"It's too expensive."
No I don't floss. I'm deeply sorry to break this news. I am ashamed. It's an emotional subject.
OH MY WORD, this is hilarious. I went to the dentist for the first time since 2007 just yesterday. I was terrified my teeth would liquefy in the chair. To my surprise the hygienist praised my teeth and oral hygiene (um, flossing once a year here)and I had zero cavities. The dentist did recommend I get a crown on a tooth that I broke like 6 years ago (nothing new) and BRACES! I almost died laughing thinking about my 15 year old self in braces. I don't think I'm going for it.
Aren't we so grown up going to the dentist on our own? Except my husband had to make my appointment or else I probably never would have gone!
I was intrigued by that but I heard it sprays back and covers your bathroom mirror in water droplets!
DeleteGet the water pik that hooks up to your shower, then you don't have the mess in the bathroom. Also, about flossing, I keep floss ~everywhere~ (handbag, end table, night stand, etc.). You don't have to floss when you brush, you can do it when You're watching TV or you tube, someone else is driving, etc. you get the picture.
DeleteIt does spray back, but only if you watch yourself in the mirror. Flossing scares me, sometimes it gets stuck, and well, some places are hard to floss!
Get the waterpik and use it over the sink, with your mouth open and head tipped downward, for drainage. Make sense? Hopefully. :)
This is hilarious! I'm the complete opposite.. I thought for YEARS I wanted to do dental hygiene until I went and observed & a lady comes in who hadn't been to the dentist in quite a few years. Her gums were bleeding so bad I was completely grossed out and hung that dream up real quick! Side note: I am a stickler with brushing, flossing, and mouth washing. lol. Just get in a routine at night and it is MUCH easier. It literally takes me 5 mins and now if I don't do floss and mouthwash my mouth does not feel clean. ha! Glad you survived! :)
ReplyDeleteI went for the first time in years on Tuesday. I thought the same exact thing, that I would have a mouth full of cavities. And I myself don't floss ever except the day of my appointment to try to fool the hygienist. Apparently it worked this time because she praised me on how well my teeth looked.
ReplyDeleteStory of my life, Kate! I haven't been to the dentist in that long too (probably longer) ever since I was told I needed my wisdom teeth out. Nope. Not going to the dentist again. Well, I had my wisdom teeth removed last year (piece of cake). A few weeks ago, I had throbbing pain in my mouth, well what do you know? Root canal time. Joy! Note to self: just. go. to. the. dentist.
ReplyDeleteConfession...I have not been to the dentist in oh, say 30 years. However, for the past 10 years or so I have flossed religiously. Every.Single.Night.
Cause about 10 years ago i was saying to my husband..."No matter that I brush my teeth at least 2x a day, my breath stinks!"
He responded..."Start flossing."
I did right then and there.
Within 10 days...no more stink breath.
Now...if I could only get up enough nerve to get to a dentist.
hehe! I love this! Sooo my thoughts when I finally went to the dentist last year for the first time in probably 4 years. I think I stretched the truth on my paperwork and said it'd only been about a year and a half. My hygienist....is my former college roommate. I can't lie and tell her I floss because she knows full well that I do not. She tells me I need to and lets it go, and gives me a cute goody bag of tooth swag. She is very gentle but it does feel like there is a razor in my mouth sometimes. Probably because I'm terrible.
ReplyDeleteSo, I've had issues too. But when I went to the dentist six months ago, my gums were bleeding so badly they told me I may need to come back every three months. Up until this time, I brushed in the morning, brushed in the evening, and flossed if I really felt it was necessary, or I was going to the dentist the next day. They were willing to give me one more chance, and here's what they told me to do:
1. Brush with my electric toothbrush. We've had the Oral B toothbrushes for a long time. I just didn't use it much. With the Oral B, it times your brushing for you so that you know your brush a full two minutes.
2. Floss with Glide. Others have said, and I would agree, it makes all the difference.
3. Rinse with Listerine mouthwash. This was the new thing for me. So, it has to be Listerine because of the anti-microbial kill everything quality of it. Swish a little bit in your mouth for 30 seconds, if you can. It kills. But, it's a good kind of kill because you know it's killing stuff that you want to be killed. Then spit it out. But here's the really new part. Don't rinse. This helps keep killing stuff all night long.
So, I went back to the dentist last week. I cannot tell you the amount of praise I got from the hygienist, the dentist, the receptionist. No bleeding. No scraping. I'm sold.
