When to tell Long Distant SO about denture

Is this research for a book, perhaps?

Callistemon - Actually Callistemon, a couple of people told me that I should go to Mexico, they do implants there cheap. However, the thoughts of going to Mexico to do surgery drum up thoughts of a back ally dentist
MawBroonsback - My apologies in advance, I just thought people who are a few years older than me may have gone thru the same issue at one time in their lives. I mean no disrespect. Thought it couldn't hurt, however maybe I should have left it at significant other, b/c a lot of folks are more concerned w/ my bank account and losing $$ or getting bamboozeled....which is great advice, however I am more concerned as to the "reveal" that I have a denture. Again to all board members, my apologies if I have offended anyone by coming to " UK grandparents’ website to ask advice about when or how to reveal he has dentures to his Peruvian girlfriend"...to be blunt, grandparents or people older than me, I feel, have a greater depth of knowledge and experience than I do, and maybe willing to lend some of that guidance or experience out for others to follow or learn from...again, I mean no disrespect and i thank you in advance...

Oh dear don’t grovel What2do that’s even worse
Quit whilst you’re ahead
Do you normally warn people that you don’t have all your teeth ? I wear contacts but I ve never felt the need to advise any new partners that piece of news I guess it’s a bit different as they’re not going to stick their tongue in my eye but .....
Look i ll be honest I m still not sure about this thread the reason behind it or even the validity of the story but do come back and tell us how it all goes if and when she comes to visit

Why wouldn't she be allowed in ? Even the USA allows tourists!

Let me get this right. A 60-something ex USAF cyber security professional has written to a UK grandparents’ website to ask advice about when or how to reveal he has dentures

Yep. exactly, even I can understand something that simple.

As far as I am aware (but no doubt I'll be jumped on if I'm wrong) Gransnet doesn't bar ex-military, Americans, people in IT (even, shock horror - whizz kids in cyber security!) Irish Catholics; people in their 60's; those who adore their Peruvian girlfriends...even people with dentures.

I can think of a few categories I wish the would ban.

Most ex-military say 'padre' - my Dad used to, as does my son. Is that a crime now?

Cyber-security doesn't necessary mean 'a computer whizz kid'
Both my sons are in this field, the elder is 50!

But please be aware that they can see into your computer and other devices and know what you're doing and saying every minute of the day

I've had more fun laughing at the grumpy old posters on this thread than from simply reading the OP ....which I took at face value.

And if I'm proved wrong - so what? It won't mean a gnat's orchid to me.

And you are welcome here What2do - don't be put off. We have lots of people from all over the world on here!

BradfordLass72, I disagree and I'm with BlueBelle on this. What the OP says just doesn't ring true. There was a fantasist on another forum (recently closed) who made up wild stories with similar grammatical errors. He may have moved here.

Your statement:

'But please be aware that they can see into your computer and other devices and know what you're doing and saying every minute of the day'

is utterly ridiculous and totally untrue. Why on Earth would you believe such nonsense?

I'm disillusioned though
I thought that all Americans had perfect, even, sparkling white teeth!

Actually, I'm quite relieved in a way.

Give the guy the benefit of the doubt for God's sake or scroll on by, just because you think his questions are odd doesn't make it so. The Gransnet Censor Police at its best, unfortunately

'Benefit of the doubt'? Nope, no can do - too bizarre! I'll stick around for the amusement value though!

Wow, I've been on some boards but this one takes the cake. To all those who have offered guidance and advice...thank you...to all the others...Hetty58, callistemon, BlueBelle...you discourage people from coming to boards like this for advice. I'm done, don't worry won't be back to bother or "grovel" anymore. Have a little more compassion for those who are just simply seeking advice.

Well, I am wounded. Far be it from me to discourage anyone coming on here in genuine need of help!

I gave good advice imo - have an implant, expensive and takes several appointment but absolutely worth it!!
If there is no time, for goodness' sake don't leave your denture in a glass by the bed, or in the bathroom for that matter (very offputting).

For all you know, she may be having exactly the same worries.

what2do
I met my ex partner on a site similar to this (only fractionally more friendly) and we were smitten straight away.

He arranged to come down for a visit, and a few days before decided to tell me his teeth were awful.
Me: "how awful are we talking?"
Him: "Well, you know the singer out of 'The Pogues?"
Cue a terrible silence...
Him: "Are you bothered?"
Me: "Well, its not exactly top on the list I look for in a partner..."

Anyway, we met, he did have awful teeth, but I made him go and have them all out it didn't matter.

Some very judgmental replies on this thread. There are several posters on this forum who seem to have a sense of entitlement and deem what is a genuine post and what is not. Who cares if someone is posting a question or statement simply to wind up others then they obviously have a need to be seen and quite possibly are crying out for help.

Good luck with the visit what2do, I hope it is everything you hope it is. I wouldn't worry too much abut the dentures IMO it is not really any different to wearing glasses/contact lenses and I doubt would be a deal breaker.

Quoting my post and yours:
But please be aware that they can see into your computer and other devices and know what you're doing and saying every minute of the day

is utterly ridiculous and totally untrue. Why on Earth would you believe such nonsense?

HAHAHAHAAAAAA I'm afraid I almost fell off my chair laughing at that!!! Hetty you are priceless.

Too many coincidences don't you all think, with all the ex-military cyber-security connections? One person tries, yet fails to be two (hint - how about changing your writing style?) so they can both 'agree'. I think I'll have the last laugh - all very amusing!

But please be aware that they can see into your computer and other devices and know what you're doing and saying every minute of the day

Was this a serious opinion BradfordLass or a quote from elsewhere?
Funniest thing I have read since my granny used to think TV newsreaders could see her if she was watching TV in her dressing gown
