A person who specializes in something can be called a specialist. Then you have people that lobby called lobbyist, bicycle riders called bicyclist and ah, you know how it goes.

Anyway today we're going to visit a guy that makes huge dents in wallets which allows him to be known as a dentist. Usually only a routine check unless he has his yearly
neighborhood assessment coming up on his mansion in Florida, a Hummer payment or he needs to fill the gas tank in his automobile.

No, he is really a nice guy and doesn't actually bend us over a barrel. He just sits us in a chair and it's a thing that we feel needs to be done.

As we'll be in Jeff City a 'MOM' visit will be in order. Depending on the dentist's financial need of the day we may be able to take her to lunch.

Don't know about going to the senior center tho because they've raised their price to $3.00 now. Some of their food........well, I thought the value with the $2.50 charge was pretty borderline.

I don't know, does it read like I could be a cheap-ist? Or would that be cheap-ass? How does furgal-ist read?

A "cheep" is a birdlike sound or peep, while something that is "cheap" can be a poor or very furgal person or only an embarrassingly stingy one.~Unknown
