I wear a retainer at night too. I wore braces as a kid but when they were taken off, I discontinued wearing (my retainers) once my orthodontist finally dismissed me as a patient. But over the years, a few of my teeth went slightly crooked again so, feeling a little bit self-conscious about my smile, I went back to my orthodontist and had braces put back on my teeth for about a year as a young adult. I no longer see my orthodontist but I continue to faithfully wear my retainers at night so that I never have to worry about crooked teeth (and maybe wearing braces yet a third time!) ever again.
btw: I agree with Susan that people ought to age gracefully — which I’m trying my very best to do. But there’s no point in doing it with crooked teeth if I don’t have too!!!!!

There is a point here about being telling too much. Why does he already have bifocal contacts? Good grief.

Irving was okay up until bifocal contacts. Cathy made me roll my eyes at thigh creme, whatever that might be. Blink. Blink blink.

Actually, Aaron, I’d say that Irving went into TMILand when he talked about upping his fiber intake. Eww, gassy!
