Can The Adults Please Smoke? Freakin' Fifteen — Page 63

that's why i had to finally stop taking my grandmother to the movies with me since she would always play "he used to be on matlock."

"yeah, gram, the show ran for eight years. everyone and their brother was on matlock. it was the love boat of the geriatric set. now pipe down and gum your peanut chews!"

He did leave around the November/December 2004 timeframe, but was back, with a green card around March/April 2005. He's been back ever since. YAY!

I know! Euan was already back in the U.S. when it first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. He was in the audience along with a bunch of other people from the doc.

The BFO people didn't allow them access for some reason. Don't know why. I would've loved to have seen some stuff from that show, too.

I want that DVD. And I want it NOW!!

I skipped the patience line when I was born.

Lawn has been mowed. blah!

Hey! You know what happens to bad eggs or nuts! (Depending on which movie you prefer.)

Hi Tink!

---

Sorry it took so long. I was lookin for a beer bucket.

---

Very sweet, DD, I'll go get some ice.

---

I just made coffee. Only one problem. I forgot to take out the used filter/coffee from this AM and put new in.


:::sigh:::

I need to go home.

I don't think it's normal, but I've seen worse. I knew a girl in college who sucked her thumb. She would tell anyone that asked, without a hint of embarrassment, that she had an oral fixation.

Yeah, she was a total whore.

I know, Tink!

Definitely not the best thing... my cousin used a pacifier until he was almost 10.

Yikes:

The possible effects of thumb sucking for children after the age of three is:

- Reshape the jawbone because their jawbones are still soft and pliable bullet

- Teeth grow out of aliment and position bullet

- Narrows dental arches which cause the next problem
- Upper front teeth will flare out and tip upward bullet
- Lower teeth will move inward

- Affect growth of child's palate (roof of the mouth) causing
1. Poor tongue placement
2. Problems chewing
3. Problems with learning to swallow properly. The tongue plays a major role in swallowing. For people who don't suck their thumb or finger, their tongue goes up behind the roof of their mouth as they swallow and this causes a seal. But, when trying to swallow while sucking the thumb or finger, the tongue is thrust forward, in between the front teeth. This action makes swallowing difficult and will require re-training to correct the tongue movement.
4. Problems speaking
5. Overbite or open bite
6. Make tonsils collapse to cause snoring
7. The skeletal deformities which can develop can lead to insecurities and self-image problems, particularly in children.
Thumbsucking
