Hartz.....Perhaps you can call your dentist and explain the situation.


I don't have a dentist yet. I had tried using the University student dental clinic, but it didn't work out. I wanted to join this discount plan, but even that is somewhat expensive. I am going to check out special loans for dental work.

I also hate mouth sounds...my own or my BF, (the only other person I eat around. I don't mind his crunching unless I am trying to watch TV...that drives me nuts because of APD. What I really hate is "wet mouth noises"...yuck. Irrational but I just can not stand that sound. I was so self concious of my own eating noises when I was a kid that I refused to eat around peers in Jr High, High School and even at my prom (yes, someone did ask me to prom...they thought they were gettign laid...HA)...On the up-side...it kept me thin and I was a pretty cheap date :wink:


Ugh! Me too. I was listening to NPR news the other day, and I could hear the announcer's mouth working, if that makes sense. Wet noises make me crazy. I had to turn it off. When my cat licks herself, I have to leave the room, or chase her away.

I have to agree, Krex. I nearly lost my temper. It was reading Merle's reasonable responses that inspired me to calm down. I literally wanted to smack this person! :x I always wonder why people like that post in a thread, if they don't agree with or relate to it.

somehow I knew if I ranted back, he wouldn't have 'gotten' it.
I knew I had gotten though to him when he blamed ME for the misunderstanding, (blamed the victim,) and backed off. Sometimes you gotta take the street to the people if the people don't take to the street, ya' know?

Dedicated to BlessedMom:

THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.

Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.

There is no fast food.

Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, and complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.

In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.

Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time.

Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.

He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care.

He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.

Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.

The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.

The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn himself with jewelry, wear <STRONG>uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polishedand eyebrows groomed.

During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.

They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a s similar setting.

They will need to read a book each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am.

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name. Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.

The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right To be called Mother!

After you get done laughing, send this to as many females as you
think will get a kick out of it and as many men as you think can
handle it. Just don't send it back to me.... I'm going to bed.

*snork* I'd LOVE to see that one on TV. I really, really would. The sequel could include all of the above, but throw in holding down a full-time job outside the home as well. While being a single parent.

[long list of impossible expectations]

No mere mortal could be expected to do all that. I mean really. It would be totally unreasonable to ask that of anyone.

Umm....
