10 Reasons Your Dentist Probably Hates You Too (Anniversary)

Lolabees — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 17:00:00 +0000

Help me celebrate the 10-Year Anniversary of 10 Reasons Your Dentist Probably Hates You Too! On November 17, 2011, I turned in my last key to the last dental office I ever worked in. It was a momentous day. I had spent 10 years as a dentist and hated dentistry and my life. For years I felt stuck in the wrong career, and I didn’t know how to change. I thought I had no other skills besides being a dentist. Couple that with the fact that no one in the field ever mentioned they hated dentistry as well. Thinking I […]

How's Your Online Etiquette?

Do you have good internet manners? If you have good manners in real life, it may not be safe to assume you know how to behave online. But should the rules here be any different? The Daily Posters at WordPress recently wrote an article about comment moderation by the blog host, but lately I’m much more fascinated by the actual readers’ comments and what these statements say about that individual. Online behavior generally mirrors the non-virtual segment of the world we live in: most people are polite, but there are a few that are just plain rude. We all know […]

My Cleaning Lady Caught Me Peeing in the Sink Last Night

Lolabees — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 22:48:49 +0000

It was awfully humiliating, but luckily it’s not what you think. In my last post, I described how my intuition helps me out in the form of recurring dreams. This peeing incident was just a different recurring theme making its rounds in my head. From plane crashes to climbing down steep mountainsides, these dreams always have a message to deliver to me. Once I get the message and act on it, the dreams move on. I’m afraid that things are getting even freakier than plane crashes and fear of heights. In this latest series of dreams, I have to pee. […]

Why I Love Hankey Pankey

Lolabees — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:56:16 +0000

There are 2 types of people in this world: those that talk the talk, and those that walk the talk. I’ve met a lot of both types in my life, and I’d be oversimplifying things if I said each person is entirely one or the other. There certainly were times in my life when I’ve just talked and taken no action to back the bull$#!+ that I was spouting. Heck, I could be doing it right now and don’t even know it! And I’m sure there were other times when my actions were right in line with my values and […]

Why Dentistry?

Lolabees — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 23:17:44 +0000

One of the most common questions I often heard from patients was, “why did you choose to become a dentist?” It always made me smile because the question usually arose from different intentions. Many were simply curious and fascinated to learn how one falls into this career. They just wanted to get to know a little bit about me. Some were curious and fascinated because they always thought it would be so hard to “be in people’s mouths all day.” They admired my strength. Others, well, they were curious and fascinated because they found it unfathomable that anyone would even consider […]

Whoa! What just happened?

Lolabees — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 23:11:11 +0000

Five days ago I published a blog post that turned out to be, well, quite a surprise. I thought my 50 friends, family, and new blogging friends who followed me would see it, get a little chuckle, maybe comment and click the like button, and I would be on to the next post. Just as I have done for the past year. But I guess I said something that struck a chord. As the hours went by, I saw that the usual 80 hits I get on my publish day were growing… rapidly. When I watched my stats barely go […]
