When I was in sixth grade I got braces and had them taken off my sophomore year of high school (so 4 years)..I broke the retained about a week later and never went back to get it fixed. I know, a horrible thing to do after spending so much $$$ on my teeth..
Anyways, my teeth are fine, all in allignment but not as straight (obviously) as when I got the braces taken off. It's been about 4 years...It's noticeable enough that it bothers me..Not really anyone around me, no one has even mentioned it, but pictures look way different, and Im not as confident as I was years ago- about :) 'ing.
If I used something like invisaline, do you think it would help me achieve that perfect smile? Or even a new fitting for a retainer that could shift my teeth slightly?(haha..is that possible)
I didnt wear a retainer..now it's 4 years later!..It's worth asking:?
Invisalign would be perfect for "tweaking" your smile back to perfect. You will still have to wear a retainer at night after your treatment is complete.
Reply:I had my braces taken off 4-20-2004 and they gave me Invisaline retainers afterwards. I use them occasionally, but my teeth are pretty much going back in their crooked alignment (sans the four teeth that were pulled prior to the braces.) I've been wondering about this too, because I was the PERFECT patient, but when I got my retainers... it all kinda went to nothing.
The Invisaligns stain with ANYTHING... especially if you smoke or drink cola/dark drinks. Mine are cloudy, ugly, and I'd rather not wear them. So, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone no matter their lifestyle.
I'd love to see how your teeth turn out, because I need to get mine re-aligned.
Reply:get invisalign
Reply:no i disagree with you on this one pal...you have a great smile and you know that...i feel every person is self conscious about something whether their appearance whether their mental ability. anyways be happy yours is on the outside..its much more honest and you get what you see sort of deal.. and dont let no one ever tell you else wise especially yourself..i know its a war with the mirror in the morning haha...and i wish i knew something about braces and what works and what not. anyhows best wishes as always pal...

Tooth Extraction?
I recently had a tooth extracted and I was wondering if it is healing right. Are there and good web sites out that will show pictures for examples. I want to know if it looks normal.
Tooth Extraction?
WELL YOU CAN GO TO GOOGLE AND TYPE IN IMAGES OF HEALING SOCKET AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION, YOU WILL GET SOME LINKS, BUT THERE ARE NOT REALLY ANY GOOD PICS. USUALLY YOU WILL SEE THAT TEH HOLE STARTS TO CLSOE FROM OUT IN, AND THE GUM COLOR NORMALIZES AFTER A FEW DAYS FROM DARK PINK TO LIGHT PINK, NO PUS SHOULD COME OUT FROM THE SOCKET AFTER 4 DAYS OR SO.
Reply:if the put in stitches they should be coming out soon however it took mine like 2 weeks for me to start healing when i had a wisdom tooth pulled. it should look a little white not alot but a little and you should stay away from foods that clump up like rice.

How do you convince a 7 y/o to stop thumb sucking?
My daughter was already a thumb sucker in the womb.... I have the ultrasound pictures to prove it! She is now 7 and still does it. We've discussed with our doctor ways to help her to quit, we've tried all the old fashioned "remedies", tried reward/punishment system..... yes, we've tried pepper, hot oil, gloves, the stuff to make you quit biting your nails, the stuff to make you throw up..... everything. She has almost completely ruined the nail bed on that one thumb. (She will ONLY suck the right one) She has also caused her teeth to raise and create a "hole" when her mouth is closed. She's now lost one of those top front baby teeth and I'm afraid that she will ruin her "good" teeth when they begin coming in.
We've asked her about her thumb sucking and she pretty much has convinced us that it is a security thing... Like a blanket or favorite doll or something.
How can we help her feel safe and secure with out thumb sucking? HELP!!!!
How do you convince a 7 y/o to stop thumb sucking?
i too have a 7 year old girl who sucks her two fingers on the right hand and she says she just cant help it. she does it when she sleeps and is bored. your right about the teeth thing. her permanent front two teeth are bucked out cause of it and now she will need braces when older. we tried all the remedies too even putting a glove on her hand and offering a toy or out somewhere of her choice and she just cant stop. i was told patience is a virtue but it drives me insane and she knows it. nail polish works for a short time if you want to try that. good luck and let me know if you find a solution. cause i would love to hear it!
Reply:Ask her if she wants to be a "big girl" and explain that "big girls" don't suck their thumb. You don't have to do this in a demeaning way, just try to show her the ups to being "grown up" (because we all know how much they want to be grown up). Try teaching her about courage to help break the security thing. Best of luck!
Reply:Tell the child that if you don't stop sucking your thumb, you will have to get it cut off because your spit has acids in it, and it will eventually begin to eat away the skin on the thumb. Thus, amputation. I hope this helps!
Reply:dip her thumb in hot sauce everyday i don't think she will be sucking her thumb anymore.........unless she wipes it off or washes it.
Reply:Try big ole bulky gloves, sounds silly but she want be able to suck on her thumb. Just make sure that she cant get them off. Good luck
Reply:My brother had tusi problem also so we went to a dentist and he out in a thing on the roof of your mouth that did not allow your thumb to go in so that made him stop and hes never done it since and now hes 9 so for two years Good luck i would suggest going to the dentist
Reply:Sounds like you have tried my suggestions already. We use to put nasty stuff on my little sisters thumbs like you did. We also use to tell them nobody is going to want to hold their hands, big girls don't suck their finger, and anytime we saw them we'd yank it out. They eventually stopped.
Reply:There shouldn't be a punishment or a reward for her thumb sucking. She's doing it because she's insecure. It's not her fault, therefore she shouldn't be punished or rewarded for it.
Don't bring up the thumbsucking. Just sit down with her and ask her "is there anything bothering you or something you'd like to talk about?" Figure out what she's insecure about, and go from there. Once she feels secure, she'll stop sucking her thumb.
Reply:Well, I am going to go in a different direction. Take her to a dentist - she is old enough to understand and kids tend to really listen to a doctor, tend to ignore Mom %26amp; Dad. Pediatric Dentists have so many different things now. Good luck!
Reply:If the traditional methods haven't worked you may just have to wait until her peers make such fun of her for still being a baby that she'll stop on her own.
If it is a security thing, see if you can find something to replace the thumb sucking - a worry stone, bangle bracelet, whatever.
Reply:the dentist can install a sort of extra tooth retainer in the child's mouth to discourage it it worked for my friends little girl it was like shed bite her thumb if she sucked on it with it in go see the dentist not the Dr
Reply:I sucked my thumb till I was in 4th grade. But it was to go to sleep at that point-not all the time. I really needed braces because of it so my mom put a "cage" in my mouth. Some kind of pronged orthodonic thing. They probly dont use them anymore. But it worked. I only got half of my thumb in my mouth! and then I gave up. I also had a blanket and grew out of the thumb and went to the blanket.
Reply:she didn't use a pacifer while being a baby right?
Ask your dentist there's a teeth device that prevents kids from getting their thumbs on their mouth.
Reply:It is NATURAL for a child to loose their baby teeth baby teeth aren't permanent, she will be loosing ALL of them eventually. As for the formation of her mouth, that is caused by GENTICS not her thumb sucking. Leave her alone and let her have her security.
Reply:I think going online and looking up images of teeth that have grown in crookedly and show her that if she cant stop then her teeth will look as bad as the pictures. good luck!
Reply:When i was little I sucked my thumb until I was 10, and I would have kept going but my parents put this "thumb paint" on it. You can buy it but I don't know the specific name. Its called thumb paint though
Reply:My sister in law has a teenager that still sucks her thumb at night. She was taken to the dentist and he gave her a special mouth guard to wear that make it impossible to do. Over time hopefully it will break the habit.

Do i need to get braces?
Hey guys,
i am thinking of getting braces soon, but i am not sure if i need one. I am posting my pic. Can someone please tell me if i really need a braces?
Also, i have been told to remove 2 teeth from top and 2 from the bottom in order to push my teeth in. Is this normal removing teeth? Is there a big difference with the quality of orthodontists' work? I am asking this question since the first place i went quoted me $8375 but the 2nd place quoted me $6000. I live in montreal by the way.

