Dentists are like used car salesmen. I don't think it's medicine so much as its an industry. I use my Delta dental coverage because it's better, and cheaper, then what I can get through my military retirement. I lucked out and got a great guy in SoCal that now takes care of my family as well. Apparently, he does a lot of the Hollywood crowd and doesn't need to fleece the rest of us. He's always looking for ways to cover us and not incur the additional charges. First time in my Delta years that I haven't been totally dissatisfied with the dentists I've had.

If its any consolation, military coverage is worse.

Guys,
My frau is gathering items to be auctioned for an American Cancer Society Fund Raiser and she asked if I thought momma D could pitch in for some round trip tickets in the conus. Do y'all have any idea where and who I could start with; in asking for this gift to be auctioned.

Please PM me if you have any suggestions.

TGE airport isn't where they were trained. The actual base is NW of TGE north side of I-85. You can still see the multi runway layout and the main base area. It's owned by some company in Georgia the last I was aware of. There's also a field east of MGM ( Taylor Field) that was a WWI training base. A marker is there and you can still see building foundations. Mostly subdivisions now though where the field was.

I double dog dare anyone to use a meow in their announcement...I did and the results were hilarious!

Boomer;

Did you have a nice lunch? Be sure she doesn't work for SWA. This is how they lure you in, then they ritually sacrifice you or put you in the bulk cargo with the temperature set on low.

Default Mr Delta hotel committee chairman guy

I've flown with you before but I need to thank you again (in case you are on L&G) for Detroit layovers where the food is good, beverages are tasty, and there's a random couple of bikini clad models doing an amateur photo shoot outside the work out room. May God look over you and have mercy on your soul.

Sorry cni, they don't care about scope around here. Titties and kittens are this crowd's topics of choice.

Brush your teeth twice a day with a sonicare tooth brush and floss daily and you don't need to go to the dentist unless your teeth hurt. Before I had candy eating kids, I never had dental insurance. Just tell them you'll pay cash for anything you need and you'll come out ahead. Throw 4-kids into the mix and I think I break even having insurance vs. just paying cash. The one thing that is good with our insurance is the ortho coverage.

The orthodontist that we go to works 4-days a week and makes over 300K per year. Much better job than being a dentist.
