  Welcome!

  I hope she recognizes me from the post.

  I'd bet on it. How many 17 year-old boys can say that their best friend is a 71 year-old woman?

  my appointment with the oral surgeon was this morning at 10 a.m.. the tooth i'd cracked had to be tended to.

  i knocked the whole top off by eating a cube of ice.

  (yes, the word "moron" comes to mind..:).

  I don't think Medicare has any provisions for dental problems, Bizzy.

  Actually they do, (including extractions) under certain circumstances.

  I guess we're kind of looking for an explanation for how you got that much service for $85? Something is missing.

  In my experience with dental care (which is extensive), even the $1900 you quoted would have been a bargain.

  a gilead student from thailand.

  a young thai girl who came to new york to attend the gilead school in upstate south lansing, new york, had a mental breakdown.

  staff members pleaded with president knorr to send her home by plane, under supervision.

  If someone has Harrison's book, check and see if she mentions the incident, as I could be wrong.

  I devoured that book - had to special order it and was glued to it for 5 days. Wish I had never let it out of my sight - but stuff happens..............I do not recall the story.

  The Medicare did bite off a huge chunk of my 7 day hospital stay. Don't know exactly how much the total is yet.

  My deductible was $1000 out of pocket, though.

  7 days? I would be surprised if your final bill is less than $70K just for the bed + $2,000 per day for everything else.

  Again, thank God for Medicare. Pray that Romney/Ryan do not kill this benefit for your children, who will probably need it.

  My dentist says you don't have to floss all your teeth. Just the ones you want to keep.

  Prove it to yourself - brush well, then floss. You will see by the plaque on your floss that brushing alone does not get the whole job done.

  Socialism is based upon the writings and ideas of Karl Marx

  If it were stated the other way around it might be more accurate. Or qualify it as "modern socialism."

  Let's just say that, as stated above, this is incorrect and misleading without the explanation you provided later. No big deal.

  If we want to get real picky about the dates philosophies started all communalistic belief systems predate Marx by thousands of years.

  Now you've contradicted yourself:

  Socialism is based upon the writings and ideas of Karl Marx

  Call it picky, but facts matter.

  From his own words and actions Prsident Obama is more communalistic than Ayn Rand was.

  This is a strange comparison since Ayn Rand was a very outspoken anti-communist.

  ???

  Socialism pre-dates Karl Marx by more than 100 years.