Do i need to get braces?
The call is yours to make, all according to how much straight teeth mean to you. I did get braces, but my teeth were way bad lot worse than yours. And I did have to have two teeth on top and two on bottom removed to have them straightened. It hurt very much every month going to get them tightened again. And it also hurts because of the wires next to your gums. But if I had it to do over again I would. I love the way my teeth look now.
Reply:yes
Reply:yes you could use braces.
but if you like your teeth then there's no need :]
Reply:It depends on the kind of work you are doing, for some types of work, appearances are not very important

How honest are you?
Lets have a brief description of how you look visually - be honest - warts and all if you have them! Its nice to be able to picture someone your speaking to and sometimes you get it right. Lets see how this works out? I'm five foot three tall, size fourteen, blonde bob which really is grey but for the salon colour, green eyes and good teeth - no warts (had two removed last year) and at 56 most of the avatars pictures are too young for me and my daughter is trying to find a pic of an old bat! Grrrrrr!

I'm 5'11, size 14, blonde hair (natural) in a short bob, my bum is way too big since having my daughter but i can't be bothered to exercise, used to be a slim size 12 but ate too much when i was pregnant and still haven't lost my baby weight, feel very unattractive and have no self confidence but my little girl and my partner love me regardless so it doesn't really matter!

Is the composite resin used in dental bonding the same with the white fillings?
also, does bonded teeth look fake? i mean, can you tell the real teeth and the bonded part? it looks too good to be true in before and after pictures.
Is the composite resin used in dental bonding the same with the white fillings?
yes, it is the same, and no you shouldn't be able to tell. the only ways that you would know is if the dentist selected the wrong shade or they do a really shotty job. also if you are a heavy coffee drinker or a smoker, your "normal" part of your tooth will yellow and the bonding will stay the lighter color. also, if you whiten your teeth the bonding will not change color.
Reply:yes
Reply:There are several kinds of white fillings.
Composite fillings are also known as resin and/or plastic
This is the most common meaning of "white filling"
White fillings always look great going in and when done correctly in a dry field using the right materials are a fine solution for restoring a tooth. They do fail, everything we place has the potential for failure. When they fail it is usually noticable right away in the front of the mouth. When done in the back problems tend to get worse before they are caught so the failures tend to be more devastating to the patients pocket book and tooth.
There are also glass Ionomers and porcelain inlays.
good luck

Will there still be gaps after the braces is complete?
had my 4 of my teeth removed today and im getting braces soon. i was wondering, after my braces are complete will there still be gaps? because when i smile now, i can see the gaps...and yes i know the teeth will shift because my teeth are crowded, but im pretty sure there will still be gaps no? unless the back molars move too. sorry if im not making sense, im only 16=)
here are pictures the show the gap

Will there still be gaps after the braces is complete?
Your orthodontist recommended you have the 4 teeth out because you have small jaws with over crowding. Especially around the front area. When the braces go on, your orthodontist will use those gaps to spread your teeth around so they can all fit in. At the end you will have a full set of teeth to chew and no gaps anywhere. The spaces are vital for your treatment so dont worry, there wont be any gaps by the end of your braces treatment. Make sure you wear your retainers very well after the braces come off to ensure no gaps open up. Once you stop growing (usually by early 20's) the teeth settle.
Reply:no there will not be any gaps I've had personal experience
Reply:If there are, you can always get fake teeth. My that happened to a really good friend of mine and she has a gorgeous smile, but she is getting fake teeth soon to cover up the gaps. it all depends on the orthodontist you use, i suppose.
Reply:There will probably be no gap after they are done. You will probably have to have them on longer than normal but the results will be great!!!
Reply:I'm assuming you're talking about when you get the braces off? I couldn't really understand that, but anyways....When you take them off there shouldn't be any gaps, i think that's part of the point of having braces anyways. Just make sure you brush your teeth as often as possible (like after every meal) or you'll have spots on your teeth when you take the braces off.
I know a girl who went through that and unfortunatly she has these big white spots on her teeth.

Pure himalayan?
Heres some pictures of my cat.
is he pure himalayan or mixed with some other breed too.

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn34/...
%26amp;he has a massive over bite, kinda like buck teeth.
it was like that when i got him and im concerned it makes it harder for him to eat.
but also he has very long teeth.
Pure himalayan?
he looks more like a ragdoll Himalayans look like the cat on meet the parents almost like Persians
Reply:Beautiful cat.....How old is he?
He looks like he could be a Flamepoint Himalayan MIX. Most Himalayans have a "mashed in" face (Persian).
If this is a Himalayan / SIAMESE mix, that would account for the "regular head" and the blue eyes, too. Himalayans have blue eyes, and so do Siamese, so that would give him "double" blue-eye genes.
I raised Siamese / Himalayan kittens for over 14 years, and that's my opinion.........
Be sure to have him neutered, so he'll live a longer, healthier, happier (for both of you) life...no raging hormones, wanting out all the time, fighting with other toms, and spraying!!
Take good care of him........

