THE GRILLE IS GONE!

MY GRILLE! ITS GONE! while eating a great breakfast this morning a tooth broke on my flipper, the middle tooth, so now I'm missing a tooth in the front! UGH! what am I gonna do? I judge people on the way they've taken care of there teeth now people are gonna judge me. they say your smile says it all, I believe that, except now my smile is telling on me, are people gonna think of me the way that I think of people with bad teeth? its the way I look and think of fat people, you're sorry, lazy, low class, and you don't think much of yourself. when I was in the service a Sergeant once told me "a man that won't shine his shoes won't wipe his ass" that's about the way I feel about people with bad teeth. now I'm one of em. I have a replacement but its big and cumbersome and I don't wanna wear it. I just didn't take care of my teeth when I was young brushing my teeth was not a high priority and I ate loads of butter nuts and when I grew into adulthood I began to smoke and drink and use drugs and the effect on my teeth was horrible. when I finally woke up and realized how important a nice smile is it was almost to late. I had advanced gum disease. but at least I didn't have any missing teeth at least not in front. I do now, its only one but its in the front of my mouth and when I talk or smile it shows. what am I gonna do? I don't have any money I don't even have the 2 dollars I need to send for my high school transcript so that I can start school April 6Th. that's a shame! 55 years old with no money! I have 30 pennies that I've found on the grounds of Atlanta. what I'm gonna do though is go across the street to this CHURCH and ask REV BLACK if he will mail it off for me " you don't have to give me the money rev. black you can mail it off yourself I just need the transcript" I'll never say anything bad about the church again not because of this but since I have been homeless I have a new respect for the church, more on this later, but I would have spent a lot of hungry days if not for the church, including the food in my stomach and backpack right now!
