Pecan harvest! Yum! Do you make pies, roast them, or just eat them au
naturale?
I did some rearranging of my front room and moved the big barrister
bookcases to another room. Underneath them were about 30 cat toys.
I've had a cracked back tooth for almost 2 yrs now waiting to get an
overlay
or crown. My insurance just this month finally kicked in to where it
will
pay half when I get it done; had to pay for the insurance for a year b4
they'd cover crowns. Still, they cost about $900 now, twice what I paid
the
first time I got one.
"Out of pocket" - to me, this means being short of money. What does this
idiom mean for you?