Does this narrative essay contain philosophical meaning and is it A,B,C,D, or F quality?
I am in 11th grade AP English Literature and would like to know if the essay seems appropriate for a coming of age narrative. Also: is it interesting, meaningful, does it bring any questions to mind, believable (in which it is a true personal narrative), clear, or descriptive? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
A Wild Pack of Wolves
The surging air flowed freely from the gaping wound of a door behind me. A blanket of humidity greeted me now with a suffocating intoxication, quickly reminding me how nice the air-conditioned the department store had been. Trudging along, I began my exile through the parking lot to my car. I left the store behind me and filtered through other corpses that stick baked to the asphalt. My skin glistens and reflects the unforgiving yet naïve sun, the same light that gives the moon its shallow glow. The sun seemed to give this day an individual energy and reality, a true ecstasy giving a hope to those banished from the gaiety of life. Any other day I would have hurried to my car, but today I let the sun’s inescapable veracity sizzle and soak me through, as do novelties a consumer. The tint from inside the car induced the purging of what existed beyond the window from out of what withered inside. Bliss, no matter how much I thought I had wanted it, and tried to get, ended in misery. Who was I fooling; I’m no more human than a puppet that will dance with the flick of a social conformist’s wrist. It’s days like this one that the red curtain retreats before me, giving way to life’s actors who seem to dramatize the same play repeatedly while I watch and recite their next words. I could no longer eat of the apple in all its décor of waxy perfection while this picture hung vainly rotten before me like a day’s till. Is having never tasted the sweetness of truth worse than the infinite dream of a false beauty? I twisted the ignition and cranked the air-conditioning, drinking in my artificial air until I was hydrated enough to adjust to the new light of the car. I sat there, fleeing far from the recesses of the parking lot; from where I sat, I could quietly add up my whole life. However this is no more than what could be fitted inside the plastic bag that lay strewn across the adjacent seat. I sat and wondered about past memories, surfaced from spotting The Jungle Book inside the department store. I wondered, if the boy in the story had continued living with the wolves and lived a lie his whole life, would it be better or worse than living with humans. If his life continued with the wolves he would never know responsibility, love, or religion. On the other hand, is living with humans and knowing hate, jealousy, malice, and vanity better? The time for my innocence had come and left, ripped out of my cradle before I knew whom good, evil, Adam, or Eve was. As I drove away from all that wilderness of the parking lot, all the cries and howls of long ago seemingly transmuted into nothing more than the glimmers of light, reflecting from the stream of asphalt that grew longer, until it became nothing more than the infinite luminosity of the sun that trailed past the distant mountains.
“Travis…Travis…--oh there you are. Hello my name is Doctor Newton and I’ll be your doctor for the next couple of weeks. Now you just come right through this door and we’ll get started with our first session—O.K.?”
I nodded, leaving the quiet emptiness that can only come from a group of people each silently enduring the weekly pain of a not so anticipated doctors appointment. The only detectable manifestation of this pain was the occasional crinkle of a magazine page being turned. As I passed under the ominous arch of the doorframe overhead I prayed silently that I would never have to read any of those magazines again. Doctor Newton’s office was littered with pictures of babies crawling in diapers and clowns with face paint. One clown had a sad face painted on him with a single real tear on his cheek--only the tear had been caked down from all the paint.
A long pause passed before the doctor’s and my eyes met somewhere on her desk; I was sitting on some Playskool desk with paper and crayons.
“So…” the doctor said, “can you tell me why you are here today?”
Another pause passed by without a word. I questioned myself why I was here in the first place and also whether her question was entrapment. Finally, I answered, “I can’t really say, my dad wouldn’t tell me.”
After the brief conversing I was told to “draw a picture—any picture I wanted.”
So I began to draw the clown I saw earlier and a couple other familiar things. I drew for ten minutes and she complimented me on the art. I began to take quick glances at her eyes, for they said what we both knew but only one of us would admit. I wanted to leave. I could feel a stinging pain on the back of my eyes and a queasy sensation in my abdomen.
Doctor Newton cracked the edges of her lips, paused and finally asked, “How do you feel about your mother?”
I uttered silently, “I don’t know—fine I guess.”
“You don’t have any problems you want to share--you know nothing leaves this room,” said Doctor Newton.
I knew she was going to ask, and it came like a reflection in a broken mirror.
“Could you tell me a little about your relationship with your mother and how you feel about her illness?”
The whine of the Ford in the driveway and the horn blow immediately following the clap of a door usually sent happiness through me, enough to send me sailing towards the front door of the house. This evening carried no such melody, only torture. There I sat, listening to the strikes of thunder from her high-heals tear through my heart, and to an awareness of a screaming ever so true. Yet it filled me like a dream that comes like a shadow and all I could do was sit there, paralyzed on the ground next to the door. I knew something was wrong when it should have been right; I could feel the warmth of harmony’s momentary embrace grow desolate as it covered my eyes as I sat crying. The door slammed shut sending a flash of light through the room and then silently returning back beneath the door from where it had abruptly entered. I know not of money, jobs, worry, responsibility, hate, rape, illness, divorce, and now I know not my mother’s eyes before me. These things were cold and sunken, empty shells of the loving and pretty world through which I learned of good and evil. They were dead, destroyed, from another world I had not learned of but heard so much about. I moved down her face to black rivers that tainted the shores of her cheeks. Further down rested a set of vicious white edges, made visible by the panicked wrinkles that made a martyr of her face. I searched violently for my mother, but the closest thing I would ever find to her would be found only in a mirror.
Night came in, relieving shame from the earth and its creatures. I always liked the night for it unmasked the ambiguities of day and gave true shape to what had previously been blinded so childishly by the sun. Tonight I sat in bed and adjusted my eyes enough to see past the glare of the lamp out into the light of night. There was a tall eucalyptus, hunched from the irregularity of its large branches and lack of roots, which grew centered in the lawn and around it was the rest of the backyard lawn. This sanctuary of infinite youthful possibilities tonight would not find relief from the usual cry of laughter, but host the paths of two lives, each tied to survival dependent on the other’s death. The two shadows unveiling themselves, circumvented around the corners of my eyes to find one another at the base of the eucalyptus. There they scratched, bit, tore, and capsized until they became one snarled mess of the same shadow among the sea of grass. I picked up deafly howls and cries, but neither sound belonged to a definite shape. Not until the hissing stopped and one shadow floated erratically back in the direction it had came from could I tell. It was my aged smitten cat Chelsy, but she was the mound of flesh that remained. She had seen night before day, child after parent, prey facing predator, and now she and her tree would see life after death—but never would the roots be less uneven or the leaves greener.
“ ‘And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and domestic animals according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the earth was good and He approved it.
God said, Let Us make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth--,’ ”
“Why did God create us?”
“I don’t quite know, maybe God got lonely or maybe he just wanted praise,” Mommy answered. I bent my neck backwards and gawked at her. Her eyes were recoiled and wounded as before, but a little warmth still radiated in the sparkle I always remember her having. I have seen her look at others but the glint of light never shows itself.
“Honey why don’t you just let me finish so we can go to bed,” said Mommy exhaustingly.
“O.K., but I have already heard this part tell another,” I cheered.
“How about this, ‘And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some also to her husband, and he ate.
Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves apron-like girdles.
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden—’ ”
“Why did God make the tree? And was God angry at them?”
“Honey, how can a parent ever be angry at a child, except for when that child is no longer one anymore. Even then a parent’s love never dies. God doesn’t create bad people only bad situations. If you remember anything I ever tell you remember this, Love is what you don’t give not what you do give. Maybe truth is supposed to be glorious because you know what love is and you are closer to God for it. So maybe Bliss is what defines innocence and choice is what defines love. If a person doesn’t have choice can they ever really know true love?”
I was now asleep, only I was dreaming dreams that have no place inside a child. Murky dreams where I could feel my teeth come loose and scrape the sides of my mouth, then dangle from the veins that give them life. All the while I watch helplessly the scene of my Mommy willingly feeding herself to a pack of wild wolves. I feel no pain, no emotion, I only watch while I frantically try to understand why I don’t stop her. Upon waking, I could see the door to my now dark room, it was cracked transcending a long triangular light across my bed and up onto the edge of my pillow next to my face. On the illuminated sliver of my pillow I could see pools of dampness that had been absorbed into the inner depths of the cushioning. I sat there, face down wondering if the wet was from tears or saliva, for I had none on my face.
I had already been seated along side the cul-de-sac curb when the shadow of Dad’s Bronco screeched and eased to a halt, blocking the evening sun from my view. The faint circular outline of the moon could already be seen directly overhead. The curb upon which I sat was still warm, the only remnant left of the Sun’s presence in the horseshoe shaped neighborhood that crowned the hill on which it rested. I placed my right hand on the curb for I no longer needed to shield my eyes from the glare angled off from the side-view mirror on the Bronco. The brown cardboard box of memories that lay between my legs lined up with the back tire of the Bronco. These few random objects I managed to salvage before my Dad told me we had to go held no value, but they were the best I could find. A stuffed wolf Mommy had given me for Valentine’s one year sat on the surface of the opened box. Wolves for as long as I could remember had been my favorite animals but now the stuffed sentiment left me with a sickening feeling inside. The sensation wrenched onto my heart, turning it black with blood, until the failure of it all floated down to the pit of my stomach. I flipped the wolf on its face after having seen my opaquely convex reflection in the wolf’s testing eyes. Dad’s words still rung loudly in my fragile skull, forever trapping the question of what my Mommy really was. How could she be? My Mommy of six years could not have a mental illness. Could I still love her? Did she still love me? And ever more troubling, whom could I believe, my Dad or my Mommy? The only truth I could decipher was through the back window of my Dad’s Bronco, for I could see my mother’s face as it grew smaller. She was kneeling down against the garage door, each hand covering one eye; and so the sparkle was gone forever and so was I.
Although I could not bear to look up into Doctor Newton’s eyes I knew from her utter silence that she too was on the verge of tears. If she could see through all that saturation she would have found a boy who once knew the sweet clap of a rubber ball on concrete, a boy who could have told her the difference between the way a blue crayon and a red crayon smells, and too a boy that once knew the sweet taste that fruit could give in the shimmering presence of an ice-cream truck’s innocent call. But today she only found what made all those memories so precious.
Doctor Newton whispered, “that’s enough for today, you may go.”
And so I did, leaving her with nothing to look at but all those frowns of babies and clowns.

