  19. For the past six months I have had to visit my dentist to adjust my my uppers and lowers on a number of occasions. He had made the originals, and over the years they began to hurt my gums. He relined them several times (for a hefty fee, of course!), yet, for some reason they continued to drive me up the wall with pain. My wife and I could no longer go out to dinner parties or even stop at Wendy's for a bite. I would like nothing better than to send those dentures you show to my dentist (who, incidentally is a family friend) for Christmas with an appropriate card saying, "Merry Christmas, pal.

Like most seniors, I have no dental coverage and like many seniors with only Social Security and Medicare, I enrolled at a clinic and my few upper teeth have sort of hung in there. I'm two weeks to the finish line. The week before last one of my few remaining uppers decided to split in half lengthwise. Warm salt water, baby food, and a determination to keep my tongue away from the hanger-on is working so far. Your contest is so timely. I knew I needed to bite the bullet and write. Please take my request seriously. Chew on it for awhile. If you so deem to send me your dentures, I promise I will , in exchange, send you my only eye tooth - assuming it doesn't crumble into pieces and wind up in the cuspidor! A Florida First Coast sister, LH

  35. A vase for flowers.The uppers can be used for a candy dish, and the lowers for scraping snow off your windshield (for those of us who live in the North.) I can also add them to my collection of old false teeth. Anybody want mine? I'll throw them in also.A. H. Irider

  41. Wow, what timing. My last mouse trap doesn't work right anymore, so winning these teeth would save me the expense of buying a new one. I figure I could put a bit of cheese in the middle of the lower plate, and then stick a toothpick between the lower and upper plates to hold the thing up. Hopefully, the mouse would trip going in, take out the toothpick, and be creamed by the uppers crashing down. I would only use the trap at night, because I would be wearing the dentures during the day. They look a lot nicer than mine. Hope they fit fairly well. Thanks again Carolyn. Just one favor please. Would appreciate if you would send them in a plain wrapper. You know how cruel neighbors can be. Don Johnson

  53. There is absolutely nothing better to use to hold a bunch of papers together. No holes from staples, no hard to open clamps, just press firmly using top and bottom teeth, and not only will they stay together, they will be a conversation piece if you leave them around on your desk.

  55. Six years ago I was rushed to the hospital for open heart surgery. Just before being rolled into the operating room one of the nurses asked if I had false teeth. I answered Yes and was requested to remove them. When I was brought out of anesthesia and in my room I asked for my teeth which could not be found. An announcement was made over the PA system inquiring their whereabouts without reply. The time was 6 AM and they called my wife, who hearing it was the hospital, figured the worst. She told them she did not have my teeth. Upon further search an orderly taller than 6 foot high saw a package on the shelf in my room with my teeth in it. Someone put them up there for safe keeping. Do I need a spare set? Sheldon Altenhaus
