The price of gold

[bassboogieman]

Price of gold is affecting EVERYTHING. Yesterday I went to the dentist fot the prep work for a crown, ie - drilling and grinding. Last crown I got, and I have severall, was about seven years ago and cost around $500.00, that's a chunk of change for anyone just for a fake tooth, but I had insurance and they covered 80%. I still have dental insurance (guess I'm lucky for that) but I did ask how much this tooth would cost and what my insurance would cover. Good thing I was sitting down, I should have taken a hit of nitrous as well when I was told $990.00 - for one small tooth, not a molar but something called a bicuspid. Insurance - yeah they pick up a whopping $470.00 leaving me with an out of pocket expense of $520.00. So when my wife came home I told her to be sure and get my teeth (crowns, the others ain't worth crap) back from the mortician, probably a couple grand worth of gold in there now and the price keeps going up and my teeth keep going bad - maybe I should just consider this an investment.
