Sign Language For The Dentist
You know how hard it is to talk to your dentist when your teeth are being cleaned or you are getting a filling? Well, I decided I would make up a sort of sign language that you could use to express yourself without having to mumble. Below are 10 common things you might wish to say, numbered 1-10. These would be printed on a poster and mounted on the ceiling above the dentist chair. It would give you something to read since procedures can be boring. When a phrase seems appropriate, you would just hold up the corresponding number of fingers to express yourself. The dentist would not need to stop to ask you to repeat yourself and could fix the problem right away.
1. Everything is fine, but my nose itches.
2. When you get a chance, there seems to be spit running down my neck.
3. So, I guess you had garlic again for lunch today?
4. You realize that wasn't my tooth that you just poked with that incredibly sharp tool.
5. I would REALLY prefer you didn't do that again.
6. Could you please suction the chunk of debris that you missed before I gag?
7. Remember how I said I was numb? I think I may have been mistaken.
8. Wait a minute -- maybe I am allergic to latex.
9. Just so you know, if I don't get to take a break soon, I may bite you.
10. Please stop asking me stupid questions about myself or I will take that paper mask off your face.

GOOD MORNING !
As I’m going to the dentist tomorrow , this little list seemed appropriate right now. I must add too, that I don’t like going to the dentist at all and wouldn’t if my teeth weren’t so necessary.
It’s Over the Hump day and I’m glad of it. Now we have the downhill slide to the weekend.
It’s supposed to rain here for the next 4 days..or at least we have a chance of it each of the next 4. After the dry and hot summer we’ve had so far it will be a welcome sight.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
It's important that people should know what you stand for.
It's equally important that they know what you won't stand for.

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart
