It turns out that The Curmudgeon is a sensitive old guy and has to use special toothpaste.
Maybe Robert needs to use Sensodyne too?
I went to reread Robert's post about being vulnerable, but it seems to have gone. Maybe his latest thinking is, "Be a bit of a bastard."
All I could find, on his blog, that looked new, was the ten commandments.
"The ten commandments
1. I am the LORD your God. You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve. 2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. 3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day. 4. Honor your father and your mother. 5. You shall not kill. 6. You shall not commit adultery. 7. You shall not steal. 8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 9. You shall not covet your neighbors wife. 10. You shall not covet your neighbors goods."
The first thing I noticed was the American spelling (neighbor, honor) and the lack of possessive apostrophes (neighbors goods, neighbors wife).
Maybe God is American?
As you probably already know, the first three commandments are about sucking up to God. Probably the two most logical commandments are telling you not to steal or kill. Did we really need number 10? Not stealing really covers that one. Again, number 9 is really covered by number 6. Number 8 sounds like an attempt to say, "Be nice to other people." Why doesn't it just say that?
Let me finish by saying, "If you didn't read Peter's or Robert's blog, you missed absolutely nothing."
Well, I suppose you'd know that TC has sensitive teeth and that God writes in American with no possessive apostrophes.

If you'e going to the dental clinic next week I hope that you get the crabby old nurse who smelled of mothballs.
Well, I won't be getting much change from $1300.

??
Root canal?
Crown?
That's a lot of money. Have you got AA Health insurance? You get $200 back if you have it - basically covers the cost of joining.
Sorry - dental is $450 a year rebate
The coverage cost for us both combined is about $600 a year.
With optometrist, physio, doctors etc claims we generally come out in credit.
Go for a kayak.

Been there - done that. It was marvellous.
You didn't feel too vulnerable in the kayak? Aren't there great whites in the harbour?
Not when there are orca.
I feel vulnerable now, which is good.
RBB
Gosh, comments are rolling in!

So you (TC) pay $600 per annum and are allowed $200 per visit to the dentist with a maximum of $450 per annum. I presume visits to other health care professionals have similar limits. For $50 a month it sounds worth it. What about private hospital stays?
If RBB was afraid of being vulnerable he wouldn't play his fiddle on stage . So being vulnerable works!
We have Southern Cross insurance that covers the big stuff so I’m not sure what AA does.
I suggest checking it out on AA health website. For us it works out as a net saving. I’m sure it would be the same with you.
Typical Catholic circular logic.
