OK, I admit that most of my posts lately have been a little heavy on the contemplative side. Sometimes I get that way. But my days are not usually spent in solemn contemplation and if I was really that “spiritual” I don’t suppose I’d be so … Anyway, ask my kids just after I’ve blown up at them how “spiritual” they think I am. But the routines of work and home don’t always give me a lot of exciting or stimulating stuff to talk about. It’s just life.
Interesting day at work – soooo slow this afternoon. How to endear yourself to your dentist (not!) – cancel out on a 90 minute appointment 30 minutes before! And no, we did not have snow or any other natural disasters that would justify such a sudden cancellation.
This am had a guy in that had really neglected his teeth – very nervous. He was honest enough with us about that that we were able to plan some sedation. I figure it is no shame to be afraid. But it is sad to be unable to admit it and accept a little sedation to make it bearable and to therefore neglect needed work till it is hopeless. So a little blue pill makes life a lot easier for this guy and his wisdom tooth fairly popped out anyway. He left impressed. Sometimes I love doing extractions – and then again – sometimes I hate them.




I was waiting for a “Matrix” reference. Has the wool been pulled over our eyes? Is there a “real” world of dental hygene that us laypeople don’t know about?

Hate to admit it but I haven’t seen the Matrix – yet. I have to remedy that soon. Nothing like keeping up with the movies!
And the pill is blue. Works wonders for strong men that shake and turn pale when I simply say “have a seat”.
Ah Linea,
You do have a way with men.
