I was trying to make a new post last week, and my Internet was all funky. I pay almost $90.00 per month to have some sort of speed on my Internet service. I know, ridiculous, isn't it? But, DSL is not available in my area, nor are any other services besides dial up and that alone will make me want to do bad things to my computer. Several years ago, the girls and I all pitched in and had to pay $300.00 for the satellite equipment, and now I pay this $90.00 per month. You would think for all that money I would get GREAT Internet service. Well, I don't. Not only is it unreliable, but apparently it is not "unlimited". In getting to my point, with Catherine home and all, according to my provider, we have gone over our FAT time, and now, have limited, and VERY slow use. Until the end of the month. Besides, some one near by is also feeding off of my wireless signal, and I need to know how to block them from using it........Ok, enough on the computer.
What I was going to post about was wisdom TEETH. Yep, Catherine needed all four of hers out, and me, well I needed to get two of mine out (yep, I still have/had mine). Anyway, the oral surgeon that I was sent to said Catherine's would be $2000.00, and mine would be $600.00. I do not have dental insurance on Catherine or myself, and needless to say I don't have $2600.00 just laying around.........so, the solution........we went to Mexico and had it done for about 1/2 the cost. Mom and Dad went also, and they had some dental work done as well. I have a photo of Catherine's teeth, before they were pulled, but I can not load it on my computer at this time (see above paragraph). Hers were really tough to get out. I won't go into detail, but when her dentist said he had to "cut away some bone", I pretty much quit listening at that point.
As I am sure my previous post indicated, I was feeling a little unsocial. It had nothing to do with the wisdom teeth, just wisdom in general, of my lack there of.....anyway, I am learning to deal with my dilemma, or ignore it, I am not sure which yet, but, no matter, I still don't want to talk about it, so, don't ask me "how's it going".
One more topic and then I am done for today. It is an old one re-visited.....last night I watched the original "Star Wars" movie. That movie came out when I was a senior in high school (1977). Back then, the special effects were awesome, and the movie was great, and so on and so forth. I use to know a group of young men who were beyond fans of "Star Wars"....obsessed is more like it. Let me just say, I laughed watching it this time..........but, even if for the laughter, it was still entertaining. (Luke was a whiner!)

It's a sad state of affairs when Americans have to start leaving their country to get affordable health care!!!!! Anyway, I want more details about the trip. Was it horrendous driving all that way after having your teeth removed!!!! Wowsers. I was totally down for the count after having mine out. All I remember was Joel constantly having to suction the blood out of my mouth---yuck! Jenny
you're a good mom.
you don't always listen, you surely don't always understand, but I don't always listen and I don't always understand and I like to think I'm a decent kid even when I'm a total mess.
I give you a lot of crap. I'm sorry.
I didn't mind going to Mexico, or you poking me to make sure I was actually home, and your frustrations with me are usually always asked for by me, so I don't have any complaints.
I'm working on something.
