==================================
Hey Glen!
-> 
->  -> cross the Pacific for the cost of an implant, that sort of repair is
->  -> hardly worth doing.  I'll get a much cheaper clipped in denture.  As
->  -> long as I can bite apples and gnaw bones I'll be happy.
->  ->
->  HN> Michael says good dental work can be 
->  HN> gotten in Thailand...or maybe another
->  HN> trip back to the Phillipines might be 
->  HN> in order!
-> 
-> As a consequence of sweet, sticky cakes being popular among Filipinos,
-> there are many dentists in the Philippines, some of them quite good,
-> and I have seriously considered that latter alternative.  I am always
-> welcome there, and I have a house in Manila, well stocked with resident
-> and transient relatives.  As patriach I have first choice of the master
-> bedroom, although now that married children from overseas often arrange
-> to rendezvous with me there, I usually do the Filipino hospitality
-> thing and give them my bed, while I bunk in with the younger ones.
-> 
Sounds like a good arrangement!

-> For now, though, that option is out, as all planes are booked out
-> months ahead.  Also, family involvements have been arranged here.  I
-> had my first dental appointment and impressions taken this morning, and
-> repeat visits will go on until after Christmas.
->
Ah well, one must make do with what one
has....NO BALUT for you!
  
->  ->  -> BTW, where in the South Pacific have you been?  I've spent time 
in a
->  ->  HN> Hawaii, Guam, Johnson Island, Wake, and Kwajalein.
->  -> Hmmm.  Hawaii and Guam are North Pacific.  Not sure about Wake and
->  -> Kwajalein, but I think they are north of the equator.  Don't know
->  -> Johnson Island at all.
->  ->
->  HN> North Pacific to you perhaps, to me
->  HN> that was Plenty South Pacific enough!
-> 
-> At least you got them more or less tropical.
->
Yep, plenty!
 
->  HN> If you want North Pacific, come on up
->  HN> my way or Bill Swisher's...we can show
->  HN> you some NORTH Pacific!
-> 
-> That is the *Far* North Pacific!  Polar bear country. :)
->
Arrrr, that's what WE call NORTH laddie! (grin)
 
->  -> Pain in your mouth and your wallet!  Good luck with your dentist's
->  -> drill bit mining.
->  -> 
->  HN> Just finished my colonoscopy today,
->  HN> now I have my dental visit on monday
->  HN> the 8th....I'm getting it from both ends now!!
-> 
-> Everything done to get you into good condition before Christmas.
-> So far the PSA and other readings in my blood tests have not indicated
-> the necessity for any invasive or X-ray investigations of my body, for
-> which I am grateful.
-> 
Amen!!
 
->  -> My schedule for 2009 has started to fill up, with Darwin daughter and
->  -> her family arriving just after Christmas and staying into the new year.
->  -> A week later I have to visit Perth daughter and her family for a
->  -> fortnight (she bought my tickets yesterday).  My Echo postings will
->  -> probably become a bit erratic then.
->  -> 
->  HN> You should get a cheap laptop with
->  HN> wifi capability and give us reports 
->  HN> from all these exotic locales!
-> 
-> Both those families have Broadband connection, and computers available
-> for Interneting and Emailing, but they are too modern to run Bananacom,
-> which I use to dial up my local BBS.  I don't like posting stuff to the
-> Echo or writing Emails on-line, as sometimes I make mistakes or want to
-> go away for a while to check references or eat or something.
-> 
Ah well, I prefer to do it online now.
Fidotel is very reliable and patient!

->  HN> OOooooo PERTH!!!!!
-> 
-> A lovely city.  As it will be school Christmas holidays, I anticipate
-> taking my 9 yo grandson around to the sort of places that his working
-> parents haven't had a chance to take him to, like the suburb of South
-> Perth, a 20 minute ferry ride.  There are other destinations that the
-> ferries go to, including the port of Fremantle and Rottnest Island,
-> where he could meet the friendly Quokkas.
-> 
-> 
Gonna have to look that one up!!
chat with you soon!
