link to the crazy asian game / tooth stuff and money

[supercheesegirl]

I'm too obsessed with this to keep it to myself anymore. Maybe if I infect all of you with it too then I won't have to play it so much. Argh, it's so fun.

In other news, I'm still really liking tapioca pudding.

I made it to yoga today. And unless someone emails about lunch tomorrow (hint, hint) then I'll probably go to yoga again tomorrow too. Although I'd much rather get lunch (though I won't be mad if you're too busy, hon, I just miss you). And I got a call from the mechanic letting me know that the car is ready to go. This is not particularly convenient, since I can't just leap up and leave work whenever and after work I've got a hair appointment and a pumpkin carving gathering at Susanna's, but oh well. I told the Kipster about all the crazy stuff going on this week for me and he even said car inspections should take priority. So I will leave work a tad early. Just a tad. (Oh, who am I kidding?)

I looked up insurance/benefits stuff today too. Turns out my dental plan covers 75% of major reconstructive work. That means my future crown! And that price isn't near as bad as I was led to believe. The appointment for the crown was scheduled for December 4, but I figured it would be better to get it over with sooner rather than later, especially since this will be the worst part and the rest is just fillings. So I'm getting it done on Monday. Cringe. Also the dentist's office is letting me do a payment plan--half now, half later--so that's cool too. And I figured out that if I put off most of the fillings till after the new year, I can put some more money in my flex spending account and therefore not get those earnings taxed. Flex spending account has the added bonus of deducting small amounts from my paychecks all year but reimbursing me for expenses right now in a big chunk. Ah, benefits, how do I love thee.

I wish we had a flex plan at my company considering all my out of pocket expenses this year! I've been trying to convince my boss that we need one. The cost is really minimal and it's a great benefit. Unfortunately the owners have been getting benefit advice from someone who doesn't think a flex plan is important.

I only had $325 in my account this year but I spent way more than that with just new glasses and contacts. Granted I won't need new glasses every year, but with dental stuff and copays for doctor visits and prescriptions, not to mention random unexpected horrible crap like your hand--it's totally great. I wish you could have one too! *hug*

amen girlie. I have a root canal due that is covered by dental insurance, but the crown that is required after the root canal is not!! I'm hoping to have it done soon (possibly an early xmas present), if not done right after the new year (when the new health benefit money is available). dental insurance sux. hang in there.

xo,

You really are evil. I'm refraining from playing it at work, though.

I don't know how you can stand it.

I've made it to level 9 but I can't get any further than that. I just keep trying...
