At one point, I put of going to the dentist for over ten years. When I finally went, it turned out OK, though. No cavities.
Ditto here. Traumatic horror show of last baby tooth removal in 9th grade = not seeing a dentist again until my mid 20s. Fortunately, genetics and the OCD approach to brushing served me in good stead.
I can smell barbeque out my window. I'm tempted to find the source and ask for a hamburger....
I envy those with good teeth. I've got so much amalgam in my mouth, I've probably got mercury poisoning. Had to have my baby teeth capped, lots of fillings through grade school, hellish orthodonture, etc.
At least my parents had good dental insurance.
Zenkitty, who are you on LJ? I'm arliss. You've got me curious about your visiting asshat.
I have to go check in on the cat I'm minding for vacationing friends. Other than that I've accomplished, officially, um, nothing today. And proud of it!
Hee, I have the same curiousity as Beverly about your lj visitor, Zen (I'm jenlp).
I have done laundry today and am toying with rearranging the furniture in my bedroom. I need to find a tape measure first, I think.
OK. Laundry is in, living room and kitchen have been vacuumed (I hate sweeping). Nice that I had three days to clean my small apartment, and have left it until now.
I had a bad dentist in my early teens, added to bad genetics, and I had two teeth break and one root canal, all in high school. Now I have two crowns on the two broken teeth, but no new work since then. Phew! Of course, it's been years since I've been to the dentist, and now I have insurance again, so I'm planning on going this fall.
I haven't got as much done as I wanted, but am still pleased with my day. I'm getting caught up with all the DVDs I've bought over the past year or so and never took the time to watch. 'Tis fun.
Beverly and Jen, I'm zenkitty_714. (I'm wildly inventive with the names!) The discussion is August 21. It's really a tempest in a teapot; hardly anyone reads my LJ except for a few friends and one amusing stalker.
Maybe you can tell me, if you do read it, if I was out of line or too sensitive. It just really rubbed me the wrong way.
You're still ahead of me, Jesse. I went to TJs, and to get the cat's insulin, but now I think it might be nap time, instead of cleaning time.
You've got three hours on me, Lee. I just left the house for the first time, to put in the laundry.
