    Oh Whew! thank you Granny May. I really meant my post to be helpful, not otherwise. :)
    I could very much tell that *hugs*

    but yeah, that goop is awful isn't it? Last time I went they gave me Pina Colada flavour. Afterwards she asked me how it was. I told her it was the worst Pina Colada I'd ever had! :)
    LOL Oh wow, you're joking!?!?! Mine have always been rather minty (in a bad way ;)) but the last one was attempting to be orange. Reminded me of some liquid sugar (cool drink/soft drink) named Fanta which was too sweet for me in the days I could have drunk a bottle of maple syrup and appreciated it!

    I'm thankful they stopped giving me fluoride treatments at my dentist's office in my mid-twenties. In fact I'm shopping for a new dentist (the old one doesn't take my latest insurance plan, and they never could remember my husband's name...), so I'll make sure I find one who doesn't insist on fluoride.

    The phrase, "If you insist on me using fluoride, I'm waiting here so I don't throw up in my car" works wonders. Just sayin', although I did normally make it home before throwing up.

    I actually ran across an article, wasn't able to research separately, that talked about tea having toxic amounts of fluoride due to not washing before drying leaves. Insisted getting "white" tea and buying loose leaves was better. Anyone else run across this?

    And let them do the fluoride goop, was blueberry something I think, but cannot stand mint, coconut, etc. Always warn them. This was a new hygienist who pretty much contradicted every single thing my previous hygienist had said (she died in a car accident about a month ago, and I had no idea!)... It was odd... Going to talk to the dentist if this hygienist is in left field again next time. (I'd seen the former hygienist for over 5 years, so she KNEW me well... I was blown away by the news).