“I don’t quite know, maybe God got lonely or maybe he just wanted praise,” Mommy answered. I bent my neck backwards and gawked at her. Her eyes were recoiled and wounded as before, but a little warmth still radiated in the sparkle I always remember her having. I have seen her look at others but the glint of light never shows itself.
“Honey why don’t you just let me finish so we can go to bed,” said Mommy exhaustingly.
“O.K., but I have already heard this part tell another,” I cheered.
“How about this, ‘And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some also to her husband, and he ate.
Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves apron-like girdles.
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden—’ ”
“Why did God make the tree? And was God angry at them?”
“Honey, how can a parent ever be angry at a child, except for when that child is no longer one anymore. Even then a parent’s love never dies. God doesn’t create bad people only bad situations. If you remember anything I ever tell you remember this, Love is what you don’t give not what you do give. Maybe truth is supposed to be glorious because you know what love is and you are closer to God for it. So maybe Bliss is what defines innocence and choice is what defines love. If a person doesn’t have choice can they ever really know true love?”
I was now asleep, only I was dreaming dreams that have no place inside a child. Murky dreams where I could feel my teeth come loose and scrape the sides of my mouth, then dangle from the veins that give them life. All the while I watch helplessly the scene of my Mommy willingly feeding herself to a pack of wild wolves. I feel no pain, no emotion, I only watch while I frantically try to understand why I don’t stop her. Upon waking, I could see the door to my now dark room, it was cracked transcending a long triangular light across my bed and up onto the edge of my pillow next to my face. On the illuminated sliver of my pillow I could see pools of dampness that had been absorbed into the inner depths of the cushioning. I sat there, face down wondering if the wet was from tears or saliva, for I had none on my face.
I had already been seated along side the cul-de-sac curb when the shadow of Dad’s Bronco screeched and eased to a halt, blocking the evening sun from my view. The faint circular outline of the moon could already be seen directly overhead. The curb upon which I sat was still warm, the only remnant left of the Sun’s presence in the horseshoe shaped neighborhood that crowned the hill on which it rested. I placed my right hand on the curb for I no longer needed to shield my eyes from the glare angled off from the side-view mirror on the Bronco. The brown cardboard box of memories that lay between my legs lined up with the back tire of the Bronco. These few random objects I managed to salvage before my Dad told me we had to go held no value, but they were the best I could find. A stuffed wolf Mommy had given me for Valentine’s one year sat on the surface of the opened box. Wolves for as long as I could remember had been my favorite animals but now the stuffed sentiment left me with a sickening feeling inside. The sensation wrenched onto my heart, turning it black with blood, until the failure of it all floated down to the pit of my stomach. I flipped the wolf on its face after having seen my opaquely convex reflection in the wolf’s testing eyes. Dad’s words still rung loudly in my fragile skull, forever trapping the question of what my Mommy really was. How could she be? My Mommy of six years could not have a mental illness. Could I still love her? Did she still love me? And ever more troubling, whom could I believe, my Dad or my Mommy? The only truth I could decipher was through the back window of my Dad’s Bronco, for I could see my mother’s face as it grew smaller. She was kneeling down against the garage door, each hand covering one eye; and so the sparkle was gone forever and so was I.
Although I could not bear to look up into Doctor Newton’s eyes I knew from her utter silence that she too was on the verge of tears. If she could see through all that saturation she would have found a boy who once knew the sweet clap of a rubber ball on concrete, a boy who could have told her the difference between the way a blue crayon and a red crayon smells, and too a boy that once knew the sweet taste that fruit could give in the shimmering presence of an ice-cream truck’s innocent call. But today she only found what made all those memories so precious.
Doctor Newton whispered, “that’s enough for today, you may go.”
And so I did, leaving her with nothing to look at but all those frowns of babies and clowns.
Does this narrative essay contain philosophical meaning and is it A,B,C,D, or F quality?

Anyone ever gotten a replacement tooth?
I'm wanting to get a down right rotted, barely there molar extracted and a replacement tooth put in place. Where they do the surgery and, well, "screw" a new tooth in place. Anyone ever gotten this done that can tell me a bit about that experience or know someone who has? What about the overall total cost of something like this? I've heard it's around 1200 per tooth. Does insurance cover it? Any details or personal experiences would be appreciated. Any good websites that have pictures and details of this kind of surgery?
Anyone ever gotten a replacement tooth?
had the 'screw'' pro. done. went good. want the perm. bridge tho. if that tooth chips it starts all over.
Reply:I CHIPPED my tooth one time. and i got a filling. uhm. i couldnt tell you the cost, but i know it doesnt cost as much as my braces do!

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can't afford one. So, I'm wearing my garage door opener. I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.
You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.
I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!
I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.'
I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it 'Pumping Rust'.
I've gotten that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!
When people see a cat's litter box, they always say, 'Oh, have you got a cat?' Just once I want to say, 'No, it's for company!'
Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, 'A Good Doctor'!
Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do...write to these men?
Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals.
As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.

Can someone tell me how to insert batteries and memory card in a Canon Powershot A560?
And can they please explain it like I am a five year old. I am 73 and got roses for my birthday, and would like to take a picture of them before they open all the way.
I have the two batteries, and the door is open on the bottom of the camera. With the lens facing towards the left, it looks like the left battery should be a minus on top, now the right battery should be a plus on top, because it has a little circle on the right of it that has a plus.
Then the memory card, I read all the instructions, how to handle, how not to write on it with the wrong thing, how to slide the little metal switch up so it can be erased, deleted, I guess they mean the pictures, but how to install it, nothing, now this is my first digital camera. The memory card is a Kingston, it has an arrow on the top, and if I look on the back it has copper teeth in a line, So does the arrow mean that when you put the memory card in the copper teeth go first, and which way do I turn card, Lid will not close. Thanks

Here's a link that tells you how to install batteries %26amp; memory card. Type "install card" in the search %26amp; it will bring up page showing how to install batteries %26amp; card. If you're installing correctly, you usually need to press in with a little pressure so it clicks into place. Good luck!
Reply:please check the user guide for assistance ..
Reply:The copper teeth are the first to go into the camera (it will only go in one way ... and there should be an illustration in your manual showing that, in any case don't force anything when it comes to cameras) Keep the card "unlocked" at all times so you can use the memory card ..locking it has no real benefit to those who use them with cameras.
Loading the batteries is just like putting them in any device that uses them. The plus sign on the battery goes where plus sign is on the camera.
The other part of the equation is owning a computer and having at least intermediate skill using it. It has become the "darkroom" of the millennium, so any changes you want to make to the images are done using the photo program that comes with the camera.
Reply:Hello Anne2
I recommend to take again the instruction manual for d the card at the overview may be signed whre the slot for the card is. For the batteries I recommend to go after that what is on the camera marked.
In general the slots for the memory chips are often at one side of the cameras and a cautchuk door to open. I hope I could help.

Can you draw a picture of God, show it to someone else and have it correctly identified?
Because.... I'd bet £20 that you can't.
Now... think about this.
You could draw a picture of the Easter Bunny.... and the most deviation you would get is "rabbit" or "rabbit with eggs" or "funnily coloured rabbit".
You could draw the tooth fairy.... and the strangest response you'd get would be "winged person collecting teeth".
Draw Santa... and just about anyone in the western world would correctly identify it.
Same with a dragon.... pretty much...
There are plenty of folks out there who could identify a Griffin, Chimera or Manticore as well.... and the rest would simply claim they didn't know.
Now try drawing a picture of God.
Compare it to the next person's picture.
See if either of you could actually identify without prior knowledge what the other one had drawn.... and the responses could be anything under the sun.
I strongly doubt anyone has the slightest clue....
So...
.... Who wants to believe in THAT?

Badger claws are made for digging; not for art.

But if one of you humans could accurately draw the great Seytnurr... any Badger would recognise him.
Any other god? You'd have a bit more trouble there.
The old Egyptian human gods were easily identifiable. Some of the Norse ones too. The Greek / Roman ones not quite so much. The Abrahamic one? No hope.

Advice for braces???
Im 16 and the dentist said i needed braces. but i love to take picture of myself and i dont want braces to get in the way and make me look bad. plus i would need them for 2 years, that mean i will have to have them for my senior year pictures. and i dont want to wait to college to have them. i want to get them now to get it over with. the dentist also said i do not qualift for invisiline. and i would proabably look bad with braces since my teeth are so small. also everyone in my grade had them and already had them all. and everyone has perfect teeth. no one has braces anymore and i dont want to be the only one to have them. I need help... should i get them or not????
Advice for braces???
id get them, there totally worth it in the end. Ive had mine on for about a year now but i love them because i know that my teeth will be gorgeous when i get them off. they shouldn't look bad on your teeth though.
but you need to do everything that they tell you to do, i mean floss and mouthwash etc. the better you take care of your teeth the less complications therefore you can sometimes get them off earlier.
if you do get braces, right before your appointments make sure to take some pain meds so your mouth doesn't get super sore at first.

Reply:I would get them now, and get them over with. You can always do a smile in your senior pictures where you're not showing your teeth and it would still look good. Just focus on your lops in the picture. Good luck, it really won't be that bad. You'll have a nice smile when they come off.

Reply:yeah i will so be worth it in the end and plus if they make fun of you for having braces its way better than having people make fun of your teeth
i hope you get really straight teeth in 2 years :)
Reply:You can atully get braces and the INSIDES of your teeth, so no one can see them! It's great for adults or older people who dont want to be seen in braces!

