GOOD on YA MOE !!!!

Stay STRONG you CAN DO IT -- you'll LIKE the NEW MOE

I've Been smoke free since 1975 -- used to do 2packs a day plus pipe and cigars too

Thanks. This is the 2nd or third time trying to quit this year, apparently I didn't try hard enough. Going to the gym really helps. Gonna ride the bike to the gym and hit the pool again after lunch.

I just sat down with an old couple who is spending this nice sunny day pre-planning their monument and funeral..but they're price shopping so no sale..70% chance one of our competitors undercuts our price to get the sale..oh well..

You get what you pay for!

Right now I'm about to try attempt #3 to get this really wacky patient of my currently on vacation partner out of one of my treatment rooms. I've already basically said, "good bye" and "call us if they're any problems" and "we'll see you at your next cleaning in November" twice now, and this person is just rambling on and on and on and on (normal behavior for them) :rolleyes: If these keeps up for much longer, I think one of my assistants whose in the treatment room with this person still, is going to need some serious therapy! :rolleyes: ;)

We have customers like that who just want to hang out..what I usually do to get rid of them is start talking about made up ailments..but sometimes that just encourages them..

That's always a fine line between them wanting to leave after hearing that or wanting to stay and talk about 10 other things they have going on :rolleyes:

Sounds like the kinda person that wants a refill of coffee in a restaurant after the kitchen closed at 10PM and the waiters are putting up the chairs.

Yup, great analogy there Moe. I'd get a bit more aggresive If I actually needed to use that room right now, but with my partner out on vacation this week I've got plenty of open chairs. I figure that I'll go "rescue" my assistant that's in there with "the talker" in a couple of minutes by asking her to get something for me when I'm working in a different room. It has been kind of funny though to watch as my assistant that's stuck in there has totally cleaned the room and practically sprayed down and wiped off "the talker" with the disinfectant solution we use for the rooms after each patient!

Kids are asleep in bed (YAY!), Brian's at the Nass RAW, so I'm sitting here by my lonesome waiting for the Pizza Hut delivery guy. Didn't feel like cooking and the kids ate oatmeal and scrambled eggs for dinner (which I don't like either of those). I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet, fresh air coming in from the kitchen screen door... loving these cool nights as we slip into fall.

That's a pretty generic name, I might if I saw a pic. I rarely watch local news except for an occasional weather report from Hurricane Schwartz whose been around forever.

Buddy of mine that I went to high school and lifeguarded with. Need to give him a buzz and paint Philly red, one of these days. He's on CBS.

Just finished putting some Minwax wood hardener ona section of trim on an old Dutch Colonial Barrel Vaulted entryway. Stuff is good but nasty to smell -- I figure i'll try it to see how it works rather than screw around trying to match up trim pieces -- sure hope that crap works !!

Heading to the course soon for 18 -- SUNNY-- 80's woo hoo ,

The Queen of the Hop and her tennis buddies are playing a doubles tournament today so maybe i can get in 27 who know s ?? ---

Just listening to a bunch of little kids in my waiting room throw a total hissy fit! Glad they WON'T be sitting in my chair in a few minutes!
