In dentistry, hypodontia is the condition of naturally having fewer than the regular number of teeth. Hypodontia describes a situation when there is a missing number of 6 teeth or fewer. .
In caucasians, the most commonly missing teeth are the wisdom teeth (25-35%), the upper lateral incisors (2%) or the lower second premolars (3%).
Both my idential twin and I are missing the upper lateral incisors

find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
-joseph campbell.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. - Frank Outlaw
There is not just a place to find joy inside but all manor of human emotion.. it's just a matter of
directing thoughts !
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds !

ok - so after a few threads in the last few days i started listening to some of my old music.
some artists just have voices that are hauntingly beautiful and stick with you forever.
for me - the top three are.
Please indulge me because I wish to put in a commentary about an earlier mentioned song PRIDE (((((( in the name of love ))))))
I find this very interesting and profound ! ( I know I'm off topic )
Bono is speaking about those throughout history who have died because they preached of the equality of all men and practiced non-violence as the only way to achieve their goal of having this equality universally recognized.
MLK is the primary example of non-violent resistance as the only way to bring about changes in civil rights. But there are allusions to others; Christ for example.
The song is about singular "people" (including Christ as man) that lived their life with pride. Not in a boastful way, but with the pride a personhas when their thoughts and actions are motivated by their understanding and full awareness of the dignity and sanctity of ALL human life.
The song is a tribute or illustration or reminder to us, of martyrs to this ideal. It speaks to how they lived their life with an inner Pride in all of humanity and that this Pride is really an expression of God's love for all of humanity. These people did what they did because they were trying to spread this message of God's love for all of mankind.
This began as a song about US president Ronald Reagan. Bono had lyrics written condemning Reagan for an arrogant pride that led to nuclear escalation.
King was killed on a Memphis motel balcony on April 4, 1968. Bono sings "early morning, April 4," but King was actually killed in the evening. Bono has acknowledged the mistake and sometimes sings it as "early evening, April 4."

many of us have had our ups and downs in relationships.
that being said, from what i've noticed people tend to put more effort and emphasis in picking a career or employment and being choosy about that - than putting the time into meeting and getting to know what kind of person they would like to have a relationship with.
so many people leave it up to random selection - not much thought - then they wonder down the road why they are getting burned !
Ice-guy,
Aren't you setting your standards too unrealistically high ? ....

on another thread i asked: .
"f i do not renounce my atheism, repent and start believing in and worshipping the christian god, what will happen to me?".
i do not want your judgement or your opinion i want to know what your church/faith teaches on the subject or the fate of unbelievers.. no platitudes, please.
Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

Trust God to be a righteous judge not for us to judge Him... Caliber
A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

I
also learned that you can call yourself "Christian" w/o being a member of an organized religion, or in some cases, be a member of such, but pick and chose which teachings to believe. Changeling
I simply must go with the way I see it in scriptures... what I pick and choose is of little value , my faith tells
me everything rests in God's hand. that's why I don't like the what's going to happen to me question.
Faith, hope and love in God are my stronghold not details or calender of events.Choose to speak to me about faith only !

To be very honest I am unsure, all is in God and his plan for me and anyone else.But I have
faith and trust of some future for those who serve him with a humble and true heart motive