Advice for braces???
id get them, there totally worth it in the end. Ive had mine on for about a year now but i love them because i know that my teeth will be gorgeous when i get them off. they shouldn't look bad on your teeth though.
but you need to do everything that they tell you to do, i mean floss and mouthwash etc. the better you take care of your teeth the less complications therefore you can sometimes get them off earlier.
if you do get braces, right before your appointments make sure to take some pain meds so your mouth doesn't get super sore at first.

Photoshop this pic for me please?
In both of these pics my teeth look really crooked, if the two front teeth could be fixed in both pics that'd be awesome.
Lighting on my face in pic 07038 be fixed (make it look better, like it wasn't there)
can you separately work on a "new" third picture after the above fixes are made:
Can my head be moved from pic 07038 to pic 07037?
So I would get back 3 pictures 07037%26amp;07038 fixed and the combined 07037and07038

What makes a person Powerful?
Today in world history, we talked about when Egypt and Nubia collaborated. They had two picture of two rulers in our books, and she asked us why might they not be smiling. The corret answer was they did not want to show their teeth because they were not perfect, and perfect teeth show power. So then she assigined us a project about what makes a person powerful, and she asked us to ask around to see what people though, and then take what they said and find similar pictures to match what they said. So what do you think makes a person powerful. Powerful as in, makes us want them, want to be them, for us to envy them. Basically for them to have some sort of power in any way over us. Please help me
What makes a person Powerful?
A powerful person must have 2 things, lots of money and political influence.
Reply:i will say something stupid to get points hiii
Reply:do it yourself

Reply:Having control is power being able to change something is having power
Reply:if they have a lot of money and are strong. if they own a buisness or head of something important. famous people usualy have power.
Reply:You've lost me - referring to the egyptian's I would say one who was buried in a pyramid - because they had riches in life and in death in accordance with their belief.
Reply:well,native americans it is to believe spirit is the most powerful thing.....everything has spirit.
Reply:Powerfull people can either be physically stronger or mentally.
People in power are good leaders, they have a lot of experience in life, they have to be really good decision makers, they also have to do something good for the people to gain their support. Like a politician can't advertise military power and murder, they have to talk about things that will make the people feel happy and improve their lives. Basically a powerfull person is someone who you can trust and let them guide you in life.
Reply:This is a very good question,I think.Some people would say money equals power,others family and relationships(love).
Money may have advantages,as far as medical care prolonging life,making life easy,bending others to your will(money talks).
On the family side,the push and support from family and friends may grant you inner power.
The truth is,the only real power is realizing you have none what so ever,that it is an illusion,you may get to control some things for awhile,but in the end ,you really have no real control
Reply:I would suggest you look up the word "charisma", on the web.
Of course, money equals power, and will in most situation negate charisma.
Then, of course, you may by accident of birth, be born into a powerful family.
Interesting assignment, your teacher is to be complemented.
Enjoy.

Which is prettier?
Of course you can't really know because I don't have pictures. Don't tell me that cause I already know. Just try to picture the faces and then tell me #1 or #2.
#1 Died Dark brown shoulder length hair with a slight natural wave to it. Very dark brown eyebrows. Heart Shaped face. Very large green/grey eyes. Slightly upturned and short nose. Very large, naturally dark, and definied lips. Perfect beige skin (no blemishes, scars, unevenness in tone) and no freckles. Wide smile, widely shaped white teeth.
#2 Natural brown hair with many natural blonde highlights on top--loose natural curls down to a mid back length. Oval face. Light blondish eyebrows. Small yet really bright blue eyes, deep set (set kind of like an asian girls', though she has no asian in her). Long nose. Freckles in a bridge across the nose and cheeks with a few strays across the face. Very dark lips, the upper one pretty thin but the lower one extremely full and curved. Long white teeth.
Which is prettier?
#2. I think the first one sounds too perfect, and the second ones seems a bit
prettier.
Reply:#1 the whole pretty skin thing got me
Reply:Died Dark Brown
Reply:Number 2. I just like long hair.
Reply:I actually think the first one sounds prettier. It's like you said, though, you don't have pictures so you can't be for sure, but it definately sounds like the first one would be more beautiful than the second.

HELP is it INFECTED???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
My brother calls me up and tells me that he was bitting his nails one day and it slip and it cut his gum line and i asked him if his hands were cleaned but i already knew the answer was no, and it was no because he was working on a car and soo he probably had black dirty nails... Anyways soo i saw it after i think he said 2 days and it looks like a volcano waiting to errupt... i try and scare him telling him thats a serious infection and it if gets to your teeth it will make your teeth rott.... but i also told him to keep touching his teeth and make sure they dont wiggle...
question is what could it be besides an infection, how serious can it be if its not treated ASAP? he bought mouth wash and some medication to num the pain, but just imagine a real big soar between 2 teeth on the gum line and it looks 3 times big red and well bright red. does he need to pop it, should he let a dentist do it? he said after walking for a whyle it got worse
Any pictures to compare?google?
HELP is it INFECTED???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Visit your dentist right away %26amp; never "pop" anything in your mouth.
Reply:Go to a dentist.
Reply:DON'T POP IT. Make him go to a dentist for an emergency appointment. This sounds serious, so don't do anything to it before you go to the dentist.

My jaw is not straight from the left side?
I realized when looking on the mirror that there's a gap between my upper denture %26amp; my lower denture. The dentist asked me if I was sucking my thumb when I was a small kid only from the left side but I said no.
It does not look that bad but it is quite noticable because my mouth does not appear straight in pictures %26amp; that's quite ugly.
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff236...
What can I do about that? Is there any kind of jaw/denture/mandible plastic surgery?
P.S.= I inherited this from my mother she has also a wry jaw.
My jaw is not straight from the left side?
I would imagine that there is some kind of surgery that you could have but if it is for purely cosmetic reasons, your insurance will not likely pay for it.
I think you are putting to much emphasis on it. It really looks fine to me.

Photoshop....where to find it?
I've seen lots of websites with photoshopped celebrities- either makeing them look better, worse, obese, or anorexic. Where can I find a program so I can do that to my pictures? Also where can I find a program to change eye and teeth color? I can do it on my own but it looks kinda crappy and it take forever- I've heard there's something called photoshop that does stuff like that for you.
And please tell me what they r called don't just say go to walmart or something, tell me what program it's called AND where to find it
Photoshop....where to find it?
Photoshop is the industry-standard image editing program for art and design professionals. This is not a cheap program -- buying the full version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 is $695. A less expensive version of Photoshop that will still do what you are asking for is Adobe Photoshop Elements for $90. You can buy these programs at many stores, including Best Buy and the Apple Store.
Please be aware that there are no software programs that do that "stuff for you." You can do what you are asking for in these programs, but you still need to learn how and practice doing it well.

Try the free Paint.net, PhotoFiltre 6 or GimpShop, Google for them by name.
Reply:As a graphics professional, let me bite my tongue very hard and attempt to answer you nicely. Photoshop is a rather sophisticated, high-end photo manipulation and digital painting program. It takes YEARS to master. It is more akin to a canvas and paintbrush than a "program" that "does things for you". Somehow the term "Photoshop" has worked its way into pop culture allowing anyone and his brother with a computer to believe he is an artist. Do not waste your money unless you are artistically gifted and plan to spend years studying if you expect any kind of results which are not laughable.
Reply:I would have to say that Paint Shop Pro is a favorite of many programmers and "techies" without a lot of sophisticated design experience (including myself). It has a free 90 day trial and after that it only costs $99 to buy! It also has some decent macros for fixing eye and teeth color... not 100% automated but makes it very simple.
I don't know about making celebrities fatter or anorexic, but I'm sure it is easier than Photoshop -- which I can't stand for reasons that have nothing to do with design or imaging.

