A dress code? That sounds a bit weird. Too bad everybody didn't drop out because of it so they wouldn't attempt that anymore. Is that the first time you have heard of such a thing?... or is that the norm for certain places?
It's hard not to be disturbed about the shootings. Such a shame.
Dental things are a little crazy in price. I have insurance at this time that helps a little. I went to one dentist one time that would file the insurance, but on some things, they then charged extra because the insurances didn't pay them enough. ha....I really liked the dentist and staff, but found at that time I really couldn't afford them and I then referred to them as the "rich people's" dentist. Affectionately though and not to their face.:)
I had a dentist do some work a couple years ago, a root canal with cap. Something underneath seemed to not want to heal, so after a couple of months I went back to let them look at it. They scrapped all around and seemed to think it was fine. They gave me a bottle of special mouthwash that was supposed to help. I used it and used it, but it didn't help anything. I then started swishing warm, heavily salted water around a few times day and night and of all things, it healed right up !
That looks like a mighty fine dinner.
I think the PDGA is trying to make disc golf a "legitimate" sport, lol. They put in the dress code back in December but I don't think most amateur tournaments were enforcing it until I registered for this one. Actually, I really should be resting my arm at least until the point where I can stand sleeping on my right side again so not playing in so many tournaments is good.
Dental prices are all over the place. My dentist does quality work but without insurance, it has become pricy for me. Some of the mouthwash they prescribed did not work out so well and turned my tongue black without doing much else. I stopped taking that because it seemed like it might cause some serious issues. What I'm doing now with the Waterpik and more gentle mouthwash seems to be improving things.
I don't think I'm going to try some $800 dollar treatment with unknown results. Once you start down the path of spending that much sometimes you feel like sticking with it for longer than perhaps you should. A lot of things give me allergic reactions when I first try them, like the athletic tape that I tried on my shoulder.
