'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
all decked out in green shirt and green necklace and with a big shamrock balloon tied to her wheelchair that said I'M 8 TODAY!
That's absolutely adorable.
I got my hair cut Saturday. Of course, I have a standing appt. every 5 weeks for a trim/color. My hair grows too fast to go any longer between cuts.
Susan, is there a medical school in Seattle?
Heh. UW would be appalled to know that you're asking that. They think they're the bestest most famousest medical school EVAH.
And yeah, there's the UW Dental School with its associated clinics. I could try them. I'd somehow never associated "dental school" with "likely to be kind to severely phobic patients with slightly defective jaws," but I guess it's worth a try. At the very least, most dentists in this city are probably UW alums, so they might have an idea of where I should go.
Susan, I think the Seattleistas are all dentist avoidant.
Yes, we are.
I think it's been five years since I've seen a dentist.
I'm pretty sure it's been over fifteen years since I've been to a dentist, and the only thing that's kept me from painful toothaches and other dire maxillo-facial problems is regular brushing.
I didn't go to the dentist for about 12 years due to lack of dental insurance. When I finally went, the damage was minor.
So the moral is: Don't go to the dentist.
I really did mean to make an appointment a few months ago! It just, err... slipped my mind during the few weeks I had when I was off bedrest and still in the dental zone. (I'd been told that dentists won't work on you third trimester, so I didn't bother when I hit that point.)
I mean, at first I was waiting because my dentist had a family crisis and had to go out of town (I should explain that my parents know him socially), and then it was Christmas, and then...
You may now be getting the picture as to why I haven't been to see the dentist in a few years.
among its many clinics is one specifically serving patients with dentist phobias
My best friend has one of those. The last time she went to the dentist (after having not gone for 5 or so years) they had to break her cleaning into two separate appointments. She's never gone back for the 2nd 1/2 of her cleaning. After 3 years.
I wonder how these clinics deal with the phobia.
Aimee, you could *so* carry off both of those.
