lol...Good job Mike...When I was in my late teens my dentist used to always give me a hard time for drinking pop.  Everytime I went I heard the "Well decide now if you want to keep your teeth or not" speech.  One day I was in a bad mood when I went and when I got the lecture I replied "Look, I'm not going to stop drinking pop and I really don't want to hear this anymore, Ok?  He gave me a look like no one had ever dared talk to him that way before.  I don't think he liked it but he never gave me a hard time again.  lol.
Sorry for the rambling.  Your lecture comment just reminded me.

Yeah - you're what I'd call a "glass half full" kind of guy.  Or should I say "bottle half full" 'cause you dribbled the other half on your shirt?
Feel better soon!

Mike you're so right!  It's the best feeling in the world when you don't get the lecture since for so many years your doctors and dentists have been after you to quit smoking.  Now they treat you like a super hero when you tell them you've quit!  I'm still waiting for my dentist to reduce the cost of a cleaning since my teeth aren't stained from nicotine and tar any more!  I won't hold my breath though.

Way to go!  Feels wonderful not hearing 'the' lecture, doesn't it?  And your mouth will heal so much faster.  Hey...didn't that prescription have a sticker on the side that said "Alcohol may intensify effects"....Have a really good evening, Mike!
