Also

If the state of a person's soul or character was in any way a reflection of the number of cavities a person has, I would definitely be going to hell. On Friday when I visited this dentist there was much gushing about how awesome my teeth and mouth were and what a good job I was doing. I thought I might even get my name on a plaque or be asked to be a patient ambassador for some wayward dental stewards or something. Today the receptionist called to tell me I had 8 cavities. Not sure that's possible but until I get a second opinion, I'm kind of in a bad mood about it. I was especially annoyed with the non-dentist receptionist schooling me on how cavities form over time and that the kind of cavities I had suggested there was a "flossing issue." Bitch, I have a cavity issue and an issue with you telling me I have 8 cavities, self-esteem issues, work-life balance issues, intermittent back issues, but what I can assure you I do NOT have is a "flossing issue."

Seriously. Who does that? You're not telling me I have high blood pressure and need to lose 15 pounds. It's not like I can floss the cavities away. Shut your damn mouth.

Just wasn't the day to give me information that would not have any impact on the news she dropped on me. Just like advising someone in a cast they should watch their step is liable to get you hit in the face with a crutch.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me. :-)
