Orthodontic wax. I remembered something I carry in my bag, since I just had to use it. You can put a ball of it on a chipped tooth to stop it ripping your tongue apart, or you can stuff it into a cavity. Invaluable stuff.

Very good idea! It sounds better than putting duct tape over the tooth, my cure-all tool!

Ish is that something you order over the counter? Does it harden up right away? Thanks for the lead.

It should be on the shelf at any good drug store.


It never hardens, and it sticks to teeth like you wouldn't believe. It doesn't put up with major prime rib chewing but it will last through soft food.

Pharmacies carry kits for quickie tooth repairs or broken fillings. Can help manage very painful situations. Great reminder, Ish.

[Joli]

Fun story Rasp, thanks for sharing.

What a great idea!! I will pick some up for my offshore First Aid kits. I broke a tooth on a dried wasabi spice pea while sailing to San Fran. Wasn't fun

I've busted two teeth with sketchy root canals. One split right down below the the gum. I just hate to think what that would have been like offshore.

Now both are nice prostheses on posts screwed into solid bone and I'm thinking of having the rest of my molars done.

Stop screwing around with those pliers, sonny. I'll get that nut off! Gnarrr!

I looked at getting implants in a couple of problem spots, but the bone right there is quite thin, so they were going to go with longer posts screwed right through into my sinus cavity. Pass.

so, the ol' hernia is healing well. Doing my best not to over-exert myself.

during sex I just lie there, perfectly still.

Me too. The probe fell out once and the aliens got upset.

Glad you're doing well, Rick.

I once asked a patient if she was sexually active.

She replied "no, I just lie there".

I actually posted a reply to this and saw it on screen. I go out for brunch and when I get back, it's gone. WTF?

I have had that happen once or twice too.

I forgot to mention. This site has a special plugin. If the plugin is watching something particularly interesting on TV (usually something like 'Modern Marvels'), it's going to ignore you.

Sorry about that.

Ish, if the two of us were ever to meet in real space, the result might be really annoying. If Tim Ford and Rob McAlpine were to join us, normal humans would not be able to tolerate it for more than seconds at a time.

It sounds like a natural for a Bermuda race. I can be bought.

We need Rick. He's actually funny.

[Rob McAlpine]

Which Rick?

Maybe you two need a buffer, so you won't be so annoying. I would volunteer. They could make a comedy about you two in a boat , and I know that before ever sailing with either one of you

[Orestes Munn]

Which Rick?

Your (our) Rick has a great sense of humor, but he's not at all annoying and I love him for his other golden attributes. Rick Beddoe, whom I barely know, cracks me up.

[Soñadora]

Dang, OM, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me. It's almost beer commercial worthy.

Living here on the Hormone Ranch there's no shortage of humorous material. I'm glad I can make someone share in the misery...I mean laughter.
