Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Good morning pond! 26° and yucky out. Everything is icy but not too bad down here. We had no trouble getting from my parent's house to DS's Dr. He'll be going back for his surgery soon. I'm a bit concerned about heading home after. DH sent me this picture of our driveway...

They definitely got more ice up there than down here. Here, everything looks clear but we stepped out of the car in the parking lot and almost ice skated. I'm thankful I just got new tires!

We got a little more than that. Slick as snot.
I woke up around 3:30am, looked out the door and SLUSH was falling from the sky! It has turned to snow now, but pretty light. I think I’ll just stay home.
 
We made it home safe earlier. They had the majority of the roads home heavily salted so we didn't have much trouble. The hardest part was the last 3 mile stretch but we made it fine. DS seems to be recovering well. He ate some pudding, ice cream and juice since he's been home and now he's in his room, playing video games. I may have to actually force him to ice his face.
 
Morning Pond live goes on they say so far they are right.
Theres something wrong with the new crown I just got last year. :hitI blame the terrible caramel/cheddar popcorn DH bought from Costco with the break your teeth, rock hard kernels.

Sooo I’m going to a new, NEW Dentist tomorrow. Well, he’s new to me. My kids have been going to him for a little over a year & he seems pretty great. Fingers crossed! :fl:fl
Am very Happy I take my denture out hand it over :bow
 
So I like the new dentist so far. You gotta love it when someone looks at your xrays & says, “Who the heck did this root canal?”🤦‍♀️

He topped it off with, “This is the cheapest type of crown you can make. They’re only meant to last 1-5yrs tops”

The rub with that is that last years Dentist said since I couldn’t afford the expensive crown he would charge me for the cheaper one & eat the difference himself. He said this was a bad spot to work in & he’d eat the difference just to keep from going back there again. One year later & it turns out the whole thing was a crap job. The older I get the more I realize you can not trust anyone, ever.

Not to be a cynic, but how do you ever know what they’re really doing in there?

I prefer not to know what they’re doing. I need to be gassed just to clean my teeth with the power tools. (However, my current hygienist is willing to clean them manually, and has saved us both much angst the past couple of cleanings.) For fillings and crowns, I put my earbuds in, crank up my music and close my eyes. My dentist knows to gas me till I float and give me enough Novocain to numb my whole head. He’s going to have to knock me in the head if I ever need a root canal.

I have told him that he doesn’t get to retire until I’m dead, and my grandma lived to be 102, so he’s got a ways to go.

Room, I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.
