They didn't yank my rotten teeth out, yeesh. Not yet anyway. I had a deep cleaning and they took care of one of my cavities at the dentist today. The damage? About a hundred and fifteen bucks. Thank Heavens for healthcare.

Surprisingly, the cleaning hurt more than the filling. The hygenist had to dig in between teeth to muck out the gunk. My mouth attracts gross things. I need to floss more and under the gumline. Good thing I was shown how to do exactly that. I love my dental office. They treat me well.

In other news, I finished reading Hating Women by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach last week. Everyone needs to read it. I wish I could find the words to give it full justice but take everything you know about women--images, media, myths, truths--and forget you ever thought that way. We're hard-pressed to find positive female images anywhere without some tainting of minor disrespect of women as a whole. Little things we think nothing of contribute to this. I'm rambling but read this book.
