*2Flower* To You

Just what the Dr. ordered -- NOT

I took the kids to the dentist today, and 3 of them have cavities! It's incredible, because they never get cavities. One of them has 5! I'm not allowed to say who, because that kid is embarrassed. Needless to say, tooth brushing and flossing are going to go way up, and sugar is going to go way, way down for them. The first question asked by the hygenist was, "Do you drink Dr. Pepper?" And of course, it is the favorite beverage for the kids with the cavities, particularly the one who has 5 of them. The dentist confirmed this -- saying Dr. Pepper was the worst for giving people cavities. Darn. Should I sue them for all the cavities? Too bad I didn't know that -- maybe it should have a warning label. It never caused them problems before.

So, cha-ching. We have dental insurance, but it's still going to cost us 20% of 7 fillings, plus all the sealants that we're going to go ahead and do on the molars without fillings.

I'll try to do more posting tomorrow. I worked on the new layout today, and I'm working on some other pages as well.

Oh, and thank you for all the aquarium advice in the comments, Stephanie. You sound like you know a lot about them. I've already flushed one neon, but I'm not surprised. I've never been good at getting them to live. When I run out of fish, I'll take your advice and get some really cheap goldfish.
