I got on this post too late to attempt to make the correct guess before it was given. I have never been big into cars. I might have been close or guessed it, but probably not.

I am just enjoying reading the posts. I always stand to learn something from any of them.

OldRoy, I am impressed! I understand you're about 80...I'm only closing in on 65. My trips to the dentist are usually to let me know how many I can expect to keep. I have been effected , to some degree, by Agent Orange, but
also fall victim to genetic problems. Still clinging to small partials, with more losses impending.

My dentist is one of the best salesmen I have ever known. He says I have not one tooth that I was born with. what he means is that every one of them has a cap of some kind on it. Also, I have some rather expensive replacements that caused a pulling and then an implant. The worst part of all that is that you then have to buy a crown to place on the implant.

Lucky, I am not where dentists are concerned. I have the best implant orthodontist in the world but he does charge like that, too.

Ah yes I still go to my dentist every 4 months so his hygienist can check to see that I am not getting gum disease and she cleans my crowns just like they were real teeth.

You are fortunate oldroy to have been able to retain what you have. I had excellent teeth most of my life. I got my first cavity at the age of 42. Unfortunately, in my 60's I became ill and the various medications prescribed rotted my teeth at the gum line. They would just break off, leaving a stub. Crowning them worked for a period of time. Then it became necessary for my dentist to remove them. A few at a time. There finally came a time when it was no longer possible to save what was left, so out they came. It was only after all my teeth had been removed that I ascertained the problem. Of course my physicians, I had three, neglected to apprise me of the effects the medications would have on me. Needless to say, I was quite peeved, to put it mildly. I had a relative, by marriage, who was experiencing the same difficulty with her teeth. I informed her of my complications, she went to her physician who promptly changed her medication. She was fortunate and was able to save most of her natural teeth.

I have four teeth missing and have had several others pulled, for one reason or another. The last two were pulled after they broke off at the gum line and replaced by implants. I was amazed that the peridontist could pull them and then replace them with implants. He had done similar work on four others and eventually did another one in front of them when the crown broke off.

I have five gold crowns on my bottom front teeth that had to be done because I ground my front teeth so much that they were really worn down. The best thing about that operation was that I could again eat corn on the cob which I had been unable to eat without cutting it off the cob.

I would say that all in all I have upwards of 30 to 35 thousand dollars in falsies of one kind or another. My wife swears she won't have my gold harvested when I pass away and I don't think I can force her since I won't be around. Those dentists who have done the work say that the morticians will take them out whether she sells the gold or they do and she just won't accept that.

I'm envious. I loved corn on the cob, alas can no longer enjoy it. Go in good health my friend.

I would have to guess this one is a 1950-1953 Cadillac, a bit before my time. Show me some 1960s Detroit Iron, that s all I drove up till 1992! And what I'd prefer to drive NOW! As far as what s made recently, I can't tell what decadate, country or what you have to put in

Like the old Irish wish. I hope to be in heaven three days before the devil finds out I am now dead.

Speaking of visiting the doctors or dentist office.

It has always been a source of aggravation when the receptionist at the doctors office wants you to explain the reason for your visit, in front of all the other patients sitting in the waiting room.

To wit. I am reminded of the story where a 72 year old gentlemen arrived at the nurses station in the doctors waiting room, only to have the nurse ask what he needed. He replied "This is a personal visit and I would like to talk privately with the doctor"

The nurse; being self obsessed told him that she had a form to fill out and it would help the doctor prepare for his consult, and therefore she had to insist he tell her the reason for his visit. He replied "I want to discuss a problem I am having with my dick!"

The nurse rose from her chair and said that his choice of words was totally inappropriate and he should not say things like that. He replied: "What should I have said?" The nurse suggested that he should have said something like I am having a problem with my ear.

Now the whole waiting room was listening intently to the conversation and he could feel the stares in his back, so he just turned around and left the waiting room. Then on second thought he decided he would not put up with that pompous butch, turned around and returned to the desk.

The nurse looked up, sighed, and asked him what he wanted. He replied "I need to see my doctor about my ear" The nurse smiled and said: That's better sir, and what shall I tell the doctor is wrong with your ear?

With a crooked smile and a twinkle in his eye the old man replied I can't piss out of it! and the whole waiting room burst out laughing.

Now I am sure there is a moral to this story, but at my age, I forgot what it was.

I love it. Where is the respect for the elderly that we used to have? It seems tat these young whipper snappers insult us and then when we do speak out they criticize us.

They have yet to experience life as we have C*****r. Hopefully they will learn as they mature, should they live that long.
