A Short List

1. Leaving for Ireland Saturday.
2. I need a root canal.
3. Putting-down my 17-year-old cat Alice
this afternoon: suddenly blind, deaf
and having seizures.
4. My sons have grown up to be tender
and sensitive men.

    3. Very sorry.
    4. I'm not surprised.

  2. Thank-you, Bob! This would be root canal #5 (or 6) for me...not a problem except I'm leaving the country in two days. My dentist said,
    "oh, you're not going to a third world country, so you should be okay getting it done in Ireland."

    Hmmph. Some vacation.

    See you soon!

  5. Have a wonderful time. Dear Alice, what a life she had! Sorry she's gone, know how you feel.

    If you get a toothache, concentrate on your big toe - it helps!

  9. Oh,dear. Did your dentist start the procedure, do anything at all to relieve your pain? I wouldn't relish a transatlantic flight with a toothache to add to the general misery.


    Very sorry about your cat.

    All the aforesaid notwithstanding (I'm practicing legalese), Bon Voyage.
