Dental friend Mary Beth guest blogs

By -



because she is a sport. Mary Beth the receptionist, and wife of my dentist!, diagnosed my jaw pain correctly this morning! She isn't a dentist, she says, but she likes to pretend to be. Official dental diagnosis: ? tooth torsion. Official Mary Beth diagnosis: stress. "Have you had any headaches recently Kath?"

"Well yes Mary Beth. It is unusual for me but I had a headache yesterday that lasted all afternoon and evening. "

"Ahhhhhh. And do you grind your teeth?"

"Well, yes again Mary Beth! I even caught myself doing it several times yesterday!"

"there's your jaw ache, honey. THe headache adds pressure to your whole head. My jaw aches then too. " Mary Beth says this with matter of fact certainty.

NO root canal for me! Yippee. IT is just the job.......occasionally......and infrequently, but sometimes, a bit of too much.

Mary Beth is holding my newest cowl project. Oh don't go looking too close. I'm trhilled with this pattern and yarn. THe yarn is Dream in Color in this woodsy brown. THe pattern is taking me places I have not gone in the big knit world. I'll have to showing you more of it, very soon when it is more beautiful.

Dentists. Mine is really great. HOw about yours?

I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I love my dentist. He always says that I have the nicest teeth and gums he's ever seen for someone my age! Is that a good thing?

Great news! I like my dentist a lot, and his wife does all the office and most of the assisting and she is really great. I love, love the color of your latest project.

My dentist is just fine as far as dentists go, but I am not really a fan of any of them. I am an anti-dentite. (remember that from Seinfeld?)

How funny! Google threw a dental ad above your blog! Guess they work off the content of the posts, LOL. Gorgeous colorway, smart dental friend! Hope you're feeling better and the headache is gone!

We know our dentist for more than 20 years already. He is a sweet man, and also caring for the kids. Johan needs to go back soon, to have a molar filled...right after his exams... Talking about reducing stress LOL!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
