Riddle Me This

So what’s wrong with the following scenario? Cost to get teeth fixed in America: $3,300 Cost for one adult, one child and an infant to fly to Slovakia and get teeth fixed: $3,300 Cost for two adults, a child and an infant to fly to Ireland and Slovakia and still get teeth fixed: $3,300 I sort of wonder if I kept looking, maybe I’d find an option that let me go to Asia, Europe and Australia and still only pay $3,300. Because apparently that’s how much these things cost these days. Bottom line is that we’re seriously considering making a […]

Birthdays and Dental Bills

First of all, a very happy fourth birthday to my son, who’s at home right now having a party with some friends. Hopefully the house isn’t trashed when I get back. 🙂 He’s been looking forward to today for the past month or so, and I really hope he has as big of a day as he’s been hoping for.

Dentist, Done

That’s right. I’m officially cleared for chewing as of this morning. I don’t have to go back to the dentist until April, which means I’m a happy camper. To celebrate, I ate a Twix and two mutant Hershey Kisses (They’re a combo of milk, dark and white chocolate. If that ain’t mutant, what is?). We’re supposed to get a “moderate” storm tomorrow night. Only 4-8 inches. Is there an off button for this snow anywhere? Cause somebody forgot to hit it. I’ll settle for “snooze”.

Novocaine

Feeling a tad spacy right now. Probably from the novocaine I had at the dentist’s. Sigh. Stupid cavities. Stupid fillings. I just wanted to share with you all an ad I heard on the radio this morning. So there I am, driving home from the dentist, listening to talk radio. The ads come on, and they’re talking about how hard it is sometimes to find space in your suitcase when you’re packing for a trip. Okay–fine. I’m with them. Their solution? Disposable underwear. I am not making this up. Underwear you wear once, then toss away. Riiiiiiiiight. That’s just wrong
