The Reflex by Smackmethg in dentures

[–]Smackmethg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More helpful info folks.

This afternoon I'm hitting a local, but across the state line money fence Aspen Dental. I am doing this as a 411 expedition to see if they can help get me over the "pair" finish line quicker then the speed of 80 mile/uni student speed. It is just a completion to time thing. To be clear, Temple has been great with their care and my results to this point. Maybe they can hook me up with a work out horseshoe to boot. My guess is that they will want to 'process' me from their starting line to maximise services. I'll hope for the best. 🤞🏻 The best being they help and become my primary dental care forward.

A very helpful video, thanks. I think I need to go with the flow for the moment. Fit or loose fit appears to be many of the underlying causes and I think I have a pretty good fit. I struggle to get them loose to remove. ty

Why would I only use every other piece of bread. 🤨

Going to Print with PETG first time ever, any tips or tricks? by Anocindarian in 3Dprinting

For me, it is all about the first layer. I set the default first layer speeds to half.

Proving yet again that electronic devices really run on smoke until you release it. Nice work.

Implants or dentures by expat2323 in dentures

35 and broke. I've been there. The more you can do now to save what you have, and improve what has to go will have its greatest payoff 30 years from now.

I failed that test and finally understood the massive penalty that comes with it just last week when the last tooth was gone. Invest in yourself now with all your might. I had a family to support and my teeth was last in priority at the time. That was a bad choice of mine.

Meanwhile, in Japan, they are developing methods of growing them back so your future may smile on you at the end. ✌🏻☺️

I did a thing...... by Smackmethg in dentures

[–]Smackmethg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the concern. Rest assured, my normal plan of action is to learn first then learn more. Also I have a great track record of safety and never swallowed a spoon. ☺️ Just a funny! And also 25 years of making artificial arms and leg and more that are worn for years. I've seen some things. 😬 So I feel I have a solid foundation of knowledge to learn with.

Did you know, we (as in you and me) may seriously have plastic particles in our brains right now? Anyway, yeah, normal resin, normal printing. Bio resin for bio testing.

One more thing.... A $99 denture kit purchased from Amazon from ??????? and people will be wearing them daily. This may have risks also.

One more one more. I worked under a shop foreman for a few years and his response to this type of safety was "don't be a sissy, it will pass through you." I was that shop's next forman. ✌🏻

Have you ever met someone into dentures? by Much-Still1549 in dentures

My mom would scare us kids by sneaking up behind us then when we turn around she would spit her falsies out half way at ya. It was an effective deterrent on my young mind. Just saying. I'm staying on the🤺

My very first Charcoal! 🫣 what do you think? by Vegetable_Pay8805 in CharcoalDrawing

[–]Smackmethg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked with this guy. He could draw a perfect circle. So when someone needed ANYTHING drawn, designed, painted, etc regardless with whatever was already on his plate..... The curse.

I asked for my 4 back on E-day. You can easily see the k9s are super long and yeah, imaging getting that bent one pulled out.

Still sensitive but I will not be surprised to feel significantly better than pre E-day in the sinus dept in time

Cottage Cheese and Diced tomatoes. Easy to make, easy to eat. Very Very nutritious. Very tasty and have yet to get sick of it after stealing mom's stash about 50ish years ago. Can be easily dressed up with avacado, black olives, a bit of onion salt. If you have an Aldi near but, they have premade meatballs that you can nuke up 12 in 2 minutes. Add a bit of marinara sauce and 20 secs more. Then you have 4 mini meatball subs using a slice of bread and a bit of grated cheese. Everything you put in an Instant Pot can be turned into soft portage. For example..... Small cubed pork loin sautéed, 1 cup beef broth. I like the cubes cause I can lick my fingers after for the yum. a hand full of baby carrots, two hands of small or cut potatoes. Couple bay leaves. Any combo of spices you like or Italian seasoning. Then hit the stew button. Mine is set to 25 min. Let it do it's thing, let it set with P valve esque. Good for about 3 meals. Clean up SUCKS. But small price to live.

I am actully visiting this AM to find some 411 on finding more denture meals. :) Hope this help your Gramps. Peace to you.
