Preparedness for when

Well if the S does hit the fan, I have a huge supply of marshmallow Flumps as we had only one Trick or Treater round tonight! So I sat here like lemon with my witches hat & mask on & celebrated Samhain with hubby.

her shed, which is different from living in it! I know because he lives with me, in my summerhouse!

Ladies, please! Tisn't seemly to fight for the attentions of the lovely Peter.

Or if you must, can it be 8 rounds, bare-knuckes and can the rest of us watch on YouToob?

PS I have an allotment shed. Peter neither loves it nor lives in it. I did offer but he took one look and spurned me.....sob.

Happy Samhain Hester! I did Samhain stuff earlier on with a friend, it was good to do, our tiny pumpkin caught fire! But it was safe and lovely and very chilled.

Awww GQ, you can share Peter with me and Mar, he seems to flit from one to the other, I am sure he will want you too!

I think Mardatha will fight me with knitting needles so she is sure to win LOL

You guys know I'm in Canada. Our dentists are all private and most people have dental insurance through their jobs. We are very lucky as my job and the husbands have it through different companies, so we can pair them up for maximum coverage.

Well, earlier this year I broke a tooth and it needs a crown. Had a horrible experience at the dentist earlier this month when my teeth were cleaned and examined. The hygenists were horrible and rough. So yesterday, I went back to have the crown work started. I wound up getting snapped at by the nurse who then walked out and left me. No dentist came in and after 25 minutes I took my bib off and told the practice manager to cancel my future appointments because I was done. No call from the dentist to check, want to know what happened.

So today, I wandered itno a dentist near my house. Lovely man. Had a good look, got my records emailed over and gave me three options. One of which was why lose a 15 year relationship with a dentists? I told him. He was lovely explained the problems he could see and offered to send me to a specialist who would cover all the bases and potential problems. Between the two of us we decided the specialist was the best choice and I'd see him in six months for my next checkup.

Now this work is over $1200Cdn. I'll wind up paying around $200. But this dentist was kind and gentle and passed the huge fees over to another practice.

In comes the bad news, I have to pay the specialist up front and claim it back. Most dentists bill the companies and then charge you the leftovers.

Just what I needed before Christmas. I'm extremely fortunate I can manage this but it just chaps my hide that my business and dental health meant so little to my old dentist.

It's snowing and the husband wants to know if he can eat the chocolate if we don't get many trick or treaters.

WC let the hubby eat the chocolate ...

tis better for your teeth ...;)

Nice to know where you stand tho with the dentician ...

I'm surprised that your old dentist didn't follow up tho ...

Thanks Dippy. Would you believe 50 mini Mars bars are missing??? He's trying to blame canine WC but they were kept up high so he couldn't reach them.

I figure over the years our insurance has paid for a couple of the dentists cars!

oh wondercollie I hope you're ok - I dread dental work at the best of times but force myself to go for my checkups - I think I would have cried if the first place had treated me like that I really get so stressed about going and being there. well done for moving your business. perhaps a little note to the practice manager threatening the wrath of the c.r.a.p r.o.l.l.z clan would suit right about now

Blinking heck, wondercollie, your dentists must be coining it in. My dentist is 100% private (and excellent) and having a number 7 molar crowned less than 2 years ago cost me £280 sterling.:(

I'll be going back for my 6 monthly checkup next month, costs £25.