Holes and sores in mouth?
I have had a extremely painful mouth for several weeks now. It started with what seems to be a canker sore just under my tongue by the last molars so it rubs against the tooth. Any tongue movement at all is very painful. Then I started to develop cankers in the front of my mouth between the inside of my lip and bottom teeth. But now i have noticed that they are actually large holes just underneath the tooth. To make things worse i have 4 of these all through the bottom gum. These 4 holes plus the sores on my tongue(another one is appearing on the other side of the tongue) makes for an extremely painful time while trying to eat, drink or even swallow. There are 2 things that I think could've caused these: I went to the dentist and got several molds, x-rays and pictures taken. I had lots of things put in to my mouth. Also around that time, I had tried to whiten my teeth with Crest Whitening strips. I need help.
Holes and sores in mouth?
too much oral?
Reply:Those "holes" are infected with bacteria. You can either start yourself on an intensive regimen of gargling with mouthwash atleast twice a day- preferably after anything you eat or drink(except plain water) or you can go to the Doc for something stronger.
Frankly, with that level of damage I recommend going to the doc for a something stronger.
In college I had a canker sore get out of control and they gave me a suspension of tetracycline. Burned like hell especially on the damaged spot, but did the job.
Reply:Whoa, go see a doctor asap. Holes in your gums is serious business. You may have something very very serious, see a doctor now.

Really long please help custody battle?
This is LONG..
I was 16 and this guy was 15 (he told me he was 16) Thats my Daughters so called "father" his name is Marc. We met and I went on a rebellion streak and moved out of my house where I was living with my mom and her boyfriend and into an apartment where him and his mom and dad were staying. His mom left her husband, marc's dad, for Marcs uncle, his dads brother, We all moved into a house, Marc started doing drugs, I became pregnant, Marc started working for this guy named Rick , I think he was selling drugs for him but I dont know for sure, Anyways..Marc's uncle started acting funny towards me, I would catch his staring at me and he was just creepy, so Marcs boss told us he owned a duplex building and we could stay in one of the little duplexs, this place was horrible. It had no locks on the windows, holes in the doors where anyone could reach their hand and unlock it completely, it had roaches, rats, opossums, for the first week I stayed there it had no electricity the whole time I stayed there it had no hot water. I was there for a few weeks and MArc started acting WEIRD, He would come home all doped up crawling on the floor, I would ask him what he was doing and he would say I am picking up dirt, I am a neat freak, there was NO dirt on the floor. He would accuse me of doing meth screaming it's all over the walls, he would come home and pass out on the couch or on the bed, then eventually he just stopped coming home. I moved out as soon as he saw someone breaking into our bedroom window. which I still to this day dont know if its true. Anyways, I moved back with my mom and stayed there for a few weeks before Marc had to take another UA cause he was on probation , he failed it with meth,heroine and marijuana..Tonya Marc's mom had a bright idea of me going to live out with them in what I would later find out was In The Middle Of No Where, TX. So marc wouldnt get sent to juvi here.We went and moved with His cousin Johnny her Wife Tammy and they had a son together. Marc ended up taking a bunch of vitamins and drinking a gallon of water and passing his last pee test and so they let him off of probabrion and his drug use just got WORSE..The whole time they treated me like **** and they sat around and did nothing but smoke weed.. They ended up cleaning out this shed like thing that literally used to be a barbershop. I stayed in there for I guess a month or two until Tonya finally decided to go back to San Antonio where I came from. On the way there I was in the middle of screaming to death from a horrible kidney infection. I got to the hospital and had to stay there for days I found out I was having a girl and the Marc had left even though the nurse told him we were going to do an ultrasound to guess where..RICKS.. I went and lived with my mom and only once did Marc ever call this was our conversation
Me:"Hello"
Marc:"Yes Stephanie?"
Me:"Yes"
MArc"Hows the baby?"
Me:"fine..Where are you?"
Marc: hangs up the phone
I then moved across town to a bigger apartment with my mom her bf and my brother. I had my daughter November 15th of 2005. My dad shortly after told me Tonya, marcs mom, had been calling him. I called her, she seemed happy that I had the baby but I didnt speak to Marc even though he was there.
When my daughter Mikalla was 6 weeks old I met my now fiance Adam, He had a son too who was 2 at the time and Adam was great with Mikalla, she was colicky and he was the ONLY person who could put her to sleep.
When Mikalla was about 3 months old I brought her over to the house that Marc was staying at with his mom and dad. I waited for hours, he called and said he couldnt come because he was going to look at a car with Rick. He asked if I could come back tomorrow and I said yes. I came back the next day and he never showed, never called, nothing, never called the next day to give me an explanation. I left. I ended up getting pregnant again this time by Adam, he just asked too much from me and I couldnt take it so I left him and moved with Tonya to a place 5 hours away. I stayed there with her and her husband and like 3 other strangers, there was too much drama and I just wanted to be with my family. Marc showed up and the whole time he was around he never payed any mind to My daughter Mikalla, and if he did it was while I wasnt around. I ended up moving to my brothers and living there up until I was about 6 months pregnant I offered many times to let them come to my brothers house and see Mikalla but the only thing they wanted to do was take her back to where they live that was over an hour away. I had no transportation or anything so I said no because if something bad were to happen I wouldnt be able to be there for her. They got so upset and offended they called and started yelling at me and the whole name calling and it was ridiculous. I then moved back to san antonio to be with Adam again, we lived together, had our son together, we are getting married soon, everything was going great until The Attorney Generals Office told me I had to file child support or else my daughter couldnt be on medicaid. So thats what I did. Then my mom told me that Tonya was calling and leaving messages trying to get ahold of me she also said she spoke with Tonya and Tonya told her Marc has a girlfriend now whos name is Candi remember that name youll see it again soon..and that Marcs new girlfriend was pregnant. so I was doing a little snooping and found a Candi from the same Livingston Texas where Tonya was calling from that had Due September 18, 2007 on her headline,I sent her an email asking if she was marc g/f and she never responded for weeks so I asked a few people that went to Livingston HighSchool if any of them knew her and they told me her name was Candi King and she had a baby in the toilet at school and she dropped out and they havent seen her since. So I looked Tonyas number up on the internet stupidely and called her hoping she wouldnt be such a ***** but the only thing she wanted to do was cry to me about how her dad died and he didnt get to see Mikalla, I let her take Mikalla to see him before he passed away and he refused to see her is that my fault? no. She thinks it is though. she cried to me about how she lost her daughter, Her daughter was 18 she was handicapped could see couldnt move or anything. I never got to meet her daughter but I will tell you her name is Candy, yes the same name as Marc girlfriend. Marc told me that when he was younger, he saw his dad, havind sex with his own daughter. Marc told his mom, she didnt believe him and its not like his sister could say anything about it. Marc was almost crying when he told me that, and so I knew it was true. Anyways, I spoke with Tonya and she asked if she could come see Mikalla just her and Danielle which is just some girl my age who has known tonya for a long time. I told them yes but then I forgot that I had a wedding to go to the weekend they wanted to see Mikalla, it was my brothers wedding and it was out of state. I told them this a few days later when she called again and she started crying again, but before she called back MArc called me and asked if he could see the pictures of Mikalla online which i later found out was just for his mom to see, I was like WTF then I checked my Myspace and she had responded with this...
yeah we are about to get married and have a son ... why do u want to know? well anyways how is his daughter doing? what does she look like? but anyways me and marc are happy and about to have a son ... how do u know me tonya said you know me but i would like to know how... well talk to u later

So I wrote herback and said this
No hun, I don't know you, I have friends that went to Livingston School and know you, I was trying to get ahold of Marc to tell him about the attorney general. By the way Congrats on the baby, and I am glad that you and Marc are doing good. Yeah, I am in the process of moving in with my fiance, As soon as he has a day off of work and we can find a sitter for the babies we're gonna go downtown to get our marriage license. Mikalla is doing good, she getting big, getting lots of teeth.. I would take my profile off of private for you to see some pictures but I kinda have some stalkers.
Then Marcs girlfriend calls me back asking if they could come see Mikalla here at my house and I was like NOOOO cause Adam would kill me. she then went onto saying that she was a better parent than me and yadda yadda even though she gave her child up for adoption and is only pregnant while I have been raising two kids this whole time. Me and her got into an arguement and she ended up hanging up on me so I called back and was going to tell Marc not to have his girlfriend call my phone anymore and instead his dad answered the phone and said if I called back one more time he was going to file "phone harrasment" on me and I would be talking to their attorney soon. So me being stubborn called back and told them that I have 20 missed calls on my caller ID from this number so dont make threats to me..I knew it was being recorded but didnt care..so then I decided to stop talking to them and Tonya calls back and I get someone to answer the phone and say that I was here. Marcs girlfriend levaes me a message on myspace again saying this
well thinks for screwing up the only chance for marc to see his little girl.... and u should stay the hell out of my biss cause it is none of your biss... u said u would let us see mikalla and now u want to be a butt and not do it thanks alot steph.. and intil u can grow up and let tonya and the **** family have pics of mikalla u need to quit calling the house cause i am not going to let u talk to marc.... u really hurt my man nad my inlaws and now i have to fix that thanks ... and i hope u are happy....

