Tequihuahqueh are about half done; not bad, given than my weekend involved a traumatic visit to the dentist.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Not good !

My teeth were fine for 35 + years after my 'childhood' dentist filled virtually ALL of my 'back teeth'.
After that....I went for about 5 to 6 years going to the original dentist, where I was told....." Nope...nothing needs to be done."....So I gave up bothering going...and I never had any problems, at all....Truly.

Some time (8-10 years ago)....an old 'mercury' filling came out, causing a fair amount of angst.... So I went to a local dentist, asking...."Can you take that particular tooth out, to stop the pain."

Dr 'Mengele' told me the tooth didn't need to come out...(Much more money for him, in doing fillings)....and he also filled two other teeth, which weren't causing me any problems, at all.

All the new fillings came out in less than two months...(And because he'd gone totally overboard with the drilling....leaving a tiny little shell of 'tooth'....They've all cracked off since.)

So I assumed they were just trying to con me into paying for dental insurance.....(Do a crap job...so I'd have to go back all the time.)

Dr Mengele seems to have 'de-nerved' all the teeth that he b*ggered up.....So I don't get any pain, as such.

I should probably made a claim against the practice......I'll never go near a dentist again.

Traumatic and Dentist - two words that don't pair well!

I have given up wargaming all together and am now dedicating all of my free time to working out how to get a 21 years old body again.

Experiment 28 has just failed - eating one and half bars of Ritter chocolate - my knees and back still hurt and now I feel sick as well.

other than that, a pleasant Sunday afternoon!


Every time I go to the dentist, the dentist politely says 'have you been having any problems' and I politely say 'no'  - I mean, why would you say anything else! :-X

Having had plenty of work done on my teeth since I was very, very young, a visit to the dentist doesn't bother me one jot.

Two teeth out this year (unopposed wisdom teeth, described as 'pointless teeth) and that's it apart from three fillings in the 80s...
