Watch the marathon of the Groundhog Day movie, look up trivia and goofs from the movie and check their veracity. After all, it’s on 13 times. If you miss it the first time, it will be back around again.
Very educational.

How to Afford Dental Care
I recently wrote about my tooth problems and now I have to do something about it. I don't have any extra money right now and I don't have dental insurance (which isn't really all that helpful anyway).
There is a dental school at UAMS in Little Rock that offers $25 cleaning and $25 full X-ray and other services. This is done by students, of course, but they are knowledgeable and supervised.
I imagine there are schools like this all over the country. I don't have any fear of dentists so it won't be a problem for me, but I could see how some people would be more nervous to go to someone who is less-experiences. Well, I think of it this way - when I was a student teacher I didn't know everything but I asked a ton of questions before I did anything I wasn't sure about and was obsessive about doing things exactly right. I gave each student a lot of individual help and attention because I still had the time, enery, and passion to do so.
They don't do restorative services (fillings, crowns, etc.), but I called my dentist's office and they said they would accept the X-rays that I am having done at UAMS. That will save me quite a bit of money and I may actually be able to afford to have the work done soon. I can also afford to now get my teeth cleaned as often as I should.
