A tiny city exists approx 10 miles away from East Nowhere.East nowhere has a downtown?
East Nowhere has exactly 1 traffic light. I'm not kidding.

Drove back from San Diego yesterday. Had a great time with DW's family over the holiday weekend.
We stayed at a very nice hotel in La Jolla. Our lowly Camry rubbed elbows with the BMWs/Benzes/Cadillacs in the parking lot. And I think we looked a bit underdressed to the crowd dining at the hotel's upscale restaurant.
Sorry to hear that. Hope it all w*rked out ok.My retirement budget has some flexibility for unexpected expenses. So far this year, in this category, I had to get a new water heater because my old one failed, and then later in the year I had to replace my carpet due to Hurricane Isaac.
So, that's not enough, right? Right? Yesterday I broke a tooth off while vigorously flossing my teeth. Can you believe it?* I will be spending the afternoon at the dentist, and expect the bill to be staggering.
Oh well, this is why we allow for unexpected expenses. Looks like my spending this year will be way more than I had expected, though. I mean, I can afford it but still, all these unexpected expenses just to maintain the status quo are so aggravating. A new video game for $25 thrills me to death, but multi-thousands spent on just keeping things as they were doesn't really float my boat. Too bad some of this unexpected spending couldn't have happened after the New Year.
Holy crap, I thought that was an urban legend. I sure hope they offer an extended warranty.Yesterday I broke a tooth off while vigorously flossing my teeth. Can you believe it?*
*Actually, this was not a natural tooth; it was one that I broke off in 1999, and my dentist had put in posts and built a new tooth on the posts. So that semi-fake tooth was what broke off.
I can't think of a bad hotel in La Jolla. And I'm surprised that your car wasn't turned away at the city limits...We stayed at a very nice hotel in La Jolla.
Funny you should mention this .I broke a tooth earlier in the year .My dental insurance came in handy this year .My big unexpected expense besides the pool remodel which was a huge chunk was the trip to my Mom's after her fall .I had three airline tickets I could not use and then had to buy a last minute one way ticket . Basically a $1,000 ticket loss .Sorry to hear that. Hope it all w*rked out ok.
It's an epidemic, I swear. Just a few weeks ago I had an split tooth extraction done. I recall seeing two other posters with tooth problems around the same time. Too much Halloween candy ?
I'm getting my 3 cap bridge done in 2 appts spanning the calendar year turnover so I can get the max out of my annual limit (Delta Dental).
Timing is everything.
Do we need a Tooth Fairy thread ?Funny you should mention this .I broke a tooth earlier in the year .My dental insurance came in handy this year .My big unexpected expense besides the pool remodel which was a huge chunk was the trip to my Mom's after her fall .I had three airline tickets I could not use and then had to buy a last minute one way ticket .

Our megalopolis south of east nowhere has 2.
Do we need a Tooth Fairy thread ?
Obviously so!
My dentist presented me with a number of options, and we decided to go for the implant. Total cost for everything is estimated at around $3,000, and it is estimated to last 30 years. So, if one considers that to be equivalent to $100/year that isn't so bad, I suppose.
Still, I will be paying in full this year (to save money), and I am self-insured (to save more money), and I don't have to like that if I don't want to!
I hope your mouth is not in pain right now, W2R!
That is a very reasonable price. I have one and am so happy with it. Well worth the %^&*$# cost (no, you don't have to be happy about that!).
In this situation perhaps it'd be more prudent to measure its lifespan in terms of how many times it can be flossed...... and it is estimated to last 30 years.

I think I should probably learn to floss less enthusiastically.
Believe it or not, my dentist was asking me how I was doing w.r.t my brushing and flossing habits. He changed the subject after I reminded him of how the tooth came out.
Try using a gentler touch ?
Is that you at 1:06 into the clip ?
I couldn't resist.That's amazing!!! And yes, that is probably a good approximation of W2R flossing her teeth with vigor....
I couldn't resist.
The image of a 2 man crosssaw competition flitted into my mind...yes, I have seen them live up here in East Nowhere. It is pretty cool to watch. Women compete too.
NYS Woodsmen's Field Days Lumberjack Contest
Be very nice to the LumberJills.How cool! Women, too? That is terrific.
Be very nice to the LumberJills.
It is a very serious competition event. I'm overdue to attend it. It is fascinating.
The youtube clip was filmed in Quebec.How cool! Women, too? I went back and looked again, and there are women shown (I thought they were guys with long hair). That is terrific.
