Thanks for the dentist info. I'm keeping both my health and dental insurance through my ex's employer, and it has always been pretty good. I'll look into Dr. Burdette's office.

One door closes, another door opens!

Hi Linda,

Good for you! The hardest is over and now you can move on to those new beginnings and opportunities.

If you're thinking of switching Dentists, I recommend Dr. Burdette (Cosmetic Dentistry of Concord) 6 Loudon Rd # 202, Concord, NH - (603) 228-1066. www.smilesnh.com Try them out.

He is pricey, but if you have good dental insurance that helps a lot... his work is amazing! They manage to keep my teeth in shape and it is no small feat! ha ha

Joan Fitzgerald is my dental hygenist and she is awesome! If they're going in your mouth, you want someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. I needed a root canal last year, not good - but I was able to watch a movie while it was being done.. They've got a great setup, very comfortable for the patient.

Pretty neat.

Take care,

Judy

Hi Elaine,

I always enjoyed hearing your grandchildren playing in the yard. They have such a grand time!

Is You're Fired a ceramics place? It sounds fun. I may have to pop in there sometime. Thanks for the tip.

Linda

New Beginnings

Crystle and Thor told me of your 'doings' the past several months....so I had to check out what you have been up to. I always enjoy your articles. I was sorry to hear what you have been going through. I too miss my gardens, but Crystle is actually showing signs of interest in it now. Guess she was waiting for the kids to get a litgtle bigger. They have a puppy now too. My sister and I go to You're Fired in the Lamplighter Plaza every Thursday evening from 5-9 for ladies night. If you're interested why don't you to join us. It's the best therapy ever. Take care - Elaine

Well, the hard part is over. As of June 2^nd, I'm officially divorced. From now on my name will be Linda Thompson-Odum. I had to keep the Odum because that is the name I'm known by for my writing. It is the name editors look for, and students sign up for my writing classes because of that name. Maybe at some point I will be able to drop it, but I'll keep it for now.

As far as divorces go, mine was pretty easy. My ex and I agreed early on about the settlement, so we only had to go to court one time. The entire proceeding took maybe 15 minutes. Hum, 15 minutes to end a 14 year relationship. Seems a bit sad, doesn't it?
