We're a very unstuffy bunch here, to be honest. And while I'm an archive mod, I'm also an author on the site, so I really do get it from both perspectives. I see my role as a mod as helping members figure out the site, and explaining what we require, more than being a disciplinarian.

I remember when I was growing up that the stores put out Halloween stuff in mid October. After Halloween, they marketed Thanksgiving, with cards, pretty serving dishes, hostess gifts, table linens. It was pretty neat. After Thanksgiving, the Christmas stuff went up. There was no two-month ramp-up to a holiday that's become largely secular, after starting out as a perversion of a very sacred time of year for those of us who celebrate things a lot older than Christmas. Let's put the Mithras back in December, folks, and bring back the Solstice vigil, and the Yule log.

Lisa, you are just a very dedicated reader!

Ah, too bad, then. Besides, it'd be hard explaining an adopted child who's older than you are.

Adopt me?

The first thing I'd do is look for a dental college/school. I know at least here, the senior students need actual patients to work with, and their work is supervised by their professors, who are accredited dentists. The cost can be a fraction of what you'd have to pay otherwise. It might also be possible to find a dental clinic at a hospital that offers lower cost work. The sad truth is that even if you're lucky enough to have dental coverage as part of your insurance, it rarely pays enough to cover the cost of a single root canal. My plan has a cap of $1500 a year for dental. NOT hard to burn through that, even at the plan's allowance for dental procedures. I'm just lucky I have a dentist that accepts what the plan pays and doesn't ask for more.

That's fine, and thank you!

I have a feeling that the pop-up interrupted the posting process. Your questions certainly aren't stupid - it always takes a bit to learn how a new site works. You can find Les Miserables in Books > Titles in the Public Domain > Les Miserables. That link will take you right to the section where the stories exist on the archive. I don't see your story there, which is why I'm presuming the pop-up short circuited things. I'd suggest trying again, and seeing if you can get through the process without Microsoft being shirty again.
