Potentially too much information - about teeth and being my "age"

You can blame this on the fact that last October my dentist told me my wisdom teeth had started to come through.

Oooh, now you're stretching the friendship, expecting me to remember when my wisdom teeth came through *grin*. I suspect it was during my teens. I know I did have a baby tooth that hadn't grown at all and that plus the adult tooth beneath it had to be removed during my late teens, and then years later the tooth next to the gap had to come out too because it had fallen into the gap. That was on the top. On the bottom I had one canine tooth growing totally out of alignment (in front of two other teeth) that had to come out plus I've had others taken out on the bottom, but that was well after my wisdom teeth were through.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting to go out partying every weekend - I didn't when I was your age - besides, who says you "have" to go out partying because you are at the "partying" age?? You do what you want to do.

My eldest sister gave me a great birthday card for my 50th that said it's not about age, it's about attitude - knowing you are the best you can be (and other wise stuff which I can't recall and the card is buried in my treasures box).

wow. Your teeth certainly don't sound like they wanted to behave in a straight -forward manner (no pun intended).

I do do what I want. Which is sit at home and use the internet, and read books. ^__^ I'm perfectly content with that.

Sounds like a lovely card to have received... I can imagine it being significantly treasurable. Was it all hand written or did she find a shop one that actually had a reasonable message in it?
PS My father's 50th... which was 12 years ago... had him receiving an over 50 first aid kit.

The card was shop bought - my eldest sister is the least creative of all my siblings, apart from popping out five kids over the years!

The best present I got for my 50th was my 1.5 metre tall carved wooden Balinese dragon who sits proudly in my dining room overseeing the cat when she sprawls on the table.

How the hell did someone manage to find one of those, get it through customs, and wrap it up?!? It does sound pretty though.

I'm glad to hear there are decent cards out there. I rarely find any that I like at all... which is probably why I try to make mine...

LOL!

The dragon was bought at a shop in Tuggeranong, ACT, not long before we moved up here to Cairns, so all we did was leave it in its crate, shove acres of bubblewrap around it then wrap it in plastic and tell the removalists to be VERY careful with it!

It got up here in one piece and I was then "officially" presented with it.
