I've got these wonderful hooks on the backs of my top molar bands, so I'm pretty sure that elastics are in my future since, as someone else wrote, I don't exactly plan on hanging ornaments off them. Actually, they are literally a pain. I have to keep gobs of wax over them. I've affectionately nicknamed them "the shredders." They do a good job of shredding food when my teeth are too sore to chew. Unfortunately, they also shred my tongue!
). I loved all of Scotland though, I moved down to the highlands after the Shetlands and b*mmed round there for a while, worked in the Cairngorms, Pitlochry, etc. You should defintely go to Shetland, it's a fantastic spot, but I'd recommed going in summer, though winter can be pretty. There are a few (mostly Scanadavian) tourists around during summer, but it really is the best time to see what's up there (otherwise the weather's a bit too extreme for some spots). You can also catch a ferry to Norway, Iceland, The Faroes, etc from there too.
