  1. Like I always say, it's not what you do, but what you don't do that you usually end up regretting . I'd have to say, "Boy, I wish I'd never sold that house. That was a huge mistake."

    ^I'm trying to hang onto mine for that reason. California real estate is the best investment.

    I wish my car didn't have so many problems. It's my biggest purchase regret.


  2. That sounds really painful and scary. I guess that's what they used to do before there were dentists. It sounds risky, though. I'd worry about impacted teeth, infections, etc.

    We have government dental insurance through the state of California, and most private practice dentists won't take it because of low reimbursement rates. There's a dental practice issue, too. The government (tax payers) isn't going to pay for $600 caps. Some dentists won't pull healthy teeth if they can save a tooth with a cap, so they won't take the patients. It's a screwy rationale.

    Our dentists at the clinic take our state gov dental insurance. It's just basic care -- extractions, fillings and cleanings.


  3. OMG…I just had a high school English class flashback….lol. I remember someone in my class writing a paper about an Elton John concert for her “composition“ assignment….lol. Jeezz…he was so popular back then. I'm sure you were celebs, Toni...lol

    Your review is awesome, Teresa. What a great set list. I’ve always wanted to see one of his shows… "Your Song" is so pretty...


  4. ^So am I...lol <--

    that makes me a real pussy.
    Oh god....I stopped going to that board for the reasons you quoted from that book. I live in an area where people have some really diverse opinions about things. Acceptance is a part of life where I live. It blows my mind that people believe there's only one way of thinking about something -- theirs. I gave up on that place. I think it's a waste of time to fight about a single view as the only valid one, especially online. I don't know if those arguments mean anything other than what you get out of it at the moment. If it's negative or pulling you down, walk away from the computer, I say. Some people will never change their views. Some people get off on arguing. Whatever.. I'm not wasting my time over there.

    Emmie...I wish you lived L.A. (I think you're buying into an illusion created by the media....lol)


  5. Nah, I take it like a man, LOL! That adage has always cracked me up considering men can't take nearly as much pain as we women.

    ^haha....statistically, men are more likely to faint during a blood draw than women. I think it's because women see blood all the time..

    I don't mind it. You gotta take your medicine, right?


  6. Right on... It's going to take a lot convincing. He helped a lot. But...It's one thing to know about it; it's another thing to get the world to change. I can't even get my ex to recycle my cans...lol

    This is really interesting...

    "It is a question of war and peace," said Egeland, now director of the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs in Oslo. "We're already seeing the first climate wars, in the Sahel belt of Africa." He said nomads and herders are in conflict with farmers because the changing climate has brought drought and a shortage of fertile lands.

    Historically, "resources" have been one of the top causes of conflict.