and I responded with this
And who is this "WE" ****? I only told Tonya and Danielle they could. No one else. I'm not worried about a thing, Mikalla already see's Adam and starts crying "Dada!" Marc may be her little sperm donor but he will never be her daddy. Wow, and you actually think that I am going to care if I don't get to speak to Marc? Marc is **** to me. He's nothing. I don't need to know your business, everyone freely tells me. Last I heard you were the laughing stock of the school you were attending.
I don't know why you actually think you are someone, just because Marc lets you run all over him you think you are Miss Boss now? Why don't you get out of Hilly Billy Hell and be apart of the real world. You have no say so if Marc pays child support. They take it out of his check. You have no say so when it comes to my daughter because your not her parent. It's betwwen me and him. Its called co-parenting. For someone who is suppose to be such a mature parent and adult, you don't know ****.
Then yesterday they called again but I didnt answer the phone. I go to court on the 6th and they said I have to go or else they will put a warrant out for my arrest, I can't let my daughter go 5 hours away with a complete stranger(a stranger to her) she cant go to the grocery store with me which isnt a mile away without getting car sick and thowing up everywhere much less over 300 miles. I dont know if he still does drugs, I dont know if he still smokes a pack of cigs a day inside the house along with his mom and dad. I cant let my daughter inhale that much smoke, I cant let my daughter be in a house with a possible child molester. I dont know what to do. I want to just move out of the country because I cant willingly hand over my daughter to this asshole and let my daughter be exposed to his life style not to mention that Adam has been raising her as his own for the past almost 17 months, marc has never spent a penny on her, adam has bought EVERYTHING for her. He hasnt asked about her except when she ws still inside my uterus. I hav NO IDEA what to do, I have to fight but I dont know any of the legal crap, I cant afford an attorney, I am writing this at 6am I have been up all night every night with insomnia because I cant stop thinking about it. I am so confused. I just need advice or help, I dont care about the child support I care about the well being of my daughter and he is NOT whats best for her.
Really long please help custody battle?
get a lawyer, child welfare will provide one. if he is a drug user, has a record, has had no contact and no support, then you can stop him from getting her.
get to child welfare today. sounds like she's in danger.
Reply:You ALL need to do some growing up before you bring any more kids into the world. I feel SO sorry for your little girl.
Reply:Good lord what a mess. Your poor child.
Obviously when you go into court you'll have to tell the judge about his drug use, criminal record, and the fact that there's a sex offender living with him. Sorry to break it to you but the fact that he doesn't pay child support or hasn't called in months will make no difference. It should yes, but it doesn't.
Reply:After all of this, you should move far away and tell your family and friends that they better not even think of telling anyone where you're at and if they do, you will move again and no one will ever hear from you again.
Reply:wow. what they make us go threw to keep medicad. and when you start making too much money they drop you from medicad. sucks. ok, if you have never had a dna test tell your court appointed lawyer and also say i really dont think he is the dad. from that point on he will have to get a dna test. they will scare you with the fact of if he is the dad you will have to pay for that test. but, more then likely his lazy butt wont get tested. that's what happened with my kid over 14 years ago here in indiana. see if your babys daddy will sign a statement giving away the rights to the baby, and that your new husband will adopt the child. everytime he calls and gets weirded out get a restraining order. same for his girlfriend/fiance. good luck, pray alot, and remember to document everything said promised and done in a little book with dates and time. this way you can show your book to the judge if needed to prove you have been keeping tract of everything. take pictures of your child before she goes to his home and afterwords digital cameras make this task easier. dont post anything to my space. dont share her pictures, dont take pity on his relatives or him. do only what you are ordered to do by the court. loose lips sink ships and remember the more info about your private life you put out the more they can use against you later. even if it seems innocent. attend church it will look good for the court and it cant hurt your family life. remember your not the only one to go threw times like these. keep hanging on and praying.

Marc ended up taking a bunch of vitamins and drinking a gallon of water and passing his last pee test and so they let him off of probabrion and his drug use just got WORSE..The whole time they treated me like **** and they sat around and did nothing but smoke weed.. They ended up cleaning out this shed like thing that literally used to be a barbershop. I stayed in there for I guess a month or two until Tonya finally decided to go back to San Antonio where I came from. On the way there I was in the middle of screaming to death from a horrible kidney infection. I got to the hospital and had to stay there for days I found out I was having a girl and the Marc had left even though the nurse told him we were going to do an ultrasound to guess where..RICKS.. I went and lived with my mom and only once did Marc ever call this was our conversation
Me:"Hello"
Marc:"Yes Stephanie?"
Me:"Yes"
MArc"Hows the baby?"
Me:"fine..Where are you?"
Marc: hangs up the phone
I then moved across town to a bigger apartment with my mom her bf and my brother. I had my daughter November 15th of 2005. My dad shortly after told me Tonya, marcs mom, had been calling him. I called her, she seemed happy that I had the baby but I didnt speak to Marc even though he was there.
When my daughter Mikalla was 6 weeks old I met my now fiance Adam, He had a son too who was 2 at the time and Adam was great with Mikalla, she was colicky and he was the ONLY person who could put her to sleep.
When Mikalla was about 3 months old I brought her over to the house that Marc was staying at with his mom and dad. I waited for hours, he called and said he couldnt come because he was going to look at a car with Rick. He asked if I could come back tomorrow and I said yes. I came back the next day and he never showed, never called, nothing, never called the next day to give me an explanation. I left. I ended up getting pregnant again this time by Adam, he just asked too much from me and I couldnt take it so I left him and moved with Tonya to a place 5 hours away. I stayed there with her and her husband and like 3 other strangers, there was too much drama and I just wanted to be with my family. Marc showed up and the whole time he was around he never payed any mind to My daughter Mikalla, and if he did it was while I wasnt around. I ended up moving to my brothers and living there up until I was about 6 months pregnant I offered many times to let them come to my brothers house and see Mikalla but the only thing they wanted to do was take her back to where they live that was over an hour away. I had no transportation or anything so I said no because if something bad were to happen I wouldnt be able to be there for her. They got so upset and offended they called and started yelling at me and the whole name calling and it was ridiculous. I then moved back to san antonio to be with Adam again, we lived together, had our son together, we are getting married soon, everything was going great until The Attorney Generals Office told me I had to file child support or else my daughter couldnt be on medicaid. So thats what I did. Then my mom told me that Tonya was calling and leaving messages trying to get ahold of me she also said she spoke with Tonya and Tonya told her Marc has a girlfriend now whos name is Candi remember that name youll see it again soon..and that Marcs new girlfriend was pregnant. so I was doing a little snooping and found a Candi from the same Livingston Texas where Tonya was calling from that had Due September 18, 2007 on her headline,I sent her an email asking if she was marc g/f and she never responded for weeks so I asked a few people that went to Livingston HighSchool if any of them knew her and they told me her name was Candi King and she had a baby in the toilet at school and she dropped out and they havent seen her since. So I looked Tonyas number up on the internet stupidely and called her hoping she wouldnt be such a ***** but the only thing she wanted to do was cry to me about how her dad died and he didnt get to see Mikalla, I let her take Mikalla to see him before he passed away and he refused to see her is that my fault? no. She thinks it is though. she cried to me about how she lost her daughter, Her daughter was 18 she was handicapped could see couldnt move or anything. I never got to meet her daughter but I will tell you her name is Candy, yes the same name as Marc girlfriend. Marc told me that when he was younger, he saw his dad, havind sex with his own daughter. Marc told his mom, she didnt believe him and its not like his sister could say anything about it. Marc was almost crying when he told me that, and so I knew it was true. Anyways, I spoke with Tonya and she asked if she could come see Mikalla just her and Danielle which is just some girl my age who has known tonya for a long time. I told them yes but then I forgot that I had a wedding to go to the weekend they wanted to see Mikalla, it was my brothers wedding and it was out of state. I told them this a few days later when she called again and she started crying again, but before she called back MArc called me and asked if he could see the pictures of Mikalla online which i later found out was just for his mom to see, I was like WTF then I checked my Myspace and she had responded with this...
yeah we are about to get married and have a son ... why do u want to know? well anyways how is his daughter doing? what does she look like? but anyways me and marc are happy and about to have a son ... how do u know me tonya said you know me but i would like to know how... well talk to u later

