As for my dental work, the new crowns may have to be replaced. The teeth are too short, leaving a gap between the upper and lower teeth that makes biting through things difficult. It affects my speech, too, as the upper teeth don't connect very well with my lower lip. It makes words with "f" and "v" sounds difficult to form. And the gap often means my tongue can't form the "th" and "s" sounds. With my speech impediment and Doug's hearing loss, things get interesting around here. :)Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-54882909133591410142017-03-13T20:02:20.741-04:002017-03-13T20:02:20.741-04:00What a blessing that you have found me again, Lind...What a blessing that you have found me again, Linda. I'm certainly sorry to hear about your husband having chronic hiccups. I can't imagine how that could wear a person out. I'm glad that they were able to help him at the hospital.<br /><br />And you with that dental work! Oh my goodness! I hope that the new crowns are working out well for you.<br /><br />DiannaDiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-9395901477477172162017-03-13T12:45:46.627-04:002017-03-13T12:45:46.627-04:00Thank you, Regine.

I'm not thrilled with the job done on my teeth. There's a possibility it might have to be done over again. Regarding the presentation on church safety, our culture is changing so rapidly. So are our weather patterns. It's always good to think through the possibilities in advance and be prepared for anything.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-42122352513642412142017-03-05T23:24:42.889-05:002017-03-05T23:24:42.889-05:00Our weather has been so weird this year.

Good to hear that Doug got some efficient help in the hospital and that your teeth will be almost like new again. :)<br />That presentation sounds helpful. We may not know how to face those dangers and it would be easier to follow some reasonable guidelines when dealing with them if they happened, especially older people are very vulnerable. Presumably we all hope that such a thing will never happen to us but it is better to be prepared, just in case.Petra Pavlátkováhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703286779861972964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-35452531483145631922017-02-28T20:41:34.704-05:002017-02-28T20:41:34.704-05:00I'm glad you've had a healthy winter, Ruth...I'm glad you've had a healthy winter, Ruth.

My new teeth are a welcome change from the temporary crowns. I always fear that those temporaries will fall off before the permanent ones can be installed. Your dental issues sounded awful. I'm glad they were able to save that infected tooth. You and I will have a lot of crowns to lay at the Savior's feet. :)Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-14243075054000222112017-02-28T20:37:43.059-05:002017-02-28T20:37:43.059-05:00Thank you for the prayers, Linda.

You're right...dental work is expensive. But I'm grateful to still have my teeth, even though most of them are wearing crowns.

Somehow we managed to avoid it... so far. I never heard of a case of hiccups so severe, but I can imagine how dreadfully tiring and aggravating it must have been. I hope your new teeth settled in well today. I can sympathize as just last year I had to replace a crown and one of my other teeth got a hairline crack down the middle and got infected so I had to get it crowned, also. Right now, I have a tooth that has been filled three times already and all the fillings have all fallen out so they want to crown it to put an end to that. Crown, crown, crown - I suppose you and I are just royalty, queens that is. ;)magnoliasnteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517995125207145961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-56771523205901951342017-02-28T13:29:28.530-05:002017-02-28T13:29:28.530-05:00Linda, bless your hearts.

Tough to fight illness this time of year, they said 4 kinds of flu were prevalent here. I had a terrible time shaking it. We have had a number of young families join our church so I am shopping for a few new tables and chairs to add to the Sunday school rooms today.I am waiting myself for the soft serve, I look at the shops diligently, hoping to see the open soon signs.
