At least you're back to work. I've been on standstill waiting for a job I want.  It pays well and guaranteed I'll get it.. it's just the waiting is breaking my wallet

I'm sick of work. If I didn't have to pay £25k on my dental work I'd take a month or 2 off. Or 3.

Good news is I picked up TNG this weekend so I have some extra muscle around.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

I hate how dental work is classed differently than healthcare. You get a tooth infection, you can die easy.
It should be covered by insurance instead of being the bless'ed shell game it is. My insurance covers one tooth per year. I've got 32 of the gits!

Yo Bea.  Nice to see you, and hope you'll be around more.

Just got an email from tarascon after many months of silence.  I guess the library was closed and he was cut off from internet access.  He's fine, and sends his regards.

8ully, in France, they cover dental.  I have to pay for it out of pocket, but it's so much cheaper than in the states.  I have to call the dentist tomorrow, but, given it's Bastille Day, they'll probably be closed.

Dental is covered here by the National Health, just not anything cosmetic.

My work is a bit of both in my opinion.

About time he finished that website of your'n!

He reckons it's so dated that it would be a liabilty. The plan is to build something fresh and dynamic (literally) but watch this space as he can be less focussed than me.

So glad to hear of tarascon.  I miss him dearly' maybe I should send my email?  I'll send it to you six, feel free to use it :)
I want to come onto here regularly.  I apologize most things that involve me are irregular. I'm working on that.  My children have always remained my focus and I've long since known I need to focus on myself regularly, somehow.
Dentists' yes.  I have a bad molar at work again, and although my daughter has appointments coming up, I've yet to make one for myself. By the state of Illinois I have insurance again, it's all in picking a oral surgeon now.
Also, I meant to mention, I started my new job. Awesome : )  not sure if I mentioned retiring as a waitress, but yes.

Waitressing is exhausting work, and generally, not well compensated, so congrats on moving up in the work force.  tarascon checks in occasionally, but not in any predictable way.  If you want to pm me your email addy, I can send it along to him next time I hear from him.

I think he has no internet service except for his occasional visits to the public library, so his communications are infrequent.  As far as I know, he's still in Michigan.  He went there to look after his ailing mother, and stayed on after she died.  I think he's retired, certainly from the tree trimming biz.

I'd imagine he's not still tree trimming either.  I'm very tired Six.  I just took ten minutes to type out four sentences about t.v. I hope you have sleep well.  I'm going to get some rest now :)

Still not catching me, despite trying hard.

Amateur.


Enjoyed it, had fun, was spoilt rotten, have overtaken christ by physical appearance.

I did get a family photo at La Pont De La Tour, where we ate, but there's a high risk that Buddists will seek me out as the latest reincarnation of their deity so I'll keep it private.
