I pulled out my own teeth
TONY Blair yesterday faced a woman who pulled out SEVEN of her teeth after failing to find an NHS dentist.

Great-grandmother Valerie Halsworth, 64, removed them with her husband’s pliers.

She pulled out a seventh tooth over the weekend before meeting the PM in Coventry yesterday.

The cleaner, from Scarborough, North Yorks, has a gum disease that causes her teeth to loosen.

1. I know a guy who did that high on Crack once.
He finally went to a doctor because his head was all infected with pus and it was worse than any migraine you can imagine. The doc said he was within an hour or two of a fatal brain hemmorhage.

2. Yikes! What a headline.
At first I thought this was a lounge post. Oh my gosh. Now my teeth hurt. Poor woman.

3. Selective limitations
Mr Blair told her: “I can’t suddenly just produce more dentists. We have to train them. I can’t force them from the private sector into the NHS.”

Ah, but you could pull "evidence" on Iraq's weapons out of your ass when Jr needed it....interesting limitations on those magical powers.

4. I got a kid (child)
who craps turds as big as a republican's brain. Unfortunately they are as tough as a republican's heart. sometimes I have to chop them up to get them down the drain. Any suggestions for either?

5. Actually...I do. I had the same problem with my son
They do this because they forget to go once and then it hurts when they do go. This reinforces the idea of not going. Try this.

Get your kid to go, use a laxative with stool softener and then, when the time comes, a glycerin suppository. After that ordeal, make it a daily chore to get something out of them. If they don't produce, repeat the procedure above. Soon, the pain in the rear of having the procedure will be more of an incentive than anything else in their little minds. It took several weeks and a new ceiling and plumbing to get ours regular. I hope you have better luck.

6. Suggestions for the repubs brain or heart?
they have neither.

As far as your kid, eat more oatmeal. Not the instant crap but real rolled oats, with a little honey and milk.
Been eating every morning for 15 years and I'm as regular as a clock :)

7. I'm waiting for the home root canal kit.

Doing my own root canal would be sooo much fun!

8. Yikes
"The cleaner, from Scarborough, North Yorks, has a gum disease that causes her teeth to loosen."

Remind me not to make out with any more scroungy lads.

I heart my teeth.

Even the impacted ones on the bottom. And the one that came in sideways. And the one that's squeezing all the other teeth on the top right.

Wisdom teeth, can't live with 'em, can't pull 'em out yourself.
