A question

Hygienist: “You have some stains on your lower back left tooth.”
Me: “It’s a wisdom tooth.”
H: “Oh, that’s okay then…” *pause for her to think a moment* “That’s not a wisdom tooth, that’s a second adult molar.”
Me: “No. The dentist removed all of those. It’s a wisdom tooth.”
H: “Oh. Ask the dentist about the stain.”

20 minutes later…

Me: “The hygienist said something about a stain or my lower back left tooth.”
Dentist: *peers into my mouth* “Just a stain, nothing to worry about…but you shouldn’t have it like that on your molar.”
Me: “It’s a wisdom tooth.”
D: “Oh, that’s okay then. But that’s not a wisdom tooth, that’s a second adult molar.”
Me: “No. All of those were removed.”
D: “Oh. Okay then.”
Me: “And handed to me in a little envelope.”
D: *checks the x-ray from last year* “Oh yeah. Nothing to worry about.”

It’s not the first time it’s happened either.

Writer’s Block: Clothing Options

When it comes to clothes, would you rather be comfortable or fashionable?

Comfortable. Always.

I’ve never understood fashionable. I’ve got high heels, but they are comfortable ones because otherwise I would never have bought them. I reject clothes that don’t fit well around my shoulders.

Also, I dress more or less the same as I did when I was 13 – only maybe a bit less baggy. Fashion has only bothered me when it meant that I couldn’t find something I wanted to wear in shops. ::shrug::

OH. I have the day off tomorrow. I almost forgot, but remember the milk has just twittered me that I have to go to the dentist tomorrow. YAAAAAY.
