give me the gas



My long-time dentist is retiring next month! I actually like the guy, so I'm a little sad about that... although I will feel no sadness this afternoon, when he gets to do nasty stuff to me for the last time. I need a crown and some other work that I'd rather not know the details of. "I'll kind of miss you," I told him the other day, "but I'm not going to miss your sadistic tendencies!"

So he will hook me up to the nitrous oxide, and I'll only feel mental pain (I hope)...

... until he is done and I get his bill -- the biggest horror of all. It will help him sail off into a blissful retirement.

Weird, I went to the dentist today too, and so did a co-worker of mine! What's up with today? I just go for cleanings though; I'm not into cavities and root canals and all that stuff. :-)

Jon, you're so lucky to have such good teeth. Have you ever had even one calorie you whole life?

Jon said...

Yes, I have way too many calories all the time. :-) But as for cavities, I have had one... way in the back where a wisdom tooth was wedged up against another tooth so it was impossible to brush in there. Dumb wisdom teeth.

Totally understandable.
