I cant seem to find the Medeterranian blue so the next best thing is the sparkley blue. You should take a picture of the keychain you have and send it to me. I drink out of straws for the most part unless its water. I can't drink soda unless its Mountain dew coloured, red, or lighter colour.

Awh, Thankssss :) Be sure to post on here thext time you go.
Okay, here's a pic of my keyring. :D As you can see, the colors are in no semblance of order. :roll: I'm actually guessing at the Mediterranean Blue, and went by the color palette I posted on page 76. That one looked the closest to my chain. I think I got the one between the metallic purple and the darker red. But all of the blues are really nice. You have a much larger selection on yours.

I think I'm getting clear next time I go (Friday) only because I have a few functions to go to in the next month where I will have pictures taken. I will probably get color again in January.

They were ligs instead of the chain, but you get the picture. They looked more pink than lavendar on me, and yeah, I did like that one a lot. May do that one in January.

Awh next time you go in you should request a color. I one time asked my orthodontist to pick the colours for me and she said no because she would pick the most ugliest colour leftovers for me. So i was like ok nevermind ill take purple.

AM21 - that looks like the Plum Crazy powerchain I had before. Beautiful! That little space in the middle is different from mine; I never had that. I guess that is to pinpoint your midline. Cool...

Catgyrl - Thanks so much! :) I think the loop in the middle is to help close my gap. I don't really know if it has anything to do with my midline though.

BSS- Thanks! :D

Catgyrl - Since you had pretty much the same purple chain, did you have any staining with this color?

No staining, whatsoever, and trust me... I do a lot to stain them! Those were the days pre-drinking with straws. Perfect choice!

alimorgan71- Thanks! :)

Catgryl-That's good to know! I use a straw for pretty much everything I drink but I eat a lot of tomato based foods. I wasn't even thinking about staining when I picked the chain; it was more of a oooo, that's a pretty color. lol

Hey everyone,

So long since I've written here. I've been wearing powerchain on top (dark navy) and regular ligs on bottom (various colours) but at my usual every 6 week romp to the Ortho visit yesterday I decided to go Seasonal and got green on top and red on bottom.

The funny thing is I'm going to have curry tonight and I have a strong what's gonna go down; that green will become yellow. It's happened before with other colours. If that's the case I'll have it changed back next week to the dark blue I've been using. Usually by the 6 week visit mark, even this darker tone becomes a dark yellow/green.

If it turns into a super amusing bright yellow -- if not I'll be happily surprised -- I'll send a post in a few days.

By the way, my bite is firm. You can see the left side is great, but the right side needs work. You can't tell I'm wearing the Forsus, tho you can see the bump past lower lip.

I've spoken with my Ortho about my concern my teeth are "too bucky" (they were all fairly slanted in before, although that was the least of my worries) he assures me we can fix'em up (not his exact words) if I wish closer to the end. I'm definitely at the "they're going to look worse before they get better" phase. Although in many ways they've really shaped up swell.

And, grrrrr, once again I've taken pix without lipstick. Aargh.

regards, Jude
