Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

When Flossing AND Brushing Suddenly Aren't Enough
Posted 02-15-2015 at 03:34 PM by case44
For years, I've occasionally enjoyed the pleasures of Williams Fried Chicken. They don't have many locations in my area, and the closest one is about eight miles from my apartment. I also only go and grab a takeout order about four or five times a year (considering the competition).
But today, I just had to have those weird-shaped chicken breasts and humongous wings with some fries and rolls. Delicious. So, when your writer had finished up his banquet, he had taken a bite from one of the wings and the white-meat delicacy had gotten stuck between two of said writer's lower teeth. That usually isn't hard to fix, as I have dental floss in my bathroom, so, one little strip of floss between the chompers and...............
.............the piece is still stuck!!
I kept flossing and flossing. No luck. So I tried gargling, swishing, and sloshing with Listerine; sometimes, that tends to loosen unwanted particles. Still no luck. Then I decided to get my electric toothbrush with Colgate toothpaste and brush the situation away.
And that didn't help, either.
So now, Ol' Case decided to use a fingernail (I barely had one on my index finger) to loosen and eventually (mercifully??) remove the aforementioned particle. Crazy as all of this sounds, my mouth and teeth are finally free from a stubborn piece of chicken. Guess I don't just like Williams Chicken; it likes me even more!
