~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[dill]

I am so envious of you and your sister traveling around like a pair of free birds! It puts a smile on my face just thinking about you.

Rava, you are a wealth of recipe knowledge! I had never heard of cabbage steaks but now I have another food adventure to look forward to. Mr. D will love it I think. We have roasted brussell sprouts and that is one of his favorites, so I suspect he'll like cabbage steak.

How did it go at the dentist, Cowboy?

Greetings Ginger and Slo.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Good morning Cafe and Cowboy thinking about you and your dental visit. Jude, safe travels and the weather is great down here. Hope you enjoy your vacation. Ginger, I hear you about the large crowds. I would rather stay home. Many people in our community think we are antisocial and maybe we are but just being around all the drinking makes me uncomfortable. Mr. R doesnt really drink so he doesnt care if we go places or not. And my tooth is not 100%. I am pretty sure I have to have it drilled again. There is a piece of jawbone that the gum is not healing over. I cancelled my appointment because my mouth is too sore for the crown placement. Plus Granddaughter is coming for a 3 day stay starting tomorrow. The pain is no where near as bad as in the beginning. So I will just grin and bear it until next week. Really enjoyed watching the astronauts arrive home safely yesterday. The dolphins swimming around the space craft made it even more special. Wishing everyone has a wonderful and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

Things went well at the dentist, it was just as I figured, x-rays, check-up, and consult. Not sure if I made the right decision but he talked me out of full dentures and recommended partials on both top and bottom. At least there won't be any surgery involved as he said he could do everything right there. I think the big factor in my decision to go with the partials was because they'll get put in right away, if I went with full dentures I would have to go about a month without teeth. Next week will be when the actual work in my mouth begins. Have any of you had any experience with this, would love to hear your opinions!

Hope y'all have a fantastic day!

I haven't personally had experience with partials but my Mom loved hers. I hope you do too!

Jude, when I go anywhere with my sisters, the drive is just as fun as the stay. Enjoy!

Wrapping up a little everyday. I'm so ready. Waves to all. I'll take another day of freedom

Young Daughter is here with me! I love having her here with me. She’s on Spring Break. She had a job interview on Monday, and she accepted! So after she graduates from college and starts working, she will be home here in our metro area! I am so grateful that she will be nearby!

I’m pretty sure I would much prefer partials over full dentures. My dad’s seemed to work well for him.

I like to roast asparagus. It is delicious that way. “Tastes like popcorn!”, ex-HB used to say.

Rava, too bad your granddaughter missed the astronauts returning and the dolphins by a couple days.
Well, you tried to socialize and do the corn hole event, but it wasn’t very well organized. Maybe if everything didn’t revolve around alcohol, then you & HB would be more interested. Like card games, book clubs, hikes, crafts, movie night -things like that.

Hope you have a great cross country ride, Jude!

Yes, let’s embrace our freedom!

Well, my sister and I ran smack into blizzard conditions in Nebraska. They closed all of the major roads but we were lucky enough to get a hotel room because everyone else was looking for one as well due to the storm. Hopefully we can get back on the road early this morning.

Cowboy, I have a partial and it works fine for me. My dentist told me to keep my teeth as long as possible because wearing dentures is no fun.

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Enjoy the visit with your granddaughter Rava, hopefully your pain won't distract from the visit.

Thats great news about your youngest Slo, we have 2 of our kids living somewhat close to us now and Amanda and her Great Dane are coming over Saturday to visit. We haven't seen her since she moved back home and this will be the first time we've met Bruce lol.

Hopefully the roads improve enough for you to get back on the road soon Jude, this is turning out to be quite an adventure for you.

Thanks for the input y'all, it's helped me think I've made the right decision.

[Slo]

I’ll take another day too!

Rava when I read your post about people around there who think you and your HB are antisocial, it brought to mind a saying I remember hearing a long time ago in the early days of my time here at MWO. I believe it is a common saying in AA and I loved it from the very first time I heard it: "What Other People Think About Me Is None of My Business". Do what you need to do. Your health is more important..


Cowboy, I have no experience with partials vs dentures, but I believe it is generally thought to be better to keep your teeth for as long as you can. I think your dentist advised you well and that you have chosen the right path.

Quick check in, heading out this morning and hope to be in Georgia tonight. Hope that it's a better drive than yesterday was!

24 more please...

Good morning Cafe. Dill, thanks for the quote. I will definitely remember it! Jude, once you get to Florida you will forget all about the blizzard conditions. Wow glad you and your sister got a hotel! Cowboy, I think you made the right decision. My late husband had his teeth pulled and dentures put in all in the same day. Some clinics will do that and said that inserting dentures right away helped with the swelling and bleeding. I would rather keep my teeth at all costs. Speaking of teeth mine are very sensitive to hot and cold. I am still eating on one side. Hopefully I will have some answers next week. Granddaughter got here last night around 9 pm. We all went to bed and she is still sleeping. Today is a beach day so it should be fun. Hope everyone was a Good Friday. Waves to everyone. 24 more please and thank you!

Safe travels, Jude!

Not much going on here today. That's the way we like it! Well, perhaps Mr. D would disagree. Remember when we patched the pond last Fall? Well, e'hs been really busy trying to make the most of the spring rain that has filled the creeks recently. He is pumping water from one of the creeks into the pond to get it re-filled faster than with just the run-off it was designed to fill with. He's constantly filling the gas and tending to whatever crops up.