Hi, I am a Hygienist nd I have people come in all the time in your boat! You're lucky that you didn't have decay. :) The one point I try to tell my patients is that the first time after so many years is the hardest but if you go back every 6 months or at least once a year then it's easy and you'll actually enjoy going. Try the reach flossed, stay away from listerine (high alcohol content dries the gums out) and don't bother buying a waterpik unless you have periodontal disease which I'm sure you don't or they would have told you. Traditional flossing once a day should be enough. Good Luck and be proud of yourself! That first appointment is always the hardest.
ReplyDeleteI can also relate to your dentist story! I have had horrible experiences going to the dentist since I was young. I had a lot of teeth surgeries (implants, bone grafts, tmj surgery) and after all that it was about 5-6 yrs before I started to go regularly again.
I get such bad anxiety, I have the "death grip" on the chair arms, and I do tend to stop breathing when the hygienist starts with that awful gum scraping (then I get scolded that my gums bleed... Hmmmmm). But I prepare for the worst too, like having to have teeth pulled, millions of cavities filled... I just dread the day I need to go in for a filling.
But, I'm glad I'm not the only one with fears and issues when it comes to dentists!
I just went to the dentist yesterday, no cavities!! I may have lied to the hygienist though, because I said I floss 4-5 times a week. Ahem. Feels like the time I told my doctor I eat salmon once a week.
Kristina does the Internets
Congrats on no cavities! I'm curious though-does your mouth feel sore today after the cleaning?
ReplyDeleteOk, Seriously you have had me belly laughing the whole time while reading this. This story is so me. I am so afraid to go to the dentist so I all together just don't go and then when they ask me questions about my dental habits it is a constant back and forth in my mind on what to say. I so afraid of what they will do to me. Bahahaha...Thanks for the laugh this morning.
ReplyDeleteAs a hygienist I can tell you flossing is very important. And nothing can quite replace it. Water picks don't reach where the floss can an neither can a toothbrush. I'm sorry you don't enjoy the dentist, Kate. :( I don't really either but what we do for you on cleaning your teeth aids in your entire body staying healthy! Keep going It will be worth it, I promise!!!!
ReplyDeleteKate, you are so funny! You crack me up! I was 24 the first time I went to the dentist. The second time...I was pregnant with my third child and when she laid me back in the chair, I passed out because the baby was on my main blood vessel. I left there that day with no cleaning and chocolate in one hand and chex mix in the other. LOL! Congrats on not having 19 cavities..or any for that matter! Have an awesome day! Julia
ReplyDeleteOMgoodness! Your poor teeth!!! I am def not the world's best flosser, but I brush my teeth twice a day (most of the time). I don't mind going to the dentist much. Don't get me wrong, I don't look forward to it either...but I am very fond of my teeth and would like to keep them until I die :) My lack of "angst" could also have to do with being 31 and only having one cavity...ever. Thanks Mom&Dad for taking me to the dentist twice a year and giving me lots of milk :)
ReplyDeleteAs a non-flosser for most of my adult life, I bought a bag of these:
...and have now become a flossing addict!
AND, the pre-gingivitis I was having has now disappeared completely.
You can find them at Target, Wal-Mart, etc. Keep stashes of them in your glove box, purse, jeans pockets, eew! and use as bookmarks so you can floss while you read.
Sounds gross I know, but try them! You'll find your own flossing patterns and will soon develop a habit. It's totally worth the feeling of accomplishment the next time you lie in the chair with the bright light.
Kate, your hilarious, gushing, confessional might be your best blog post yet.
Happy Flossing!
{{* *}}
I agree with Laura above about the floss picks -- for some reason, having to pull out the floss, wrap it around my fingers and "get in there" to all of my teeth made me hate flossing. Then I tried these floss picks (I use the Oral B type) and now I floss every day! Mostly... :)
i also haven't been to the dentist in 6 years (though i purposefully tell people it's only 4) BECAUSE i dread the flossing question. and i do floss sometimes, but not nearly enough to make a difference over the last 6 years. maybe i don't have any cavities either and should just bite the bullet (carefully) and go? thanks for the push.
