Just like we seem to need to elect a new king here every four years we make uniforms into a class system and continue to draw imaginary lines on the earth so we can make sure we can live better than most of gods other children. Letting a dentist get something for free when that is not our...

We are in a vendor buyer relationship with the dentist. It should be a symbiotic relationship. The best we can do is decide to whom we will sell. When we find we are just being fed upon its time for a move. I've found that in most cases the cost of a remake was a cheap class in how to run a...

When I first got into the lab busniss in north Louisiana we did these and they were called shell crowns. They were hand formed from sheet gold and solder. Nasty Business for those wearing them. I have made them on preps as cast crowns with acrylic in the center an gold ceramic metal with...

Brother in law thought it would be entertaining to his kids to stick one on his forehead. He left it to long and had a nice round hicky that he had to go to work with until it went away. If you have never see a guy in a suit with a big round hicky in the middle of his forehead........Its a hoot!

I kept backup machinery or crash parts for what I could not source locally. I was a two person lab for 30 years. We scheduled our own work at 7 units a day so not making the due date was not an option. This was just one reason for having depth in what we worked with. The only big $$'s...

A backup oven or crash parts was my answer to a piece of equipment that would shut down production. I saw I had been give two hands and five digits per hand. If that redundancy was part of my design form the grand designer of everything then I figured he was trying to tell me something.

Thanks rkm. I'm not doing all that well right now but it will get better. We had our 50th wedding anniversary on July 24 Two years of crap diagnoses from local doctors and we finally find out she has terminal liver cancer from the specialist we finally went to at Baylor on the 25th of July and...
