How long before we can nickname you Noah

Might be sooner than you think, the little git has gone out hunting again ! At this rate he’ll be dancing with the devil before the day is up

Don’t tell Mrs M I said that she’ll have me sent to hell as he’s her baby

You do realise it’s against the law to own a Tiger don’t you?

Our cat deciding to bring in not 1, not 2, but 3 presents today!

So far today I’ve had to clear up a bird and mouse from the hallway, and just minutes ago catch a mouse it brought in alive in the dining room that he was literally playing Cat and Mouse with! Where were my kids when this went on! Filming him playing thinking it was funny

Our cat used to bring in empty crisp packets. We’d trained her by giving her treats for every packet. She soon learned…

Crisp packets = treats
Mice etc = 0

As an aside, one did she did bring a new friend home. It was a ferret. French doors were open. In came the ferret with the cat. They played around the lounge till I caught the ferret. Turned out it belonged to a heartbroken young lad who lived out the back of us. I did the rounds knocking on doors till I found the right one. A few hours later he came round with his dad and a slab of beer for me… loved that cat

Years ago, I remember that dentists used to give you an anaesthetic injection then make you go back to the waiting room for half an hour to let it work properly before starting the procedure.

Now they seem to give you an injection, wait 2 minutes then ask if it's working.
No? Have another injection, wait 2 minutes then ask if it's working.
No? Have another, wait 2 minutes then start.

It's now nearly 4 hours since I was given the anaesthesia and I still can't feel half of my face.

I'm going to have to liquidise a cheese toastie in a minute so I don't pass out from hunger.

Half an hour?
That anaesthesia has muddled your memory.
Five minutes.

Nah. They definitely used to get another patient in for an appointment before calling you back in.

One time I went through the same. After the third attempt I can't remember if I was just bored and wanted to get on with it or whether I'd convinced myself it worked, I said that it had worked. The dentist started to do their stuff and the next thing I saw was 3 faces looking down at me. The jab had not worked after all and I had passed out with the pain of whatever they were doing .

With all the advances in medicine, those jabs are still as painful as they were 50 years ago, and still as hit and miss.

Yep. I generally feel like the first 2 injections are just to numb me for the 3rd one where they stick the needle in so far I can hear it scratching against my jawbone.

Ah I had a couple of injections in the back of my mouth, my cheek and tongue were numb. But to be honest the third really didn’t do much but the dentist got started. I think it was active but I was far more aware of everything and it wasn’t at all comfortable.. I felt like I had over participated throughout the whole process ..

A friend was terrified of dentists. He used to get an injection that spaced him out. They’d send him back to the waiting room for half an hour then lead him by the hand back into the ‘operating room.’ He’d then be given the analgesic and work would start.

Just don’t mention root canal work. Jeez, it feels like there’s a JCB in there!

Wish this was an option through our dentist at work! I’d rather be repeatedly punched in the face than let a dentist in my mouth.

But we have to have annual check ups through work and any work required is compulsory. I should t complain as it’s free but as I say I’d rather be slapped about

 

[upsidedown]

Wow you guys are really unlucky, my dentist says "just a small scratch " and 3 mins later it's dead..Had 2 front teeth out 4 weeks ago that had root canal 35 years ago and didn't even feel them coming out ,just " bite down on this " to stop the bleeding .

 

[backwoodsman]

Can't help but think folks are going to the wrong dentist? I was (still am?) terrified of dentists. Such that, I didnt go for about 40 years. Until I really, really, had to.

But, since then, I've had fillings, extractions, root canal work - all without any pain. A bit of discomfort from the wrestling, pulling etc, yes. But no pain. Quick jab and away we go.

Still hate it though.

I don't have a phobia; I just really dislike it.
And some people are more resistant to lidocaine than others. Not much fun when the dentist keeps starting work but having to stop and give you another injection because you're writhing in pain.
And why does he keep asking me, "Is it safe?"

Exactly the same it’s not a phobia and I’m not scared of it I just really dislike it and not a fan of having a load of things shoved in my mouth making me gag and some bloke then moaning at me for my gums bleeding when he’s just stabbed me with a stabby thing!

Isn't that all cats that think they are a big cat (one of ours struts around like he's one anyway).
My wife was talking to her friend last week and their cat brought in a large squirrel - how the hell do they get something like that through the cat flap. Apparently it was very lively but they managed to trap it in the cat carrier

I could feel them doing the laser eye surgery on my second eye, I'd take the dental work over that anyday.
