I have just completed the General Knowledge Crossword in Saturday's Daily Telegraph, for only the third time ever - and I only had to look up four clues. (Oh, all right, six clues.) Now I'm going to post it off and win £200 and a copy of Whitaker's Almanac - that's me and goodness knows how many hundred others.
OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally have something to boast about!

i went to the dentist today after more than a year (yucky, i know), but i have nothing wrong with my teeth! no cavities! very noice.
p.s. this has nothing to do with boasting.. but, one thing i found absolutely silly.. my dentist asked me if i have kids. i stared at him for a moment and replied, "no, i'm only 19!" besides, i always thought i looked young for my age. what a weirdo.
curious.
That does sound like he had some ulterior motives. I wouldn't trust him.Originally Posted by InspireMe

yeah, I thought so, too. it sounds like a pick-up line, as if he was trying to find out whether she's married.
He could have been doing that, after all I noticed he didn't have a wedding ring. (It's a habit when I see a guy, I always look at his hands. Meh.) But he acted normal after that.. it was quite odd.
curious.
Hmmmm...what to boast about! Let me think. Really there has been little lately for me to boast about. Maybe that at the moment I am controlling my sleep for quite a long time to adjust my sleeping routine. I really need to do that, educational institutes are just about to resume their studies!
And the guys with a wedding ring on, don't they use pick-up lines?
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
well, i would hope they direct their pick-up lines to their wives...
curious.
Maybe the dentist has a regular line of 'patter', like hairdressers: 'Have you been away on your holiday yet? Where did you go? oooh, lovely! Are you doing anything special this weekend?' etc. etc Maybe he was kicking himself for launching into his usual line of mindless chatter with only half his mind on it when he suddenly realised he had started on the wrong one!
ahh that is also what i thought he was doing, but i wasn't sure how to explain it. line of 'patter'... i love that!
something to boast about.. i got paid at work today and i got more than i expected! i worked harder than i thought. go me!
curious.
Possibly but I still wouldn't trust him Inspire.

Recently got the sheet music for Don McLean's "American Pie" from the music store - so much fun. ^_^

yeah, i have to go with you on that. even if his intentions really were harmless, i don't trust him anyway. hahaPossibly but I still wouldn't trust him Inspire.
curious.
Well, after seeing some of the other post counts around here, its not that impressive, but for someone that normally doesn't spend a lot of time on forums, 500 posts is a big number!
