I finally went to a dentisit this week.Unfortunately they do not offer a payment plan,and I need extensive work done in my mouth.Would you believe they had the audacity to suggest I take out a loan or open a 0% finance credit card?I would have canceled my upcoming extraction and subsequent "flipper" right then and there,had it not been that I had already forked over $70 to get looked at,and fitted for a "flipper".
I can't help but put "flipper" in parentheses. It seems to me they could come up with a better name for a single tooth replacement. Is it too much to ask? I am already going to be sans a major front tooth. Must I suffer the indignity of having to put a "flipper" in my mouth,also? Why not call it a "single" or a "unit"?
Anyway,for $450, they are going to service my one problem tooth and launch my dental journey and send me on my way,in search of the elusive "dentist with a payment plan".Yesterday at work, someone I told my story to replied with a dolphin sound. If I didn't have a sense of humor,there'd have been hell to pay,as I am still a little mean from quitting smoking 4 months ago. However,I thought it was hysterical,and she actually made me laugh pretty hard.
I am going early next week to the college to see if I can get some sort of entry level job with medical benefits. It occured to me that I could do something else when my friend Clif ran my blog though some sort of test,and it thought I was smart.I graduated high school,and that's it. However,I have always loved to read.And I guess I have a few things on the ball that may help me to a better job.I don't drink or use drugs,I have no record,I have no kids,I don't smoke and I have my own transportation.I can find my way around a computer,and perhaps most importantly....the title "3rd shift Janitor" doesn't frighten me.
It's probably good that this is happening now,pushing me to do something different if I can. One certainly doesn't want to be a waitress when the economy collapses.The college will always be there. The restaurant I work at? Not so much......

I can't believe how everything has changed.So glad I kept this blog back then when my life today was a mere gleam in my eye,waiting for it's chance to be launched onto the sea of possibilities that is life.Reading this again has been like having a visit with someone that I used to know.She wold be so happy to see how it all turned out...Oh wait,it's still being written,who knows where ruby's river is going to carry me to next!I'm sad most of those pictures are gone,but I am happy the story is still here.maybe I will start writing again.My mood has improved exponentially after this saunter back in time,might be good to write some for me in 2020 to read...
