We have enough food and farm produce is often cheap out here -- water is expensive though so I plant waterwise to keep the garden do-able. No TV but I need the Internet -- gas rather than electricity for the stove -- gas lamps and candles for summer evenings, cold water baths and showers in summer. The vet's bills for the dogs are going to sink us, but until then we keep trudging...<br /><br />Just wishing you lived next door.Mary LAhttp://louisey.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-6430200006469265822011-10-25T20:07:55.015-07:002011-10-25T20:07:55.015-07:00In California, a year ago, a specialist demanded $...In California, a year ago, a specialist demanded $1500 for a root canal and the dentist wouldn't do them, up in SF anyway. Thank God my tooth survived without one. Dental insurance is indeed a blessing. Funny how as the world moves on our blessings are found in the mundane. <br /><br />As always, it makes me happy to visit you.<br /><br />NamasteRubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-83420477940456325372011-10-25T19:21:24.896-07:002011-10-25T19:21:24.896-07:00When I have a root canal, it is ALL on my shoulder...When I have a root canal, it is ALL on my shoulders as I don't have any dental insurance. I think I managed to keep from having a root canal since the nerve under the crown has settled down. But it's a huge expense.<br /><br />And I'm sorry about the coon problem. I love your posts too, you always put my life into perspective because I can see you are doing great with your life and then, so can I. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-53677604490771893622011-10-25T18:48:10.326-07:002011-10-25T18:48:10.326-07:00Root canals can be awful.

He fit the crown but referred the actual work out to a specialist, who charged more of course. This lowered my employers liability insurance but the cost goes up for the patient visiting a specialist. I hope this is over soon!<br />I really admire your attitude. Hope the oons leave you alone soon.LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-56595707219966457542011-10-25T18:37:46.421-07:002011-10-25T18:37:46.421-07:00Humor and right to the heart of the matter.

Loving it.<br /><br />By personal experience just recently, I know where of you speak, regarding the high cost of dental work.<br /><br />I sold my Volvo to get mine done, and it took almost all the money. Just short of $4,000.00, and I didn't have enough to finish with the two bridges. But I am thankful for what was done. And from what I hear now healthy teeth and flossing are critical for heart health two.

Ouch for the pocketbook, too! :( I guess the overnighters with MissB will come in handy.<br /><br />I'm glad you discovered the way the raccoon was getting in and that the girls are locked up for the night. Too bad about Lazarus.<br /><br />I know what you mean about living a simple life. Me...I'm pretty poor already, so not far to fall--LOL! You are blessed to have someone you love and respect...and a kerosene heater. ;)<br /><br />I love your posts. Nice that your garden is ignoring the threat of winter and still happily producing.
