Today I took a journey to Oklahoma, our friendly neighbor to the North, to see the medicine man about a toothache. Not really a medicine man but, kind of. I am 1/8 Chickasaw Indian (can you tell?). The story is that our tribe has made so much money on... you guessed it CASINOS that now we can get free medical services from the Chickasaw Nation.
This is all true.
So bright and early I left my papooses (or babies as the white man says) with my mom and I drove to Oklahoma. I got a free checkup and a referral for a root canal, crown, and wisdom teeth all for FREE! I am so excited! Don't laugh. Should I feel bad that I am benefitting from my ancestors oppression by the white man?

How 'bout you?
ha ha-when I saw your post, it was title only and so I thought you were just getting feedback from people! :) Ok, so is it only Chickasaw that can benefit? What a great thing to be able to use, cause root canals and crowns are not cheap here!!!!
Hello! I found your blog from Kelly's Korner. I was perusing the posts about SUYL Nursery's and saw boy/girl twin and was immediately drawn to it. I am almost 18 weeks pregnant with b/g twins and am having a hard time finding/deciding on gender neutral nursery decor. Then, when I made my way to your blog, I discovered you two met in College Station! My hubby and I are both Aggies and lived in CS for 3 years after we were married. Lastly, we prayed for many years for children and went through all sorts of fertility treatments. We are now pg via IVF and couldn't be more excited (and a little scared) about TWINS!!! It's always nice to find others who have a similar story as yours!
You should not feel bad about having a free dental check-up because not all people can avail that one of a kind dental service. I may not have experienced free dental check-ups, but luckily, I still have a very healthy smile because I regularly go to a dentist in my hometown of Hattiesburg. Dentists there are nice actually and in Hattiesburg, MS, dentist services are great and affordable too. Lucky also for me!
