5 Tooth Chatter Independent & Free Press, Tuesday, November 9, 2010 By Cory Soal DENTURE MISHAPS! "Denture Mishaps" just wouldn't be complete without the ever popular "pet problems"! One man must surely regret eating that tuna fish sandwich, before taking a nap and removing his denture and laying it on the nightstand. He awoke to find his tabby cat batting his dentures from baseboard to baseboard, playfully pouncing on the "fishy" smelling denture. Two replacement teeth and extensive cat hair removal later, and the denture was again fit for chewing. (Not tuna fish of course!) It could have been worse; it could have been buried in the kitty litter! While some pets prefer playing with dentures, some do favour the more possessive burying. Like the black lab who buried his masters lower dentures in the backyard. They were eventually recovered six weeks later, fully intact with not a scratch on them, however covered with dirt! The man had already purchased a new denture, as he had searched high and low without success. Oh well, at least he can keep it as a spare! Some guys have all the luck, unlike another fellow who's dog wasn't so gentle. This pooch must have been drooling over one too many dog chow commercials when he spied his masters dentures perched irresistibly on the arm of an easy chair. Five chomps later, all that was left were a few fractured teeth and some pink plastic bits covered in doggy drool. I'm certain old Rover spent a few nights in the dog house for that one! Man's best friend!? Creating confident smiles since 1982. . . . Lend Me Your Ears R.H.A.D. HOW DOES LOUD NOISE CREATE HYPERTENSION? It appears to affect the nervous system, signalling the peripheral blood vessels to constrict as though under attack/ This triggers a surge of adrenaline and other fight-orflight chemicals into the bloodstream - a response that carries with it the potential for glandular or cardiovascular changes, in other words, unwanted noise creates the same final results as increased stress (try to avoid)! The Georgetown Community gives 43,000 pounds of food The auditorium at the Alliance Church was a blur of activity as dozens of volunteers sorted, packed and stacked approximately 43,000 pounds of food and $1,350 for the Georgetown Bread Basket during Saturday's annual Scouts/Guides Food Drive. Helping out were clockwise (from top) 12-year-old Olivia Kayess from Georgetown 5th Pathfinders; 12-year-old Alexandra Reinhardt from 1st Georgetown Scouts; Terri Mosher, food bank board chair; Lynn Clark, 5th Pathfinders/Rangers co-ordinator; Brian Wood, Georgetown food bank director and 16-year-old David Borgal, Georgetown Ventures (Medic). "Thanks to the Guides and Scouts and volunteers for all their hard work. Thanks also to the community for their generous donations," said Georgetown Bread Basket volunteer co-ordinator Marian Viant. Anyone whose donation was missed is asked to bring it to the food bank donation box in their local grocery store or drop it off at the food bank, 55 Sinclair Ave., Wednesdays and Saturdays between 8:30 a.m. and noon.
