4 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday,October 26, 2010 By Cory Soal R.H.A.D. . . . Lend Me Your Ears Tooth Chatter Food bank help Georgetown Rotarians David Carson (left) and Peter Zavitz (right) recently presented a cheque for $2,250 to Georgetown Bread Basket media co-ordinator Maryse Mallet-Sinnis which will be used to fund the Fresh Food Boxes at the food bank. At this time of the year, the food bank is getting low in food supplies and can use all kinds of food, except Kraft Dinner, which they currently have in abundance. You have probably heard recently, there is legislation being passed that will target drivers using cell phones while operating a motor vehicle. We all know that distractions are a dangerous combination and common part of driving on today's congested roadways. Any way to lessen the number of distractions faced daily would greatly help one to focus on the task at hand, and get on with their day. At the Georgetown Hearing Clinic, we do not condone the use of cell phones while driving, but when absolutely necessary, a hands free device, such as a speaker phone, line OnstarTM or a bluetooth connected earpiece can be very useful and help reduce distraction - not to mention allow the driver the use of both hands. At The Georgetown Hearing Clinic, we provide a wide variety of custom fit and non custom fit bluetooth hands free devices. The Georgetown DENTURE MISHAPS! Denture wearers unite! You are not alone! To anyone who at one time or another has had an embarrassing, frustrating, or unfortunate accident or incident with their dentures, I would like to share these light hearted stories. While working in the denture business since 1982, I believe I have heard just about everything there is to hear about "denture mishaps". Although each new story somehow tops the one before! It's hard to believe what some people have gone through to rescue their prosthetic pals, left defencelessly falling prey to pets, small children, toilets, and more. For instance, you've heard of "occupational hazards"? Well believe me, when it comes to being on the job and wearing dentures, it can also be quite hazardous to the old pocket book! Like the construction worker who was 15 stories high on scaffolding. He sneezed, and watched helplessly as his upper denture plummeted to the ground! He found the denture in tiny pieces scattered in the dirt. I hope he at least gave it a descent burial. And speaking of burials, another man, while building his house many years ago, sneezed his denture into the cement while he was pouring the foundation! Talk about giving your house that personal touch! Have you got a humorous "denture mishap" you'd like to share with other readers? If so, write or phone our office, we'd be glad to share your story, anonymously of course! Creating confident smiles since 1982.
