ouch, ouch, ouch

finally got to the dentist today for my check-up, seven months late. he has determined i have "delicate gums," which i believe is the nice way of saying "flinches and bleeds a lot."

oh well, at least there's some part of me that has been deemed delicate. kind of reminds me of the late molly ivins, newspaper columnist and author extraordinaire, writing how she went to the spa and they told her she had "a fabulous space between her eyes."
