Something is going on in my mouth. Bad things. I would rather other bad things be in my mouth rather than the latex-gloved hands of a middle-aged dentist that stares too long, but I digress. But seriously, I cannot get that latex taste out of my mouth all morning. Blech.
My hygienist, invading all personal boundaries, asked about husbands, boyfriends, children, pets… All to which, I rather joyfully exclaimed, “SINGLE!” Of course, being around my same age, she has the PERFECT man for me: a gorgeous, blue-eyed divorced firefighter with two children who apparently has women that THROW THEMSELVES at him in bars and the like. Is this considered a “catch” at my age?
Seriously. This is how my life has progressed — being set up on a blind date from my dental hygienist, who, by the way, I only met for the first time this morning.
Unless he plans to cover my $3000 upcoming dental bill, I would rather have a better taste in my mouth.

ME too. I mean, I just got back from the dentist.
You have to watch what you say. They have sharp tools in your mouth.

3 grand!!!!! What do you need done?

A couple crowns and also replacement of four or five old fillings from my pre-teen days.
Apparently, my old dentist was a hack, and didn’t warn me that my old silver fillings were leaking… would have been nice because I had better insurance then. My individual dental coverage has a 12-month waiting period for certain procedures (as the ones I need), and I can’t wait 7 more months to have the work done.
Goodbye, vacation. *sigh*

Am I the only one who would hear her say, “Red-flagged red-flag with two red-flags.”
I hope not.

I don’t think I would want my dental hygenist taking that much interest in my dating life.

I don’t know, Mel. Sounds like a pretty compelling “founding myth” for your pending relationship with bar-stud/firefighter dude. Or not. Probably the latter.

I ♥ firefighters that are sexy. Even though she really went over the personal boundary, I would give it a shot just for fun. Ride the big red truck!
