Dentist, Hell's Kitchen

My mouth was in really good shape until I moved over the Ct. River.
I have had soft teeth and have tried to take good care of them.
Three years ago when my Dentist relocated I used his replacement who basically just did cleanings and fillings and sent me to a Dr. in Groton for some more extensive work.
Both screwed up big time and I am now paying the price. I now have four broken teeth with probably no recourse and no way to repair them.
Deep Sigh......There is no such thing as a one stop dentist anymore, much like every other aspect of life everyone has to have a specialty. It's not enough to just be you and be special.
All I can say is there is nothing special about me. Just a regular girl trying to make ends meet. Trying to raise regular children. Draw little attention.
So the real motto is keep low, attract no attention, volunteer no information.
Maybe I will look forward to gumming my food, most likely not. Love crunchy food. Lots and lots of bunny grub for me.
So after a lot of calls and web search I have found a Dentist I am willing to try.
Pain is an enormous motivator. I live with chronic pain so if I consider myself in pain it's just best people and critters stay away least I use my voluminous Opera Voice to convey my feeling and thoughts.

Speaking of Opera voice;
We have a local Chef (Kevin Cottle) who is on the Television program "Hell's Kitchen". Although not the type of programing I would normally watch, we are having a good time watching. Unfortunately the main character drops the F-bomb on a regular basis and calls those who fall below standards British slang cuss words. Insulting to say the least and although my children are watching with my guidance they are being shown how really nice Mom and Dad are (because we could always try to live up to that guys standard of verbal humiliations).

Since our budget around here is tight we don't have cable or a dish and we watch the following day on the web which is cool but the screen is pretty small. Still all in all good fun. We are rooting for the Chef from Connecticut and his professionalism is showing. My crystal ball reads that it will boil down to Kevin and the short female blond chef. One would expect the Executive Chef of a world famous restaurant to have a modicum of class which most of the rest of the contestants don't.

Life on the real farm is moving along. Both meat and vegetable gardens are doing very well. Another 50 chicks and 25 poults today. Down to harvesting next week but that is how we pay our bills.
We need to redo the pig pen since I tried to expand production (under pressure and duress) which just didn't work. Second to the last pig stomped the womp outta me and since I'm not a young bumble I just don't bounce or take a beating like I used to. Probably how I broke that tooth, the Purple pig hit me so hard. I'm going to design a gate system that will squeeze them onto the trailer where I don't actually have to be in with them coaxing or grabbing an ear and tail and tossing them on.

Well we have a lot of errands to run and must get to them. Enjoy the sunshine if you have it since it wont be long before the white stuffs a flyin.
