...So the person at the dentist's office that's been helping me out with all this suggested I call the dental plan and see if I can get an idea of how much they cover and how much I've gotta pay. I call and speak with someone who says that the dentist office needs to call their authorization number to get that, and no I can't give them the fax number to fax it to, a different department handles that. So I call the office back, relay the information, when they say they did that already, explained that I ran into similar situations in my last job, and suggested relaying who I talked to, when I called, as sometimes that does the trick. She said she'd try again and call back and let me know.
So the wife and I go to see Superman Returns, given what all's been going on, forgive me if I don't do a review (hopefully somebody on the Internets will do one) But I verified a comment I made earlier that how you like the film depends on how you like Superman: The Movie, given that it is presented as a continuation of that film. However, the wife started getting bad gas while watching it, which is something that hasn't happened in awhile, and we came straight home, she took some Gas-X, ate a small supper, and is resting as we speak.
From our "oh, yeah" department: Late last week, I got fed up with eating cheeseburger happy meals (and understanding how Morgan Spurlock felt) and getting repeats on the Cars happy meal toys, so I went on eBay and snapped up the rest of what I wanted at a reasonable cost, factoring in cost of the meals (in my area about a dollar more than just buying the toys themselves at the Mickey D's) gas and not having to eat another happy meal. I got Sally, Flo, the Ramone yellow variant and Fillmore.

Re: ...And Missed the Fire (But It's Awful Warm)
Sorry to see the other problems persisting.
We got out to see Superman Returns, too, and as you say it draws strongly on the theme and feel of the 1978 movie, though I found it much more enjoyable. There wasn't a hint of the sense that the filmmakers were embarassed to be making a Superman movie (something I definitely got from the earlier films, which were so almost unrelievedly hokey), and we actually had a Lois I could understand Clark/Kal El falling for. Not a true surprise to be found in the 2 hours 38 minutes, but still a very enjoyable film. Plenty to kick around in the details, but with most of our usual, small group of readers not getting out to see it yet I'm not rushing to post them. That said, I can't be the only one who got as strong a... Christly theme bleeding from various scenes, can I? I will also note that it apparently builds on at least one significant plot thread from Superman II, too, though Singer decided not to belabor the details and pointedly kept away from any reference to Zod and friends.
