Tootsie, I acknowledge that being on the road is dangerous, but that is just a risk that I will take. I take a risk of being killed everytime I get in my car. If we live in fear, we don't live at all. When I die, I want to know that I have lived.
Last time I went to the dentist, the Nazi hygenist told me that not flossing was going to take 5 years off my life. (I usually floss, but I didn't bother that morning, since I was paying her $75 to clean them. That's like cleaning up for the maid.)
I told her that it was a relief to hear her say that--I don't have to worry about being hit by a truck and killed if she's so sure that my nasty teeth are going to do me in...
(Was this a tangent? Oops...)

That is what I've been saying.
