The surgery made her look more like her mother than her father.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The chin is the most obvious part, to me.
That's funny. I just think she looks older. But I guess so!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I ask this honestly, as someone with no personal experience of dementia. Is it wrong to lie to people if it makes them feel better?
From the friends that have delt with parents that have had it --- the answer is a qualified yes. It depends on the stage of dementia. what will they remember -- words, ideas, mood of a conversation , etc. for example. My friends put a kill switch on dad's car. he go try and start it, he couldn' they'd tell him it was broken but the mechanic was coming later. he'd be satisfied and forget about it. they did a similar thing with his wine. He'd forget that he had wine -- so he'd keep drinkin g-- so they got him some nonacholic wine as well as his regular -- and switch it on him when he'd had a couple of glasses.

I can definitely see the gum work; I guess the nose... refinement sounds right. The chin I can't tell. In any case, girlfriend is looking good.

To me, the chin seems to just be loss of face babyfat. God knows mine is pointier than it was in my high school pictures, and I haven't gone under the knife. I'm fatter too, but still the chin is still sharper.
The nose is different, though.
Not that I care.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The chin is more obvious in the second set of pics I ETA'd. For gummy smiles, my understanding is simply cutting the gums and shaving down the teeth.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The exact same wind-farm footage was in both Obama's and McCain's attack ads all through the Olympics, and now (on behalf of the actual wind-farming people) it's on my PBS.

Also, I have pictures of me that with the angle and tilt of head, I can barely recognize as me. So a lot of those before and afters are suspect to me unless the angle and profile are the same.
eta: she's smiling differently, sure, but to me the chin change is just rearranging fat.
