I forgot I have a dentist appt today after work. Cleaning only as far as I know.
Miss the dentist I had as a kid was a great guy.I forgot I have a dentist appt today after work. Cleaning only as far as I know.
I have a sister who worked in a dentist office , so I to was made to love the dentistI love dental appointments. At least most of my patients say that. Not really, but I have to think that or I would get depressed.
My dentist is a young guy that took over the practice of my old dentist. both were great and want to make sure there is no pain during or after. If you are like that then your patients will be happy to see you. Now the guy I went to as a kid made me afraid. I remember one time I flinched and he grunted the words Whats the matter that dont hurt and quit being a sissy. I hated that guy and you could hear other kids scream sometimes. He also played Neil Diamond all the time on the speakers.I love dental appointments. At least most of my patients say that. Not really, but I have to think that or I would get depressed.

Need some bodywork and paint on your car?For the last 30 years I have fought against the reputation that dentistry always hurts people. I like to think that I have done that well. 135 google reviews, 4.9 stars (can't please them all). 1,187 likes on facebook.
When you guys come here for a visit I'll take you there. Worth the trip.I haven't crossed their threshold in years, same as McD's can't stomach their food. We would rather have a pita now. We go to one here in town, they are amazing and so fresh and they are huge. My wife and I split one and we're full when done.
My father in law is 84 and rides his bike 5 miles once a week. Not like what your doing but pretty good for an old man. Good to teach the young kids some good old fashion exercise.Me and the boy went on a little excircise trip today
With everything being canceled during the scamdemic, he's put on a few pounds, and I know his dad was a real poroer at his age, so off we went
Rode our bikes to the park (3 mile round trip) and did one loop at the park
The loop takes about half an hour, but includes 455 stair steps (luckily, over half of those go down)
The idea is to expand on this little by little and do it about every other day
You got to be really careful, because the loop at the park starts with the stairs,but it circles around, almost like a snail shell
So if you don't pay attention you end up walking the same loop several times

After the virus thing is over I'll take you up on that my friend.When you guys come here for a visit I'll take you there. Worth the trip.
That's so much like "The Cup and Saucer Trail" on Manitoulin Island Ontario. Only this trail doesn't have many stairs to climb but they sure do have a lot of rock to climb. Diane and I were 65 when we first did it with my son's family and we did really well. Did it again two years later wasn't so easy. But the view at the top was fantastic and worth the effort. Some areas are very slippery and you have to hold onto ropes so you don't slip and get hurt.Me and the boy went on a little excircise trip today

Same here always on a bike and peddled everywhere. Glad you show interest in a young child wish more guys did that.it is great exercise (very light cardio, if your on level ground)
me and the wife were discussing the boys weight and i mentioned to her i used to be chunky until i hit highschool
we didnt have school busses and i had to pedal 6 miles one way, 5 times a day
that knocked the pounds right off
(by the time im met the missus, i was 6 even and 175 pounds)
so i figured, no reason to wait for him to get there, might as well get started now

We all know why you wear a mask. So the patients can see you smiling behind it.I love dental appointments. At least most of my patients say that. Not really, but I have to think that or I would get depressed.

My first born I did the same and the older I got the harder it was and by the last one I was all but done with to much exercise after work.i kinda have to take an interest in this one...he my firstborn
I was joking with some other people that there was a gum tree ahead and you could get free gum. All I heard was "Oh That's Gross" We got a chuckle out of thatsounds like a blast
there was no need for ropes here (im guessing that wherever you would have ropes, they put in stairs)
there are a few sections where you can get high enough to actually get a great view of the lake
there are also some really nice biking trails we used to go on, i should take him back there once he gets a little in shape
What about the women? Anything Biff would like?Father in-law lives in Washington State nothing is flat there.
