I'm missing 6 teeth that still need implants. Trust me, you can get away with it, lol.

Not that I'd want you to be paranoid, cuz, but.....have you seen the price of gold lately?

By the way, I upgraded my Ancestry.com account this morning (slow day) and I'm digging into the Landry roots in Nova Scotia. The fam says "bonjour!".

I know, cuz ... I'm leery of those deep French kissers.

Keep your eye out for Calixte and Bibienne.

I'm having a hard time finding Philomena (or Philamena or Philomene) Brine (or Brien or Brian or Briand).

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Bibienne's maiden name is Philibot. I can't even find it as a last name.

Of course, the FC are tricky. I didn't find my Ggmother until I disovered that her given name was Honorine and not Nora, as she called herself when she came to the US. Also, the church recorded the birth date as the day of Baptism, which was usally the day after, not the actual day of birth.

They weren't stickler for small details like...names, dates, etc. I'm digging through the Canadian Census of 1871 (because why have a census in 1870?) and it's a good thing I can read French.

It's funny that you guys are talking about this now. I just got off the phone with my cuz from my Dad's side (which I know little about). It seems my paternal grandfather's family came from Rome. Here I thought I was all Neopalitan. I knew my grandfather had 2 brothers (Uncle Patsy and Robert). I never knew Uncle Patsy was Patrick. I did set him straight on our Grandmother's father's name. He thought it was Stanley when she told me it was Stanislaus. Could we have German or Polish blood some where along our blood line. Weird that a guy direct from Italy would have that name. Things that make you go Hmmm

Maybe you and Girly are cousins.

Boobs - being on Ancestry.com is really fascinating. I spent 4 hours one Saturday, building my family tree and getting "hints" from public records.It's worth checking out.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 2/1/12 at 12:09pm

Moony, I will check it out. I love this stuff...never know what you'll find out. I doubt Girly is anywhere in my family tree.

Nope. Maybe parked under it, though.

I now have this image of Girly knitting our names (both real and screen) into a dresser scarf.

I have a feeling mine will be in neon thread, with the words "Make It Slow and Painful" stitched in underneath.

Does it hurt?

NO

*snicker*

So I'm back and they were able to save what's left of the tooth. The root was capped and they rebuilt the missing enamel. They also realized that I hadn't been in the chair since 2010, so guess who goes back next week for a cleaning and two fillings? Could have been a lot worse, though, so I'm very grateful!

Off today for Crown 1 Part 2 and Crown 2 Part 1. I was told to use gold rather than porcelain because with all of the lovely grinding, I could crack the porcelain crown as well.

Luckily, I think I saved the tooth with a root canal - they were talking an implant for the one (cracked it good, I did!).

How I wish I could just be asleep doing all of this.

Note - DO NOT HAVE EARBUDS IN WHEN A DENTIST DRILLS YOUR TEETH. Literally an echo chamber from hell.

I had two thoughts while in the dentist's chair:

1) I need to be asleep for this stuff from now on
2) Is there any sound as horrible as that of the drill? I think not. So we return to thought #1.

We need the group rate on dental care!

Good wishes to you, YWIW and glad to hear it wasn't too bad, Moony!

I'm diligent about my every 6-month cleanings, and never let time go between appointments. I just kind of hit a wall on the work being done, and am now wondering if I can't just wait on the last quadrant of silver-filling replacement work. If anyone in NYC has a good dentist, I'd love the info. I'd like to make an appt. with someone else, just to see what they say. (My dentist is in CT, so it would also be more convenient!)

Boobs,
