Oh, honey, I don't blame you for the Norway travel. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 10/09/2010 06:35:10 AM
If someone had asked me before what your chances of ever having a woman were, I'd have said they were remote at best. So, for God's sake, now that you've got one on the hook, don't ever let her get away. You travel to her if you have to.

The $150 I spent last weekend visiting two good friends I'd never met wouldn't even cover one filling, even at the insured rate. The $400 I spent visiting a number of others in July would've covered two, but my main concern now is the two root canals, and the cost of both trips COMBINED wouldn't cover half of ONE of those, even at the insured rate. I guess I could cancel my wedding, that would save some money. Remind me the next time we're discussing marriage to remind YOU how trivial the ability to marry, and marry the person of your choice, is.


As for the rest, you talk about travelling a lot. Just in the past 2 months in your reply there, you've spent $550 on it. You, like all of us, have limited resources and you've chosen to spend those not on your medical/dental care nor have you spent it on essentials. I imagine your family has spent quite the pretty penny on those dogs you've talked about, too. Internet service costs money. I imagine you pay for that. Do you have air conditioning? These are all things you don't have to have if you have something else that should take priority, such as your dental care. If you'd spent years saving your money instead of spending it on things you don't have to, then you could pay for your dental care. Even better, if you'd spent the money on getting minor dental work done at the time, you wouldn't need the much more expensive care you seem to need now. So, you've spent your money unwisely and now are whining about the consequences. Suck it up and pay for your care and do without. Or, better yet, go get some more work. How many jobs do you work? How many hours a week do you work? Texas has a decent economy right now. There should be plenty for you to do.
