For a second opinion, I need to probably pay out of pocket for a second exam. But I called and scheduled an appointment for next Friday at a second dentist reccomended by a friend. When asked over the phone I was informed that a crown will only cost $900 instead of $1350.

I am part of 4 coupon trains currently and am extremely tired of it. It’s an awesome concept that every week I get to see and use coupons I usually don’t see. But the problem is I only had hoped to be part of 3 trains.

So a door to door person came by today and offered me a deal on Verizon. Just as I was complaining about RCN and the fact I don’t have a deal. I was offered a deal for FIOS internet, cable, and phone for $99/month for 2 years. Not a bad deal. [...]

When you go out to eat how much do you tip? We went out to lunch today, and had a pretty bad experience at a Korean restaurant. The place had great food, decent price, and a nice atmosphere. But the service left a lot to be desired. The server took about 15 minutes to take [...]
