Your sister's thick but noth thychic.

She did not have premonitions about you chipping your tooth; rather she had the poor manners and lack of tact to spring her opinions of your smile in a most unloving way.

She may have helped cause the chip that chipped soon after, or - more likely - you may have caused it yourself in unwitting reaction, a happenstance that would never have happened had you not had your inner energy directed to your outer teeth.

More likely still, both the chip in your tooth and the chip on your shoulder from your family's faux pas are part of the same string of psychic energy running through your life at this particular moment.

You and your sister are merely pawns. She may be a nasty bitch, but she's not psychic.

Ah, family. I live 2000 miles from mine. I'm sorry yours is giving you grief.

Teeth- if they don't bother you or your significant other, does it matter? Or take the money and run with it; dental work *is* expensive.

Apartment- you live there, not them. If you're happy, tell 'em to take a hike.

Too many knick-knacks? Again, they don't live there.

Dog hair? I'm with Lisa- better dog hair than no dog.

Your life works for you. They should stop telling you how to live your life.

Because I only know you from this board, I don't know what you look like. Maybe a pic has been posted, but I'm not remembering it...but what I know is that from everything I've ever read that you've written, you strike me as one reeeeeaaaally attractive individual. Articulate, whimsical, passionate. I don't go by looks, so maybe what I think doesn't count these days, but to my mind's eye you look swell -- no, swanky! Babe: you've got it where it counts, and everything else is eye candy, which, unlike the important stuff, can obviously be bought. Only do it if you wanna. For you. In my mind, you are already teh hottie.





And I, too, have a small chip -- I lovingly refer to it as my inner-trash manifestation!

Bleah. You know we love you the way you are, right? Your sister is lame. And shallow, yes, if she's trying to fix something that wass perfectly fine at the time (and that none of us noticed when spending time with you.) You like your life, and Ralphie does, and there's no reason she should dictate what any part of it should be.

I chipped my front tooth on a salad fork at the Tango Grill during my fifteen minute break from Video West in WeHo about ten years ago. I don't think it's ever bothered anyone.

On the other hand, it could be why I'm single.

[Prudence]

And with families like that, who needs enemies?

Why not fix your teeth with your money, and take their money and buy whatever you would have originally spent on other things. Yes, it all comes out the same in the end, but it's way more fun psychologically if you can tell yourself that *you* paid for your dental repair and *they* paid for your trip to DL (or whatever).

I know I shouldn't be laughing at someone else's circumstance---but this is one funny thread

[katiesue]

Awww. Family can just suck. I've gotten nice "compliments" from mine as well. My dad's favorite way to call you to the phone was "hey ugly it's for you", lovely no?

I have a chipped front tooth as well, from my habit of chewing on paperclips. Doesn't bother me. I think it all depends on if a dentist says it's harming the integrity of the tooth. I wouldn't take the cash to fix it unless I absolutely had to, but that's just me. I hate not being able to pay for things myself.

Wowa, that just sent shivers down my spine! Once I was trying to get a knot out of a wet shoe lace when I was a kid. I used my teeth and they slipped off hitting together and sliding and grinding along with the top front against the bottom front teeth. I repeated it trying to get the undone untill I did it four or five times. By the end I felt like I had dental work done with no novicane. I cannot even think about it with out shivers!
