4:00 PM Today again like yesterday, made a large cup of tea and then i went to check under the door. There was nothing. The smell was coming from the dumpster next to mailboxes. Again i tested the tea and was bitter like the dentures in the first day after making. Like wormwood.

They put some pieces of wood right after they emptied the duster, blocking the lids and people have put the sacks on the ground next to it. I went and when i open the lids, i almost fainted. The smell was like in a Ceaușescu era public restroom, only for dogs (or cats).

I found one big black bag, open, with one tiny piece in it. I think it was the piece i pick from under the door and threw the other day next to hydrant. Probably coming from the cat i just saw heading for the hole under the balcony of the one level one apartment building, the one with the green balloon.

Then i slept until 3 PM which is a lot. Angela came and i asked her to taste that teeth. She confirms it was bitter. Was made with a Stash mint little bag.

It was smelling again. I grabbed my grabber (the dumpster is empty, impossible to reach at the bottom). By the time i got there a small SUV stopped at the mail boxes and a Latino looking guy went to check his mail. However i ignored him and grabbed the bag from the bottom of the dumpster.

The same big black bags that showed this spring only, bigger then the others i found so far over the years. There was also a knotted green one. It was smelling but not as bad as the tiny one this morning. Maybe because the lids were taken out of the dumpsters, as they do the day after emptying.

For some reason the poop in an open bag smells much worse than if it wasn't in a bag at all, much worse than a whole dumpster full of garbage.

4:22 Ok i caught the cat with white paws going under that balcony. (Yeah i know they tore apart the blinds and threw them on the lawn a few weeks ago. The balloon is there since last summer). I go and pick garbage items all the time from around that place. I think the cat likes to poop under our deck because the wood dust is dry there and easier do dig.

Dejavu, i think i posted about that hole and a cat before but can't find where.

When the weather is nicer at least one girl comes from that apartment, seats on the tv box (left of this picture) and hits it with her heels when we cook of forget to put the blinds one when we are eating.

5:10 Her weekend boyfriend came as i was heating something to eat (beans and pork i made the other day), crushing some garlic for the sauce with a wooden pestle.

First he parked his gigantic truck on her spot next to ours, then he went and moved it somewhere else (to me that would be impossible in a Friday, afternoon, there are no visitors spots). Ever since he checks the floor upstairs for stability. He's smart (intelligent). Every time i try to record, he stops.

It still rings in my ears, his moan and her single giggle in the bedroom last week.

He's home alone, these days she comes home after 9.

I made some tea out of the same bags and it came bitter but no so bitter by far compared to the one in the morning.

5:13 It was beginner's luck when i made my first dentures, that i still wear. After that, i got relaxed, made numerous mistakes trying to make some better ones, but i learned (numerous tricks). Got to wear gloves when i make them cause some chemical is leaking in my skin.

Drinking was a (major) factors. One should not drink and denture period.
 

 5:55 Went and tried to smoke my first cigarette of the day. I managed to do some more pictures before that. Next to our apartments they were digging a hole. The progress of the park (when i took that picture the kids came outside and started to yell. They also dug around a building in our complex closest to the park (second picture, left).

Next to the balcony in that picture with the cat hole 4 kids came and started a pajama party. On the other side of the loan a couple of Mexicans, with a dog, watching (me and the kids next to me). 

Just filled the negative slopes of yet another model for the lower dentures. I noticed her car is here and they both concentrated in the bedroom where Angela is trying to sleep.

6:45 From first trials i came to the conclusion that if i coat the gypsum model with second skin (which is basically cellulose liqueur, similar to nail polish), the putty sticks better, the denture is smoother on the inside and the final extraction is easier.

However, it stinks and will stink for hours.

BTW after i open again the blinds they moved to squeak in the kitchen area.

6:50 I went in the kitchen area to pour me a soda (can't drink, working on dentures). 5 kids moved in the lawn, one of them (tallest, oldest with black and green hair making me wonder) was slowly licking a lolipot so i put the blinds again. So yes, i am caught between the guys upstairs and those in the lawn.

7:05 Can't start the most critical part that of molding gums and attaching teeth cause he/she is marching  upstairs while kids are chatting in the back (usually the won't do it in the same time to spare AI resources cause i misplaced the recorder that deters some of the noises. If i start without that one they will drive me nuts white trying to concentrate at doing that.

Angela could help me but she is sleeping (she is back on 10 hours a day 60 hours a week with 20 hours overtime that pay like another 30  on top of normal 40).

11:59 Closing day statement.

Our teeth is one of the greatest real assets our mother (nature) gives us. Upon birth (and then renewal around 8) we are granted a full set of teeth (32+32 teeth (ideally) that should help us through the rest of our days (to chew our food).

However. They do not come with a user's manual which partly makes sense. We cannot generally read until of before the age of teeth renewal.

...

Not all teeth are created equal. Not all people benefit from an ideal right nutrition and hygienic habits needed to keep their teeth for the rest of their lives.

Though i had dental insurance since my first years in the US (and saw numerous dentists before i came here using the free medical combined with bribe in Romania) my teeth were lost, one by one.

Root cannel "therapies" and veneers done by a luring smart (for himself) dentist did not work.

Sometime after year 2000 i got to know and see a dentist who did my first partials (dentures). Dr. Timothy Tanada. Japanese by birth. Christian by mane. First and best. When i went in 2004 in Romania i was wearing those dentures. (Like he knew).

However after i lost more teeth and those did not fit anymore, i went to other doctors or denturists which did not stand to the same quality. After numerous visits for adjustments, i started to adjust those myself. That was when i became familiar with the shape and functionality of dentures.

Finally lost all my teeth (extracted the last ones by choice) and got in trouble. Every time i was "chewing" i was still getting a headache. I told that to my dentist, several times, he did not say anything.

Then i remembered i once saw a video with a guy in India doing dentures on a side of the road. Can't remember of the details but i thing he was following all the known procedures which started with imprints. I saw young people in that video waiting next to him for their dentures to be done.

Then more recently after searching i saw a video with a guy in the US teaching us how to make dentures using "light curing materials". He did not mention in the video what materials he was talking about (i believe for liability reasons) and i assumed he used the so called "base" materials used to make custom impression trays.

Basically, made of uncured acrylic resins (monomers) combined with some fillers. Acrylic resins which are basically made of acrylic acid and/or derivatives and/or fillers do indeed cure (polymerize) with UV light. The man was advocating using sunlight which indeed has that kinda UV in the mix.

Then i ordered all the materials on  Amazon. With one hundred bucks i could theoretically make i don't know, more than 10 pairs. So o ordered those and after numerous mistakes, today, ten days after i started and about 20 hours of work (and learning) i got 2 functional sets of dentures and materials for many more left.

Of a much better quality tjen those from the acclaimed Shikosha lab in Portland where my last ones were made.

The main problem is the curing process. I had a toy UV "black light" in the 400 nm range that seem to work, though not penetrating more than i don't know, one mm into the the materials. The result is they are fragile until fully cured, either by environmental UV (our Sun) or by the lamp from the other side (after the model is removed) and then leaking acrylic, acrylate, methacrylate and/or other monomers in your mouth for the next few days.

At this moment i believe partials could also be done.

I posted all these with the belief a handy person who lost their teeth can get free from (depending on) insurances and expensive poor quality dentures (up top 1000 dollars a pair) made by specialized labs and clinics. The need for numerous appointments, since imprint, wax model and adjustment.

Ironically, like always they are now plaing Miley Cy_Rus "I can love me better" on Z100.
