Back from the dentist with the worst of my cavities filled.
I do love my dentist. He did complete films and exam, and gave me a checklist with everything that needs to be done and the cost for each so that each time I come in I can just bring out the list, tell him what I want that day, and check things off one by one.
Supposed to lay off the diet coke, though. Boo.
By the way, for people who don't have dental coverage, I signed up for a discount plan I found online that costs about a hundred bucks for the year (a bit more if you want to do monthly payments) that sets a flat fee for each procedure. The amount of the discount is different for different things, but overall it can save you a lot of money. Just my appointment today - exam, x-rays, and a filling - was discounted about $95, pretty much the cost of the plan. Totally worth it.
Hey, at least the Energy Bill passed the house. There's $500 million for renewable energy sources in there and $7.5 billion for traditional energy sources. It also opens up AWAR for drilling so we'll have a insignificant source of domestic oil. Naturally, the attempt to raise fuel economy standards was defeated.
Silly oil researchers. Don't they know we're all going to die in a supervolcano eruption?? I watch the Discovery Channel, you know.
If they are really smart, the researchers will come up with a way to harness volcano power to make cars go.
Amazon has a sex toy store. Who knew?
Who knew?
Oooh! I did!
I've had a toothache for about a month. I have dental insurance. I've yet to make an appointment. Big chicken.
It is a rare, rare dental problem that gets better by itself.
(I had one once -- a pain deep back by a rear molar, and I was certain it was going to be a root canal kind of fix. To my (and my dentist's) surprise, it was a honking big canker sore in the inner portion of the gum, hidden by my tongue.)
Nicole, my BF is a big chicken as well, and had a toothache which he ignored and ended up in the ER. It also ended up costing us $5,000 to get him fixed up. So, go. Really, cheaper and healthier is better.
My husband, of all people, sent me this: [link]
My favorite part is that you can actually order a kit.
I've worked the "Bite Me" kit. I need to get it framed for my office.
