The Lake House

I've not made time for the dizzy clinic, Hops. I'll do that, at some point, and not feel bad for waiting.

Hopalong:
No feeling bad! I have a whole list (teeth, eyes, ears, skin) of checks I need to get done. Tedious. Especially to find a new dentist. My long-term clinic (university based) had some retirements and short staffing to cope with so I was just assigned a new dentist, and after two meetings I don't want him. Nothing nefarious, he just has zero chairside manners and I confess I need to be greeted like a person, not a mouth. He's in such a rush that I can barely grasp the procedure as he dashes off to the Next Thing. He actually dashes behind the chair the second he comes in without eye contact or a convincing hello. I'm sure he has reasons, just doesn't work w/me.
I asked for a transfer to a more seasonsed dentist in the same practice and the manager (via receptionist) said I'm not allowed. I have to see him or nobody. I didn't like that, so emailed the chairman my polite confusion. I thought 2nd opinions (about a long and expensive rebuild of a bridge, with another tooth sacrifice) were a respected part of medicine? Pfftt. I never really blame staff or doctors though, just the situation.

Lordy, Hops.....trust in a dentist is important!
I go to a practice where the hygienist treats me like a child...... exactly what I look for. Gentle, kind and funny. I guess I take whichever dentist is available....I think I've seen 2 so far. It seems unreasonable to force you into seeing one, of many, dental practitioners, IME.
Good luck finding a better fit. You shouldn't feel forced. Hope the bridge works out soon.

I'm having fun discussing possible wedding event with bride for this summer at the lake.
I love making moss and fern table and chandelier arrangements. I love planning the food, tables, chairs and logistics.....making things special....making them work. This would be an alcohol free event, so more appealing to us.
The lake property is paused on the Airbnb site. Something had to give and we're heading into tree planting time....heavy equipment and lots of noise and mess.
Will go there soon and make big fires in the living room. Plot out tables for 70 and price out rentals vs purchasing.
I hope the tiny thin ferns grow back at the RR ties.

OOO... that does sound like fun Lighter! Spring wedding? June?
Maybe "events" would be the best use of the lake house? Does AirBnb let you choose a category like this?
