I never bought the whole root canal without any anesthesia or pain medication. No one could endure that totally sober.

Dude, you need to change your dentist. I heard root canals were terribly painful also and mentioned to my dentist that I really disliked needles and drooling for half a day after the procedure. Two root canals to date without anesthesia, no pain (Well, just twinge or two) and I felt felt great afterwards. It is all the hands, you really need to shop around.

That's probably why they got along so well.

I have seen the commercial previews but even that couldn't get me excited. AS for watching the whole show - no way! I'd rather sleep or read a good book than waste my time with her issues.

Oprah DESERVES to be scammed. She's liberal, she's visible, a lot of naive minds tune into to her and they accept her inane political drivel.

Perhaps some of them will revise their unnecessarily elevated opinion of her.

I did, once. 30 years ago. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced, far more painful than the initial car wreck that smashed up the teeth and necessitated the root canal in the first place.

I'd like a dentist to confirm, but I believe if the root is completely dead, the procedure can be performed without anesthesia.

And men can smell BS when it's coming from another guy, but not when it's a woman doing it.

Don't kid yourself..
Men think everything another guy says is BS, regardless..
As for women, they know it's BS, but they "want to believe"...

"And men can smell BS when it's coming from another guy, but not when it's a woman doing it."
Not true. From Day One, I smelled BS all over my soon-to-be-ex-daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, my son didn't have as keen a nose as I. Nor did he have ears to hear. Now, he has Hell to pay. And pay, and pay, and pay...

Oprah must be pissed!!!!
Yeah, but will she cop to being conned? I doubt it. Oprah is all about conning the welfare mothers and other ditzes that form the bulk of her audience with a whole bilge load of emotional horseflop.

Oprah did a show on the subject of "Being on the Down Low" once. It was a means for a man to not only deny his own homosexuality but to make the issue of being gay a racial issue.

What a joke!!!!!!

Men are BS artists....

It's what makes us charming. A women has to decide if she's willing to buy what we are selling.

I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on that.

But, I happen to know someone who was in and out of county jails for several years, was in two mental hospitals, and spent two years in prison before getting sober and starting a wholesome life with a wife and children and a steady job.

Perhaps he needs to write his own book.

Anybody who believes the stories of an addict who does not accept the principles of AA has only himself to blame. Frankly I cannot see what all the fuss is about with this guy, even if all the stories were true. But they are obviously self-aggrandizing bullsh!t. How anybody could read five pages and not figure that out is beyond my understanding.

I actually saw a bit of his appearance on Oprah when I was at the gym. I thought he enjoyed recounting his screwup stories a little too much. He seemed strangely proud of them. And now it turns out he's proud of his lies.

And from what I've read about the book, it's astonishing to me that anybody would believe these stories in the first place. They're not even halfway credible, particularly the nonsense about the girlfriend he met in rehab who killed herself because she couldn't wait 12 more hours to see him. Gimme a break.

One Pentecostal minister kept thrilling his congregation about stories of his evil life as a druggie, etc. Later I heard how haggard he looked because of his hard work. Still later his wife presented the board with a detective's report about all the affairs he was having in the congregation. So much for charisma!

Clinton's election and re-election proved that America can support bums and even love them. I would call him a criminal, but that is too nice for him and Lady Macbeth.
