There's always something wrong with ours and I am forever exchanging the sets in various rooms, so I have at least one working landline phone in the kitchen where it's needed most.

We seem to be on the same track lately. If you say you are having back issues and seeing specialist this week I am going to freak out. As for phones...I had to get a new cell phone after I dropped my old phone in the toilet. I wanted the exact same model. Do you think I could get it? No way. So, now I have a phone I don't understand and feel like throwing into the toilet. No can do, however as I can't waste more $$. Dianne From dentists to phones. We seem to be on the same track lately.

I'm old enough to remember the days when going to the dentist was an ordeal. Nowadays, the painkilling, numbing procedures take all the horror out of it.

I too am going through dental visits so I can commiserate. Good news yesterday, the nerve in the offending tooth is alive, so although I now have a new crown, no root canal this time.

The mere word dentist sends shivers down my spine, so I know just how you must be looking forward to yet another confrontation with "the enemy". When I worked in Holborn I used to have a dentist in Drury Lane. He was tall, good-looking immaculately turned out, wore protective safety spec's when he was working. (a suggestion here for your dentist); he also wore a protective mask over his mouth. This I always assumed was for protection against any potential infection from his patients, however, when he removed the mask I was practically felled by his breath. He had the worst halitosis I've ever encountered. This did nothing to dispel my fear, but at least reduced dentists in general to 'mere human' status in my eyes. I can think of endless ways you can mentally visualise your dentist, (not all of them repeatable), but don't know whether it would help. For what it is worth Freda, you have my full sympathy.

I too am suffering at the hands of a very nice dentist - I have great admiration for those who follow this profession, especially the compassionate ones.
