I'm going to take today off from running to concentrate on getting some errands run after work. Today is Joey's birthday, so I hope to be home by 6 or 7 so the house mates and I can take him out for a drink or two. We shall see.Work is going ok, I guess. In this department, there is a lot to know and much more work to be done for each individual project. I am highly dependent on my superiors f

There have been vast improvements in dentures since then, but this has had a negative effect on the world’s political situation. Now it’s much easier for world leaders to bite off more than they can chew.

Flossing your teeth every day could add 6.4 years to your life, according to Michael Roizen, MD, author of RealAge. In his book, Roizen lists flossing as one of the most important daily activities -- along with exercise and quitting smoking -- that could extend life span.Roizen's calculation may raise some eyebrows, but the idea that oral health is connected to overall health isn't far-fetched.The mouth, after all, is an integral part of the body. "Teeth have a blood supply, and that blood supply comes from the heart," says Richard Price, DMD, consumer advisor for the American Dental Association (ADA).Researchers suspect that the bacteria that produce dental plaque enter the bloodstream. They say these bacteria are somehow associated with the inflammation that occurs with plaque that block
I never would have thought Britney Spears would make it onto my blog, but I cannot help but wonder what is wrong with our society when I glance at the headlines of the tabloids in the grocery store. That America has a voyeuristic fascination with the off-stage drama of our stars is not so interesting. But the headlines Spears made in Star Magazine is rather disturbing (from memory, emphasis added):Britney Spears tells boys, "You were a mistake!" Makes out with guys in front of them, refuses to change their diapers, uses whitening strips on her teeth & more!That Spears appears to be an unfit mother has been made painfully clear for all the world to see. But OH MY GOSH! She uses whitening strips? The horror! I wonder what that will be worth on eBay?Britney Spears, Spears, stars, culture

Have you purchased a toothbrush recently? I made the attempt today, and though ultimately successful, it's a far more daunting task than I had intended to undertake. Presumably, there was a time when one and only one style of toothbrush existed. I imagine that the bristles were fashioned out of copper, carbon steel, or whalebone, but the fact that there wasn't a whole lot of choice in terms of what to wipe your pearly-whites with suggests an efficiency that seems to be compromised in this day and age. I can only assume that there are poor souls out there, so lost in the dental hygiene aisle, confused by the voluminous propaganda that would rival the misinformation in a good war, perpetuated by competing toothbrush brands, as to have their teeth rot out before they ever settle upon a tooth scrubber. Lessons from dental hygienists of my youth reminded me to buy something with soft bristles—but if this what's recommended, why do companies even produce medium or hard bristled brush
