After I was off on my own, I found out that the math thing was due to my brain working diff -- I can get the right answer, just don't ask me to show you how!

I can't spell either. I struggled through it in school and when I got my first computer 20 years ago--with spell check on it--I thought it was manna from heaven. And i can even spare a bit of empathy for the dentist visits, as I've had my share of time in those chairs. Take care of yourself Pia! I’ll send some empathy your way concerning spelling.

My first apartment was a one bedroom hole in the wall, walk thru kitchen, dining area sort of apartment... $998.00/month. I can't believe how cheap it is to live down south! But I'm a real NY'er too and will probably never leave. Gotta love Manhattan in the summer! :) Coming from a lower Westchester native I can vouch for the $200,000 thing!

She's a lifesaver, and she deserves 10 times what I've been able to pay her for what she has done for me. When/if I ever make it big and hit the jackpot again, I will not forget her ;-) PS:

Just found out I was going to need 2 root canals... YAY. Before I was sent to the Desert, I had regular days off at the job - Mon and Tue, but since returning and leaving military service, I have no idea which days off I'll have the following week until Thur of the week before. Everybody else has their same days off, but not me because I have to "work my way back in", even though I was every bit as vested as everyone else at the job before Uncle sent me to war. So I begged to have one day off at least, that I could count on every week so I could schedule an appointment with the dentist since he is always booked in advance. They couldn't promise anything, but told me they would TRY for Fridays of every week, but the job comes first. Explained this to my dentist and I have a solid booking for a Fri three months from now; the best they could do under the circumstances, and the only dentist in town who honors my insurance. They'll call me if there's a "no show", but that will have to line up with the 40-50 hour per week schedule I work. Needless to say, being in sales, I cannot go and have two root canals done, then return to work that same day. Maybe some can do it, but not me. I don't think anybody's going to buy a big ticket item from a salesman who looks like he's got the mumps and is drooling down his chin, but I might be wrong. My employer held my position for me while I was away, but understandably, the schedule I OWNED is now somebody else's. It's been months and I'm still being treated as the "new guy" because of the fact my employer had a huge management change while I was away, and most of my former coworkers were gone before I got back home. So after being out of sight and out of mind for well over a year... I'm STILL trying to "earn" my way back to a desireable, and set schedule again. Sorry to write a "book" here, but I could relate in a way to the dental thing. I just want my frigging teeth fixed, but it looks like I'm either going to have to burn one of my precious vacation days, or wait for weeks or months to get it done. I hope your luck is much better than mine has been thus far... Blog ON, my friend...

Good luck with the mouth. Two months is a comparatively short timewhich I am sure you know but I can understand your I impatience.
