Depending on actual content of post…but on general idea, what you just said, I would.

Just to add even though I know a couple have already mentioned.

The dental plan is ace. Also if you have a mental health plan they can easily swap it over to count dental too. My GP did that for me.

The dentist I’m with believes that it will proabbly be canceled towards end of June, so get in quick.

So far I’ve had two root canels and 5 fillings (and I’m only halfway through my sessions.)

Another word of encouragement re the sex work post. No pressure, but whenever you’re ready to write it, I’ll be ready (and very interested!) to read it :)

Audient? That’s adorable :)

I’ll try and muster the courage to do it soon. I need to build up my spoons for coping with potential backlash first.

Yeah, I’m sure it will take lotsa courage. Hence en-courage-ment ;-) Just offering a teensy safety-net of an appreciative audient, FWIW (singular of audience borrowed from my lil sister, at the age of about 7. It still makes me smile).

When I read your post, I just became so upset that you should have exhorbitant dental bills, on top of the other medical costs.

Aw. :) Thank you, that’s so sweet. I didn’t mind your diversion at all, it’s valuable information that should be out there.

Yes, Hexy. Ditto. And pardon the diversion onto matters dental. Im just passionate that the people who need it get it. Lauredhel is right. We should have a universal dental scheme but in the meanwhile this is the best we have. When I read your post, I just became so upset that you should have exhorbitant dental bills, on top of the other medical costs. I look forward to more of your posts as well!

WP: I’m glad to hear it! It’s going to take a bit more courage than this one, though…

And thank you for the positive feedback. Thank you ALL, actually… the response to this post has been far lovelier than I expected.
