Ok. It’s not as exciting as saving the whales or the pandas, but at least this campaign will have direct measurable results.
What I am trying to do is get 30 friends to pitch in $50 to my “Save the Molar” campaign.
Why? I need a root canal. I had a tooth that was bothering me and went to the dentist and dropped $1600 for a visit, some x-rays, a crown and an evaluation by an endodontist, and there was a very good chance that all I was going to need was the crown, but in the end I am going to need a root canal to stop my head from feeling like I have an ice pick being jammed up into my eyeball.
So far I have 2 pledges from 2 friends.
What do you have to lose? Well. ok. $50. It’s a very good cause, though. At least I think it’s a very good cause, but I understand I have a very biased opinion in this regard.
You won’t get any fancy return address labels, free magazine subscriptions, a juicer, a toaster, or a free set of steak knives. You will definitely get a smile or few and my eternal thanks.
If you are ready, willing, and able please do drop me a line if you don’t already have my contact info…
oh…and a Happy Inauguration Day to everyone!
