He's still working on the webinar, after all this time, I can't wait to see what he comes up with

Gothic Arch Tracer "Bomb Sites"

Does anyone have a source for the plastic bomb sites used for gothic arch tracers or an STL file that they wouldn't mind sharing so that I could possibly print them? Thanks

Well, you could say I am semi retired, but busy doing some of my boys dental work, they text me asking, dad, we have a big case do you want to do it? If I want to do it, I would say yes, otherwise, send it somewhere else, out west or east or in between. I still have my third son in third year dental school, so Godwilling he is graduating soon and I want to do some of his dental work as my youngest as well before throwing the towel or may be going bigger.

I have a year n a half before I can collect full social insecurity. I'm down to four days right now. Stocks need to rebound to help me out in time of retirement. But I can see me working for a local lab part time when I throw in the towel. I have just one son who lives 1400 miles away . No grandkids . So I will need to kill some dead space at that time.

IMO, the stock market is into some very rough ride for the foreseeable future.

Gonna be another year or two before it turns around?...just asking/hedging when to buy is why I asked.

Could be more than two years, we will probably see a temporary deflationary trend for the USD against other currencies, but eventually will hyperinflate wiping out cash savings. The petro-dollar's days as world reserve currency are numbered, how will it effect us, I could only guess. I wouldn't invest in anything speculative, only in solid ventures which create real value.

{The petro-dollar's days as world reserve currency are numbered,} I agree

How does a dental lab technician retire these days? Any ideas?

Look for opportunities that will fulfill your passions. Maybe even teach dental technology?

They don't want shroom clouds anywhere... living in underground bunkers gets old after a century or two

I really wanted to tell off one dentist a some years back, but they retired & denied me that satisfaction before I had the chance. Probably best they went away & that I didn't have to work with them again.

I enjoy my work environment much more the last few years, but I'll be looking to 'retire' early from this business & finding something else to do. I'm in my 40's & work 8-4(Monday-Thursday) & 8-1 on Fridays. Nice work hours, but can't take a month off for vacations. Even the damn dentist's only take at most 1 week off at a time. I need to change this. Not sure how many more years I'll be doing this.

Someone mentioned Costa Rica or Mexico. Costa Rica 100%!
