Want good teeth? Two words, Chester Clinic. I am a semi-licensed orthodontist, it's really quite easy. On many occasions I have used my down time between gynecological exams to slap on a set of braces. Doubts? Check out the million dollar smile that Judhead Caldwell flashes.  By the way, does it bother any of you that one of the leading lawn fertilizer brands is Ortho? Just wondering.
Note to Bobby Pettit: My racing speed on the same track was 154.20, sorry.

Sent to me by a Terrorist friend of mine:


The person who calculated this bit of information is now and has been a professor at
The University of West Virginia in Morgantown for the last forty some years.


A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year.
A vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons of gas a  year.
So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction will reduce gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
The government claims 700,000 clunkers have been replaced so that's 224 million gallons saved per year.
That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil. 
5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption.
More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars.
So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save $350 million.
We spent $8.57 for every $1.00 we saved.

I'm pretty sure they will do a better job with our health care, though.

I enjoy and agree with your "trash talk".  Keep it up.  Speaking of trash talk, what about Biden referring to Tea Party members as Terrorists.  Since when did believing in the Constitution make you a Terriorist? I guess I would be a Terrorist according to Biden.

Kathleen, it's hard to believe a responsible parent would allow their child's teeth to be maimed like that. Maybe the key word is "responsible."  Braces can literally tear up soft tissue if they're put on by someone unskilled.  Plus, I wouldn't think the result would be stunning. 

I want to hear about the race car driving, too.

Lynell, I have been noticing the dental clinics going up everywhere and wondering what kind of dental care you would receive if you went to one of them. I also noticed these clinics were going into neighborhoods with lots of minorities. Casa View Shopping Center has several of them. Some time ago, I saw one little boy in South Texas where an unscrupulous dentist had capped every teeth in his mouth at the states expense. The poor kid was in a lot of pain and had trouble eating because of all the metal in his mouth. It is hard to believe anyone would do this to a child.

BTW, you know all these dental clinics that have popped up everywhere? That's where dentists who are not necessarily orthodontists can slap braces on kids. I wore braces as an adult, paid for by ME, and I know my orthodontist had to go to school a long time to learn how to do it. Some of these regular dentists are making a killing doing this, without having to pay to go to orthodontics school. Cool, huh?

Today while eating lunch, I heard an ad on the radio saying a family can earn up to $44,000 per year and be eligible for Medicaid. Coverage includes eye exams, dental care (including orthodontia in Texas) and medical exams. The ad gave a website to go to for free medical care.

Cousin Sammy, don't be pointin' the finger only at the Dems. Neither party emerged from this tomfoolery with anything to be proud of. All both parties did was illuminate what a shakey financial foundation the United States now has.
 
Neither group "fixed" anything. They just delayed dealing with it rather than face or make the hard changes that need to take place. I think there are more aftershocks coming our way.

Uh! Oh! It didn't take Barry O very long to get right back to some of his favorite phrases of the week "balanced approach" (translation: more taxes), and everyone paying their "fair share" (translation: wants more taxing on the "millionaires and billionaires"). Yep, at his look what I accomplished news conference awhile ago, just after the Senate voted approval of the Debt Reduction Bill, he was politicallly planting the seeds for more spending cash and higher paying taxpayers. Must just be inbred in those Dems.

Had to comment on Charlotte's reference to the Golden Oldies now including 60's music.  When our kids reach 65, Rap Music will be their golden oldies.  OMG.

Probably any song that we can understand the words to is an oldie. And with todays "music" we are better off NOT understanding the words!!

  Charlotte, any song I can remember the words to is officially an Oldie.

I agree with you Sharon.  I think the media just needs fillers so they dip into trivia!
 
It is a sad day when I am listening to Golden Oldies on Comcast radio and the 60's are included the oldies now!!!!!  WHOA!

After 40 years, are we really going to find out what happened to D B Cooper?  I think they're just toying with us.

TNX JS, I didn't realize you could still get your SS via mail, although that is abt to stop.  Sorry about those darn homeless neighbors gettin' in your mailbox . . . better be even more careful if you go with the debit cd.  Those things have several drawbacks. 

Homeless Neighbors!!???    Yeah, right!

I have always wondered about the maximum monthly benefit that people receive from their Social Security check. Does anyone know? After asking some people, it seems a lot of people fall into the $700 to $2200 range. I realize that it is based on how much you pay in, but is there a cut off point? I also have read that you can draw your SS and continue working. When you finally do retire you can go back and have them refigure your income. Is this true?

I do get my SS by direct deposit, but prior to May of this year you still had the option of receiving it by a mailed check. Now it must be by DD.

Sandy, Bill probably receives his SS check by direct deposit, but Dru and I are amongst those to poor and low-tech to have a checking account - so ours still arrives by mail, as does 15 percent of the population.
 
However a new requirement that went into effect May 1st will force us to acquire a government Debit Card by 2013. It might be a good thing, since the homeless folks on the next alley over keep getting into our mailbox.

Bill - JS, I hate to correct ya'll and especially Mr. POTUS, but SS cks haven't been mailed in yrs!  They are EFT'd (electronic fund transferred) into your acct.  My husband's arrives in our acct every 4th Wed.

Not much on TV this afternoon so I found myself strangely drawn to a 90 minute show, recorded in 1976, on KERA. It was an old Austin City Limits show with my old childhood friend Michael Martin Murphey.

I wonder if the dedication he made to "my old friend John" could possibly be Southworth?

Comments:
Yea, JS, you'd think that POTUS (or at least one of his "crack" advisers) would know that SS checks have been mailed, to be received, on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wednesdays of each month. It's only been that way since April 1997.

I'm hoping those clowns on both sides of the aisle hurry up and finish playing "kick the can (on down the road)" so's Obama can get all them Social Security checks in the mail on August 3rd.
 
(Usually, I don't get mine til the 4th Wednesday of the month, so this'll be a special treat)

The pictures are MANY, and the women are the best looking 'old ladies' I've seen in a long time....Thanks.

It looks like we are going to solve our debt ceiling problem. It bothers me that Boehner and McConnell seem so happy: that may not bode well for the American people, since cuts in urgently needed services may be on the way.
