my Monday morning

Good Monday!
How bout' them Cowboys?!?!?!
I'm so highly disappointed about the Dallas Cowboys… for those of you who do not know, I'm a 20 plus year die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan.
After all the smack talk, and the royal butt kicking the Cowboys gave the Eagles twice back to back two weeks ago… I was OK in the Boys going to the playoffs, well come on, they have not been there in 13 years…
and they do this?!?!?!? good on them! this is the last time I will feel sorry and support any NFC East team (other than Philly) again!
** desists here are all about the money… not people's money but the government's money.
Dentists get 20% from people per visit, and 80% from the government, so that is why they give a person many fast visits rather than a couple long visits.
A routine check up/cleaning will take no less than 4 visits, at various cost, so they make out like bandits from the government!
and yes… outside of home, work and the occasional going out with friends, no body talks to me here in Japan…

Anubis (oO) but you both speak the same language…
GR in some cases you are correct…
Stickfodder I like that… I will try it!!!
harry some are just bigger than others….
lothar they just feel compelled to try… even when I speak Japanese to them, they still speak their bird English…
EEN I'm from NY, many on the planet seem to think that New Yorkers are the rudest people on the planet… they have never been to Japan…
Matt that would be my favorite part as well! Thanks!
Brogan (^U^)

Interesting change-up... A Corey comic instead of a Mel. Also interesting note about dentists getting money from the gov't... things that make you go hmmmmm...

It usually takes me 3 or 4 visits before I stop trying to bite the dentist's fingers off. My mouth is just trying to defend itself.

ugh, I hate going to the dentist ;0)

Huh, I didn't know that about Japanese dentists... my mom is a dental assistant, she'll find that interesting.
ghostrunner at 8:27AM, Jan. 18, 2010
yeah that chain smoking will do it :D

Staring people are creepy.

I loves me coffee too much.
Flup at 4:27AM, Jan. 18, 2010
It must be really annoying to have to keep returning for one checkup...

Have you seen any of the coffee comics by Yamakawa Naoto? I have two volumes translated into Korean, but I don't think there are English versions.

I'd heard about Dentistry in Japan and the multiple visits required of patients. I'd always wondered why, I figured that they just thought it was more efficient or something. Jeez, I hope that this whole socialized medicine mess doesn't produce similar results here on the home front. If they turn Dr. Draper's into the DMV, I swear, I'm moving to Mexico.

I consider myself very blue.

My dentist visits are always three or four visits, so they can fill cavities. -_-
Anubis at 10:06PM, Jan. 17, 2010
it helps the economy too
