And A Happy New Year, Ctd

A reader writes:

There are two things I've had done that scared the crap outta me prior to getting them done:

1. Getting lasik surgery.
2. Getting wisdom teeth yanked.

Both were EASY with one issue each:

Lasik: The smell
Teeth: The way it sounds

Neither was painful in the least!  So, stop being a wuss!

I've been putting off Lasik for ever too. My dental excuse is my British childhood. The traumas of socialized dentistry! I can remember the crack as the roots of my incisors were removed (cheaper than orthodontics). So the sound point has not helped. Still haven't called.