So I wrote herback and said this
No hun, I don't know you, I have friends that went to Livingston School and know you, I was trying to get ahold of Marc to tell him about the attorney general. By the way Congrats on the baby, and I am glad that you and Marc are doing good. Yeah, I am in the process of moving in with my fiance, As soon as he has a day off of work and we can find a sitter for the babies we're gonna go downtown to get our marriage license. Mikalla is doing good, she getting big, getting lots of teeth.. I would take my profile off of private for you to see some pictures but I kinda have some stalkers.
Then Marcs girlfriend calls me back asking if they could come see Mikalla here at my house and I was like NOOOO cause Adam would kill me. she then went onto saying that she was a better parent than me and yadda yadda even though she gave her child up for adoption and is only pregnant while I have been raising two kids this whole time. Me and her got into an arguement and she ended up hanging up on me so I called back and was going to tell Marc not to have his girlfriend call my phone anymore and instead his dad answered the phone and said if I called back one more time he was going to file "phone harrasment" on me and I would be talking to their attorney soon. So me being stubborn called back and told them that I have 20 missed calls on my caller ID from this number so dont make threats to me..I knew it was being recorded but didnt care..so then I decided to stop talking to them and Tonya calls back and I get someone to answer the phone and say that I was here. Marcs girlfriend levaes me a message on myspace again saying this
well thinks for screwing up the only chance for marc to see his little girl.... and u should stay the hell out of my biss cause it is none of your biss... u said u would let us see mikalla and now u want to be a butt and not do it thanks alot steph.. and intil u can grow up and let tonya and the **** family have pics of mikalla u need to quit calling the house cause i am not going to let u talk to marc.... u really hurt my man nad my inlaws and now i have to fix that thanks ... and i hope u are happy....

and I responded with this
And who is this "WE" ****? I only told Tonya and Danielle they could. No one else. I'm not worried about a thing, Mikalla already see's Adam and starts crying "Dada!" Marc may be her little sperm donor but he will never be her daddy. Wow, and you actually think that I am going to care if I don't get to speak to Marc? Marc is **** to me. He's nothing. I don't need to know your business, everyone freely tells me. Last I heard you were the laughing stock of the school you were attending.
I don't know why you actually think you are someone, just because Marc lets you run all over him you think you are Miss Boss now? Why don't you get out of Hilly Billy Hell and be apart of the real world. You have no say so if Marc pays child support. They take it out of his check. You have no say so when it comes to my daughter because your not her parent. It's betwwen me and him. Its called co-parenting. For someone who is suppose to be such a mature parent and adult, you don't know ****.
Then yesterday they called again but I didnt answer the phone. I go to court on the 6th and they said I have to go or else they will put a warrant out for my arrest, I can't let my daughter go 5 hours away with a complete stranger(a stranger to her) she cant go to the grocery store with me which isnt a mile away without getting car sick and thowing up everywhere much less over 300 miles. I dont know if he still does drugs, I dont know if he still smokes a pack of cigs a day inside the house along with his mom and dad. I cant let my daughter inhale that much smoke, I cant let my daughter be in a house with a possible child molester. I dont know what to do. I want to just move out of the country because I cant willingly hand over my daughter to this asshole and let my daughter be exposed to his life style not to mention that Adam has been raising her as his own for the past almost 17 months, marc has never spent a penny on her, adam has bought EVERYTHING for her. He hasnt asked about her except when she ws still inside my uterus. I hav NO IDEA what to do, I have to fight but I dont know any of the legal crap, I cant afford an attorney, I am writing this at 6am I have been up all night every night with insomnia because I cant stop thinking about it. I am so confused. I just need advice or help, I dont care about the child support I care about the well being of my daughter and he is NOT whats best for her.
Custody battle really long but plz help me?
Ok first. Way too much Information.
If i finally got down to your question... it's how do I legally keep my crazy ex sperm donor away from daughter...
Go talk to Child Protective services. You can file for child support and during the hearing ( all of which the state will pay for. Your attorney and everything) the court will establish visitation or you can petition for no visitation with the judge. Seeing as he has a past criminal record and record of drug abuse it shouldn't be hard to restrict his visitation with the child.
All you have to do is contact child protective services or the department of human services and they will help you.

Reply:May I ask why you are breeding? This whole damn story is rediculous. It is like Days of Our Lives. I think every child involved should be taken away. None of you seem fit to raise kids.
Reply:you are right that is very long. You need to do some thinking before you go to court. Child support and custody battles are never pleasant. They are going to bring up everything that you have ever done. You need to do alittle growing up your self. I know that sounds very harsh I did to when i first had my son. You didn't have your mind made up when your and Marc child was in the proccess of being inside of you. You would leave and then come back and live in living situatioins for a short period of time that were very unhealthy for you and a child. It sounds like you have made your mind up on who you want to be with now. Adam is a good person for raising your child even though it isn't his that can be very hard to do so give him props. It isn't all about who can buy things for them yes they do need things and they are very expensive but it is all about love. You do need to let (Marc) see his daughter if he wants to. When you have him pay child support that will be one of the rules that you have to let him have her on some holidays and on weekends sometimes. When you go to court they are going to bring that up that he wants to see her and you won't let him. I understand that he isn't perfect by any means but they are going to bring it up. Marc is her father weither you like what he is or not. She has a right to know who her biological father is. I know that this sounds very harsh but you and marc made your child together and you said earlier that it was called co-parenting well then you need to let him do that too. For the girlfriend you knew what you were doing by trying to contact the girlfriend and you must have some feelings for marc if he wasn't in your alls life and you went trying to get his new pregnant girlfriends scoop who you didn't know and you aren't part of their childs life either. I am not sure in the state of texas for sure but in most states you don't have to have child support to be on medicade. They are going to bring up every financial situation that you yourself are in and your new boyfriend. You are in for a long drawn out battle. This thing may not be decided in a court appearance one time. It may take a couple of months and be prepared to be insulted in court and hear things that you may not want to hear. I am trying to warn you I deal with this kind of stuff every day. For advice you need to leave his girlfriend out of the picture and only deal with Marc. If he calls or their number calls find out if it is him on the other end and if so listen to what he has to say. If he wants to come and visit her then you let him and if Adam has a problem then you need to think about that too. Adam needs to understand that you and marc have a child and marc is going to be a part of your alls like good or bad. You need to show records and proof that you are willing to make an effort to let marc see his child and then they can't hold that against you in court.

I was 16 and this guy was 15 (he told me he was 16) Thats my Daughters so called "father" his name is Marc. We met and I went on a rebellion streak and moved out of my house where I was living with my mom and her boyfriend and into an apartment where him and his mom and dad were staying. His mom left her husband, marc's dad, for Marcs uncle, his dads brother, We all moved into a house, Marc started doing drugs, I became pregnant, Marc started working for this guy named Rick , I think he was selling drugs for him but I dont know for sure, Anyways..Marc's uncle started acting funny towards me, I would catch his staring at me and he was just creepy, so Marcs boss told us he owned a duplex building and we could stay in one of the little duplexs, this place was horrible. It had no locks on the windows, holes in the doors where anyone could reach their hand and unlock it completely, it had roaches, rats, opossums, for the first week I stayed there it had no electricity the whole time I stayed there it had no hot water. I was there for a few weeks and MArc started acting WEIRD, He would come home all doped up crawling on the floor, I would ask him what he was doing and he would say I am picking up dirt, I am a neat freak, there was NO dirt on the floor. He would accuse me of doing meth screaming it's all over the walls, he would come home and pass out on the couch or on the bed, then eventually he just stopped coming home. I moved out as soon as he saw someone breaking into our bedroom window. which I still to this day dont know if its true. Anyways, I moved back with my mom and stayed there for a few weeks before Marc had to take another UA cause he was on probation , he failed it with meth,heroine and marijuana..Tonya Marc's mom had a bright idea of me going to live out with them in what I would later find out was In The Middle Of No Where, TX.
