural teeth to keep them healthy.

A Denturist works to make “false teeth” function as your natural teeth would if they could. Don’t let anyone tell you, “It is your fault that you do not have beautiful, healthy teeth.” I was told more times than I care to remember that, “ir you had brushed your teeth!” and “you have buck teeth because you sucked your thumb!” Bull Pucky!

I had Rabbit Buck Teeth because nature decided to play a joke on me!” I don’t know if back in our history, some poor devils also had buck teeth, because we are English and English don’t talk about anything important.

I have the distinction of having songs written about my teeth! My favorite went something like this: Oh! Buck Teeth Jones, she rattles her bones. ”

And because those lovely teeth were in such bad shape, they were extracted, and bone surgery was done to give me a normal bite. I was fitted for a partial plate, but I had to heal from the surgery.

I was greeted with interesting comments upon starting high school toothless. IN the olden days, most schools celebrated Freshman Reception! I was “selected” to sing “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!” Our Freshman Reception was in the Town Hall, thus the whole town could attend, and it felt like the whole town was present!

Since I couldn’t get out of it, hamming it up would be more fun, I lisped through the whole thing.

Most things in life are better with a smile! Later in my illustrous life I had to have all of my teeth removed and live with dentures!

That adventure will have to wait until later. I want to finish book 9, “Volcano,” of my series, Ruby & Nolan’s Great Adventures in Space.

I hope to have it ready for publishing next month, which will coincide with Smashwords’ big book sale.

Biography Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die. I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect? Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing. My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda. Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated. I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.” I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class. After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome. I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.
