You and Your

Smiles
are
Primping in the Mirror
and 'Cellie' to
get it exactly Right!
This
'Dental-Treatments-are-Out-Of-Reach-for-most-People'
Episode
is brought to you by a Waitress
serving some
Good Hot Food
to warm your Insides,
so that you can
enjoy this Blog more!
As with many
other things...
HSR seems to be
having problems
with
just getting out
of the Door in the Morning!...
Sooooo...
...what else is New!
Everyday has its own
Challenges and Roadblocks!...
But they can be
'Navigable!'
All of Us can seem to,
except for
HSR!...
Well, let's see
what he
has to navigate
this time!...
All I can say is
that he
'Met his Match'
last time,
in
OMGosh!...Dentist/Researcher Ralph Winge, D.D.S....
Performs...Secret CRISPR Experiment to...
Improve...Dental DNA...
But...Oh No!...Now ...A... Terrible...'Mouth Thing'...
...Is Happening!...
which is where,
HE IS
ACTUALLY BEHAVING HIMSELF
AS A STUDENT AT
USC DENTAL SCHOOL, AND
THE CLINIC IS BUSY AND
HUMMING ALONG, WITH
YOUNG DOCTORS TREATING PATIENTS
EVERYWHERE, AND
HSR IS FINISHING HIS PATIENT
AND
AFTER THE PATIENT LEAVES
AND THE AREA IS CLEANED UP,
ONE OF THE
ASSISTANTS SAYS.
"WELL, IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH NOW...
I'LL SEE YOU
IN AN HOUR!"
"OKAY," RESPONDS HSR...
WHO IS A LITTLE TIRED,
AND HE
DECIDES TO JUST LAY IN
THE DENTAL
CHAIR FOR A WHILE,
BUT...
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY,
AS SOON AS HIS HEAD
TOUCHES DOWN...
...HIS CONSCIOUS MIND
IS
'SWITCHED OFF!'
AND HE IS
NOW
AT THE
MERCY OF THE
'MYSTERIOUS
AND UNPREDICTABLE
DARK MATTER OF THE
SUBCONSCIOUS MIND!'
AND LATELY,
THAT 'SAME MIND'
HAS BEEN THROWING
'CRAZY CURVEBALLS'
HIS WAY!
BUT HE STARTS OUT,
THIS TIME, THINKING...
NOT JUST ABOUT
PRETTY SHIPS...
...BUT...
ABOUT...
...PIRATE
SHIPS!
THEN...
HIS DREAMY ATTENTION
GOES TO A
SPECIAL CASTLE
THAT HE HAS
NEVER
SEEN BEFORE
AND WHILE IN THERE
A WOMAN
SAYS TO HIM,
"FLEET COMMANDER REPORT,
THE AIR SHIP IS HERE
TO GIVE YOU A RIDE
TO THE PORT
FOR YOUR NEW SHIP!
AND...
...COME BACK AND
SEE ME
SOMETIME, OKAY!"
"OKAY," SAYS HSR...
SO,
AN AIRSHIP
PULLS UP NEXT TO THE
'CASTLE'
AND HE JUMPS IN
AND THEY FINALLY GET TO A
'SHIP SUPERMARKET
IN THE
SKY!'
AND...
AS
HE LOOKS AT
THE VARIOUS SHIPS, A
LADY SAILOR
COMES UP TO HIM
AND ASKS
HIM,
"HI THERE...SHALL I CALL YOU, 'CAPTAIN?'"
"HI THERE," RETURNS HSR, "SURE,
YOU CAN CALL ME CAPTAIN, BUT...
I DON'T HAVE A SHIP YET!...
AND THE LADY SAYS, " I CAN SHOW
YOU ONE THAT CAN DO
A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS,
BUT,
OTHER PEOPLE ARE
LOOKING AT IT TOO,
SO,
YOU
MAY HAVE TO ACT QUICKLY!"
SO THEY WALK
TO THE PLACE
THAT HAS THE
'SUPERIOR SHIP'...
...AND ...
"BOY...IS IT A BEAUTY!,"
SCREAMS HSR!
MEANWHILE,
ANOTHER SAILOR,
OFF TO THE SIDE,
WHO CAN'T TAKE
THE SHIP,
GIVES HSR
'THE EYE!'
SO, NOW...
CAPTAIN HSR
TAKES POSSESSION OF
THE SHIP,
AND HE ASKS THE LADY IF SHE CAN
SAIL WITH HIM, AND
BE THE 'FIRST MATE!'...
