A few words of advice: when the dentist says to take care of your teeth, please listen! I'm a sorry example of why brushing alone is not enough. Amazingly enough, I have no cavities, but I do have a handful of other dental issues that come from pish-toshing the dental floss

On the few occasions that I've had surgery (wisdom teeth) I was a nervous wreck to the point that the doctor had to tell me to behave, and the nurse had to sit on my feet. Scary - AND surreal!

Can you blame me, now, for hating Tori Amos? I can't hear that album without getting nauseous. (Except for "Pretty Good Year," which is a song about me.)

Just about everything in that song applies to me, except who is Lucy? Tori got that part wrong when she was spying on my life. And she obviously did, because I was always writing letters, every day in high school and all through every class, I wrote letters -- WITH my birthday pen.

I like that you have such a sassy dentist! Mine is pretty hunky but he could stand to be a lot sassier.

I don't have a set happy place to rest my mind when going to doctors, but I could use one. I avoid making eye contact when I'm having my blood drawn or when I'm having my teeth worked on. It's too weird.

Although I also think about "cankles" because the first time I went to this dentist the hygienist rattled on and on about her pregnancy, which caused her legs to swell up to the extent that, in her words, "My calves were totally like invisible from my feet.

My condolences on the gum issues. Poor thing. Uck. (And I can't wait to see the movie!)

I used to read her daughter's kiss-off book constantly when I was in high school, just because I was amazed at the strange power Dietrich held over men and women alike.
