Interestingly prior to the new contract my dentist wanted to see me every 6 months now it would seem she wants to see me every 3 months for a "clean and polish" Given that she is a very pretty little blonde it would be nice to think she is after me for my body but the more practical and cynical me thinks its a way to increase her income !"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."
