See if you guys can top this "dentist" story. Well, at least that is what he professed to be.

Went to the dentist; needed 2 crowns. Told the dentist I was stressed out to begin with (thought that would give me an edge).

Then he:
1. Kept me in the chair for THREE HOURS.
2. Gave me SIX needles so I wouldn't FEEL THE PAIN.
3. Drilled so fast he caused filling particles to fly into my tonsils and back of throat, and then they couldn't see them so I kept pointing to the back of my throat. Luckily I retrieved one of them with my tongue which I promptly stuck out.
4. Left my impression in longer that he should have, thus causing an entire bridge to be pulled out when he attempted to tear apart my teeth from the impression.
5. And had the guts to say "Hope today wasn't too bad".


TOO BAD?    

The ONLY possible worse thing about that chair is that it could have been ELECTRIC!!!!

Yes, today I met the DENTIST FROM ****!

Anyone want to share "DENTAL HORRORS"?

Symphony,

There's only one thing I remember about "Leap of Faith" - it made me laugh.  

Gee, was it really that long ago? Now that makes me want to cry.  

Alfie

Whitehorse,

Unfortunately, I have not seen either one. I was very suprised to hear that some decent movies are still being made, and appreciate the info.

Alfie

No, Symphony-

Not Stallone! Close though because my cat does know how to litter "box".  

Give up yet?

Alfie

Good morning to you, Symphony.

Tabbies are so pretty and have such sweet temperaments.

INKY? Well, that's a real good guess. Kind of cute too. But, sorry, no grin; I will give you a "smiley" face though just for being you!

God bless you, Symphony.

Alfie

Believe it or not,had to edit because I forgot to put in the smiley face.

As far as I know, cats are not mentioned at all in the Bible. Perhaps this is why cats were always associated with witches, and black cats were a sign of bad luck. Did you know that animal shelters will usually not adopt any black cats out near Halloween because of the sickos out there that abuse them?

No, I don't believe black cats are bad luck or anything else that reflects a cat in a negative light. In fact, I own a little black cat; she is an indoor cat.  Can anyone guess her name?

Okay, guess I'm in my juvenile mode. But, I'll give a "grin" face to the one who can guess the correct name. Now how's that for the grand prize???

Proverbs 12:10 - A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal.


God bless all the animals especially the ones we have loved whose sweet spirits are now with Our Lord.

Alfie

It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words; thank you, Symphony.

Alfie

Thank you all.

Not doing too good. I am mourning the loss of my dog who I had to put to sleep last Friday. We could do no more for her pain.

May God welcome her sweet spirit into his kingdom where she will be waiting for me.  

God bless you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Alfie

Whitehorse,

So sad to hear of this little missing child. My heart and prayers go out to her family. May the re-unite with her soon. There is nothing more sorrowful than having harm come to our children for they are the innocents and the truly sweet spirits of God.

Alfie

Seven_Tides,

May God bless you and your family and may God look with favor upon your grandfather.

Alfie

Seven-Tides,

Not the LA Times, but one of our local newspapers. Can't remember if it was in the Californian or the Press Enterprise.

Wreck N Sow,

There is good and bad in everything. Needless to say, that goes for all religions. We have been hearing so much negative news about the Catholic Church and the priests, but as in everything we have some good priests that are committed to their vows.

Alfie

Welcome back, Seven_Tides. Really hard to keep track of things now since alot have changes their names. We even have to be sharper now than we were before.  


Alfie

Read an article in the paper the other day about Mormon crickets moving there way West and devouring things along the way. I can't remember now whether they said they are in Nevada or Arizona. But I remember reading that the roads are covered with them and cars are actually sliding on the highways due to the numbers of these sleek little critters.  

It also mentioned that they have not seen these crickets in such abundance since right before WW II. Sign of the times?

It seems they got the name "Mormon" crickets from a story years back when the Mormons suffered an infestations of these things. The story goes that they prayed to God to help them in some way; their prayers were heard when flocks of  seagulls came and apparently helped rid them of the problem.

Anyone else heard anything on this?

Hmm- just thinking. Said they're heading West and I'm in California. Nah, they'd never make it through these freeways  


Alfie

Symphony,

Just remembered some more old names: Iraneus and Petro.
They disagreed quite frequently with one another. Do you know if either are back?

Blessings my friend,

Alfie

She is in my prayers too.
