Gee, the fun seems to never end. We are still having problems with our septic tank. We had recently had it pumped and toilets worked well for 2 days. Now it seems our leader line is having problems... it may be tree roots. Hubby is outside now trying to dig up the leader line. Our plumber, Mr. Culpepper, says it could get really bad, he mentioned being up sh** creek. I guess he has been there before and it is an actual place like maybe... my backyard. 8) Well maybe its a good thing to be distracted by this so we don't think on more serious problems, IE 'our relationship' and how it's going to change.
I decided to wait until all my dental work is done before resuming my job search. I am having too many interruptions with dental apt.s right now. And it's bumming me out. I have been making some progress with my laundry room. And am getting close to getting all my laundry done. Finding some old clothes I have missed wearing. Almost like treasure hunting. And I can get some more organizing done. The dentist, Mr. Colvin said, it should all be finished by the end of January 08. Sigh, at least I have a target to shoot for, that's a relief.
The number '8' means New Beginnings! Expect good things this coming year! Behold! I do a new thing! Hopefully it will be a job, earning good money.
Anyone have any takes on 'Bloom Where You Are Planted'?? I would love to hear what you think.

Update on Lumineers 2
Surprise of all surprises, they repaired my temporary, put the same one back in and it fell out the next day, yet again. But since there was no pain this time, I don't think I'll go back until the permanent ones come back in. Unless I feel any pain.

Update on Lumineers...
The receptionist called today to remind me of my appointment tomorrow. I asked her had she listened to the answering machine? She said not yet. I told her a lumineer fell off and she said she would let the dentist know. I said I had left several messages. She was in a hurry so I let her go, they will find out soon enough. The company that makes the lumineers said they would file a complaint and give the dentist a call to see if he has taken care of the situation. I suppose I will find out something tomorrow, since I do have an appointment.

A Billion Dollars
In God We Trust
A billion - the true story about a billion Dollars
This is too true to be very funny The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it. While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division . . Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLIONto rebuild New Orleans. Interesting number, what does it mean?
A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.
B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012. Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??
Tax his land, Tax his wage, Tax his bed in which he lays. Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes is the rule. Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirts, Tax his work, Tax his dirt. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think. Tax his booze, Tax his beers, If he cries, Tax his tears. Tax his bills, Tax his gas, Tax his notes, Tax his cash. Tax him good and let him know That after taxes, he has no dough. If he hollers, Tax him more, Tax hi m until he's good and sore. Tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in which he lays. Put these words upon his tomb, "Taxes drove me to my doom!" And when he's gone, We won't relax, We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!! Accounts Receivable Tax Building Permit Tax CDL License Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Federal Income Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Perm it Tax Gasoline Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax), IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax), Liquor Tax, Luxury Tax, Marriage License Tax, Medicare Tax, Property Tax, Real Estate Tax, Service charge taxes, Social Security Tax, Road Usage Tax (Truckers), Sales Taxes, Recreational Vehicle Tax, School Tax, State Income Tax, State Unemployment Tax (SUTA), Telephone Federal Excise Tax, Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax, Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Tax, Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax, Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax, Telephone Stateand Local Tax, Telephone Usage Charge Tax, Utility Tax, Vehicle License Registration Tax, Vehicle Sales Tax, Watercraft Registration Tax, Well Permit Tax, Workers Compensation Tax.
THIS IS NOT FUNNY!
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened?
Can you spell 'politicians!' And I still have to "press 1" for English. I hope this goes around THE USA. What the heck happened?????

Lumineers
I am currently getting lumineers on my front teeth, the lower set. Had nothing but problems so far. Finally got them in, and the dentist broke 2 of them trying to attach them. So he had his assistant put the broken ones on temporarily til the others come in, ...again. (They sent off the impressions twice, the first time 3 weeks, the 2nd time 2 weeks.) That was yesterday. The stuff he used on my teeth, whatever it was, makes the skin on the inside of my mouth come off. The assistant says that's normal. This time my lip swelled and I broke out in blisters, a bunch of them. He prescribed me some mouth wash that is helping, but it has a warning that it stains teeth. How scary is that? Now today, the temp fell off, and I was surprised I felt pain. The pain is increasing, and I've called his office no one is there today. Dec 21, 2007. The after hours emergency number is another office number and there is no answer there either. I have left numerous messages. I know I will not be able to handle this pain for very much longer. I will probably have to go to the emergency room. At the moment I am sorry I went this direction and I would like my money back! But I am in PAIN! They are supposed to be guaranteed for 20 years. I have no more confidence that they will. I want something in writing. I am spending too much money for these kinds of troubles. Don't know what you can do, but I need to vent. This is definitely not pain free. (And they remove some of your enamel when they adhere them to your teeth)

Surprise of surprises... my hubby bought me a Dell computer % ) Who have thought it? 4 Gig memory, 500 Gig harddrive. Quad processor. Suppose to be fast. The monitor arrived yesterday and the tower probably will show up tomorrow. What a shocker.
Monday, I lost my external hard drive. The electric went out and zapped it. I tried working all day to find a way to retrieve my contents. I worked til 12 am and decided to go ahead and go to bed. So I shut down the computer and unplugged my ehd from all sources of power. And prayed for a miracle. Tues morning after I had taken my son to school. I plugged up my ehd and plugged it into the computer, then powered up. I didn't get the messages I was getting previously. Like, found usb device cannot find driver. So I checked the 'my computer' and there it was! It's called 'Scrapbooking'. It's where I keep all my scrapbooking stuff. It's almost full. So I have been busy backing up, since it scared me half silly.
Later gators....
