TOOTHLESS IN SEATTLE

Okay, not Seattle.  I live in Mountain View.  Nonetheless and howsomenever, I’m going to need some major dental work.  That’s spelled with a capital $.

When I saw my dentist last week to have my lower denture adjusted, he determined that when I fell and hit my jaw, I loosened an anchor tooth.  In the past he has mentioned other lower teeth are loose, so he is recommending that at some point those have to come out, and a new denture made.  That’s what I get for growing old.

My personal philosophy regarding unpleasant things that must be done is to get it over with -- get it behind me!  Not, you understand, that I look forward to the dental work, but I don’t want to keep looking forward to it!  So I’m thinking that as soon as my ribs heal sufficiently, I will go ahead with this.  Oh, goody!

How about something on the light side --

  1. Even my minor check ups and cleanings are scheduled early in the morning because I can't wait to get them over with!

  2. And don't forget the voice in your head: my hearing aids have a male voice pronouncing "Low battery!" when they're close to needing replacing, and it's set to be able to be heard in a noisy environment. So you're sitting there minding your own business and suddenly you jump because the voice in your head is yelling at you. Amusing, that. Sometimes.
