Jose Ward4 said:Look, guys, I’ve got some bad teeth. I actually developed a cavity right on my front tooth. Are you all going to judge me? It's been rough. My dad passed away two years ago, and honestly, I'm only just starting to process everything. I spent a whole year straight just looking after him during his illness. Pretty sure it was cancer. I wanted to see a dentist back in October, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it before now.

Do you have access to a dentist through your Blue Cross Blue Shield plan?

If your tooth is actually hurting, please try to get it looked at as soon as possible. You really shouldn't be relying on painkillers for another month and a half.
nimbleharbor46 said:Why didn't you just head in there sooner? You’re actually entitled to a free dental cleaning under your insurance. Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I would have shown up at the clinic first thing Monday morning and told her how much my teeth were absolutely killing me all weekend—basically tell her the pain was so intense I was actually scared. Once she gets you settled in the chair, she’ll start working right away; if she doesn't, you just have to be firm and insist. That’s just how you have to play the game when dealing with Blue Cross Blue Shield.
I'm assuming the provider is a woman.

Jose Ward4 said:No, I'm not. 😁 Honestly, I already made up my mind to head out in October. Right now, work is just burying me alive and that's where all my energy is going. Please, don't hate me! I really need to manage my own schedule right now; it's the only way I stay sane. Don't be mad, please. I'm sticking to October. Between everything on my plate and the sheer volume of work, it's just not happening any sooner.

Harold Anderson3 said:So, as it stands, it’s just the Fourth Ward crew, Master, nimbleharbor46, and little old me 😛. Is there anyone else joining us? 😉
I was just sitting here wondering if that sauce we ordered has finally made its way to our doorstep yet. Any word on whether it’s actually arriving soon?

nimbleharbor46 said:Nobody's hating on you, man. All good, then—we'll see you in October. We'll let you know how everything went when you get back.

briskbadger90 said:Can I jump in too? (Even though I haven't been active on this thread.) I could really use a change of pace. Perhaps even some socializing with the "crazy" folks on this forum?
nimbleharbor46 said:Where on earth are you getting the idea that we're all crazy? Honestly, you've got us all wrong from the start. Listen to him... saying "even if"... how charming.
