I need to renew the supply of this.
I’m having the very last from the tin in the shape of liquid comfort, as Husband committed the ultimate betrayal: He forced me to go to the dentist. Haven’t been in years and years and I was scared out of my wits while there. (Yoga breathing turned out to be unexpectedly helpful with that. Dentist gave me lots of praise for that. Handy tip, Steepsterites!) However, I only had one hole that needed fixing though (more praise from Dentist that this was all after some 10-ish years or so), and I opted to get that overwith straight away rather than go through all the nervous tension again in a couple of weeks. So, numb face. Rinsing was almost impossible when I couldn’t fully control half my upper lip. Miracle I didn’t spill down myself.
My face is almost woken up now, so I can have my reward. And the choice is obvious, really, isn’t it?
Remind me to stop in at Fru P tomorrow on the way home. (I would have done the other day when AC Perchs once again let me down, as I was badly in need of some comfort. Fru P is a really sweet lady. I remember liking her immediately when she first opened. She lets me buy 50g and I expect she would let me have a sample as well, as I seem to recall having heard her offer that to someone else. Shame I’ve been a bit meh on most of the other teas I’ve bought there, though. Oh well, lots still to try!

I want to try this!!
What, the dentistry? Can’t really recommend it. ;p
Seriously though, I don’t mind a swap once I’ve stocked up on it again, which hopefully is tomorrow but realistically… Tell you what, I’ll shoot you a pm once I’ve got some more, yes?
That would be so so wonderful of you. And I’d be happy to share the vast quantity of tea I’ve amassed as well :).
I never understood the fear of the dentist thing. I actually want to go, but I have no money! haha. I guess I’m just lucky that Ive never had a cavity, never worn braces, and never had a tooth pulled (yep, I still got all the extra wisdom lingering in the back). So, maybe that’s why I have no fear. ;)
It’s scary because it’s unpleasant and there’s always the worry that something painful needs to be done. On top of that when you are in the chair with your mouthful of instruments and fingers, you are completely at the dentist’s mercy. Many people find that combination very unpleasant. I’ve never had any teeth pulled either, and as it turns out only three of them has even shown up at all. I have had holes and braces though, although my brace was the sort that you could take out at night and while sleeping. (Lost it twice too). I think my fear stems from the school dentist when I was a child. I didn’t like him. He wasn’t mean at all, but he wasn’t particularly gentle either and didn’t really pay attention to whether or not the children were scared. This dentist that I saw today was very clear that I could stop her whenever I wished and I could have a break, and constantly keeping an eye on how I was handling it, especially during my one moment of borderline panic.
Keychange, remind me if I forget.
I hate the dentist because I worry about something painful (which is always not as bad as I think it will be) but also that he will tell me terrible news. Oh and I HATE the feeling of the hygenist scraping off the scale/knicking my gums etc.
Yoga breathing does help, I noticed that before, its awesome! oh and my dentist will knock me out with gas if I insist. and I take rescue remedy. Yes I am a stress case LOL
I have bad teeth. Always have had. I have spent tens of thousands to keep things at bay and looking decent. This year alone I dropped 10k on oral surgery and a bridge and gosh, I’m young, so there’s lots of room to spend more in the many years to come. So yah, hate it.
meh, it would be a nuisance if I had to go frequently, but I don’t have the fear (my husband has it though!). I was raised to be tough. Lol. I was carrying my own baby bag and falling down icy hills with it when I was 2 or 3 and discipline in my house was army style (pushups, etc. . .not kidding). Im a real trooper! There are scarier thing out there for me than a dentist. :p
