As many of you know, we are in the process of building our "dream home"... a log home, no less.

So we've been out of town the past couple of days enjoying our first-ever Log Home Show!

(They're few & far between, so if you're planning on building a log home, and you can find one in your area, then you must find a way to work it into your schedule.)

Anyway, the one that we went to was at Pancake World... I mean Pigeon Forge, TN.

Been to Pigeon Forge before? Did you ever notice that there's a pancake restaurant on nearly every corner? Sometimes... two... on the same corner!

Here's more about the Log Home Show in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Well, it was on this same trip that I learned what a hotel snob Jim is!...

What I've learned:
If you're going to have your old silver fillings replaced with nice white fillings (also known as "composite fillings", "porcelain fillings" or "tooth colored fillings"), be prepared for a series of Crowns and Root Canals in your immediate future.

Here's how things went for me...
I had good dental insurance, so I thought I'd take the time to replace all of those old silver fillings that I'd had since childhood with nice new white fillings.

The goal: No more mouth-full-of-silver whenever I smiled big.

The reality: Serious dental work in every quadrant of my mouth.
