Dental Woes? Noes. (grin) Well, A Little Bit...

[charliemc]

This morning's dental appointment was actually to FINISH UP the second half of my last root canal (which I mentioned HERE). I guess I hadn't realized it wasn't done (!!!), silly me! If you read the entry I just linked, you'll find that I'm pretty much whining about the pain

Sorry you had to endure another marathon dental visit, and that it was so painful too! I was cringing just reading your post... 0_o

Love the icon though!

Glad you were able to re-add the page to the festival website and get everything re-coded properly;I hope it wasn't too much of a nightmare.

I was dreaming of Powerball wealth last night too, and though I would have loved to have won the whole thing, truthfully I would be happy with even a 1,000th of that, or less! Those winners will certainly have their work cut out for them, and if they don't manage it wisely they could end up in ruin, and/or their families could be torn apart. The mantra "Be Careful What You Wish For" is something I try to keep in mind every time I find myself dreaming about becoming the next overnight multi-millionaire. ;)

I also don't think about winning for myself as much as I think about how it could help others, like my mom and my church, even given our current financial situation, though winning some cold hard cash would sure help that improve immensely as well! That's not to say that makes me any more deserving than another person to win big money but I like to think of myself as at least being a little less selfish than most. What bothers me is that all of this money is going 'round and 'round, and while our school system is supposed to benefit in the end I think the ratio is disappointingly unbalanced. *sigh*

I hope you feel all better soon, and that the cold that's trying to lay a foundation in your head will give up and go away!

*HUGS*

Deanna, you were very much on my mind during this huge Powerball payout -- as were a lot of others I know who are barely making ends meet. I thought of sister Sue who is struggling to keep her house (I've no clue where the three of them will end up if they lose it...). I thought of my cousin Linda who barely manages to keep a roof over her head. So many others.

Marilyn and I talk all the time about what we'd do with such money if we got it, because of the potential for great good. How it could really impact lives in a positive way. I was shocked when they were interviewing people on the news and it was all about trips to take and buying new houses and cars and all of that -- because that never comes up in our conversations! I suppose those are the people who run through even big sums of money and end up worse off than before winning. But as you already know, money isn't the solution to all our problems, anyway. I like to think we've got our heads on straight about what really matters -- and no matter how hard things get financially, we'll pull through (you and us, I mean!).

But, yeah, think how much easier it could be. Hahaha. I guess God doesn't have easy in mind, so we'll deal with it. (You are someone I would help in a second if I had the means. I mean that.)

Yeah, the dental pain is BAD. It's still bad this morning and was awful last night when I was heading to bed. (I thought I'd never get to sleep.) But I'll deal. I guess that's another thing I think God plans for us -- to deal with a certain amount of pain all the time and learn to live with it with grace. But it's not always easy to do, that's for sure! (grin)

Your friendship is important in my life. Thanks for taking the time to comment, dearheart. As always, I wish you nothing but the best.

(hugs)
