Seemingly impervious to the uptake of knowledge -- Henry Rollins.

For lovers of David Copperfield -- or perhaps, exactly the opposite -- I offer this. And if you're looking for a music machine, this might suffice nicely.
Hearkening back to your earlier posts about implants. I need one. My dentist does his own and I trust him - been with him for 18 years and he has always been on the forefront even if a bit expensive. One will cost $3600. I have no insurance whatsoever. What's the price like there?
It's about ten percent more, approximately. Learning that I have to have four staggered me. The cost is brutal. I am very sorry that you don't have insurance to assist with that - even one can slam a budget.
I trust my dentist as well, though I get a little uneasy when he starts out by mentioning one dental surgeon, saying that that surgeon has had absolutely no problems over the years, and then he switches to mentioning another -- not so much pitching the second as mentioning him a lot. But I've been to the second, and I do trust him. I just wish my dentist had never mentioned the first, and that his nurse hadn't surreptitiously pitched the first, either. It makes me wonder if I actually do need that higher level of skill, but this other one is 'probably' okay.
FWIW, I have one implant now that was done about ten years ago (a single tooth), and its held up totally well.
