"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My poor daughter is going to have to have a couple of teeth pulled and then start orthodontics, I fear a dental phobia may be in the making.

That's definitely no fun. I had two pulled and then braces. The braces were less fun. They were very uncomfortable when the were first put on. But I think braces have gotten a lot easier in the intervening years.

There is also going to be headgear, but thankfully only at night.

Gud, how old is she, now? Are all her permanent teeth in? It seems early for othrodontics.

She's almost eight which is early, but she has some pretty serious problems so she has to start early with round one and there will more more work later.

Well, it's totally worth it, not only for cosmetic reasons but for dental and physical health. I hope it's not too hard on her.

I see from a news alert that a couple thousand Turkish troops have crossed into northern Iraq. I sure hope this doesn't turn into a dire situation, it's one of those potential timebombs in Iraq along with a conflict over Tikrit.

In other news I found this Mike Huckabee quote pretty silly. “If they want a president that doesn’t believe in God, there’s plenty of choices." I suppose he's referring to Senator Straw Mann.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I suppose he's referring to Senator Straw Mann.

Considering all the things wrong with Senator Straw Mann, I wonder how he managed to get elected in the first place.

I had a bad dentist as a kid which led to many years of dentist avoidance and a dentist anxiety. But my dentist now is so great that at my last visit I had one filling repaired and another minor filling done without any freezing. And I only found myself forgetting to breathe once in that whole visit.

Definitely, she's been self conscious about her teeth in the past so that will be a good thing. Most of all her teeth are very vulnerable to injury as they are so they need to be positioned better.

One of the good things about representing the State of Denial is that the voters never pay attention to your record.
