Howdy Sera!
Welcome to the best website for women of a certain age, hands down! You're gonna love it here. And I can identify with you about the dental office. I worked for my dentist for three years, as a receptionist. Wow! We saw it all at that office. Our boss used to say that when he retired, he was going to be a stand-up comic. I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but it would only have worked if he first gave the audience some laughing gas.
Anyway, welcome!
