So, per sugardose's request, I am updating! Not much to say, though. The 4th was alright, sat around with Mom, Dad & John. Grilled, watched Clay Aiken sing to fireworks, etc. etc. It was nice, I don't mind not seeing fireworks up close at all. After you've living on an island/beach & seen fireworks done out in the ocean

OH, my dentist is supposed to only see kids & teenagers up to 18. But since I was a 'special case' he refuses to stop seeing me. He knows how hard it would be for me to find a dentist who would understand what I go through & whatnot. I've been going to this dentist for 10 years or more, can't remember. Either way, they do EVERYTHING they can to make each visit the best it can be for me. There is one hygenist who does my cleanings, & I will only do them with her because she is gentle & knows me & is willing to do whatever it takes to make me more comfy. When she flosses my teeth, she goes slow. When she polishes them, she doesn't turn the brush on SUPER high. When she scrapes up under the gum line, so that I don't feel that, she uses this gel on my gum to numb it for a few minutes. They go out of their way to make me comfortable there. They have ever offered to let me come & observe them doing things such as fillings, caps, sealants, cleanings.. because part of overcoming a fear is learning about it. They had taught me the dentist-lingo.. so that when they say 'we have a MD watch on 19' for example, I know what they're talking about. & they show me my xrays everytime they take them & help me to find all the watch spots, etc etc etc. Yeah, they are the best I could ever hope for. It's just a clinical phobia that I have to grow out of & learn to get over.

Now THAT was the most boring post ever.
