A China crisis? Now we're scenario planning potential crises.

In July 2018 China's economy falters sending shockwaves through the global banking sector. Commodity prices plunge and the world faces its first global financial crisis since the meltdown of 2008.

Yes... gotta sell those newspapers somehow.

I haven't read the mainstream media for about a year now.

Likewise, and I'm much happier for it.

As for the predicted China crisis, all I can say is - save up for the sales 😈

Another dud link... perry I think I need a tutorial

It may be a matter of what device you are using. The way the link was styled as you posted it, it seemed to come from an idlepad or idlephone. (iphone or ipad).

It should auto-magically become a valid link when you key or paste it in to your [Quick Reply] composition area. As it is not behaving as it should, try this: at the left hand end is an icon / button with the letter A appearing twice, separated by a slash. Click once on that. The background colour of that icon should change to blue.

Try pasting the link in when the icon background colour is blue. Then click [Go Advanced] (underneath the composition window) and see if the link looks like it's valid in the [Preview] window. If it is, the link should be blue and clickable (the mouse pointer changes to a hand) and there should be a few dots in the middle of it.

And remember: to err is human, to really muck things up takes a computer.

Dental crisis

Given the costs involved, I tend to sympathise with the notion that dental work is now almost a luxury.

I had tooth pain a week or so ago, so went to the dentists. They had to replace a filling. $335.

Ok for me, but I couldn't help thinking, what if you are living week to week and had to suddenly come up with $335? You wouldn't be able to...

Currently waiting for teen daughter to get 3 wisdom teeth

and a molar, pulled under General A.

$6800 if no complications

because it was 4 at once

and teen girl

they felt it really had to be under GA

which probably doubled? the cost

as the staff and time spent doubled?

no doubt there were cheaper options

but none of the specialists involved

were mentioning them

or costs much at all

ie $300 for 15sec? MRI

just to make sure the nerves were where they should be

Ouch! and OMG!

I agree with your sentiment but i can't help thinking a $5 spent on toothbrush and toothpaste and the investment of 2-3 mins twice a day is a great investment.
