Dear Carol, I do not have any teeth as they took them all out after a student broke a needle in my gum and broke my jaw in his efforts to cover his mistakes up. As I had smashed a lot playing Rugby and motorcycle racing, they took them all out in April this year! They were trying to get moulds today for new ones, but the students were a bit rough to say the last, so had to get a Doctor to it. It hurt as they hold your jaw open to do it.
We are always busy at the Legion coming up to Christmas as we have Remembrance day in November which stirs memories and the biggest killer is loneliness, for some of these veterans have nobody.
That is why my wife and I always have a Christmas party for anyone who wishes to come, and we cook and pay for it. They all seem to enjoy it, and the chance to talk to people is good for them.
Caseworkers do not get paid as it is voluntary, and takes a lot of time and paperwork. It can be dangerous with disturbed people, but someone must help them.
So I would rather help a young mother who has lost her husband in Afghanistan six months ago and has nothing, than worry about acorns.
Kindest Regards.
Neil.
