JUST ANOTHER DAY


I'M SORRY, WHAT? YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK LOUDER THAN THAT IF YOU WANT ME TO RESPOND. I CAN'T HEAR YOU WITH THE SCREAMING IN MY BRAIN. THERE IT IS AGAIN. SOMETHING ABOUT A DENTIST APPOINTMENT IN ONE DAY.

I'VE HARDLY GIVEN IT A SECOND THOUGHT, SINCE REALIZING I'D NEED TO RETURN...FOR A ROOT CANAL THIS TIME. AND A CLEANING AND INSPECTION, WHERE THEY'LL PROBABLY FIND FOUR MORE TEETH ROTTING DOWN TO THE NERVE AND DYING IN MY JAW. IT'S NOT LIKE I'M WORRIED OR ANYTHING. JUST ANOTHER DAY. ANOTHER DRILL IN MY FACE. NO BIGGIE. (LIGHT, CAREFREE LAUGHTER)

SO ANYWAY, NOT TOO MUCH IS LIKELY TO GET DONE UNTIL I CAN SILENCE THIS MANIAC IN MY SKULL. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? IF SO, PLEASE THROW ME A BONE, FRIENDS. I'M GOING DEAF!

(This picture is a dramatic interpretation of the previous dialogue)

You should get your dentist to prescribe you a valium before you go. It's too late to tell you to brush and floss - like I've been doing that for five years now and they still find problems! Do you think dentists and mechanics are just wired to find problems so they can charge you out the nose for things that you just really don't need to get done? ;o) Well, the good thing is Diet Coke NEVER hurts your teeth!

We even bought a "super-freakin'-sonic" toothbrush set and that's about when I started noticing problems. Must have shaken the junk out of my teeth craters and then all the rot became more apparent. I'm ignoring that mechanic remark, by the way. :)

And you're right. I'm NOT pregnant! (whew) Anony, how about a Diet Coke shake? Yeah. Hm. Never mind. That even reads gross.

I think you need a new dentist! There is no way that all that candy could ever do that to your teeth. He must just want to make a buck. It's a recession you know! However, if you do decide to go through with it I know a doc. who can really drug you up. I will even go with you and hold your hand! I'm there for you!!
