Good news!  Thanks  . Would be even better news if I could stop worrying over nothing.  I used to worry over nothing too! Do you think we could be related? Ban Nothing! I say! |

Text Received. Panic Over. Thank you for sorting it! Huzzahs Texts are a pain in the bum, sometimes they do not arrive until the next day True. Texts are annoying like emails are - you can't tell if someone has read them or not and you can't pretend you haven't read them because you know the person at the other end is wondering why you're not replying. I am happier when Mini-Trub is out without a phone usually, there's solace in knowing that you haven't heard from someone because they aren't beside a phone. I tell people not to bother ringing or texting me because I won't be looking at my phone because I don't like it. It doesn't stop them. (Her phone was forgotten at the the bottom of a bag - just like I knew it was lol. Can't blame the network for that this time. ) |

My Dentist was doing a filling once, and I almost dozed off! Now that's what I call a great dentist! Or a great patient! |

You're not really a woman are you Everso? Bollocks! Think of me at 3 o'clock when Mr. Patel gets going with his drill. Even the word drill is terrifying. Drill.  |

Funnily enough, I used to say to my Mum, when she'd say "Sorry haven't replied - were doing such and such" that I really didn't mind if she didn't reply instantaneously - 'cos that's what I see as the beauty of texting - you can talk to someone without (necessarily) interrupting them - they are free to look at your message when they have a spare minute and not before.
Unless of course they've stuck on one of the sillier message alert noises! As for me - I just have the very quiet single "bleep". Though my ears are such that I can still recognise it even when I'm upstairs from the phone.

I'm a little bit frightened because my child hasn't checked in with me since yesterday lunchtime and of course she is ok and I know she is just out having fun and I knew she wasn't coming home last night but I asked her to let me know she was alive so I wouldn't worry. And there is no answer from her phone or her friend's. No surprise, there never is. A phone is something to lose in the bottom of your bag and forget you have. I know this because I taught her the method by bad example. And she is 17. An adult. So.. I am just being a worrying mum. But I HATE this. Tell me about it sister. Tell me about it. I want them both to leave home so that I don't have to be pacing the floor, looking out the window, checking the phone is working, looking out hospital and police station numbers, etc. Uberteen is going away to Uni at the end of Summer, so that's one down, but I fear QOTT will be getting lifts home in the black & white taxi for some time to come. I buy her mobiles, and then she gets so out-her-face she loses them in places unknown, or she answers it when I phone and sounds so out-her-face that I worry. She is mobile-less at the moment, and I don't know if it's worse or better. |

P.s I don't mind the dentist too much, but I've not needed a filling for about 30 years so I'm chilled.
There's always time for dental hygiene Seymour.
Name that film/show.

Well, I'm back from the dentist.
It wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be. Mr. Patel (he of the magic fingers) is very gentle, although I did think once or twice that the drill would emerge from my eye socket.
It also helps that he's young and good looking ;D

Trubs and Riot: Daughters are a blessing and a curse. I had so many rows with our daughter when she lived at home - never letting us know if she would be in late etc. In the end, at the age of 19, she left home and went to live in the centre of Chelmsford in a Victorian hovel. You know the Beatles song "She's Leaving Home"? I can't listen to it, even now, without tears springing to my eyes - except she didn't meet a man from the motor trade. However, that was over 10 years ago. She's now a mum with two little ones and every now and again, I remind her that one day her daughter will go out and not let her know when she's coming in, will probably get a tattoo and several piercings and leave her comfortable home for a down-and-out single bedroom  Ah, it's great being a grandmother. ;D |

I get terrified rigid just going for a check up at the dentist. Although there is a reason. Once when I was away at school I got toothache and they took me to the local dentist who said I needed a filling. He then proceed to drill my tooth without giving me any pain relief, and is it any surprise that I metaphorically went through the ceiling. He then blamed it on his faulty equipment.
It is therefore not my fault that I turn to jelly at the signt of a dentists chair, let alone the drill!!
My mobile phone is only for emergencies, so I keep it switched off mostly, to the annoyance of the old man when he is trying to text/ring me.

everso, I'm glad it was okay.
Keeping my jaw open is becoming a real problem. When I had root canal treatment my dentist gave me a block to clamp on. But the last time I had a lengthy treatment with another dentist - the best part of an hour at least - the dentist couldn't find one, and I was desperate, my jaw ached so.

I'm nails me. (I demanded the diamorphine after she was born, and they all got a bit snotty about that. Bloody NHS!) |

I noticed your karma was looking a little slim, and I wouldn't want to be encouraging people to bid it up to the average out of some misplaced sense of fairness. |

That reminds me of an old joke. Woman: I'd sooner be having a baby than visiting the dentist. Dentist: Well, make up your mind, I have to know which position to set the chair. Ba-boom.  |

I went to have a crown refixed which fell off after being in situ for over 20 years. The dentist started drilling to fix the posts and I went through the ceiling. "That's odd" said he, "There shouldn't be any nerves there"...
"Well, I think you'll find there are", replied self, when scraped down from said ceiling.
