Thanks for your comments about denta...Hello Gang, <br /><br />Thanks for your comments about dental care, especially in England from Julian, Mike in Canada, and Dick in France. <br /><br />I have three crowns now, and with the extra expense of the root canal on this tooth, have around $4,000 invested in my teeth. <br /><br />That's just since retirement! <br /><br />Throw in the charges for extraction of molars, fillings, cleaning, X-rays etc, and I'd say, well, I don't want to think about it, easily $6,000 USD. <br /><br />As Phil in Alaska said....a mightly fine rig sitting on the desk. Hihi<br /><br />I don't think my expenses are "out of the ordinary",( I'm using the average US citizen as a reference) actually, I've got good teeth since I don't smoke, chew, eat a lot of sugar, etc. <br /><br />I see a LOT of people, here in Southern WV, in the 60+ year age group ashamed to smile and say good morning. In essence, they're toothless. They, literally, let their teeth rot out because they can't afford to have good oral hygiene. <br /><br />Shameful, is it?<br /><br />Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-35847280435339938802013-04-04T05:15:38.369-07:002013-04-04T05:15:38.369-07:00John,

We hope to have one here later this year.<br /><br />Julian, G4ILOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-5700663370904305002013-04-03T21:37:54.197-07:002013-04-03T21:37:54.197-07:00Woot!

I try not to think about my aged IC-756PRO and what I could have sitting on the shelf had I spent that money on a rig! Been having some nice openings here into Russia, Europe and points east in the evenings and early morning hours. The sun is returning and soon it will be time to dim the lights in the shack and head out and play in the midnight sun! Can't wait! As always, I enjoy your adventures!

I've traveled a lot; and every time I see a person "smile", it speaks volumes about their society. <br /><br />Unfortunately, there's a lot of toothless and poor people living in WV now. Their smiles are not that good.<br /><br />You're wise to have your dental work done there in France.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-46866099129733852312013-04-03T16:08:02.214-07:002013-04-03T16:08:02.214-07:00Sorry about the dental problems.

After French insurance, out-of-pocket cost will be something like 275 Euros. Wanted it done now rather than wait for my return to the USA where it would cost 4 times as much.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984094559146508871noreply@blogger.com
