Right. So...
I know I made that end-of-year resolution or whatever to write every day, and I know that it's been a week now since I last did, but honestly, I didn't have anything to say, and I'm not sure people read this mess anyway, and I hadn't received any messages of "Where are you?" or "Ummm...hello?" or "Did you fall in?" so I figured if y'all didn't care, I didn't need to either. After all, I do all of this for the fans. However...
I went to the dentist yesterday (no cavities!!), and I got into a conversation with the hygienist about the tartar-scraping. The conversation started with me wincing and making little gasps of pain and discomfort, to which she replied, "I'm almost done. I know you hate this part." When she took her giant metal hook of torture out my mouth, I said, "Does anybody actually like this part?" Apparently there are freaks out there who do. She said she has some patients who tell her she can just dig down in there as hard as she wants. They actually request that she scrape harder because in their sicko masochistic minds, they think it feels good.
There are also people who hate the polishing part. I don't know if these are the same people who like the scraping part, but I think they're all crazy. Crazy, I tell you! Alright. Show of hands (and by hands, of course, I mean comments). And be honest here. Does anyone seriously like the tartar-scraping and/or hate the tooth-polishing? Come on. Who are the crazies?

Can't say that I hate any particular part of the cleaning process, except when they clean out my wallet.
I'll go ahead and say that I like the scraping bit, and I'm not masicist. Its sorta like getting a hard massage...hurts a little, but mostly feels good.
1. I had to rewrite this since I had not signed my blog up with Google. Sorry, Big Brother.
2. I read your blog daily, and noticed you hadn't blogged. But neither have I, and I am not one to cast stones.
3. I love the dentist. Everything about it. Probably because I've never had a cavity and I gets heaps of praise by anyone who looks into my mouth. I also have amazing dental, as opposed to the rest of my craptastic insurance. If you live in the NYC area, Dr. Fine on 42nd and 5th is awesome! :)

just so you know... i have been totally missing your blogs:)!!! i do check it every day. xxx ann
OMG I'm biting my lips together just thinking about it!!! Eww! NO! Keep yer metal hooky thing AWAY from me! AHHHHH!!! *running screaming from the room*
Awww! You DO care!! And it appears as though the barnmouse and I are the only ones who feel this way about the dentist. You people all like eggs too, don't you? And beef and tomatoes. I bet you'd just loooove nothing more than to have a big beefy omlette and then head down to the dentist's office to let them scrape out all the left-overs from under your gums with a sharp metal hook.
I hate every experience the dentist has to offer. Hate it. Like the way I hate cookies with stuff on them.
I just got back from the dentist. I must say that I don't really mind anything they do. I particularly like flossing. But one thing I really hate is after you have to be numbed the way it feels when it starts to wear off!
i scrape my own teeth.... and i like it. i can't stand the polishing.
