quester, have you tried calling the Iowa Dental Association? They should have a list of places that offer free or reduced cost dental care. Most state dental associations do. Although it will probably a long wait for an appointment or take a long time.
Sometimes individual dentists have their own financiing/payment options, they usually advertise those in the yellow pages.
So I found out why I wasn't getting hot water in the tub - I kept turning on the cold water tap thinking it was the hot one.
In my defence when I turned on the actual hot water tap there wasn't hot water coming out of it the other day.
Also the hot water heater was set on the lowest setting and has now been moved up a notch so hopefully I'll have hot water all the time and not occasionally luke warm water.
As for the kid thing, I've gotten the "oh but you'll regret it!" line before. My reply to that is, I'd rather be at the end of my life and regret not having children then having children and regretting and resenting them.
For those of you who parent 1 child and get any shit about it, I have no siblings, and my father has no siblings. His father had no siblings.
We all turned out okay. We don't/didn't have maladaptive behaviors. It is all well and good to say you might want kids to take care of you when you get older, but my mother has a brother who has been completely unreliable. She didn't have his help when my grandmother fell into ill health and later died.
Sometimes your kids pre-decease you.
Life sucks. All we can do is live it and be okay with our choices and life circumstances and try not to be assholes.
Although it will probably a long wait for an appointment or take a long time.
This wouldn't be much different than the insurance plan with the waiting period.
you've never had a paper cut? or first cut of today's paperwork?
I've had them before. But rarely. So, first for this multi-day task. Ow.
I'm seeing a kung fu action movie, where one person threatens "The death of a thousand cuts!" while brandishing their sword. And the other one threatens "The death of a thousand paper cuts!" while brandishing a manila folder. See who cringes.
"I have a ream of sharp paper, and..." reaches over shoulder, "A Super-Soaker full of lemon juice!"
I can hear Hubby snoring through the wall. He's dreading the bone marrow draw tomorrow morning. He so hates IVs. Good thoughts for a simple procedure and favorable news. May the odds be ever in his favor.
Ever in his favor.
Glad he's getting sleep tonight. And thinking of you both. It is a rough time but he's beaten so many things, I think he's got more win left.
tons of in-his-favor~ma! Glad he's getting some sleep.
Lots of ~ma for your hubby, Connie.
