What about Eye and Dental Insurance?

I mean real insurance---not a list of shysters on a list who will clean them free and find problems. (only 3-4 hundred dollars per year insurance).

I know several people who have spent 30-40,000 dollars in a year for implants, gum disease, caps, bridges, etc. All out of pocket.

Ever notice that rich people or high wage earners have prettier teeth than the 50% of us who make under 50,000 per year?

It is also now known that bad teeth cause about as much health problems as does lack of many other maintenance items.

Many also suffer with their eyes for cataracts, macular holes, and 20 year old glasses due to no insurance.

It is time.

No, the diamond insert would not be available in the insurance.

You would have to get someone else to pay for that, or rob a store first. Or tend bar as dawn says.

No, Lindsey, we dark eyed brunettes are better. Smiling

My smile is bright and white - I guess that makes me rich! And here I thought I was just a lowly bartender.

Well, Lindsey, it's a job and so I'm grateful for having it. It's not what I spent 9 years and thousands of dollars going to school for, but it's an honest living with good pay. The hours are such that I work nights and my husband works days; therefor, we have never had to use a day care center for our kids. Besides, day care would break us. My days are generally free so that I can go to their schools for things like IEP meetings, field trips, etc....

Keep smiling that rich smile and see you in the funny papers.Smiling

Unemployment pay
Submitted by Bonkers on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 6:12am.

I have seen much about the state running out of federal money given them for unemployment with Georgia running at least 10%.

Do you know what it pays per week? I have never seen that printed.

I think it is a good program. At least one can eat and look for a job.
