Finish the Sentence

FINISH THE SENTENCE!

   1. My ex… is probably as glad as I am that we are not together any more.

 

  2. Maybe I should…do something useful instead of reading all day! {You knew I was going to get the Kindle in here somehow, didn’t you!}

  3.I love  ….the smell of green tea perfume.

  4. People would say that I’m …  English. {It’s the accent.}

  5. I don’t understand why …   I run out of energy so quickly these days.

  6. When I wake up in the morning… I am always hungry

 7. I lost my …  car keys once and found them in my purse! That was actually quite a surprise because I have pretty well trained myself to put them in the pocket of whatever I am wearing.

 8. Life is full of .. . things to worry about if I was into worrying

  9. My past is …  seventy four years behind me.

 10. I get annoyed …    very seldom these days, and when it does happen, I get over it quickly.

 11. Parties are… not of much interest to me.

  12. I wish …  I could walk without lurching. But, wishing will not make it so.

  13. Dogs are…      nice but not for me.

  14. Cats are…     beautiful.

  15. Tomorrow is…     the day I get my teeth cleaned.

 16. I have a low tolerance …    for  nonsense

 17. If I had a million dollars… I would always fly first class!.

  18. I’m totally terrified …  of nothing.

 19. My children are…    both great people.

 20. My life is … quiet and that’s how I like it.

Today I called the dental office with two questions. The first was do I still need to take an antibiotic before having my teeth cleaned, The answer was yes and so I will pick it up at the drug store an hour before the appointment at 11 am tomorrow which is when I am supposed to take it.

The second question was about the x-rays that I was told I was scheduled to have. I was told this when I called to confirm the appointment.  I asked why I had to have these and what would it cost.   She could give me no reason except that I hadn’t had any for a while and they would cost around $125 in addition to the $80 plus it would cost to have my teeth cleaned. So, at that point I canceled the x-rays. If there is no good reason, why should I have them? I pay my dental bills myself so something that isn’t necessary is something I am not going to have. I have my teeth cleaned once a year and I have an electric toothbrush which  I use twice a day.

Yesterday I went to see the ophthalmologist and was told that the eye drops were keeping the glaucoma well in check and that my peripheral vision was very good. I was also given the less-cheerful news that my eyesight was not going to be improved by a new eyeglass prescription.  They would give me the prescription if I insisted, but that all I would be doing would be spending money for no improvement.   So, I will wait another year.

I ordered the KINDLE last night for my birthday. I wonder why you need antibiotics for a cleaning.

I was just watching a program on PBS about aging and eyesight and hearing and how the brain deals with things. It was very interesting, but I hated that some of it applied to me because I refuse to get older!

That font thing happens to me too; it’s very annoying.

I took antibiotics before dental work for years, but now I don’t. My dentist says the guidelines have changed. I agree – I think we are given too many X Rays. I didn’t have the guts to tell my dentist I wouldn’t. Good for you.

My husband has to take antibiotics before any dental cleaning or work due to rheumatic fever as a child. I didn’t know that you had to do the same. Good for you sticking up for yourself.

I like the Finish The Sentance!!!! I totally agree with you on the xrays. Why have it done if it doesn’t NEED to be done? More money in their pockets is all. Hugs,M

I can definitely see your point about the x-rays….why have them if there’s no reason? Gee! You could buy some new Kindle books with that money! :o) !! I giggled about you finding your lost keys in your purse…. I have found my lost spectacles in my hand a few times! :o) !! Of course I am going to do this, too…. hugs, Nicky

I’m with you on the xrays….if it ain’t broke? Don’t fix it!

RYN. Yes, I noticed the note on my calendar a few weeks back. I thought we were early this year, then I noticed that it said U.S. and we were three weeks later!

From what I know of my folks joint replacements, you will always have to take the antibiotic before you go to the dentist.. It’s preventative. Precautionary. Call it what you will, I guess. I don’t blame you for cancelling the x-rays. I’m really tired of Dr’s and Dentists trying to milk every cent they can out of me. Good for YOU! Loves to you! ~M

I’ve never heard of taking an antibiotic prior to a cleaning. My dentist always considered annual xrays as a preventative –to catch an possible decay or cavity as early as possible, often resulting in a form of cheaper restorative or repair work.
