The reason is pictured to the left and his very unhappy reaction is quite evident!</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">I figured he already wanted to divorce us so why not get it all over with in one swoop? No more 24/7 grazing in the food dish. So Solomon's Mum has set him a goal for a 5 pound loss. The trick is to be sure that Sid, who does not need to trim down, gets enough food without Sol knowing. I'm sneaking Sid extras while we hide in the bathroom. We'll keep you posted on Sol's progress.</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;">DENTAL SHAKEUP</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#000000;">I've been making several trips into Mexico (10 miles away) recently to 'enjoy' a full dental makeover. Seems crowns and bridges and fillings do have a life span and need to be replaced after several years. A fact that was driven home rather shockingly when my At Home Dentist informed me that I needed $10,000 to $12,000 worth of do-over's!</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Guess what was immediately placed on MY goal list?! The Universe and I had a heart-to-heart regarding sending me a method to accomplish this feat. And sure enough, via a circuitous route, I found Dr. Yilka Gomez among a throng of dentists in Los Algodones just a 10 minute walk from the Mexican border. Her cost? $1,600!!!</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Not only does she do incredibly great work with the best and latest equipment and supplies, but she provided some unexpected 'entertainment' on my last visit. As I was zoning out in the chair I noticed the dental lamp on the swing arm above my head started to do a dance. And then it swayed in an even larger arc as the chair joined in. Yup, you guessed it...an earthquake.</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Yilka simply said "Let's move!" and me, she and her assistant ran for the nearest doorway which was tHE one into the waiting room. Now picture this: three women standing wide-eyed in this doorway and me in full 'dental jacket' with a block in one side of my mouth and any number of dental instruments protruding from the other completely numb side of my face in full view of everyone in the waiting room! I was trying to say "Cool!", but it came out "KKaaaaggh!"</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Anyway, all calmed down and it was back to business as usual. Felt an aftershock later that evening at home, but minor.</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;">CREATE A POSTER</span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff0000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#000000;">What a hoot! You can play with this one for hours. Make a poster from any digital picture in your computer.
