There's a lot more control over the duds in a place like germany.

I was going to ask the same thing. I wouldn't mind ditching this
stupid partial for an impant :)
I have both a bridge and implants and I tell you the implants are so much
better. If you amortized the cost over the next 20 years, it doesn't look so
bad.

"If you amortized the cost over the next 20 years"
Sounds good, that 20 years I mean, Frank.
Some of us are amortizing over a much shorter period.

No such animal.
You dont say what you would like to watch, but most of what
appears on cable TV can be downloaded using torrents etc.
Not the more obscure stuff tho.

Eddy here needs to learn a little more about the Internet, and
realty. Pyotr is one of several cognates for my birth name, and I've
used most of them as I traveled or studied foreign languages. (I
can't spell in four languages and two alphabets.)

And you may go back. My Ancestors were not immigrants but
colonists, founding cities in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. So head
on back to the old sod, Eddy the late comer.

A retail DVD is circa 4.5GB.

Hello, Woddleypoo. I have a usenet k0oK award marked out with your name on
it. The name of the award has the word "COWARD" in it.
Are you going to come out and play with the nasty Kadaitcha Man? Or are you
going to run away and hide like you always do when I decide to give you a
taste of your own medicine? Hmmm?

No, it's really not a problem for most of us. See, we don't really
spend any money to speak of. One guy even feeds his family on 50¢ a
meal and barters 7-8 pepper seeds through the mail. One adds tap water
to his toothpaste tube, but he may have gotten sick and left the
group. Another has recently returned to posting very long posts that
keep us reading and thus out of the stores. And the Chinese still seem
to value our dollar highly in this group. So life is good in the
parallel universe we call mcfl.

At first I thought you were talking about me, but since I steal my
pepper seed guess not.
I do give my kids 50 cents each to *not* eat dinner.
Then I charge them 50 cents for breakfast.
Works out well. Saves a meal a day and teaches them to save for the
next day.
