Filling Vs crown. My only regret.

A few years ago I had a root canal, and decided to have a filling instead of a crown because I was in a hurry and I could save some money. The crown would last longer, but hey I can get the tooth refilled, right? Wrong.

After 5 years the filling did give out, but so did one side of the tooth. Because I did not have the post for a crown put it at the time of the original root canal, it cannot be retro fitted. The tooth is now too damaged to fill.

Options, extraction followed by false tooth or bridge or implant. Or just leave it.

I am not sure about putting in an implant. They insert a titanium peg into my jawbone. Then they fit a tooth/crown to this.

And so, if you ever have the choice of filling or crown, get the crown.

Nice try, but this is an open to the public event.

I can well afford, but choose not to pay 368 for a buffet.

Hell! I doubt they even have any cider.
Whoever attends will only be offering cash.

Apparently the food event at the Intercontinental Hotel will be 368RMB, unless you get discount coupons.
I will not be going.
These are stupid rich prices. I am not poor, but not stupid either. I won't be going.

The cultural events are all open to the public.
I can understand why the whiskey night, and cheese and wine events are invitation only. I wouldn't want me in either of those. Trough, gurgle, burp... LOL

That last comment was a bit unfair. There will be local officials who have to be seen there.

Think of this more as a conference, and trade event, with some public exhibits on the side, and less as an exhibition open to the public.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
