One of the people posting above was married not too long ago.
When the honeymoon is over, the mundane, everyday tasks take over again.

Crest has been shown to be an effective decay preventive dentifrice that can be of significant value when used in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care.

I use crest to clean my mouthpiece, when do you think toothpaste companies will start advertising that is is good for significantly increasing mouthpiece value and make you a regular professional....

The response is much better with Colgate, but only on a BBb and it doesn't help lacquer.

Actually... most toothpaste contains a very fine abrasive. It can also be used for lapping valves.

Well, I am fighting intestinal battles again...the good news is that the coaching I got from the ER doc and the G/E have let me stop the blockage (odd choice of words, but there you are) without assistance from the NG tube and the hospital, just some old fashioned rest and some soft foods. Think I'm out of the woods...or the pines.

And slides, too, if well aligned!

A Saint Patrick's Day toast:

Here's to the wine we love to drink
And the food we love to eat.
Here's to our wives and sweethearts,
And may they never meet.
Here's champagne for our real friends
And real pain for our sham friends.
And when this journey finally ends, may all of us find peace.

Here's to all the women I've loved
And all the ones I've kissed.
As for regrets, I just have one:
That's all the ones I've missed.
While women's faults are many,
We men have only two:
Every single thing we say and everything we do.

But I wish you health, I wish you wealth
And happiness galore.
I wish you heaven when you die,
What could I wish you more?
May your joys be as deep as the ocean,
Your troubles as light as its foam,
And may you find sweet peace of mind,
Wherever you may roam.

Saw this in another thread in another forum:

bloke "who played this superbly-put-together piece as one of a suite of compositions labeled "“Escapades" (from a John Williams movie score) with Branford Marsalis as soloist in a 'non-pops' concert" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaLDyrun_Cc

Just wanted to applaud this piece, divorced from the context of the original post. Our orchestra played this last year. I was unfamiliar with the music when we first read it. Caught me by surprise. Didn't sound like John Williams (I admit to liking John Williams), but was fantastic. The orchestra liked it. The soloist liked it (shocking, I know). The audience loved it.
