Dearest,

I hope this finds you as I am at 4% battery life. I have been captured and I am at a Trump Rally. It is a sight. 1000 people and 65 teeth. I hope I survive.

Love,

Me

How do we know the toothbrush was invented by a Trump supporter?

Otherwise it would have been called a teethbrush.

if you do not get it through an employer. We were fortunate to get insurance through VA Dental Insurance Program offered to vets who get their care at VA medical centers. Spouses of these vets are eligible too. One advantage to this is that you qualify immediately for major dental work that is paid at 50 percent. At least that is the case with the carrier my husband chose , Met Life. We also are insured with Spirit Dental. Anyone can get this insurance. What was remarkable about this insurance is that if you sign up in November for example, the following January becomes year 2 when most major medical is covered at 50 percent. They go by calendar year, as opposed to when coverage began. They offer various options for coverage. The network Spirit Dental uses is the Ameritus network which is nationwide and has many excellent dentists on it. www.vadip.com and www.spiritdental.com

Most they can't even afford that. On NPR the other day they were talking about how Medicare (growing at 5%). Is taken out of SS benefits (growing at 1 point something) (COLA) & and how it is eating away at normal ability to cover costs of living. Trajectory horrible.
