For under 100 bucks a year you could expect to save $300-$400 on your root canal.

Went all the way to Visalia to have it worked on. The dentist started and blood spewed out as soon as he drilled through my crown. Yes, it was a RC in a crowned tooth – long story.<BR/><BR/>It was too complicated and he could not finish. I was looking at a return trip to Valencia with a partial root canal and novacaine that lasted only 1/2 the trip.<BR/><BR/>In God's good grace an endodontist friend of the dent. in Visalia saw me and completed the procedure in 30 minutes. Both were friends of TMS - God was very gracious and I am very thankful for those two men.<BR/><BR/>Funniest part was waiting in the endo office with a mouth fully of gauze and a fair amount of blood. A guy comes in, looks at me and turns white. Asks the receptionist if the doctor sends all the patients out to the waiting room during root canals. <BR/><BR/>I was on orders to eat only milk shakes for two days to help with the swelling. Nothing like telling the family that, “The doctor is making us eat at In-N-Out kids!” <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to FIRE.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14219449693919069408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-69652033361229081192007-04-26T09:02:00.000-07:002007-04-26T09:02:00.000-07:00Jeepers, Phil!

While the smell of sulfur might be an effective backdrop for a lesson on Hell, I don't think I'd really want to be downwind from an active volcano. <BR/><BR/>Why not do seminars on Stromboli and Vesuvius also? Somehow it fits with the overall theme of being a Pyromaniac. You can begin at Mt. St. Helens for the American leg of the Volcanic Tour '07.Solameaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869424956571944997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-50361983560561892572007-04-26T08:44:00.000-07:002007-04-26T08:44:00.000-07:00I hope when I'm old and semi-retired, I can travel...I hope when I'm old and semi-retired, I can travel the world bringing natural disasters just like Phil.FX Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798420127955373559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-47418720551572765972007-04-26T08:24:00.000-07:002007-04-26T08:24:00.000-07:00The world is now on alert that you are about to tr...The world is now on alert that you are about to travel abroad.<BR/><BR/>May your time of ministry abound with blessings!stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499447751220981083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-25733530013086571402007-04-26T06:56:00.000-07:002007-04-26T06:56:00.000-07:00I've always thought it was such a compliment that ...I've always thought it was such a compliment that someone thinks enough of your personal contribution that he pays for you to come in person and give it.
