I've got aluminum teeth!

I don't know how this happened, but I was in the vegetable section today, with my wife, and we were looking for Ambrosia Apples.

I found them first and gave her a shout, "I got 'em here!"

I was loud enough to be rude to the twenty-something couple who were standing in front of me, filling their bag with Ambrosias too!

I should have said I was sorry, but instead, I asked, "Have you tried these? They're the bomb!"

And the woman exclaimed, "They're very good!"

I continued, "I cut off the tops, scoop out the insides, and stuff them with granola and honey, then I bake them."

The woman asked, "But you eat them raw too, don't you?

My wife had joined us by then and she piped in, "O - Def - every morning!"

I faced the woman and said, "Not me, I don't eat raw apples"

And she said, "Why not?"

I reached up, flicked my thumbnail to my teeth with a click and said, "I've got aluminum teeth! I don't eat hard apples anymore."

And then, this twenty something woman, looks at me, smiles, and says, "It happens."

And I swear she was missing her four or so front teeth. I can't be sure, but I didn't see any enamel at all, top or bottom.

Her husband, too, seemed mildly amused but quick to get away.

My wife didn't notice the teeth. I think it was just a major coincidence.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

I accidentally started a fake relationship with my dentist’s nephew and now I have to bring him to my cousin’s wedding

I swear this isn’t as insane as it sounds. Or maybe it is. I don’t know anymore. So I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled last month. All four. It was horrible. I cried when they put the numbing stuff in. Not from pain, just vibes. The dentist was this sweet older guy, probably in his 60s, super gentle, gave dad energy. Anyway, after the whole thing I’m in the waiting room with a mouth full of gauze, looking like a bloated chipmunk and trying not to drool on myself. This guy walks in. Maybe 20-ish. Tall, curly hair, kind of goofy looking but in a hot way. He smiles at me and goes, “You look like you fought a squirrel and lost.” I flip him off. With love. Apparently he’s the dentist’s nephew. He was dropping off lunch or something, I wasn’t listening. I was trying to keep my face from leaking. He sits down and starts chatting with me while I wait for my ride. I don’t say much because again, gauze goblin. But I must’ve made an impression because later that night I get a message on Instagr...

A Cinematic Masterpiece: 'Halkara' Deserves More Recognition

So, the weekend is almost over and Sunday is always special to me. In a sense, I was always wandering, taking myself on a trip to the valley. This story is quite different and interesting. In the middle of my journey, I felt ready and motivated to write about it, so here it goes. This story is about a single movie that inspired me to write. I had no plans to watch a Nepali movie called 'Halkara,' which had recently been released. As I passed by midtown, I wasn't prepared to watch it, but I found myself at the ticket counter buying a ticket for myself. When I bought the ticket, there were only five people who had booked the show, and all the seats were empty. The show was scheduled to start at 12:30 pm, and I entered the hall. Finally, the movie started. I cannot describe how amazing the cinematography, storyline, characters, acting, and overall vibe of this movie were. I still can't believe that this movie didn't receive a good response from...