Haha! I LOVED this! The last time I went to the dentist (which was already a year ago)I hadn't been in about 6 or so years either...it's true, you just look back and you're like, Oh my it's been THAT long! *mouth dropping open* LOL! I was also afraid of having a zillion cavities, but I didn't have any either! But I didn't have to get my wisdom teeth out...but I knew that going in...they were really a "pain"! haha get it?
ReplyDeleteI'm good about going to the dentist twice per year, I actually love the feeling of leaving with a super clean smile. They always ask whether I floss. And I always say no, I'm really bad at it. I think that makes them floss extra hard when I'm in the chair! And then they always tell me I have beautiful teeth. I know it's important, but I think it will probably take some major damage to happen first before I actually find a way to commit to flossing!
ReplyDeleteFebruary is national children's dental health month and also PET dental health month! Make sure your kitties' are getting proper oral hygiene, too! (yes, I do work in the dental field...is it too obvious?)
Glad you went to the dentist - I hope many of your readers are encouraged to go as well! A lot of dental issues can be prevented with regular check-ups and proper home care.
Great post! I hate going to the dentist too (even though I worked for one for 10yrs!) but I do go every 6 months as recommended so I figure my teeth get flossed at leat twice a year :-) And, I do try to get a few extra flossings in between appointments, but I can never find a good time to do it.... don't want to smear lipstick all over my face during the day and the bathroom is so far away from the couch in the evening.
Your picture is super adorable.....maybe I need to start taking my own photos in the car...great lighting!
Ack! I love my dentist and my hygienist (I see the same one every time because until I found this dentist I had severe anxiety attacks about the dentist due to a bad experience) but I don't like GOING to the dentist.
So I floss every night before bed because I have experienced having a cavity between my teeth filled. It was not pleasant AT ALL as they had to nudge my teeth apart to fill it. So I do highly encourage flossing. Find one that you luuuuuuuuv (I like kids' floss and minty glide floss) and make bed a reward for flossing ;-)
As a hygienist, I need to respond to the Glide comments. While it is a great product if you aren't going to use anything else, I want to point out how to use it to be effective. Glide is made to slide OVER the teeth to get into tight contacts. it take over 10 strokes with Glide to clean the same stuff off a tooth that 3-4 strokes from unwaxed or 5-8 strokes from waxed floss would. So if you can't get anything else between your teeth, make sure you scrub at least 10 times per tooth (thats a LOT!).
I see lots of people that don't tell me the truth about how much they floss and we know ( :-) ). Nagging does no good, nor does judging. Teaching does! The swelling after that cleaning comes form additional red and white blood cells helping to fight the infection that has been brewing from bacteria that we disrupted for you to give healing a jump start. If you keep up with flossing after the cleaning, the swelling will go down faster and stay away (good news!)
So after all that, your post still cracks me up. Before being a hygienist, I was in the same place, thinking the same thing and then feeling the same thing after. I found flossing IN the shower the only place I remember to floss daily. Good luck in your recovery! And don't stay a stranger from your dentist!!
I honestly would rather visit the dentist every six months for cleanings then go to the salon for a hair cut! Way less anxiety! My hygienist is friendly and has a great "bedside manner" In my opinion this is hard to find. My first visit with him, he asked if I drink soda and floss. Yes and No, respectively. Ugh! The horror! But to my surprise he was like "floss, but they are your teeth not mine". He told me about (and gave me a sample) of these flossers by G.U.M that look like little trees. :) I LOVE them and they are easier than actual floss. Here's a link to see what they look like. http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/G-U-M-Soft-Picks-with-Travel-Case?skuId=815136
Happy Flossing!
You are so funny to share this story, Kate! I'm glad your check up went well. I have always been afraid of the dentist (full death grip to the chair throughout any procedure, even a cleaning). I've always been a good brusher, but not a flosser. Until I got married, and now my mother-in-law is my hygienist! I can't lie about flossing to her! So I bit the bullet and started flossing immediately after she first cleaned my teeth. I hated it at first (it seemed like such a time-consuming hassle), but after a while it just turned into habit and now I can't go to sleep without flossing. So push through it, and keep it up for your pearly whites!
(P.S.> there are often coupons for $1.00 off Reach floss, and you can pick up the plain floss for free! I've found for myself that the fancier floss isn't worth it. Flossing hurts at first because your gums aren't used to it. They will eventually settle down.)
