I've got some good news and some bad news.

I was at my dentist getting a crown on a bad tooth... the bad

I asked regarding what they did with all the little lead sheets from their Xrays.... Good News is I walked out with four 30 lb boxes of lead....That's 120 lbs in my book.

It won't pay for a crown but sure brings some joy. Nice going.

Enjoy it while you can! My dentist recently went to a digital technology that does not use the lead sheets. I picked up the last of his sheets on my last visit.
The good news is that not all dentists are going to this new technology, because the equipment investment is very costly. I got to talking with a former dentist of mine, that I used when I lived up in Colville, Wa. and he said it's too costly for him, and he's still saving the sheets for me. I just gotta drive 60 miles to get it!

vacek,

Consider them to be pure lead.

We are alchemists... We take pure lead and turn it into pure fun.:twisted:
