I'm lucky that my girl has Gov benefits so we really do have quality dental coverage, but we still end up paying out of pocket for quite a few things. If it was a regular doctor it would be a simple $20 copay though.

Spoken like a true male. Mrs Vampire. Our pool parties are quite tame. We enjoy some wine, food and a nice splash in the pool. There are never any shenanigans that that may make one question anyone else's intentions. We are a docile bunch that like to go for a dip every now and again with friends.


Oh wait.... that's my quilting parties!
