One time I went to my mom's work and a guy that worked there asked me what grade I was in and I told him I was a freshman to which he replied, I thought you were no older than 8th grade. I replied back that I was a freshman - in college. At 30 (now 31) I still routinely get carded for alcohol. *shru...

Wow, the first picture you posted looks exactly like my tooth except mine is on the other side! I get my braces on Wednesday so I haven't started yet but now I know what I'm getting into.

Unfortunately other than eBay, I can't work and am in the middle of the disability proce...
