The Gaps Are Closing

In the early 70’s people told you what to do. Somebody told my father what to do for the space between the teeth. Tori and I both had gaps between our teeth. Father took us to the dentist where we were sleepy from the operation which we had at the same time. We had the muscle removed above our two front teeth so that when our adult teeth grew in the gaps would close.

Without that muscle our septum was exposed and became deviated. We were sleepy at the dentist, and our septum’s eventually deviated. So, we were generally sleepy with our depressed conditions. We both got the remedy.

I got a Rhinoplasty in October 1991. It straightened my septum. And now, going forward, Tori got one recently as well. She is working out. Like I experienced years ago she is experiencing her improving condition. That’s two rhinoplasties in the same family.

The story is working out. I think that father was a winemaker and he thought that we were like wine. I’m thankful that Tori got one. She didn’t have to like me. I had a mental illness. All she’s dealing with now is her straightened septum.

Comment: August 24th, 2024; Tori responded to my Blog post. She denies having a nose job.

Kresge Narrative

The amount of money that was paid to off Elwood was $48,000. This amount is the needed information to satisfy Kresge.

Here is the story from 1958.

Grandpa Elwood Polsen, “I have to go to the hospital.”
He was shot by Frances Beeks.
J. Paul Getty Jr. Constructed a contract for the hit: the amount was, “Kresge.”
He is survived by his son Mark Doolin.

If you want to fixate on this narrative, watch the Titanic movie from 1997; see google search results for Titanic.

Kresge Post Made Private

Kresge is outdated by two generations; my mom’s father Elwood. I believe that the University would like to build a new college in its place. There are writings on Gevluef about Kresge. It isn’t enough though. A search for Elwood might have enough about Kresge. I’m going to write about this topic further. I recently donated and they said they need a hundred. Because it is about my family on my mother’s side I feel obligated to take care of it. I wish that my family had more insight about Kresge. I think I’m the only one that thinks stuff about it.

I am trying to keep my Blog posts appropriate. In 1988-1989 I wanted to write a form letter to my family. It would have turned out to be a newsletter. Decades later, now that we have the internet, I can write on a Blog.  I enjoy writing. Maybe you’ve gotten one of my emails. I never would have thought I would be a writer.

Comment: August 28th, 2024; Thank you for everything Kresge. In recent posts I show that the Getty though they ruined my painting might be ready to be forgiven. Anyway to make this change it will take years. Right now, Kresge has a tall order.

Fingernail Biting

Several months ago I stopped biting my nails. I have to keep them short so I don’t bit them. It’s not like quitting Cigarettes where you don’t have anymore cravings. I have to stop myself from relapsing all the time. I have been stopped now for a while and it feels like there is something more happening; forever and a day. I looked on the internet for information about it. Following are some results on Onychophagia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_biting

Onychophagia is the clinical name for fingernail biting. It is a common stress-related or nervous habit in children and adults. It involves biting off the nail plate, and sometimes the soft tissues of the nail bed and the cuticle as well.

Multiple factors play a role in the development of nail biting, ranging from genetic components to underlying psychiatric conditions. Nail biting can be a tough habit to break. People do it for many reasons, like stress and boredom. Sometimes, though, it can be related to a deeper issue like anxiety or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

Onychophagia is classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) under the “Other Specified Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders” subcategory. The DSM-5 further characterizes onychophagia as a recurrent BFRB disorder.

I am pretty sure I am not going to bit my nails anymore. So, now I can talk about it.
