I went with a former boyfriend to Barcelona and he wanted to climb the Sacrada Familia (V big, not quite finished cathedral) So reluctantly I agreed - and that is love folks, the git should have married me for that alone - sorry digression rant in check.
There were lots of school parties and the building is like giant lace curtains, effing holes everywhere. The kids were running and fooling around and scaring the sh one t out of me.
I made the climb to the top where I sat firmly on the floor and flatly refused to look at the view. and after all that he still married someone else grrrrr.”

My son's teeth were decalcified because he went off milk and loved Ribena. My doc told me to keep giving him it because of the vitamins and the dentist told me not to because he was beginning to have problems...............what do you do eh?

when you have the intravenous sleepytime stuff that knocks you out, i notice the dental nurse has a chart with little emoticons on for how you react to it they are pretty much like

The sugar is a killer on kids teeth. Do you recall the outcry about sunnyD? That stuff had tons of sugar in it. Think it's got better now though.

I must look out for that and see if I can scrounge one.
Would make a brilliant t-shirt, with the smileys down the right hand side
Talking of signage. My brother just sent me a photo of the signs for the toilets somewhere. They have the usual stick figure icons for women, men and wheelchair users and then a fourth one which is supposed to be a shower but looks like a stick figure drawing of a dalek.

It's definitely got a lot better nowadays.

I don't like the dentist >>>>shudder<<<<< my fear stems from when I was a child and the dentist made my grandma sit with me on her lap while he pulled one of my teeth out. I never forgave 'Butcher Brown' & avoided the dentist for years. Nowadays I have treatment but only with sedation, you're not out cold just a bit out of it & you aren't aware of what's happening, which suits me fine.

I do think things have changed dramatically with dentistry now thankfully. When I was a kid the school dentist was called Mr Crabb and he was horrendous. The kids were all terrified of him. Unfortunately a lot of us live with our fears because of bad experiences.

Of course, some of us file them alphabetically, and take them out and stroke them lovingly in the dark while whispering in ancient languages...
