Have you considered getting a fucken job?  That's how most people get fucken money.  It's a great fucken system.

Hm...after a few years of not going to the dentist (about 5 years or more), I went back for the first time and they said I need: 1) two molars pulled; 2) two needs caps; 3) two sessions of deep cleaning.  Grand total? Rounding up to 4000 bucks.  Luckily, I have health insurance so I need to find 1400 bucks to cover the difference.  Dunno if that's a "good" price, that's just me in LV.  :P

No. A CDT did tell me that if you have one, just get ready to get dentures eventually. Maybe I should've STFU. I've been lucky with teeth. I've been hit right in the mouth with a 2X4 and still have them all. I haven't been to a dentist since I was a kid having my baby teeth pulled, no tooth fairy for me.

But over the years I've eaten differently than most, plus it might be hereditary. Both my Parents lost their teeth, but my Grandfather kept his all his life. Sometimes these things skip a generation. I'm reevaluating alot of things these days. Details later.
