I've got a permanent retainer on my lower front teeth. It has been there for ten years or more. Most of the time I forget about it, but once a year or so I will move my tongue the wrong way and cut the bottom of it on a wire. I've done this recently and the bottom of my tongue is really sore and . . . cut

My stomach and I have the same conversation about spicy food. Unfortunately, my stomach is always right, but I always win--which means everyone loses. :(

When we went camping I met a couple that felt it was more humane to tattoo their driver's license number on their pet's belly rather than get her chipped.

Yeah.

I'm surprised Mare's shelter didn't chip her. It was automatic with Peanut's Rescue group.

I think the Little Rock animal shelter is still getting their sealegs. They didn't spay her either because their operating trailer didn't have power. They wanted us to call back and make an appointment, but I didn't have complete confidence in their vet, so we had it done at our vets.

i had one...about seven years ago (geez) and still several years since i'd had it in, i was driving and eating a snickers when suddenly there's this giant piece of metal in my mouth! i'm freaking out thinking i had a legendary case of crap-that's-not-supposed-to-be-inside-food-being-inside-my-food and had weird visions of suing or whatever until seconds later i realized there was a weird space on my bottom teeth and that was in fact my permanent retainer losing its permanence...

when i had it in i never cut it, but even though i would cease to think about it i'd habitually "play" with it with my tongue, just moving it around it 'cuz it was there, though not thinking about it...

the two blobs of cement that held it in are still on the back of two of my teeth...

Same thing happens to me. My tongue will get caught in there and get plucked like a violin string. DO NOT WANT
