Recently, at the recommendation of our dentist, it became necessary to take the daughter to the orthodontist. This did not surprise me, since the child is virtually my clone and I had to have extensive orthodontia work done. What did surprise me is how orthodontia has come along in the last twenty years.

So, Jason and I elected to throw up some Google Ads on this site because we’re greedy AND delusional. We’re hoping that you’ll love reading our humorous tales so much that you’ll tell your friends about Wiffli and they’ll tell their friends, and pretty soon, we’ll be making bucketloads of money off of a [...]
