People behave as do sheep, who follow the leader without thinking. Or reading. We all know that, though they should, sheep don't read...but I digress.

Most of the people giving you the dirty eye are ignorant of the rules, due imho to their tendency not to want to live by rules but instead however the hell they want. So, most of them didn't read the signs. You are apparently unlike most (you godless bastard).

If they were to read the rules - which ironically do not impose restrictions but unleash freedoms! - then, not only would they not evil-eye you, they'd have time to think of doing so since they'd be too busy enjoying life. Except for the cost of gas. Or petrol.

BTW, wth is a "forecourt"? I'm just kidding. No, really...?

It's our common language dividing us again, it's what we English call the paved open area in front of a filling station or any building.

My whine......I went to the dentist for a cleaning today. I ended up with three fillings. And I didn't even have any cavities.

I understand exactly what she means because it's been happening to me over the past few years. Fillings I got when I was a teenager are old and once in a while one of them develops a crack. If you don't replace the filling with a new one, you'll have big dental problems down the line.

And another thing (which I forgot about earlier). They (my dentist's) told me that many of the older fillings actually could leech mercury which of course is bad for your system. Apparently it was used as an amalgam (?) back in the old days or dark ages - somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

Why do people love to complain, rather than be happy with life?

Why does everyone like to share misery rather than share a smile and encouragement?

Why cry 'woe is me' instead of making the best of what you have?

Why waste your life worrying and complaining instead of changing what you can, and enjoying the life you have?

......I could go on and on, but you get the point. Life is entirely too short. We should enjoy it while we can.

Oh, Sundrop.. You should change your name to Sunshine. =D Why does my knees hurt so much after a game of floorball? But on the positive side... I am still playing after 30 years of games and enjoying it even if i'm not as fast as i used to be. But i'm still as happy when the team scores and as angry (on myself) when i misses an open oppurtunity to score. Oh, by the way... I also like the beers we sometimes take after the game in the nearest pub. See I tried to be positive. =D

I believe that some individuals find some common chores or responsibilities much more difficult to deal with than most other people do. I identify with what Claire and Scott have said. I tend to always get a little anxious before going to work. I've been this way for a long time, and the degree of discomfort is proportional to the job and it's content of stress. Sometimes the same job can be expected to be more stressful on a given day. Returning to work from vacation has usually been a drag for me, especially since I've grown old enough to value by far my leisure time over the benefits from performing work responsibilities, whatever they might be.

I tend to be this way too, even though I really do love teaching. Every Sunday night I kind of get the blues thinking about my two free weekend days being over.
'Course, right now, I'm on summer break, so I'm LOVING it!!!!!

This evening I return to work after having Mon-Fri off, since I work only weekends at this time. I'm not exactly looking forward to it, and simply remind myself of why I do it - $$$ to live on. My negative feelings become a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy; they make matters worse, they actually cause the things which I fear will happen to happen. Doc gave me a script for an anti-anxiety med, which tends to help some, though I hafta take half a pill since it makes me drowsy and I work overnight 12hrs. A long shift makes it worse for me. If I could find a 3-11p job, I'd do that gladly, depending on the case. I like this case, though, and the family involved. So, that reminds me why I'm doing it, too. I guess I'm simply saying what so many do about their jobs.

Blunt - what you do is important and continuing to work is also important for you. You have lots of training and a special set of skills, being a practical nurse! So just go in there and be glad as these people obviously need you :angel::cheerful:

My fillings with no cavities...

I could feel a hole. I thought it was filling that had come loose, but the filling is fine. I actually figured it was because, after a month with this hole, there was no pain, and the filling still did not feel loose. It turned out I chipped the tooth, right beside a filling. So, I bit of white filling to fill that hole.

Then, two separate teeth the gum was pulling back and exposing the root. So, they needed to be covered to prevent cavities.
