The Agony Scene

I think that preventative dentistry is very important and this is why I run a moving clinic located in the projects. I help many kids and adults with getting the much needed preventative dentistry that they need and would never have otherwise, had my friend and I not started up the moving clinic.

I remember the first time I helped out an eighty year old lady and fitted her with her first set of false teeth. She had been on a liquid diet for the last ten years since she had lost all her teeth to decay and could not afford to have false teeth made for her when the old teeth were pulled out.

I use her story all the time when I clean little kids teeth in our make shift clinic. She gave me permission to tell her story and to show her before and after pictures to anyone who I deemed it necessary to talk to. I make sure that preventative dentistry is pounded into these kids minds and that they will always remember me and the eight year old woman who finally got her false teeth. I just hope that it sinks in and they take good care of their teeth with either a regular dentist office, or a free clinic.

My mother thinks that I am a baby still and bought me some footie pajamas for my birthday. I wonder how many other thirteen year olds have boys pajamas with feet attached to them. I never want to hurt her feelings but since she leaves me no choice but to, I told her to send them back. She just looked at me with a puzzled look and asked why.

My father just rolled his eyes and told my mother that teenage boys pajamas pretty much consist of a pair of pajama pants and a t shirt. She said that since I was just a little boy, I had loved wearing footie pajamas to bed and just because I am getting older, should not make me ashamed to be comfortable.

She went on to let me and my father both know that she had discovered a company online that makes the footie pj’s in all adult sizes, so we could actually all wear them and then maybe it would make me feel more comfortable. You should have seen the look on my father’s face when she suggested that he wear a pair of pj’s with feet sewn into them, it was priceless.

I was happy to see that they sell diamonds by themselves at the store I had walked into when I was on vacation. My grandmother gave me quite a few gold ring settings but told me that when times got tough, she used to take them into the local jeweler and sell the diamonds out of them. She would have them replaced with cubic zirconium and my grandfather would never know the difference. I loved all the settings, but did not want any cubic zirconium on my finger. I talked with the owner of the we sell diamonds store and he told me to just send him the rings and he would make them look fabulous and then send them back to me.

I got home from my vacation and pulled all the fake diamond rings from my jewelry box. My husband saw what I was doing and asked if things were so bad that we had to sell diamond jewelry or what. I explained that I had bought some diamonds to replace the fake ones in theses and had to send them off to be exchanged. I also had to let him know that if things were that bad off, sell diamond jewelry to make it would come after sell golf clubs, so he will know if we ever need to “make it” by selling things we own.

We just overheard that some of the guys in the office are going to be putting together a team for the Scottsdale coed soccer league. They have not asked any women in the office to be on it and from what I understand; they do not plan on it either. I think that it is pretty crummy and wonder if all of us women need to get together and make our own team for the Scottsdale soccer league.

I am sure that when the guys find out that we are thinking of competing on the Scottsdale coed soccer league they will think that they are going to beat us easily but they do not know that four of us women in the office played soccer at the college level. It has never come up in conversation, but I think that we might just drop that little tidbit in their ear and see if they ask us to join their team.

If the guys in my office do come to us more experienced soccer players and ask us to join their Scottsdale soccer league team then I know that we will most certainly turn them down. If they thought that we were not good enough before, we do not want to be with them now.

I will never be sure if I chose the exact perfect policy for me, but after looking over the different term life insurance and no medical exam life insurance policies for three days, I just finally chose one that seemed like it would work. In fact, I chose the one that would cover all of my debt, my funeral expenses and also some left over for anything else I did not think of.

My lawyer suggested that I get the life insurance after we started to work on my will and he found out that I did not have any life insurance at all. He gave me some different pamphlets that explained all about the different kinds there were including term life insurance and no medical exam life insurance.

I thought that only old people got life insurance but he explained that if I was setting up a will, I was obviously coming to terms with the fact that I would not be here forever and I needed to take care of the debt I had incurred while I was here and prepare for the possibility that I may have a family someday that will need to also be taken care of too.

For five years, our company had been saving up to buy some new servers that would be bigger and better than the ones we currently had. In fact the new ones would be double in size to the current ones and our office would be able to accommodate at least twenty more associates.

I knew exactly how much money was in the account, so when I came across the used poweredge servers company on the web, I got excited thinking that we may be able to have our new servers even sooner than any of us had ever thought.

I printed out all the necessary information that was needed to share with the office and made copies for everyone. I gave them to them all during our weekly meeting the next morning and they were all on board with buying used servers that had been refurbished that we could afford to buy today. The vote from the team was unanimous and we bought ourselves some used poweredge servers right then and there and were excited to have them coming in about a week’s time to be installed and get us into the twenty first century. The task of hiring the twenty new associates was next on our list, and hopefully it would not take us five years to complete that.

My only request from the new owners was that I include the used hp servers with the building when I moved all of my furniture out. I had not paid that much for the used proliant servers five years ago, so I had no trouble leaving them behind. I knew that it would be easier for them to just move in and be able to just hook up to existing servers and open shop.

I however was now going to have to locate some good used hp servers to be installed into my new building. I had about two months to find them though since the construction team was about that far behind. I started my search online for the used proliant servers since I had gotten my old ones there a few years back. I could not remember the name of the site, but knew that they were based out of somewhere up north and put that into the search engine to narrow down the results. I found them in less than three minutes and they still had the best prices around when it came to used proliant servers, so I purchased them and had them delivered to my house and I would just take them to the new office when it was completed.

My last cleaning supplies company that I called to send me a rush order, has apparently gone out of business. I called the same number that I have always called and a recording came on that said that the number had been disconnected or changed and any good company would not change their number and not notify their customers.

I had been burned by these kinds of small companies too many times. It always seems that when I need janitorial products right away, they have closed, shut down or taken the day off. I was not going to deal with it anymore and I was going to have to find a good company that had been around for a while, even if it meant paying a little more for each order.

The few janitorial products sites that I found looked very promising and the prices were actually lower than what I was expecting them to be. I guess that it was going to be easier and cheaper to use an online established cleaning supplies company. I placed my first order and put a rush on it, I needed to make sure that they got the right products to me on time before I placed my normal big order for the month.
