thats 3 hrs after...dumkoff!

[Sword_of_Gideon]

gentle torture? hmmmm.....

Well, I do have a dentist appointment this morning, while it's technically torture, it is neither gentle nor at your hands! lol.

[CholeraJoe]

am i wrong in thinking that South Park is Korean anime? ; )

The animation may be done in the ROK, but the characters, writers, and producers are All American.

[xsmommy]

i despise going to the dentist! hope it won't hurt too bad, SG!

[xsmommy]

i was teasing, given that PARK is a very common Korean name and orientals are so into that animation stuff. while i have never seen the show, i am familiar with it.

[Sword_of_Gideon]

Doubtful... just a cleaning today, although that can sometimes be a little uncomfortable.... maybe I can talk them into giving me the gas.... everything goes better with gas.

[xsmommy]

every time i go for a cleaning, he gets out the calculator and his son's tuition bill and starts thinking up renovations and refurbishing.

[Sword_of_Gideon]

They try that on me (never had a cavity though).... everytime they try to talk me into having my wisdom teeth removed. At the age I am now, I keep telling them I've grown attached to them & am not planning on parting with them anytime soon since they fit & don't cause too many problems.

[xsmommy]

never had a cavity? aren't you the lucky one? xshub is cavity free and always gets good reports from the dentist. hopefully the kids take after him. we had well water w/o flouride growing up, so i don't know if it is that or hereditarily weak teeth or what.

[Sword_of_Gideon]

I was allergic to milk as a child & always took calcium growing up. I've never broken a bone & the dentist says my teeth have extremely thick enamel. My one daughter takes after me (allergic to milk & takes calcium), so hopefully she takes after me as well since the wife is the one with the weak teeth (seems like everytime she goes they find one or two more cavities).

[Sword_of_Gideon]

Plus, I hate needles & am terrified of them, so it's good that I've never had a cavity.

[CholeraJoe]

I say old bean would you pull my finger?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[xsmommy]

xshub is the weenie of all weenies and would truly have to be completely put under to have a cavity filled, i have no doubt. so same as you, good he never had one!

my youngest is the only one with cavities and she is a thumbsucker so it could be that. or it could be that she is my clone (which she is) and takes after me, in that regard as well.

[xsmommy]

well it is the friday before a holiday, i bet class attendance will be sparse and i will not be getting all the sucking up that i was hoping for. dang.

[Sword_of_Gideon]

I know what you mean... I have to go for my yearly physical next month & I hate the old bloodwork part of it.... I've passed out before & have even smashed my own toes on one foot with my other foot right before they stick me so that I'll concentrate on the pain in my foot & not the fact that they're sticking me. I'm sure there's some psychological term for someone like me who can tolerate self-inflicted pain but can't stand a small pin prick from someone else.

[hobbes1]

I already bought you a treat, at 250... ; )

[xsmommy]

how cute. 10 year old boy humor. i will be sure to pass it on to xsboy, he will no doubt guffaw....

[xsmommy]

yes, darling, you are oh so considerate and caring...RME....

[Sword_of_Gideon]

i bet class attendance will be sparse and i will not be getting all the sucking up that i was hoping for. dang.

So what kind of sucking up were you desirous of? Groveling or flattery or ???
