wow, looking good! Those gaps are really starting to close up. Here's to the new elastic doing its thing for your midline!

Well you just proved to me that green CAN and DOES look good! I was told to stay away from it because it looks like you have salad stuck between your teeth

But it looks great! It's a pretty green..one that I think my ortho doesn't even have

BTW thanks for showing and explaining the elastics, very informative as I will have to do something like that when its time to get my midline addressed. Looks tricky though, to tie the knot and put it all back in place after every snack and teeth brushing? EEK

But at least I know now what's coming my way!!

PS: How do you take such awesome pics? You must have a lip spreader or something?

Hi Ken, You are looking festive as usual! That is actually a good Spring color-- celebrating new growth, etc. How many cars do you have? I had noticed different ones pictured in your posts, but lost count. I am assuming they are all yours. I finally posted some pictures, (bracket club) but only one person has been there. PLease take a look.

Thought you might be liken thee Greencolor Laddie.Sorry about the word spelling, me Irish isn't that good.Just had to do the poll thingy, you just dropped to many hints not to pick up the blood trail.Your teeth are looking mighty sporty with the Green Ken.Maybe I'll change up on colors this time too.Hope those pockets work themselves out and those new elastics do their job without to much pain.
Are you racin the green car tonight too?
Oh' and about the weather , last week when I seen the rods and bikes on the road it was about 50. This week it rained about an inch on Thursday and we had 45 , then yesterday it was 30 and got 5 inches of snow to give us 15ins. on the ground. Go figure.

Nice colour, that green. It definitely suits you.

I'm absolutely intrigued by the upper only midline correcting type elastic.

Your teeth are looking very nice! I love the green ligs. I wish I could be so daring...I always get clear w/my ceramic brackets. Hope you have loads more progress!

Hey we're twinkies! I went St. Paddy's Day for my ligs too!

That's a very interesting elastics configuration, hope it helps your midline alignment. I was so interested in how that looks and how that works i looked that up on google.

Congratulations on your A PLUS and A for hygiene! An A is still an A even if it isn't A plus, right?

Hey Ken,

Sounds like a good checkup (other than that bothersome pocket) and adjustment back at the ortho. It is frustration for things to have to slow down like that (been there done that) but anything is better than losing any more teeth, so I'm sure you're happy that your periodontist is invested in you keeping all of those teeth you all working so hard to take care of! Frustrating though. The new elastics sound pretty cool (working on the midline already? I'm still waiting for that). Cool!

I think that's great news actually that you will get your mid-line worked on! I would like to start that process for me like yesterday! I'm jealous

So Ken, How are the new ligs treating you today. Quite the shock to not see you in chains but I guess your teeth needed a rest for your perio surgery.Hope you are doing great.
Have you raced lately? Been working on the ROD?

Ken, you never cease to crack me up

You got me with your new avatar-- totally unexpected! Where do you keep and work on all of those cars? DO those new elastics hurt? They look like they ought to.

Ken I tried to find that site I looked up so I could show you, but I can't find it!

Dontcha hate that?

But if it's any comfort, it was very informative.

OKay............so how many REAL cars do you have?

6 cars? Where do you put them all??

On the subject of Little Britain, Matt Lucas and David Walliams were in Oz recently (their show was sold out, I didn't see it, btw) and David fronted up for a surf swim one Sunday morning. He posted a very credible time. He is also famous for having swum the English Channel last year.

Yep, it was quite a show apparently.

Ken, my brother brought home a mercury cougar (I think it was a 1969 model) after a couple of years studying in the States. It was originally for my dad, but when the old boy saw it, decided it didn't fit his image (suburban GP, preferred Italian cars anyway - no offence, btw). So my brother got to keep it, much to his undying pleasure. It was a great car, but when he pranged it, repairs didn't come quickly or cheaply. I think the love affair died there and then.

However, the family tradition continues.....my nephew (lives in California) has, amongst other things, a 1963 mustang stored....you guessed it....at his mother's place!
