Whoo hoo!! Congratulations on quitting smoking and not killing each other. So happy for you guys!!yes, the news was about our quitting smoking!! jan. 25. some of you may remember, I found out about the actual day right here on the dis! on his trip report!. I was sitting here, having a beer or 2 or 5, happily puffing away, and read that we were quitting as of the next morning! huh!?!
and neither of us has had one since!!! I am so proud of us. (but not of the weight I've gained.)
but the money we saved .. after much thought, consideration, options. etc etc .. nah, poppycock. no debate at all. um, we deserve a disney trip for quitting.!!
(could probably afford a trip to the moon with the money we spent on cigs.)
but.. lots of new "triggers" coming up with the trip.![]()
the most amazing thing.. we quit together and haven't killed each other!!! guess this time it's for keeps!![]()
Hey Nebo, so excited to see you back, but very sad you won't be posting for the next 3 weeks. Have an absolutely fabulous trip!! I think I lost you midway a couple trip reports ago, so now I think I'll go back and catch up with you guys.And don't worry, you'll have plenty time to catch up, it's gonna be about 3 weeks between my posts in a couple days.
By the way, feel free to use this thread any way you see fit. Tell stories, whatever, I like having stuff to read when I get back. hugs, nebo and dobby![]()
So, Nebo & dobby (oh, er, um, I mean Smidgy) told us to use this thread any way we see fit. What do we do with it until they get back? Tell stories? Sing Songs? One song comes to mind. I'm sure you all know it, but I changed the words a little. Feel free to join in anytime.

Hey, Bob's here. Didn't you finally post on the last trip report the day it was sent to the mausoleum?
Well, your about six months ahead of yourself, this trip.
Nebo,

So, I'm relaxing in the dentist's chair (this is where YOU! the reader get to play! Is the next line:
1. "'cause everyone knows there's nothing more relaxing than going to the dentist" or is it
2. "then the dentist came back and asked for his chair back". YOU! get to decide!
So that was my morning… how was yours?
So.... what with queenbetsey having 25 teeth pulled (I still can't quite wrap my head around that... 25... that's TWENTY FIVE teeth!!!!). And nebo having to have Wes Craven the oral surgeon pull his last tooth to the right and straight on till molar. I figured I'd share today’s visit to the dentist.
About a month ago (okay, OKAY! it was in May) I broke the first molar on the top right side. Didn't hurt. Actually didn't bother me at all. I can wait 'til my normally scheduled torture, um, I mean check-up. A few days before the appointment (no, really this time, just a few days) I noticed that the last molar on the top right side felt "funny". Again, didn't hurt or anything. I thought maybe an old filling was working its way loose or something.
So, I'm relaxing in the dentist's chair (this is where YOU! the reader get to play! Is the next line:
1. "'cause everyone knows there's nothing more relaxing than going to the dentist" or is it
2. "then the dentist came back and asked for his chair back". YOU! get to decide!
... but I digress.)
So I'm in the dentist's chair when heinforms me that the top rear molar is in fact, broken. "How long will this take? An hour? Hour and a half?" I ask. I was going to add that I had something more fun to do... like stick a pin in my eye (that one's for you nebo). But I figured that it might not be too smart to P off the guy
that was going to have two hands full of pointy instruments in my mouth. The dentist
tells me that no, it should only be about half an hour. Whoo Hoo!
So then, I learned (over the next hour and a quarter) what various dental terms meant in laymen’s terms.
1. Aaarrgh! Definition: You know how I told you this’d be half an hour? Well that back molar is not just broken… it’s really broken. This’ll be awhile.
2. Tsk. Definition: And by the way, this is going to hurt. Used in conjunction with Aaarrgh! (see above).
3. This might pinch a bit. Definition: I won’t be surprised or alarmed if you rip the armrests off the chair.
4. You might be tender for a while. Definition: call nebo and see if he can spare some vikes.
So that was my morning… how was yours?
I'll take #2. for $1,000 ponzi. What are items you can't take out of a dentist's office?
Not nearly as exciting as yours. Considering I'm at work, nothing really exciting happened. Sneakingin some Dis time here and there. Boss is out on medical leave for 6 weeks. So I can sneak over and post more often now. Shhh.
Don't tell anyone though.

My burning question is: Was it MORE or LESS fun that a root canal?
Well, light or no light, moved things up a little bit tomorrow, the entire south/eastern U.S. forecast has really pithed me off.

At exactly 5:45 tomorrow morning,
( you know what's coming, right?)
give the person closest to you a big hug,,
Then,
firmly, and with feeling,,
join us in a worldwide chorus, of,,,,
Annnnnnnd,
We're Offfff !!!

nebo forgot, first we have to join hands and say a prayer for a safe trip.. join us in that prayer, won't you?
and, after that, "we're off!" see you all when we return.
hugs to all!![]()
Here's a scene that may be occurring even as we speak...
Nebo and Smidgy interrupt their vacation to go to the dentist. "I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want Novacaine because I'm in a big hurry," is overheard. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way." The dentist is quite impressed. "You're certainly brave," he said. "Which tooth is it?" Smidgy turns to Nebo and says, "Show him your tooth, Nebo."
Well let's see. I've had 2 or 3 root canals done in the last year or so (yes, I actually lost count)... about the same actually. As far as I know I've got the best man for the job though, I asked him if he'd ever received any awards and he said he got a little plaque.
Insert groan here.
