Thoughts on the Day

  • There comes a time when they’ve put so much Novocaine into your jaw that it’s better to lie, clench your toes, and breathe through the pain so that the dentist will just get on with it.
    • No, I didn’t do it with no numbing, but I sure as heck felt it.
    • I know there’s no points for doing stuff like this, but someone better remember it when I’m talking my way into Valhalla.
  • Eating a big sandwich after having three fillings put in and while my mouth and face were utterly numb probably wasn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
  • Washing aspirin down with a cold beer to overcome tooth pain wasn’t very bright either.
    • Warm coffee, on the other hand, felt wonderful.
  • Not sure why this scared me, but it did:  When I went to Little Bear’s school to fetch him for a doctor’s appointment, four young ladies came through who were visibly pregnant.  One of them was having Braxton-Hicks contractions and breathing through them.
  • If I am rooting for the people who almost run you over, maybe you ought to move down to the crosswalk.
