Torture

I'm off to subject myself to untold torture this morning. I broke the corner of my tooth, so now I'll be dragged kicking and screaming to visit my lovely dentist. I know I sound like the biggest sook on earth, but that's not true at all. I'm the survivor of a hellish 30 hour labour, so I'm no stranger to a little pain and discomfort. But after a few bad childhood experiences at the hands of my old dentist, it's a phobia I haven't managed to conquer. Wish me luck. And let's hope he doesn't arrive looking like this joker, or I'll be out of there faster than you can say 'root canal'.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXtrIn7sFiigB8fzagTNFGW0wk7iC_y5m6G-UfGQSnbEWbYSiiJ2VYrrvWthkuyi2qHZn-in7n3uCrz6PkQ0eJSdHapslH676SVifZmmQ-dgIf14udEB-YdhYGLd-Qt8jImFuyArz25M/s1600/dentist-mask.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitXtrIn7sFiigB8fzagTNFGW0wk7iC_y5m6G-UfGQSnbEWbYSiiJ2VYrrvWthkuyi2qHZn-in7n3uCrz6PkQ0eJSdHapslH676SVifZmmQ-dgIf14udEB-YdhYGLd-Qt8jImFuyArz25M/s640/dentist-mask.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Not funny Mr Dentist, just plain creepy.</span></div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85794/shatay01/57292ae3db79c6d939a1f2a85508a076.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a>
