Now THAT is a smile to brighten the world around it.

Oh come on!

NO ONE has a smile THAT great. Did you steal this from a dentist site?

Holy Moly!

Thanks, greg :D

David- it's my very own :D

R always teases that "wouldn't be standing here if she didn't have those teeth."

Aw, come on guys! Surely you know Rae has a full set of falsies (teeth, that is).

Hi Rae!

Congrats on a successful dental visit; you should get some teeth modeling jobs:)! I know what you mean about the skin and tongue being attached-I just had the honor of making several dental visits thanks to a cracked tooth. No fun!

Thanks for the visit to my site! In answer to your question-no, it wasn`t the Jacks Fork we fished (although I have fished that river-it`s great!) It was the North Fork White river, just below the Dam for Norfork lake. That whole area is amazingly beautiful; no wonder you miss it!

Wow, Rae - talk about pearly whites! Now fess up - have you had your teeth whitened, or are you blessed with such naturally white chompers?

I've gotta find a new dentist.

Yeah, well, Special K- hon, if mine are false, so are yours! :D Dr. C owes us some serious refunds for all the free advertising we give....I know you don't want your mug on the web, but how about if I scan our picture and then crop just the teeth to prove it to the people?

Tim- thanks. Hmmm, my R knows the waters of MO like the back of his own hand. It isn't familiar to me, but I am sure he knows it.

Alisha- yes I did have them bleached about three years ago. Amazingly through all the Starbuck's and Diet Cokes/Diet Dr. Peppers, they remain pretty darn white. I think having the Oral B. electric helps, though.

P.S. For the gals: the lipcolor is Clinique Glosswear for Lips in Tenderheart. One of my verra favorites. So very natural :D

Rae, thanks for the tip on the gloss - verrrry pretty! I also use the Oral B electric, and I love it! My orthodontist recommended it to me when I got braces (for the second time) about 5 years ago. It not only keeps my teeth cavity free and very clean and smooth, but it apparently makes up for my less-than-regular flossing - the dental hygenist always comments on what a good job I do flossing. (I, unlike Rich, am not always honest!)

I have braces on my bottom teeth right now, Alisha.

The first night we are sitting at dinner and I am trying to eat without being disgusting, but suddenly and loudly proclaim the difficulty of eating politely with braces on. E, throws up her hands in mock praise and says "YES! Thank you, God." You see, she has braces and I have, uhhh, pushed her to be aware of her eating habits.

When I first got my braces on, the first night, R made a surprised comment about my breath being atrocious. He was surprised because he has always claimed that I never have bad breath. He may as well have told me he thought my backside a bit wider. So, I asked my orthodontist about it, and he recommended Listerine. I hate the stuff, and will dispose of it as soon as the metal is out (should be about May), it is effective.

Shhhh, just take whatever compliment comes your way, Alisha. :D

It is true that one of the first things I noticed about Rae was her teeth. It was not until later that I noticed her other qualities. We have a picture of Rae and Special K at our house and those two chicks have the nicest teeth of any two people I have seen together. Just so you know K's are that way by the grace of God. Rae's are that way thanks to orthodontia. She used to have crooked teeth and a huge gap. Trying to keep you humble among the praise my dear.

It's ture- a gap big enough to push a nickel through :D

I am on my second orthodontia repair of my bottom teeth- they got worse than they were the first time I did it.

Anyway, thanks for keeping me humble, love :D
