Dentist

Is there anyone who actually enjoys going to the dentist? I've had so much work done I should be used to it but have been traumatized by rough dentists. I have to practically hold a gun to my head to make myself go. TB's been to this dentist, Dr. Oshidar, and he's very good. He was very witty and gentle. Still, when he was examining my teeth my whole body stiffened up and I felt like I'd break in half. Thankfully, there are no cavities (well, after all, there's little to no real teeth left, they are all shell and filling and bridgework and crowns). I need a crown but they're expensive. I don't want to lose the tooth though so I guess I better save.

The doctor did say one thing that alarmed me. He was really impressed with how long I've had my bridge. It's well over 10 years. "They're not permanent?" I asked, dismayed.

I should have known. It's like having a car, the doctor explained. Eventually it's going to wear out but the better you take care of it the longer it'll last.

Yipes!

As much as I admired Tom on Survivor, he was not my "Pulau Twin". Much to my surprise:

Your Survivor Palau Twin is Ian

Goofy, but an all around nice person. The Napolean Dynamite of Survivor!

1. Do you prefer to be in a comfort zone or challenged, and why?
Oh, I want to be in a comfort zone. I've done my years being challenged and now the old gray mare wants to graze. Heh heh

2. How often do you back up your data?
Not often enough!

3. How do we know the past is real?
Faith in documents of the times. Nowadays, we've got film, videos, and other technology...although I guess there's always someone who will claim it's all made up. :P
