I was supposed to go on a vacation to the beach today, but instead I’m getting a root canal. Since I’m going to be busy, being tortured at the dentist’s office, I decided to steal someone else’s post and reblog it on my blog. Thank you Carolyn!
When Jason wrote a story about a town named Bittersweet Creek with some crazy characters who lived there, I think he expected it to just be a one time story, but … the characters live on. I write about them and he chimes in with more stories and now Tippy from https://unicorniks.com/2021/12/08/the-western-union-war/ surprised me with his story about Bittersweet Creek, and more importantly about Mr. Tippner. He seems to relate to him very well, all fiction has some truth in it, right? Enjoy the story! I did, even if I did …”smack my head”… at some parts.
It was a balmy Monday morning at Bittersweet Creek. Mr. Tippner, from Tippner’s Bike Shop, was strolling down the sidewalk, hands in pockets, whistling a tune, and feeling in fine fettle. He stepped on a crack, then tripped over an uneven edge and nearly fell on his face, but managed to maintain…

Hope all goes well today and that your dentist isn’t holding a grudge against you!

You never know there may be someone filling in for your dentist today! Wouldn’t that be hilarious if that happened and her name was Della? I think I would run. 😂

Hoping no scenes from Marathon Man. And unless you wear polyester, I’d avoid grape juice for awhile.

I’ve never seen Marathon Man, so I looked up that scene on YouTube. Damn, I sure hope like hell it will be safe.
Grape juice? Why avoid grape juice? I’m wearing cotton.

After reading the story, for some reason I recalled that scene from the film.
I don’t feel much dental pain, and tend to over-react to the anesthetic. So I always spend the rest of the day spilling whatever I’m trying to drink over a numb lip and onto my shirts. Don’t wear anything you like.

Let’s hope they don’t make a mistake and give you the agony gas instead of the laughing gas. The canisters do look alike.

The dentist generally SUCKS – primarily in the root canal department. However, I can say the last time I got a root canal, I found a $100 bill in the parking lot right after my appointment. Maybe they aren’t that bad after all. Hope it went ok for you.

That must have been nice. I didn’t find any C-notes in the parking lot. And it sucked. Literally. They keep sticking a vacuum cleaner in my mouth to suck away the spit, blood, and gore.
Thanks for your well wishes. This took a lot out of me, so I’m taking the rest of the day off.

Thank you. I hope you’re feeling better. My mouth has been feeling like the cat crept in, crapped, then crept out. But I’m gradually feeling better, so there’s hope.
If I had gone to the beach I would have drowned myself.

Is it really, Mrs. I’ve Never Had A Cavity? One of these days your old age will catch up with you, and you’ll have a root canal. And then you’ll realize that you’d rather drown in a canal, than have a root canal.
