well. i did see the thread but did not get involved. i empathize totally with boo, she was not frightened by going to the dentist, but is in fact phobic, a big difference,..............will sqad be back >? id be very surpeised if he does not. but imo the Site Rules are changed on a regular basis. depending on ( who is around ) i repeat only my opinion.
Does it really matter Anne? Rules changing, people flouncing, debates such as this - it's what AB has always been about. The trolls seem to be locked up now though.
AB is always a bit of light relief and there are some great people on here. ;o)
Sqad won't be able to keep away. Even if he doesn't post for a bit he will be sitting there in his study (probably in the nude) surveying the scene :o)
I missed all this and I don't want to get involved.
However BOO, I'm a big, ugly chap over six feet tall - and I'm still scared of the dentist! I think many adults are still traumatised by the butchers that were around when we were kids. I remember being drilled and having fillings without anaesthetic! When the dentist hit a nerve he just shouted that he hadn't hurt me.
I must say my current dentist is very good and understanding. He sits me on the couch and explains what he is going to do then tells me he'll only do it when I'm ready etc.
I don't know what Sqad said BOO but don't be ashamed of being nervous of the dentist.