AND SHE SAYS,
"SURE, BUT...
I'D LIKE TO BRING A COUPLE
OF OTHER FOLK TO
HELP YOU SAIL...
...AND...
I'D LIKE TO GET AN
'HONEST PERCENTAGE'
OF ANY GOLD AND
VALUABLES THAT WE FIND!"
"THAT ONLY SOUNDS FAIR!" SAY HSR.
AND
AFTER A LITTLE WHILE
THE SHIP AND CREW ARE
READY TO SET SAIL!
AND BOY...DO
THEY LOOK
GOOD!
AND THEY CUT
A NICE FIGURE
ABOVE THE
CLOUDS!
BUT...AS THEY LEAVE...
...AN
ADMIRER
SEEMS TO BE SAD THAT
HE IS GONE FOR NOW!...
SO,
AFTER THEY SET SAIL,
EVERYTHING'S GOING
ALONG PRETTY NICELY,
AND ADMIRAL HSR
IS ENJOYING A
NICE MEAL IN
HIS SHIP'S CABIN!
NOW,
THE SHIP'S COOK
TELLS THE CAPTAIN
THAT HE MISSES
HIS
'HOME TOWN,' AND THAT
ONE DAY,
HE WANTS HIS OWN
PIRATE
SHIP, TOO!
HOWEVER,
AFTER A WHILE,
A CREW MEMBER
SENSES THAT SOMETHING
IS UP!
NOW, SHE
ALERTS THE OTHER
CREW MEMBERS,
AND THEY SEE
AN ENEMY SHIP
ACROSS THE
WAY...
SO THEY...
GET
'READY...TO RUMBLE!'
AND
THEY GIVE IT
THEIR
'BEST SHOTS,'
AND EVENTUALLY
THE
ENEMY 'FLEES!!'
"CAPTAIN, ADMIRAL REPORT!"
SAYS THE
FIRST MATE, "WE RAN THEM
AWAY REAL GOOD, SIR,
AND THE WORD WILL SPREAD THAT
WE ARE NOT
TO BE
'MESSED WITH!'...SIR...WHERE
WOULD YOU LIKE
US TO SAIL
...NOW?"
"LET'S HEAD...
...DUE WEST...LIKE
'THE WILD WILD WEST!'"
AND THAT...
THEY DO...!
HOWEVER...
JUST BEFORE SUNSET
A CREW MATE RUNS UP TO
CAPTAIN REPORT
AND ALERTS HIM,
"CAPTAIN, THERE'S
A HOSTILE SHIP
APPROACHING
OFF THE
STARBOARD BOW!"
"OH THE _____ NO!" SCREAMS
THE CAPTAIN!...
BUT THE FIRST MATE SAYS,
"IVE FOUGHT THEM BEFORE
AND I KNOW THAT
THEY CAN BE BEATEN!...BUT STILL...
WE MUST BE VALIANT!"
SO, OF COURSE,
THERE IS A
'CLASHING OF THE CREWS'
AND
WHILE THEY
CLAIM THEIR VICTORY,
THE CAPTAIN THINKS ABOUT THE
GIRL
BACK HOME!....
BUT...
...JUST THEN...
"DOCTOR REPORT, YOU'VE BEEN
SLEEPING WAY
PAST LUNCH," SAYS
THE ASSISTANT,
"I WOKE YOU UP WHEN
YOU STARTED
MOVING TOO MUCH!
AND...
...I HOPE...
THAT...
...'IT WAS GOOD!'"
AND,
AS DR. REPORT
GETS
BACK TO HIS
DENTAL SCHOOL CLINICAL WORK,
HE THINKS,
"YES!...THAT DREAM
SURE WAS GOOD!"
...
THAT SAME AFTERNOON,
HSR DOES SOME
CROWN WAX-UPS
AND CASTINGS OF COPINGS,
THEN
AFTER AN AFTERNOON OF
BUSINESS
HE HEADS TOWARD HOME
AND A DENTAL SCHOOL FRIEND
OFFERS HIM A RIDE,
AND SHE SAYS,
"HOW'S IT GOING,
MY HANDSOME CLASSMATE!"
AND HSR SAYS,
"EVERYTHING'S COOL...BUT..."
AND SHE ASKS, "BUT WHAT...TELL
ME!"
SO HSR SAYS, " I HAD A SNOOZE
AT LUNCH TIME TODAY...AND
I HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM!"
"YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?" SHE ASKS...
"WHAT IS THAT," AKS HSR...
