BS. I had an X ray in July at another dental clinic and they saw nothing wrong with my left front! Ha!!!

Yes, I do. I increased calcium intake a few years ago and it did wonders to my teeth.

Previously my mouth looked like this:

One riddle is pending in 596 and a new one coming. Yesterday I spotted certain animal which I hadn`t seen on the farm for a few years. I was really amased.

Hints:
I talked about it many times before.
it is in danger of extinction.
it wasn`t afraid, I came as close as 1 metre to take a photo.

How if part D is for drugs on prescription and not dental care???

I can`t coz it was Joker who inserted his mocking remarks first so I had to reply and diminish him. But it seems you have also felt included in those financial issues. :):)


No, you can`t see well in the photo. :):):)


No, as a teacher I need to have a fresh breath and I do. I check it every week. Ha!!! :):):)

Actually, not. :):):) I mentioned the cost of dental service in Poland to laugh at Americans who have to pay for tooth care through the nose and a lot of them can`t afford it so they go toothless like you. hahahaha


He warned me it wasn`t a fix which will last 100 years. But even a few years will be OK. Then I will have a crown replacement.

I could give you a riddle on how it happened but you wouldn`t guess in 1000 years so let me reveal it happened while I was eating a leek from my field. I started from the green part aka leaves but tried to bite off too many, namely about 5, at a time. I bit them off successfully and then something clanked on the plate. It was my tooth.
When I told the dentist about it, he laughed for a minute. I suppose it will become one of his dental stories shared for the amusement of patients and colleagues.

I am sorry for bothering you about my dental adventures but I am still very emotional about the whole situation. That leek broken tooth means I am really getting old. And it is getting really scary....... :(:(:(:(

Both. He is brusque in words and actions. But very effective.

Life / Typical Dentist-Hygiene in Poland [41]


Yes, extremely odd coz a day before the front part of my left front tooth had fallen off. i was really shocked coz nothing like that had ever happened to my teeth before. I took the broken piece to the dentist and he didn`t know what to do with it. He tried to fit it in but it didn`t work. So, instead of gluing the piece back as I had expected him to do, he decided to reconstruct the missing part with regular filling stuff. I must say the effect is amazing. It cost me 400 PLN - nearly 100$.

Yes. Helplessness, despair and doubt. The guy is older than me. He talks like my mother used to. That is why I still use his services though he roughly deals with patients.

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [101]

Felicjan Andrzejczak - the vocalist of cult group Budka Suflera in early 1980s.

One of their hits when he was the singer is The Night of the Comet - the catastrophic message in the lyrics was a bit disturbing. We listened to it with masochist pleasure coz it was such superb musical artistry.

Visions come to me close, closest
Stay in my head, wildest dreams
This is your stage, spotlight below
The procession of my dreams is spinning you
Where did this snow come from In the middle of summer?
Where does this saxophone come from that plays under the skull?
The mirrors of the whole world are already exploding
And time is pulsating infinitely slowly

The night of the comet is coming,
Fiery meteors are raining,
You won't find out from the newspaper
who will survive his death.

The glow, the reflections, the flood of gilding,
the Southern crosses and the stardust,
the piles of diamonds which will burn with
a cold light, until the end of days.

I can`t give you hope coz it would be cheating - sth that I strongly refuse to deal with. Forget Polish Russian alliance. As long as most Russians still cherish their sick imperial obsessions, we remain enemies. Simple.

Yesterday I went to my local dentist. He looked inside and said: Be wise and write poems. What did he mean???

Your question is asked in 2nd conditional. I teach my students that 2nd conditional imposes 0,01% chances that the mentioned activity actually happens.
Crow, your grammar (at least in the first part of your thread name) suggests that Polish Russian friendship has 0,01% chances to take place in the close and distant future. :):):)

He is good when he supports Ukraine. He is a PiS puppet and azhole when he promotes PiS controlled judges and prosecutors who refused to take legal steps on PIS` crimes when they ruled.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [83]

Generally, like many decent intelligent Poles and Polesses, I consider our current President a PiS puppet, clown and azhole who has actively contributed to damaging the political system in Poland.
However, he has had a few great moments in his presidency. E.g. when he honoured the 1943 Warsaw Jewish Ghetto Rising.
A few days ago he evoked another positive emotion in me - when he demanded that Poles/Polesses mustn`t play dirty games with delaying Ukraine`s access to the EU if the past controversies in two nations` history are not solved.
Now I am waiting for his suggestion that Poles/Polesses should apologise to Ukrainians first for the centuries of colonisation and oppression. If he does, I vow to stop calling him names.

Now, when there is a war in Europe and just beyond the Polish border, how important is what is happening in Europe and the candidates' attitude to security issues for the Polish diaspora?

We asked about this, we conducted the last survey in 2020 in the fall, so the situation was a little different, because it was before the war in Ukraine broke out. We asked about NATO and about the attitude towards Putin and about the relationship between Trump and Putin, and for the majority of the Polish diaspora, the vast majority, because for about 75 percent, the role of America in NATO and supporting NATO is very important.

The majority of the Polish community, from what I remember, it was about 60 percent, expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that President Trump and Putin had such a close relationship. That's why it seems to me that these issues are important to a large part of this community.

This means that most of Am Polonia will vote for Kamala. Amasing!!!!
