That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

The speedometer on my Honda will stop working sometimes. It's annoying, but since it works most of the time I haven't worked up the enthusiasm to try to fix it.

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

Car GPSs are really cheap these days, and I think they all can show your speed. I think there's more of a lag, as GPS maybe shows your average speed over a few seconds? but that might be a cheaper substitute to repairing the speedometer.

sara, you will have a wonderful time! I can't wait to see your pictures.

I went to the Dentist for the first time in 6 years. It was a big giant mistake. I actually cried. Keep in mind, I went through a horrible preterm labor that had me screaming for meds and I never cried, or at least not from pain. But getting my teeth cleaned (and only half of them at that!) today and I was (1) in tears (2) contemplating biting the dental hygienist (3) literally sweating rivers down my legs and back (4) trying to crawl backwards out of the chair.

HATE DENTIST VISITS.

Our wings are not tired.

Kat, I don't know if it will help you, but before dentist visits I load up on ibuprofin. It helps ease a lot of the pain.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Kat, there are topical numb-ers. I totally demanded that when I had my teeth cleaned after ... a while and it was vital. She reapplied halfway through too.

Kat, I sympathize. I have TMJ and a regular cleaning can leave me in pain all day. I try to load up on pain meds before I go, too. Sometimes, if I'm having serious work done, I'll get the dentist to prescribe a sedative to relax me.

Ohhhh... a sedative would be nice. Tried the topical stuff which didn't work and I took Advil when I got home. I will advil beforehand.

I do think it is penance for all the times I didn't go.

Guilt shouldn't be part of the dental experience. The pain is enough.
