  • using fluoride mouth wash longer then expeded, will that help the re-mineralization?

    will this help the re-mineralization procees of my teeth and my tooth enamel or would it have the adverse effect? constantly have cavities no mater how much i brush with stannious fluoride toothpaste using an electric toothbrush, fluoride coated floss and sodium fluoride mouthwash, which i do faithfully every day, twice a day, i have never missed one night of it and im still getting on average 6 cavities a year, ive tried staying away from sugary foods, acidic foods, avoided brushing my teeth close to when i did have anything that could possibly have acid or sugar. my dentist doesn't see the need to prescribe me additional fluoride that i would get at the pharmacy, nor does he do a fluoride treatment, or he might i just don't remember him doing so.

    heck ive occasionally rinsed my mouth out with peroxide, its a debribing agent and i figured bacteria can hide within the skin cells and this would get the loose skin cells off and kill anything underneath it, ive stopped this practice though, now only use it when i have cankers

  • why is it that parents seem to think its somebody else's job to raise and teach their kids?

    so there are thousands of different examples of this but im going to focus on a few.

    first, in my town i live in currently i used to go to the park where there was a little stream that ran through the park, it wasn't very deep but it did become deeper during the year. about three years ago a kid drowned in it because the parents were not being observant enough and were not watching their kids, those parents and others demanded the city to fill it in and divert it from going through the park. not only did they do so but the parents filed a lawsuit and were given hundreds of thousands of dollars. i don't understand why the city did this, its not their fault the parents were not watching their kids.

    another one is, there seems to be more and more kids shows teaching their kids so they can park their kid in front of the tv for hours and hours to "learn" when i was being raised (born 1992) we did have tv but my mother never let me watch more then 30 min a day as a child. she taught me everything or my grandparents but i didn't learn from the tv. just because its easier doesn't mean its right to let your kids learn by tv

    third, my mother always complained about shows like family guy, american dad, Simpsons etc as being bad influences, but in reality i heard just as much swearing from my mother and family. ive caught my mom having sex plenty of times so i don't see why she said this

    i know parenting is hard but you don't become a parent because its easy.

  • is there any way to speed up nerve regeneration?

    long story short, i had a herniated disk and disk spur in my T11-12 area of my spine, according to the doctors less then 2 percent of herniated disks happen here. i went into emergency surgery and had it corrected but i have had nerve damage/bruising on the nerve, i can't feel my legs. Is there anything i can do at home to help my nerve regenerate, im taking a one a day vitamin with folic acid (supposedly helps) and i bought a bottle of Christopher's ear and nerve formula which according to the herbalist helps with nerve pain and regeneration, can i do anything else or is it just a waiting game, they told me it could take 2 years and i can't wait that long, im in a lot of pain. ive been told also that its 1mm a day 1cm a month but hoping to speed up the process other then Methylcobalamin, im already going to ask my doctor about this, its experimental so im not sure if its even a possibility

  • should you pour off excess candle wax when the flame seems small and dim?

    my glade candle worked for several days before it acted like there was too much wax, the flame became smaller and now it looks like its going to go out over the smallest wind. do you pour it off? or is there something else i can do.

    the only upside is it smells a lot better then it did when i first started burning it.

  • how far do we have to move our motorhome?

    so we got a note on our car from the police stating we have to move our vehicle as per springville code stating.

    "(6) It shall be unlawful for any person to park or leave standing on any public road, street or alley any motor vehicle or trailer for forty-eight (48) or more consecutive hours or for twenty-four (24) or more consecutive hours during the months of November, December, January, February, and March, and any vehicle or trailer so parked or left standing may be impounded or removed by the Chief of Police. For purposes of impoundment and removal, the Chief of Police may, after making a reasonable effort to locate the owner, impound and remove any motor vehicle or trailer which reasonably appears to have been unmoved for forty-eight (48) consecutive hours. The cost of impoundment and removal shall be charged to the owner or any person who claims the impounded vehicle."

    we live on the corner of center street so only have one street we can park on (it is illegal to park on center street) and have no driveway. what are our options, the motorhome is licensed/registered/insured and nobody lives in it, we use it during the summer for camping. How far do we have to move it? can we just pull it a little way down the block?

    legally we can park it in front of our neighbors house (public street) but are not sure how far we need to move it or if we can get a permit etc. the lady we talked to was very rude, she was acting like we broke some major law. our motor home has been there since last may and have never received a ticket until now.

  • is there anything i can do, maverik scam?

    essentially i bought 25 dollars worth of gas but when i checked my bank statement it said 45, i have scoured my car for a receipt and can't find it, im going to search tomorrow when its warm but im not sure im going to find any. the thing is my truck doesn't have a tank big enough to take 45 dollars worth of gas and i don't buy anything from them other then gas. do i have any option, or just never go to them again. would they be able to pull up a receipt, the pump stopped at 25 so it would have had to have been after drove off or something.

    i have a mazda b2600i, with a 12 gallon tank, at the price of 2.77 cents at most it would have been 33.24 i would have to have a 16 gallon tank to hold $45 and i don't.

    do i have any option? my only proof is my 14 year old sister was there and saw the pump stop at 25.

  • spoiler alert, i have a question about the new MAMA movie?

    SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    don't blame me if you continue and it gives something away.

    MAMA presented by Guillermo del Toro,

    so im confused on the single part. when the girls walk down the stairs, they see Annabel and lilly looks into the opposite room, MAMA is floating, her sister says don't look at her she is mad, she looks back at her sister and when she looks back at MAMA she attacks them. im confused as to why she randomly attacks her kids, the people she is protecting, did i miss something, i know she was getting mad at Victoria but why would she attack Lilly too?

  • obama's recent speech, 12/28/12?

    so im literally confused. Obama just came on the tv and did a 5-10 minute speech but im lost.

    he talked about how our paychecks are small already and after the "fiscal cliff" it would go up making our checks smaller and he is trying to fight that but my issue is obamacare. if he was worried about our paycheck he wouldn't force us to spend 1000+ dollars a year on health insurance. is it just me or is does he sound like a hypocrite.
