    When a dentist tells you they don't know what to do. :eek: Don't know whether to be pleased at their honesty or annoyed that they don't know the answer.

    Patched up...for now at least.

    Is it a query relating to implants? If so, I'm happy to PM you the details of my dentist... he specialises in them and teaches implants. He's in Herts.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Not got to that point yet.

    I have a tooth with an old root canal. A few months ago a bit of the top of the tooth chipped off. That was repaired and now a bit has chipped again. On the x-ray The root canal filling doesn't go all the way down the root. Don't know why.

    Dentist doesn't want to disturb old root filling unnecessarily. Doesn't want to put a crown on a dodgy looking root filling. Doesn't want to do a repair on the top of the tooth that won't hold.

    So we all shrug.

    On leave today, built one of two shelving units (one wider than the other, choice of heights differing by 2 inches) in the garage that came from another house after various false starts resorted to youtube for instructions and now looking at the space we want the slightly shorter unit to be the wider one - but have used the shorter uprights for the narrow unit...so am now further back than when I started as I need to disassemble the one I have dome.
    I think....

    ....

    That's the trouble if you've not really got vision ... you end up building things, then seeing what you've got, before you can actually choose/decide what you wanted.

    "This one, or that one?" - dunno until I see what it looks like ... decisions...

    The push together ones can be murder to push together and worse to take apart. :(

We went there this morning its about 40 mins away...turned on the electric water and filled up the Fridge(as requested) loaded the log fire up...they will certainly need some heating on of an evening the weather has been so changeable and very few warm days really...many sunny ones many cloudy ones too...most it has been is 19..mostley 12ish though. Pond finished and the pump should arrive tomorrow so now planting up various plants and grasses and just generally trying to make it look Stunning!!!Its now raining:(....happy plants though.
    regards Dianne

    Depends on the full circumstances.

    If the debt 2 years ago was £100k, and he worked 1000 hours overtime in a year to get it down to this, then I'd say it's really well deserved.

    If, as I suspect, it's not the case, then maybe not :)

    It's similar to I've been driving since about 3.30am, and I'm currently having a coffee in Graz, Austria, despite having 3 more countries to drive through before I can actually go to bed.

    I hope that these are just itty bitty countries to drive through. Like Lichtenstein.

    Slovenia, Croatia, and about an hour in the one I'm working in for tomorrow (choice of 2, one you think is probably right), but about 600km to go.
