Hayseed Dixie--an embarrassment on so many levels. My granddad, who did real Dixie, Bluegrass and Country, along with my uncles, aunts and my mother, are probably rolling over in their graves. The band was talented on guitar & banjo, though.

A lot of snowbirds around here go to Algodones, Mexico to get their dental work done. (Also to get their meds.) It's 1/10th the cost. I had my 2 front teeth bonded there. My dentist wanted $900--there it was $80.

Reading these posts bout racc*ons I was surprised to see (as I did before on my post about the same referring to the skunks post) that this site won't let you spell out rac****. Apparently that is because some use that as a slur against black people.
