Does anyone on here have the AARP dental insurance? Now that I've lost
a lot of weight and am continuing to do so, I need to get my teeth
fixed. They are a mess and since my heritage is British, I have crappy
teeth (Brits are known for that, BTW :) Or if anyone knows of another
plan that would be good for me since I'm on disability, please let me know.

We have dental insurance through Mike's insurance plan. Never wanted one in
the past as the benefits rarely seemed to exceed the costs, i.e. if we put
the cost into savings, we'd have the money to pay for the benefits! As long
as we have it, we've been using it to get me started on some needed crowns.
They only pay for cleanings twice/year though and our dentist has Mike on a
3x/year course. So look closely at the cost:benefit ratio before you sign
up. Also, make sure a dentist you like is on the plan. Oh, and do you have
a dental school in your area? If so, you might be able to get reduced cost
care there if you are willing to go that route.

On another note, I was accepted into a research program since I also
have diabetes. The local university is doing a study on strength
training and diabetics, so I get to work out 3X a week with trainers.
It's a great thing since it's all free :))

Wow! I'm envious!!!
