I just got back from the dentist, and Husband is planning his trip next week

While a cleaning makes for a big expense, having clean teeth in good shape (IE pain free) is worth it. I hope. (cleaning =1 hundred, root canal = 1 thousand, so I guess cleaning is cheaper)

Unfortunately the dentist said I really have to get the other two wisdom teeth out this year or I will be back in pain again. So we have to save up and do all the hassle of making appointments and the like. (UGH)

totally unrelated. We found piano and or voice lessons may be availible at the Co-op in the fall, for about 80 a month. JC has requested the voice lessons, and GMC has requested the piano. Not free (or even cheap) but... if they really like it, I don't mind, and I certainly can't teach them.
