Well, I don't know about some of you, but after I had my teeth
kicked in the first time, I had to get dentures. Now I'm not
so worried about having them kicked in -- I just paste 'em back
into place.

Seriously, (who, me?)  once you've recovered from that experience you
should realize it never is as terrible as it seems.  You come out of
it, perhaps even a better person than before.  Maybe you get it knocked
out of you again, maybe not.  But it gets better.  I had the worst time
of my life about 2 years ago.  But here I am, back in the romantic fray
once again (and what a nice fray she has!).  Maybe she'll kick me in
the teeth.  Probably not -- she appreciates what I can do with them.
But if I conduct myself as if I'm just waiting for the "kicker," who do
you think I'd attract?  Probably just women looking to practice their
grande jettes, and dental hygenists.

If you're too sensitive, sometimes that can cause you to be a real
jerk.  What started out as a pleasure ("At last -- I found someone
sensitive!"), can become a real pain. Don't sacrifice sensibility
for sensitivity.

That's all for now -- time to go floss,
