Today's Deep Thought

[smeddley]

Never underestimate the importance of a good stapler... and a good staple remover.

Also, I don't want to go to the dentist this afternoon. I'm getting a crown on one of my very back teeth, and it's not going to be pleasant. Ergh.

*hugses for having to go to the dentist* I'm thinking of you dear - bite his finger if he hurts you

The dentist always hurts me... it's hard to numb me enough! And yet I kinda like my dentist, since he puts up with my obnoxiousness!

Thanks for the sympathy - I did survive, though it was crap-tastic.

Amen to that. I swear I've gone through at least a stapler a year since I started college. They keep running away ... where they go, I have NO idea.

Awwww. *hugs* That sucks, I hope it goes well and painlessly.

It went fairly well, though not at all painlessly. :/ It never does.

I have an awesome stapler at work, the one at home was just old. But now we both have shiny new staplers! Yay!

A friend of a friend of mine went to the dentist one time to get a crown put in and while they were in the chair they actually burst into flames and after the smoke cleared all that was left were ashes and a bunch of teeth. True story.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

I had a tooth that was abscessed (it'd been infected for three weeks) pulled and they couldn't numb it all the way with Novocaine (and it would have been two weeks until he could fit me in to put me under). After that nightmare of an experience, no dental horror stories scare me. I'm pretty sure that's about as bad as it gets.

I have a favorite stapler. I should take a photo of it sometime.

Also, I hope you and your teeth get through the ordeal all okey dokey.

You should! We could all do it, and start a weird meme-like trend. Sure, it would confuse people and we'd look really weird, but hey, why not? :D

I'm still alive, and I didn't snap anyone's head off, so I'd say the visit went as well as could be expected!

Have posted photo!

Crowns aren't really that bad as long as teh dentist puts in enough numbing shots!!

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

The problem is I never seem to get numb enough, no matter how much they put in. That, and the shots hurt!

[revoked-soul.livejournal.com]

Eeeww, dentist! Good luck!

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

Thanks... I'm pretty much an old hat at it (I've had tons of dental work!) but I still get a bit skittish for some visits...

Just remember...
dentists are as scared of you as you are of them...
well maybe not.

You could always bash him upside the head with your good stapler

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

My dentist may be afraid of me... I can be pretty obnoxious!

Sadly, I didn't get my stapler until after the visit, but I'll bear it in mind for next time. The idea has a lot of merit... :D And you'll come and bail me out of jail for 'assault with a Swingline weapon', right?

So...you're going to crown your back teeth with a stapler and a stapler remover? And they say our healthcare system is failing.

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

All joking aside, the dental care is something I really love about this country. I'd be toothless in a lot of other places!

Of all the weird things I have stapled, my teeth have (thus far) thankfully not been one of them...

It's like there's a coup in your mouth!

But no pigeons.

Unless you like that kind of thing.

I try not to judge people.

*choke*

*guffaw*

[penchaft.livejournal.com]

I fail a lot. =(

(Our dentist is a friend of the family, and when I rocked up for my annual check-up on crutches a few weeks back she said, "oh, your poor mother!"

NO SYMPATHY FOR ME. JUST FOR MY MUM.)

They do know you well... ;)
