It's a little funny to me how many people I am related to have wikipedia entries.

There's my great-great grandfather, Marcus Wilson Acheson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Wilson_Acheson

My great-grandfather's first cousin, Edward Goodrich Acheson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Acheson (nephew of the above)

My great-grandmother's first cousin, Frances Parkinson Keyes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Parkinson_Keyes

My grandmother Dod's first cousin, Adolf Augustus Berle, Jr. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Berle

Nobody on my mother's side at all, as far as I can tell; I know a lot about her family history, but nobody seems to be Wikipedia-level.

What's it about? What it's always fucking about around here, folks - dentistry. Casper went in today. At her cleaning 5 months ago they said she had one cavity. We switched dentists (for various unrelated reasons). These ones say two crowns, possibly root canals, and 8 additional fillings, and sealants, and the treatment plan comes to more than $2000. WTFF? We JUST paid these people $1000 for Dillo's fillings. How can she have developed this much more tooth decay in 5 months, during a time when we have been working pretty hard to brush teeth appropriately? This is the kid who cooperates! Who brushes her teeth and has been to the dentist regularly! And had clean checkups until that one 5 months ago. How did we get to 2 crowns?

mr. flea, who did the honors this time, was too stunned to do much but make an appointment.

AND I can't even post about it on Facebook because my mother is there now and we lie to her about this. Because I'd never hear the end of it, otherwise. She is EXTREMELY holier than thou about dentistry, being married to a dentist.
