wintermom Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Three of my 4 dc have visited the same orthodontist. :eek: I'm REALLY hoping that there is a ceiling amount total cost for one family.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Oh, and I think I might have a sinus infection and I was thinking of taking Nan's leftover Levaquin but Jean talked me out of it and said to take Mucinex instead so I did and I think it is working. #runonsentenceproblems #alwayslistentoJean 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 When DD was small, her first dentist was also an orthodontist. He looked at her mouth and her x-rays and said, "She's not going to need braces... Darn it." :smilielol5: This from a guy who commuted on the weekends to his beach house in his private plane. :nopity: (Lest you feel envy over my low-dental-cost kid, let me assure you she made up for it other ways. Between keeping me pregnant and getting us through childbirth and recovery, we went through our entire combined savings and then some. And we were both old, well-employed, and industrious little savers. The not needing braces thing was kinda like God tossing us a mini milk bone.) Ya know, with the mixing pronoun thingy going on, it sounds like your low-dental-cost kid made up for it it in other ways like keeping you pregnant and getting you through childbirth and recovery. You may want to clarify in the beginning of the sentence that it was not the kid. :D 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I sincerely hate when people come to my door to sell overpriced "educational" books and continue to give me the whole spiel even when I tell them 'thanks, but no'. I get he's (supposedly) in college and doing this as a summer job, but I don't want a questionably decent book that I can more than likely check out of the library. He was pretty cute though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Why not? I was really sick all.the.time. 'Twas insane. Admittedly between the two of us we made over $200 a month doing it and it was all we could do to stay afloat, but we kept getting really sick and missing work which of course paid better and was our first responsibility. As soon as we stopped going the being sick all of the time went away. I've heard the same from others. We did it for about 8 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Two men in white yamakas started pounding on my neighbors door and laid on the doorbell. They were yelling for her to come out. I told them I would call the police and not to come back until her husband was home (they already knew he wasn't). I don't understand what happened. My neighbors recently moved here from Morocco and she doesn't speak English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The Muslim skullcap, or taqiyah, sometimes bears close similarity to a Jewish yarmulke. I added a Wikipedia link.

texasmama Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I've heard kippah, but yamaka is why my middle school friend called it. This is how it is pronounced (roughly), but it is spelled yarmulke. ETA: When I read your yamaka, what I said in my head was "yah-muh-kuh". In reality, the r is lightly pronounced. Thus, the "roughly".
