| Elais | hey matt |
| Elais | so sorry I'm late! |
| Elais | *pokes* |
| MattH | Hiya CM |
| Elais | oh good |
| Elais | found out today that I'll need a root canal |
| MattH | I had one - they aren't that bad. |
| Elais | so I've heard |
| Elais | the biggest annoyance will be the cost |
| Elais | looks like the insurance will cover most of it |
| Elais | but I'm still stuck paying around 500 bucks |
| MattH | Struth - they aren't cheap. |
| MattH | Better than the pain of dealing with an infected tooth, though |
| MattH | Since I finally have dental insurance again, I went an saw a dentist today about getting an appointment. I may be late or groggy next Wednesday, as my appointment is 1 1/2 hrs prior to the chat. |
| Elais | I'm scheduled for the 28 of this month |
| Elais | hopefully, I might get it done earlier if there is a cancellation |
| MattH | Ouch - right before the 4th of July weekend. |
| Elais | well, the dentist will be doing a crown after the root canal |
| Elais | the total cost of root canal/crown will be around 1800 |
| MattH | Right after? Normally they wait 2-3 days. |
| Elais | no |
| Elais | three step process |
| Elais | first the root canal, then the crown preparation, then the crown fitting |
| MattH | Heh - my yearly dental cap is $1000. One root canal would wipe that out. |
| Elais | guess I'm lucky then |
| MattH | I know I am going to need a couple of fillings, though. |
| Elais | bummer |
| Elais | I didn't have the dentist check out any of my other teeth |
| MattH | ... as a couple of old ones have fallen out ;-) |
| Elais | do they hurt? |
| MattH | Nah....which is why I am not too worried. |
| MattH | If I keep putting it off, though...:( |
| Elais | hey, poster girl for putting stuff off here |
| Elais | if I had done the regular checkups, I probably wouldn't be having the root canal now |
| MattH | Not necessarily...but it might have helped. |
| MattH | I didn't have dental insurance as a temp and was broke, which is why I haven't seen one in a while. |
| Elais | I didn't have that problem |
| Elais | I've always had dental insurance |
| Elais | just never bothered to do the checkups for a couple years |
| MattH | Shame on you.... |
| MattH | One plus...my dental office is about 1/2 a block away from where I live. |
| Elais | I'm paying for it now *g* |
| Elais | figuratively and literally |
| MattH | I take it the tooth is hurting, then? |
| Elais | no |
| Elais | not a twinge |
| Elais | don't know if that is good or bad |
| Elais | it kind of surprised the dentis |
| Elais | I hope I remain pain free until my next visit |
| Elais | watching Tim Minear's 'The Inside' |
| MattH | Any good? |
| Elais | five minutes in, and there is already a twist |
| Elais | ooh. more screenings for Serenity |
| MattH | By the time it officially opens, everyone it America will have seen it. |
| Elais | I think there is a bit of repeat business |
| Elais | with people dragging their friends, relatives, etc with them |
| Elais | http://www.cantstopthesignal.com/ |
| Elais | the LA one is sold out already, even though tickets aren't supposed to be available until midnight |
| Elais | I'm guess they contacted the theater directly |
| MattH | I planned on waiting until the theatrical release anyway. |
| Elais | still face the same problem as the earlier screenings |
| Elais | either a 400 plane ticket or a 6-8 hour drive |
| MattH | Save your money for the root canal... |
| MattH | The film isn't in the final version yet. |
| Elais | I need my teeth more than I need to see Serenity *g* |
| MattH | And you claim to be a fan...;-) |
| MattH | So how has work been? Still slow? |
| Elais | very slow |
| Elais | it fact it is very nearly dead |
| Elais | not quite sure what's gonna happen |
| Elais | how about you? |
| MattH | Pretty busy - I have had some time to make some real improvements to a couple of the Access databases we use. |
| Elais | ah, Access |
| Elais | I taught myself Access |
| Elais | I wasn't the best teacher, but then I was't much of a student *g* |
| MattH | I am totally self-taught...but I am an excellent student and (in this case) a highly talented teacher. |
| MattH | Plus, I love to program. |
| Elais | what else do you program? |
| MattH | I have programmed just about anything in MS Office, plus my personal programming language of choice is Delphi. |
| MattH | I tend not to finish my own programs...I lose interest easily... ;-) |
| Elais | I have the same problem |
| Elais | C++? Cobol? |
| Elais | just finished watching 'The Inside' |
| MattH | I've done a little C. No Cobol. I use PHP on my website |
| MattH | How was it.? |
| Elais | it was alright |
| Elais | didn't sink it's hooks into me, but if there is nothing else on tv to watch |
| Elais | might as well watch this show |
| MattH | If there is nothing else on TV to watch... |
| MattH | I turn it off ;-) |
| Elais | turn it off? |
| Elais | there's an off switch? |
| MattH | Yep...but you have to press it... |
| Elais | perish the thought |
| Elais | how are the D&D sessions> |
| MattH | It went fairly well last weekend. I have finished the recap, but haven't uploaded it yet. |
| Elais | will you be putting up this week> |
| Elais | week? |
| MattH | Yeah...probably tomorrow. Definitely by Saturday night. I need to convert and upload the chat transcripts to. |
| Elais | I'm sure other people are eager to read our chat transcripts *g* |
| MattH | Then I have to work on the adventure for the June 18 game. |
| Elais | busy little boy aren't you? |
| MattH | Keeps me out of trouble. |
| Elais | what trouble would you have gotten into? |
| MattH | I don't know - I was kept out of it... ;-) |
| Elais | did the presentation go alright? |
| Elais | from last week? |
| MattH | I understand so...we went from a 33% chance to get the account to a 50% chance - or so the risk manager we were presenting to said. |
| Elais | wow, they rate presentations by percentages? |
| Elais | did you get a 2% bump for smiling? |
| MattH | Just this particular risk manager ... |
| MattH | I didn't actually see the presentation myself. |
| MattH | Anyway...I need to go. I'll see you next week, although I may be late if the dental appointment runs long. |
| Elais | so you just worked on it? |
| MattH | Yep - Just worked on it. |
| MattH | I've had my fill of presenting... |
| MattH | Anway, CYA next week. |