"I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD
DO THE SAME THING
TOMORROW AT LUNCH AND
PICK UP
WHERE YOU
LEFT OFF!" SHE HINTS...
"THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT
SLEEPING IN A
DENTAL CHAIR,"
SAYS HSR, "THAT'S
DIFFERENT FROM
A BED OR SOFA OR
ANYWHERE ELSE!"
"SO, HSR," SHE SAYS
AS SHE DROPS HIM OFF AT HIS PLACE,
"SEE IF YOU CAN
GAIN SOME
VALUABLE INSIGHTS OR EVEN
SOME FUN TIMES!...BUT...
IF THINGS GET
'TOO HAIRY' JUST
WAKE UP...OKAY!"
"OKAY..I'LL TRY!"
SMILES HSR,
"SEE YOU TOMORROW!"
SO,
WHEN HE FINISHES HIS
LAST MORNING
PATIENT, HE
TELLS HIS ASSISTANT,
"I THINK THAT I'LL
REST AGAIN
IN..."
"...YOUR FAVORITE CHAIR,"
SHE
SAYS, "I'LL SEE
YOU AFTER LUNCH, HONEY!"
"OKAY...WAKE ME UP
IF I OVER SLEEP AGAIN!...SEE YOU" SAYS HSR...
NOW,
HE HOPS INTO
HIS FAVORITE CHAIR
DEEP BREATH AND
CLOSES HIS EYES,
BUT HE
DOESN'T
FEEL HIMELF
GO
STRAIGHT INTO HIS
SLUMBER...INSTEAD,
HE THINKS ABOUT A
ROMANTIC NIGHT
ON
THE SHORES,
AND THEN
VISIONS OF
A
STRANGE CIRCUS!
AND EVEN SOME
HAPPY DANCERS SHOW UP!
NOW...
SOMETHING SAYS,
"HI...YOU'RE BACK!...
...AIN'T THAT RIGHT MACK?"
(SMACK!)
...HA HA!"...
"HELLO, HSR," SAYS THE NEXT
MANIFESTATION...
"I JUST HAPPENED TO
BE PASSING BY
YOUR AREA OF THIS
SUBCONSCIOUS COSMOS,
AND THOUGHT
I'D JUST DROP IN ON YOU!....
...SIR, LIFE AND DREAMS ARE...
NOT JUST ALL
'FUN AND GAMES!'
YESTERDAY WAS FUN, BUT
TODAY...WE SHALL...
...HAVE 'GAMES!'
...YOUR ASSIGNED TASK
FOR TODAY
IS TO START
ON ONE SIDE OF
THIS VALLEY
AND JUST GET
TO THE
OTHER SIDE...UNHARMED...NOW...DOES
THAT SOUND
...TOO HARD?...OH...AND
YOU CAN USE ANY IMPLEMENT
TO PROTECT
YOU THAT YOU
CAN
'DREAM UP!'...
...GOOD LUCK!"
SO,
HSR FINDS HIMSELF
IN THE
'THICK OF THE VALLEY,'
AND
THINGS GET
EERY
RIGHT
FROM
THE START, AS HE STARTS HIS WALK!
"SIR...IF YOU FEED ME
I CAN
GUIDE YOU
THROUGH TO YOUR DESTINATION!"
"SIR...BE VERY CAREFUL
ABOUT
WHO YOU TRUST
DURING YOUR
TRAVELS!"
NOW...
WHAT SEEMS TO BE A MOVING SPIRIT
SAYS,
..."SIR...GRAB YOUR
'SWORD OF YOUR DREAMS...NOW!"
SO, HSR CONJURES
UP A SWORD...
IN A
...HURRY!...
AND...NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON...
BECAUSE...
THIS BEAST
ATTACKS FROM ONE SIDE...
...AND...
THIS ONE
EMERGES
FROM
THE OTHER
SIDE!
HOWEVER HSR
DISPATCHES THEM
WITH THE
GREATEST OF EASE!
HOWEVER,
AFTER A WHILE
OF WALKING...
...HSR FEELS SOMETHING IN THE
MYSTERIOUS VALLEY AIR!
"SIR...EACH FOE
THAT YOU FACE
IS NOW
MUCH STRONGER
THAN THE LAST!...
SO IF YOU WISH TO
LEAVE THIS DREAM
WITH A
'SOUND MIND,'
YOU MUST
MAKE IT
TO THE END!"
SO, NOW...
...NOT WANTING TO
MISS DENTAL SCHOOL...
