You've encouraged a generation of dental skeptics and scores of village pub dreamers with one post ... but I'm a bit worried a dildo-less "trolley" is going to show up from Germany.
I think the good news in all of this is that you are still cavity-free - a magnificent feat! I was in my 30s before I started having problems, and since then I've had multiple root canals, crowns, and two implants, mainly due to grinding my teeth in my sleep...
Oh Jill, I LOVED every word - and laughed the whole way through. Hurrah for the Fundbüro! 🙌
You've done an AWESOME job with your looking after your teeth! When I was a child and first started going to the dentist my parents promised my brother and me that they would pay us each £25 (an absolute fortune at the time!) IF we reached the age of 25 without a single filling. My brother made it to 24... and I was 23 when I had my first. I was gutted not to have won the bounty - neither of us did - but I reckon 23 and 24 wasn't too awful an age to have been drilled for the first time.
Thanks Rebecca ❤️ sounds like someone owes me £38.... still dodging the drill for the moment (she says, around a mouthful of chocolate Guinness cake). ☺️
I wouldn’t in a million years wade into even a vague discussion of “which experts are legitimate” or whatever, but: one of my close pals is a dentist, and he’s emphatic that the field is almost entirely unreliable, “fake,” etc.
It's pretty wild that, if I had just (not) kept my mouth shut, she would have drilled my perfect tooth..... I'll be seeing to my own dental needs from now on. ⚒️
Your suitcaaaaase!! YOUR DILDO!!! I don't mind admitting that more than once has my mind drifted to your long lost dildo and what fate had befallen him, always hoping for something bohemian and fascinating--but he's been tucked up, biding his time, and is soon to return home 🥹 I, too, shed a little tear of happiness. Congrats, my love. Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for whatever goodness might be brewing around the pub 🤞
yay about the suitcase! And the dentist. I got a filling from a new dentist after I moved from home after college. I was skeptical and said nothing. Years later, I return to the dentist I have had since I was a teenager, and he scoffed. "You always have had crevices in your crowns that look like they can become cavities, but I think you got that filling for nothing." I haven't had a cavity in the 20 years since. So be skeptical.
My brother-in-law was just talking about how he went to one dentist that said he needed 6 fillings and another that said he needed none. Also learned that in Korea, you wouldn't go to get glasses anywhere that took more than 30 minutes.
It's cool that professional medical care in the US is basically a shell game...I wonder why.
In hockey terms, a Hat trick! Thanks for sharing good news. I think we can all relate to the dentist and lost luggage found triumphs and the better to be expected pub meeting.
My son and I once lost a bag with a hat and a shirt on the DisneyWorld monorail. As a lark the next day, we went to the lost and found with zero expectations. The man at the desk heard our scant details and returned in a minute with our bag. We thought it was a miracle, and it became a highlight of our trip.
Serendipitous in the extreme! Also a nice thought that what I assumed was a thief taking my bag (to cavort with its contents, your immortal words) was just some other confused human, like me. Bless them for handing it back in

I know, I’ve jinxed it haven’t I. Don’t count your dildos.... 🙇🏻♀️
That's funny
Ha ha ha!

Eeee I grind my teeth too apparently so I’m sure my days are numbered 🙈🙈 us overthinkers...
Get a nightguard, if you don't already have one - my problem has been with cracked teeth, rather than cavities... 😬
I have one I just hate to wear it 🙈🙈 but ok you’ve convinced me. The phrase “cracked teeth” is pretty visceral 😳😓
I am a walking cautionary tale... 😉 I sent you a follow-up email btw
On it!!
Dang, that's rough

Brava on challenging the dentist, brava on possible good news re the pub, and brava on the return of the prodigal suitcase!!
The prodigal suitcase 😅😂

The moral of the story is to floss before the dentist visit, no?
And never give up hope for your lost dildo.
Has it returned to its owner?
Safe and sound
That was not the note I was expecting to end on, but congratulations-and-I’m-so-happy-for-you on the whole lot! 🤣😭
🤣💪 it only took three months. So glad you enjoyed it Sydney ❤️

**Jill’s dildo’s coming ho-o-o-ome, Lord, he’s been off in Deutschland for so looooong**
- to the tune of Thomas Jefferson’s coming home (Hamilton)
💃🏻❤️🔥

I’m so sorry Thomas that’s awful. 😞 Sceptical I shall remain. Counting the minutes until the suitcase is home, unexpected deliverance! 🤩
Hooray for hope!

More than 30 minutes....? 🤷🏻♀️
A co-worker told me this is what it is like to get glasses in Korea and it blew my mind. https://www.tiktok.com/@stellanspice/video/7159359167772233003?lang=en
