false teeth, lateral thinking and tarot

I was in a chemist shop today looking to find something to help my partner not snore at night. I have had a few nights in the spare room it has been that bad and was at my wits end. (Have you noticed how the person who snores always falls asleep first??!!)

Anyway, I was having a good mooch round and came across a tiny plastic hinged lid box. Perfect size for my mini deck I take travelling, but one which the box has taken a bit of a battering in the rucksack. Having said that it has been round the world and seen 9 countries and is hanging on in there.

I was so pleased with myself, and then looked at the price label etc underneath to find it is a dentures box No wonder the pharmacist gave me a strange look when he cashed it up. Ironically (and this is the gospel truth) my next stop was the dentist for a check up With relief I had just the brush and clean and no treatment, but how ironic and what timing.

Recommended box though folks

Agreed. I'd even call it, "thinking outside the box".

:ducks flying tomatoes :

there is good news too..

the stuff I bought for my boyfriend to stop the snoring has helped no end! A liquid he has to spray onto his throat which he hates the taste of but it does stop the bedroom reverberating throughout the night

I'm glad to hear that the anti-snoring measures worked!

If the problem recurs, my suggestion is for him to see his doctor for a sleep apnea test. That's what my husband had, and when less-invasive solutions failed, he had surgery to correct the problem. That was very helpful.

FWIW, once he was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I looked it up online. It can cause such serious, even life-threatening medical problems, I insisted he have it treated. At that point the snoring, deafening as it was, became the LEAST important of the reasons that I wanted him to get treatment.

Keep an eye on your partner, and if you recognize sleep apnea symptoms, insist on having a doctor check them over. And don't take "no" for an answer.
