Gretel

Someday's I am like Gretel seriously....

Let me paint you a picture.  Walking thru the woods very early in the morning and the dew is still on the ground.  You hear noises but its just the birds and creatures waking up.  The dog runs ahead of you (he is Hansal) and all you hear is noises and you wait to get captured and put in a house.  Wait maybe the house will be bigger? oh no sorry I digress.....

Its just weird to hear so many noises and when it starts to get dark early it will be even weirder!

who else feels as if they hear anything when in the woods!

Job?

I swear England is trying to break me.  I am educated with real job experience and can't seem to get a friggin job.  I have applied to entry level jobs to something close to what I did before I moved here - Nothing.

I even applied to Starbizzles and I thought I did great but I got a letter saying we hired someone with more skills and qualifications. Seriously? for 7-8 quid an hour?

Its breaking me.  I really should just do my own darn taco cabana type place - ya know breakfast tacos and mexican for lunch and dinner.  I think I could make it fly.  Maybe I need to see a man about a horse oh no thats if you have to pee. Ok see someone about a business plan.

Take out only - just a little place.  I wonder if I could make it fly here?  I would love to have a little shop because I think I could rock it.

I hate job hunting but this country kicks you when you are down.  They just said unemployment went down? seriously then who the hell is getting hired!

*sigh*  I am about to throw in the towel.  I work now but I HATE IT as I am there till midnight and bored to tears practically.  There is only so much TV you can watch.

Perfect Parenting

Ok I will wait while you get off the floor laughing.

You mean to tell me there isn't a perfect parent out there? No way!  I have seen so many who know it all, so that can't be true.

I know mom is obviously always right and knows best right? Well hon sometimes dad is right too, just because they are a man they can still be right.

So please if you have the perfect parent handbook I would love to read it, hell might get it published and I will share the profits with ya ;-)

NHS Dentist Rant

Ok I know everyone makes jokes about the British and their teeth and I understand why now since the dentists need to stop being assholes.

There are three NHS charge bands.
  • Band 1: £17.50 includes an examination, diagnosis and advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, a scale and polish and planning for further treatment. 
  • Band 2: £48 includes all treatment covered by Band 1, plus additional treatment, such as fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth (extractions). 
  • Band 3: £209 includes all treatment covered by Bands 1 and 2, plus more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges. 
Ok so you can go to the dentist 1X a year on the NHS and below are the bands. So band 1 is what you  are going on to have them check your teeth really since the other stuff is if necessary. WTF?

The first time I went to the dentist here he literally touched my teeth (no tool) and said yeah you look good. Ummmm you have NEVER seen me, don't know my history and didn't take x-rays as a new patient? STRIKE !

The next year I went and requested a cleaning when I booked my appointment and I had to ASK the dentist to clean my teeth and he did just the front 4.  STRIKE!
At least he took x-rays because he said let's take some x-rays as we haven't done it in awhile. I said how about you never have. HA STRIKE!

So this year I called up and said I would like to schedule a check-up and cleaning.I was told we don't do cleaning unless the dentist thinks it is needed.  I said I will pay for it. You will have to see the dentist first. WTF

SO I cancelled my appointment and I am going to a private dentist to have ALL my teeth cleaned and pay for it which I am happy to do.

I have white decent teeth and I put this all to 2X a year cleaning, flossing and brushing my own teeth oh and having fluoride in our water growing up.  Here they don't but don't do fluoride treatments unless needed. Again WTF

This shit annoys me because preventive dentist treatment is always better then waiting for it to get so bad you need work done. 

I feel like I have to not floss and get my teeth shitty to hope they will clean them.  Unlike in the states you flossed like crazy so you dentist wouldn't yell at you for not taking care of your teeth.

Come on England dentists pull your thumb out!

Just another rant
