Good Wednesday morning Thad, Gary, and Frankie!

Thad, I'm glad you had a good time at Jersey City Pride. I've had fun going to different Pridefests around Florida. If I remember right, you're about to board a plane to go to Southern Decadence in New Orleans in a day or so. I'm thinking that Bearracuda event should be really wild.
Well, I got my new water heater installed. They sent a rather friendly beefy guy to do it, which made it almost worth it to spend all that money. Anyway, it's done, and I don't have to worry about it any longer. The only thing is that they had to get a permit, and somebody from the municipal code enforcement is supposed to come out and look at it. I just hope that guy doesn't decide to look around once he's here, because they certainly haven't been my friends.
I'm becoming a bit annoyed at my dentist. I rescheduled my appointment for Monday. I went in, and the dentist was talking about doing some procedure on my teeth, I'm not sure exactly what, it sounds like they want to put something on, like a solid permanent capping on all my teeth. Like, I get the feeling that the cost is going to make the water heater installation costs look like child's play. Gary, I think you're right about them needing to make more money after the conference, if indeed, the conference itself wasn't about fleecing patients. And after that, they couldn't do the usual cleaning, it had to be rescheduled, where, of course, the dentist will further explain the procedure. Well, they made me schedule for yesterday, but I canceled when it became clear the water heater guy was going to be at my home all day. Well, the dental company has canceled on me a couple of times already, so I guess turnabout is fair play, right? And I'm wondering if it's a good idea. For instance, I've had a history of needing a root canal once every few years. If I have to have that done in the future, would that require breaking through that capping thing they want to do, and then it would have to be done all over again? That's what me worried about these corporate dental companies. They're looking to make big bucks out of their customers, not to primarily take care of their needs.
