They gave hime Percosets. I went Generic to save the $10.00 co-pay. Percosets are one great pain killer.

Debbie, Debbie...? Oh gosh don't tell me... could they stop naming them, just 'til i leave?

Well, you know, TS Debbie shouldn't be a problem unless it turns...but there is that little wave, somewhere down there...all I see are rainy skies here...wish I had a percoset but looks like Little Ceaser's is what's for dinner...done cooking too....they have a nice $5 pizza here, I'll pick it up and that's that.....

Just please make sure that your son rinses with, god, what was it? Saline water??? because he really needs to keep things in there clean so that no infection gets in....

Have a good night, I'm writing my report & leaving work!

Well, another one. Got a call today from son number 1. "Dad, my car is smoking and the temp guage pegged in a second or two". "did you pull over?" "YES". "Right away?" I asked. "Yes". "Good". I thought great, blown head gasket, can't do it where i live.

Got there, the boy did good, got it off the road right away, but it blew the head gasket. Oil in the surge tank and bubbles, transverse engine, gotta get underneath for the mainfold and some bolts, bye-bye Buick. Now comes the hard part for me, remember a year ago and ALL the time since when i've BUGGED you about contingency funds and your bank balance? Welcome to the real world, AAA will tow the car but your on the bus now!

So sorry to hear about the car troubles, robivi3 . Yet another life lesson lands hard for one of our growing-up kids. A little time on the bus never hurt anyone (of course, in high school my kids used to call the school bus the "loser cruiser"...LOL!...so perhaps I spoke too quickly! )

Boy can I identify with both wisdom teeth and car troubles.

First one, Son, had wisdom teeth removed. Why is it you have to go to an Oral Surgeon these days??!! Dental only insurance coverage on that one. Wound up being $500 out of pocket.

Second one, last summer. Daughter #1 was on Hubby's new company' insurance. Boy did we get lucky with that!! Based on the panoramic's, they filed it under Medical for 80% of the Oral Surgery. Then back filed against Dental for the remaining 20%. We got our $400, 25% deposit back.

Now here's the kicker on daughter's wisdom teeth. She had 4. Right??!! Showed 'em in the X-Rays. 4 incisions too. Oral Surgeon only ever billed for 3, that's THREE wisdom teeth.

And we won't even go there with cars. We've had 2 literally driving us crazy lately. Brakes, brakes (yes that was brakes X2), exhaust, water pump, EGR, Oxygen Sensor. On and On and On. UGH!! And we still gotta get tires for both of them!!

It's a hard lesson, got the car home. I can't let it go, I'll pull the heads but it will be a month or two. Right now we are tied up with Stuccoing, remodelling the kitchen ($14,000.00 including appliances) and one bathroom is ripped out. I am regarded as an expert on 3.1's and 2.8's.

Oh rob,

I truly can believe the number that have moved to the Atlanta outskirts. Just try getting through any of the metro counties these days. I have been gone 9 months but miss it bad. Not the traffic mind you, but the terrain and weather. I am looking at smaller cities outside ATL to move to eventually. Possibly Augusta, or Savannah. Anybody know anything about those areas. I gotta finish school first, though!
