DH only has 2 speeds...flat out hauling butt or sleeping. He didn't come with an 'idle'. I used to try to keep up with him but my idle works just fine.

Maybe he and i are related!

Probably Emerald Ash Borers. We will likely eventually have no ash trees in this country.

Like Dutch Elm disease, such a shame all the nice Elm trees dying.

Hope you can get your husband to chill out . My friends hollered at me because they said I looked like I was walking in my sleep. I have always been a night person but, lately it's getting tougher when I need to be up early.

Maybe take a picture of him and show him just how he looks.

Pictures are sometimes rude awakenings.

We think that’s what got our big tree by our house. We have apple trees dying now too so not sure what’s going on with them.

My Dad had braces when i was in high school. I wanted braces because my 2 front teeth were crooked but they eventually staightened out.

Mine were beautiful without braces then the gap happened. Spacers went in today, next Thursday is braces. I decided to not do invisalign so it’s $5100.00 vs about $2000.00

How long do they say you'll have the braces on for DMC?

Anywhere from 18-26 months. I asked if we could be more aggressive so it’s 18 verses 26. He did not recommend it. He said young peoples teeth usually move easier then people my age and doesn’t want to torture me. He could be feeding me a line of bull too. It doesn’t cost any more or less no matter how long it takes.

He's not.
I got braces in high school. I had head gear and elastics. It was torture. Teeth being moved is painful.

Good to know, thanks! Could be a long 2 years!! He said I’ll have to have some rubber bands but didn’t say anything about head gear. I don’t feel the spacers unless I bite down...wonder if it gets worse?? Right now they aren’t bothering me at all.

Ugh.
The bands are worse than the headgear. I'm sorry you'll have to go through that.
I think headgear is more for pushing your teeth back further than for moving them forward, which is what I'm assuming they're doing to improve your gap.

Looking forward to seeing your DD's video Bruce...congrats to her!

Here they are, Senior Moves test. It is the highest moves (ie not the spinning and jumping stuff) test in ice skating. You have to pass the moves test before you can do the equivalent freestyle test. Don't think she'll be doing that one. She would have taken this test 8 years ago but her 24x7 migraine wouldn't allow her to do all the necessary practice. This stuff is WAY harder than it looks when it is done well.

The camera wasn't focusing well when I zoomed when she was at the far end of the rink. Try to ignore that part. I posted them as the 5 separate moves for shorter videos.
