Oh my. When I saw that picture of my speedy car, my heart skipped a beat. Isn't she pretty? Mine's like that except it has a spoiler. And I am a speedster. Last year, my husband bought me a radar detector for my birthday--has saved me sooooo much money. We have a Jeep too, Neesy!

You just drive carefully Missy! (We don't want any accidents, kay?) - now I sound like your Mom
(your heart skipped a beat? Did you have a transient ischemic attack? :-O)
I have noticed when you go back to edit on the latest version of this board, you cannot access the smilies!

Seriously, I'm all about being careful and courteous, even if I do go a little over the posted speed limit.
I go fast. I have a picture of my bright little red supercharged Saturn Ion somewhere. Just not on this computer, apparently. It's a relatively nondescript car, but hence understated. On a back road in Wyoming, I've had it up to .....You just drive carefully Missy! (We don't want any accidents, kay?) - now I sound like your Mom

Never mind. I think I could go to jail for admitting it.
I tend to stay a little closer to the speed limit now. The last five (5) times I've been pulled over, throughout four different states, it's been on the catch-and-release program, and I'm pushing my luck.
Oh, and transcient ischemic attacks. Ischemia is not good. I had an occlusion of the right coronary artery, survived it (obviously), and who could believe, wrote a story about it. I can't say my heart skipped a beat, but it was fluttering, something hearts aren't supposed to do in a literal sense.
I found a picture of my car, right after a rain.
Wait, wait, I found a cooler (to me) one.

How daft can these people be.
The insurance company pays 100% of charges made by a dentist. However, with a dentist you have to be awake. So, the additional portion charged by a surgeon, we have to pay for. The estimate they send to the insurance is a "high estimate". It assumes a difficult extraction. However, the extraction went easier, so the bill went down. And for reasons nobody but satan himself knows, the insurance company pays even less, thus leaving us paying more.
And last year, because the annual maximum per person is so low, the insurance would only cover removing two wisdom teeth. Since none were impacted and he was not in pain, we opted to remove two then, and two this year....saved us about $800.
The dental coverage is through my husband's work. Every year it get worse and worse. Before long it won't be worth the portion of it we pay through his deductions.
I am angry today because my friends keep dying. I've lost 3 people in 2 weeks for stupid reasons man R.I.P.
I'm sorry Riot. I hope you feel comfort during this hard time.
I hope your grieving is short, replaced by the healing that comes from the happy memories you have of your friends that will keep your spirits buoyed during this difficult time.
On a more practical level, please don't make any major life decisions for a couple months or so. A process like this worms through the psyche in ways you can't even comprehend at the moment.
Thank you for expressing yourself with people whom you know care. Good luck, and all the best.
I'm so sorry she's still so wild and breaking your heart. Practice detachment if you can - it's hard, but you might find some peace in it.

Oh no! I'm so sorry - 3 friends in 2 weeks - how tragic. (((Riot))))))
Not angry so much as dispirited. Took DD#2 or her first orthodontist appointment and it's going to be a huge amount of $. We're a single earner family (aside from my royalty checks, which are variable) with the two oldest kids in college/trade school next year. I have no idea how we're going to afford this. On top of that, she's starting to exhibit signs that my father's lovely genetic legacy of depression has gone down to her. I've struggled with it for years; one brother died of a drug overdose (related to depression), and another fights it every day. I had hoped my kids would be spared. This is not my favorite day ever.
Skimom2- are there any payment plans available that are realistic and affordable? I hold you and DD#2 in prayers that it is just a phase and not depression. Sending positives vibes!
Oh no - much love and prayers to you. All that mouth stuff is expensive. My 22 year old has a smile worth thousands, and she stomps on my heart every chance she gets. I'm sorry about your brother, that must have been horrible for your family. Keep an eye on her, it certainly bears watching. (((((skimom2))))
I just had a phone fight with our oldest. She's 22 and knows what she wants, and my opinion is nothing - I have "nothing to hold over her" as she says. We continue to support her somewhat, financially, and it's been a burden, but we've managed. Shouldn't I be allowed an opinion? Shouldn't she at least listen to my side? Oh, my aching feelings. I step in it no matter what I say to her. She's thrown us to the dogs. I was never so mean to my mom, even now at my age I don't get this ugly with my mom. Sadly, I don't think she'll understand until she has kids of her own.
I'm going to have to detach. Detachment, detachment, detachment..... this is not about me, this is not about MY will, this is not MY life.