HE FIGHTS
ANYTHING IN HIS
PATH
WITH A
'RENEWED VIGOR'
AND...
HE SHARPENS HIS
PERCEPTION
FOR
'ANY AND ALL'
UPCOMING THREATS!...
"But,
Everyone knows that a
'Carefree Smile'
is not the same as a
'Maintenance-Free' Smile!"
"I just moved to this
New City
and I'm
trying to find a
New Orthodontist
to complete
My Braces...
but...they are all
too Expensive!"
"That is a valid concern
shared by so many People
all over!...
...It wasn't always like that...
...but it is now!...
Let's see why
the Prices to get
Dental Work Done
are so
'Way Up There!'"
"Now that I finished
the University and Dental School,
I owe
a _________n' half a
Million Dollars in
Student Loans!"
"This is a Beautiful Office
and I need
a Location like this to
attract a
'Rich Clientele!'"
"I've got to
earn more dough
for my Wife's
Shopping
Sprees and her
Social
Outings...
...and...
the Kid's
Private Schools,
and my
Country Club
Dues...
and I'm renewing my
Office Lease,
which is more costly now...
so...
I must increase My Fees!"
"Yes, Girls, I operate
two Dental Offices, and I just
Won the Big Lottery!...
So...
You all know that
I'm making some
Major Changes
in My Life!"
"I just don't know!...
...I can
only afford some
Dentures
or My Rent
but...
Not Both!"
" _________!...
...I have to
stop
School,
so that I can
earn
some more money to
pay Tuition when
I start Back Up again!"
"Maybe,
I'll just
Marry a Dentist
and have
'The Good Life!'"
"If I keep up at My
Present Pace...
Things should be better
in Fifteen Years!
"Don't Dentists do
Free Work anymore?...
My
Teeth are Killing Me!"
"Doctor!...Is there
any
other way that
I can pay You?
...I'll even
'Do Windows!"
"All four of my Kids
need
braces so Badly!"
"My Dentist says
I need to
give him
50 Gs to start Right Now!...
...How
will I ever?"...
"I'm in so much debt, and
Everyone in the office
and their Families
depend on me
for their income, and
some times I
just want to get
off of this
Treadmill!"
"Aww, Man!...
I've got to
hire some
Good Help...
...and pay them well!"
So...
it seems that
there are
Many Reasons why
Dental Treatments
are at
the Pricing Levels that
they are!...
...The
cost of Everything
is...
...going
'Up To The Sky!'...
I guess that...
all that I can say is...
...take care of
Your Teeth so that
You Only need
Check ups and Cleanings!...
May you have many...
..."Our Health Status is
something to
stay Mindful of!
Maintaining Healthy Lifestyles
means
taking care
of all of Our Body Parts!
And that doesn't mean that
we just Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!
...We also have to, every night...
'Take Out The Trash' in
Our Mouths!"...
..."Sir Pharaoh Report!...
...The Alignments of the Stars say that
We will
...'Fall Madly In Love!"...
..."Well...this is one time
that...
I don't mind
'Being Framed!'"...
..."Doctor Report!...
...I told my Mom about what you said...
...that most People who have Dental Problems
don't
Floss enough!
And You know what She said?...
She said that
she wants
You to
Floss My Teeth
at night!"...
...smiles!
"Hi there!...
Hey...it took You
long enough to
get here!...But...
I don't Mind Waiting
for
'Beautiful You!'"
"Can You Tell By The Way I Look..
...That...As A
Tooth Fairy...That...
I Service
...A 'Rough Side Of Town!'"
"I Actually Saw What Happened Last Week
When Astronaut HSR
Went Inside Of
'The Sphere'
...with Lunaria Parsec!"...
Meanwhile...Back At The Place Where
We Should Be Able To
Relax
Rest As Much As We Want!...
Dental Hygiene Wars!
"OH No!...
I can't fight back!...
My Host is
using an
Electric Toothbrush!"
"I've got You cornered,
capnocytophaga!...
...Don't worry!...
...All I want
is some of Your DNA!...
My Researchers are
going to
use it to
make a
Retrovirus for further Study!"
Every War
Is fought
Between...
...Multiple Foes!"
"They said that
I could use
any
'Targeted Scalers'
That I want
and
I choose these!"
"Okay, carious predatorus wingeulus...
...it's just
You and Me!"
"Doctor Report and
his Band of Hygienists
are
after Me!...Please Help Me!"
"Last Week, Daisy Duck
invited Me in...
...and...
...I'm Glad She Did!"
