my mom needs help getting her mouth fixed up, a wishadoo! request:
"I am in dire need of an upper denture and lower partial. The complete cost will be close to $9000.00, to include the prep work needed before I can be fitted. I do have dental insurance but it has a $1500.00 per year limit. I did start taking early Social Security to help defray the costs; however, it appears the game rules have been changed. I was told I neednt' worry about the usual requirement of 50% down. The person I initially conferred with told me she had spoken with her boss and the boss had ok'd the payment plan I'd offered.
That same person is now saying she never told me that, she'd never spoken to her boss, leaving me to believe they are expecting me to sit, toothless, until July, 2014, when my next dental insurance benefit year begins. I certainly would have never gotten my teeth pulled had I been told that in the beginning!"

we know that it is the holidays and that times are tight for many people, but any small bit would mean the world to her. my husband lost his job a few weeks ago, so we can't offer her any help.
her mouth was making her so sick before the extractions and i just want my mom to be well. she jokes that all she wants for christmas is her two front teeth and i hope that can come true for her.

11. Crap.
I'm so broke, right now. But, I'll keep this in mind if I find some extra cash laying around after I pay bills this week.
One DUmbass sorely missed here but forgotten by the DUmmies is ThomWV, who pulled his own teeth and wore them on a necklace.
He'd be memorialized in the Dead DUmmy forum if Skimmer had kept his word to the CalPig.
This DUmmy could be ThomWV's successor:

14. Tell me about it...
.. my teeth are about gone.. got one left in front on the uppers, a few in front on the lower and the back.. like holiow tree stumps.. rest have broken off below the gum line. no insurance, no dental school.. plenty of pain tho. I make do. But good luck to her, she has a path.
DUmmy Rosco T. is tired of the bar scene, so decided to troll the DUmp for women.
He's not a very nice guy, but he's got a smile no one ever forgets.
Uh oh, first hint of a problem for fizzgig's scam:

16. I can't understand why it will cost $9,000 for dentures.
I went to a local dentist here in North Georgia because I will be needing upper and lower dentures very soon. The price quoted me was $3,000. This is a very popular local dentist and my neighbor went to him and got dentures for only $495. I will need extractions and that is most of the cost.

29. Ever heard of Florence SC?
They have a world reputation for dentures there...people come in motorhomes and stand on lines to get denture work done there. People say that getting the work done there...the difference is the cost of a vacation...google
If fizzgig can fleece the DUmp for nine grand she'll have a nice vacation.
