Ah yes, the dreaded dentist chair. I can't help but think of Dustin Hoffman in the "Marathon Man" when I see one of these. With that psycho German guy (name?) asking him, "Is it safe?" If I watched that movie a hundred times I'd still squirm when he starts drilling without using any Novocain.
Most of us don't exactly look forward to spending any amount of time in one of these chairs. So I'm wondering, what five things do you rate as worse than this.
Reading my blog is not a valid answer either!

Sir Laurence Olivier ...wasn't that the same movie with the dobermans??
There are not five things worse than the dentist...kidney stones come to mind.
True story...when I was divorced I put into my decree that my daughter's father was responsible for taking her to the dentist...THAT is how much I hated going. (rolling my eyes...)
Sir O, that's it.
Even so called "nice dobermans" scare the crap out of me.
Sorry, didn't mean to hit a nerve.
Oh--lemme see.......
(forgive me, please.....but....)
Having body parts cut off, puking your guts out for days on end after chemotherapy, having people TOUCH you after that dose of 'rat poison', stereotactic radiation that people say doesn't hurt....AND roasted parsnips.
Yep.
Gimme the dentist chair.
No nerve hit for me. LOL
It's hard to hit one on a moving target.
Which is why I tell people I squiggle so much...LOL
k..truth is I just have whole bunches of energy!
:-)
Damn! Along with energy it sounds like endurance is something else you possess.
roasted parsnips? sounds icky.
Kind of looking spooky
Thirty Seven days of 360 degree Radiation of the groin area, that did it for me.
What's worse than sitting in a dentist's chair? Hmmmmmm, let's see . . . having an amputation without benefit of anesthetia comes to mind. Or getting struck by lightening . . . or having to eat liver & onions or . . . guess there's not much else . . .
"The Babe"
. . . oops, that's "anesthesia." Maybe I should add competing in a spelling bee to that list, huh?
I have to say Jeff, I am loving your posts!
Gosh, what is worse than going to the dentist? I know I have made the statement many times...it was worse than pulling teeth...but I can't recall what those things were at the moment.
I would have to say that it is speaking in front of my peers. I can be silly or heart felt in front of kids and teens all day long, but tell me to speak up in front of my peers...my heart quickens and my stomach rises to my throat.
yeah...okaaaaay Mel....the Dentist isn't so bad afterall.
How thankful I am for your healing..and all of your recoveries!
Nice.
Thanks.
What's worse than going to the dentist? Going to a dentist-specialist for a root canal. And then learning that the specialist can't numb the important nerve within the jawbone, leading up into the molar, the first time through. So he politely asks you to come back for a second visit (after packing the tooth full of gauze filled with mummification fluid), so he can do it all again.
That, and accidently drinking bad milk.
Man, that scene still haunts me today.

#5 - Waiting to go to the dentist;

And the #1 thing worse than going to the dentist:
Not having a proper doodie in the morning.

I actually don't mind the dentist chair at all. It's just BORING. I hate boring things. I do amuse myself, though, by cracking up the hygienists. :D