My dental hygienist has been after me to floss for YEARS. She even threatened me with a three month appointment and the possibility of losing my teeth down the road. Never fazed me. I'm even allergic to some of the anesthetics they use; they mess with my blood pressure and wear off quickly, so when I get those 18 cavities you were worried about (I actually had 4 they filled at once), it's just awful. Still didn't floss.
This last time, though, I don't know, it just clicked. I've been brushing with my sonic toothbrush and flossing every day for a month now. These chompers are going to be in tip top shape come my next appointment.
That was hilarious. Especially since I can relate a little. I recently went to the dentist for the first time in over two years. I knew they would ask how long it has been and I knew they weren't going to like my answer. No dental insurance was not a good excuse for him and he gave me the talk about how it is important even if I don't have the insurance, etc, etc. Can we say uncomfortable? No cavities for me either, so that helped me hold my head a little higher. I floss fairly regularly, but I started because I have an implant (was born without a permanent k9 tooth)and my dentist put the fear in me explaining usually the only way they don't last is because of decay caused by not flossing. :) I still hate it because it makes my cringe the have that stuff rubbing in between my teeth. It's like nails on a chalk board. yuck. Good luck with the flossing :)
ReplyDeleteI laughed as I read this because I usually think the same thing. I have finally gotten to a point where I don't squeeze the arms on the chair or my own hands anymore (thank heavens, I was getting out of control). I do go every 6 months and I dread it but it is much less time with the scrapy thing (my technical name). I also try to make sure I floss at least a few weeks to a month ahead of time to avoid the blood and pain.
Sadly your nightmare is my reality....only I visit the dentist very often, always have. I had infections in my sinuses that affected the roots in molars on either side of my mouth. The infection in my sinuses spread to the roots of these molars and killed the teeth. Two surgeries, bone grafts, implants and money that would have been more happily spent on things like clothes or shoes later, if you looked in my mouth you'd never know! Very jealous of your super strong teeth! -Katie
ReplyDeleteGirl, you need to floss! My friend's family goes to a really good dentist whose practices are much more thorough. My friend's husband didn't have any cavities, but... he had some live... stuff in his mouth. I'm talkin' amoebas. They put it under a microscope for him and everything! My friend refused to kiss him until his mouth was actually clean. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI HATE flossing. I was honest with my dentist (finally) and told him I hate the way it feels on my fingers or in my mouth. It give me goosebumps (I'm weird). So (like another person said) I use the WaterPik! I TRY and use it twice a day but usually I use it twice a week. The trick is to have the water hit perpendicular to your gums (so not straight down into them). If you have the water going straight down then bacteria can be forced into your gums and you could cause your gums to receed. Anyway, start at a low strength then work your gums up to the highest setting. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have put off the dentist for WAY to long as well. I think it's probably been 6-8 years since I've been. A good friend of mine was in the same boat, except that she went and then needed about $6,000 worth of dental work (think root canals, wisdom teeth removal, and more).
Now I'm thinking I should make a trip too....
OMG! I am so glad I am not the only person who does not floss. My mom still hounds me about flossing and my friends all look at me like a weirdo when they visit and ask for floss and I have to dig through tons of baskets of stuff to find my one lil container from my yearly dentist visit.
I am not opposed to flossing or anything....I just always forget about it. Somehow I will take time to paint my nails, do face masks, etc. but flossing is beyond me!
Your teeth look great though and I am glad you didn't have any cavities!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who gets the same dentist report! I must say, ever since I got those little disposable flossing sticks, I am hooked! It starts out as a murder scene in your mouth, but after a week of just using those sticks it doesn't hurt and I don't bleed. I'm actualyl excited to see my dentist again so they can see the difference!
Best $3 you'll even spend! :)
Aw Kate....I think I'm going to cry..sniff, sniff! I'm so sad you don't like seeing us hygienists...you would be one of my favorite patients too!!! I gotta just put in one plug for flossing...did you know that breaking up the bacteria between your teeth can actually add years (Dr Oz says 5) to your life because that plaque contributes to heart disease and other inflammatory diseases in your body? It doesn't just help prevent cavities and heart disease...it actually makes our immune systems stronger! :-) I know...we are a different bunch...but what would the world do without us???
ReplyDeleteI am cracking up! This was totally me a couple weeks ago. I do go every 6 months, but I have total & complete fear of the dentist and I go through everything you just explained twice a year when I go for cleanings. Why do they feel the need to ask if you floss? They can obviously tell! It's like they want to humilate you while you cannot speak! Craziness!!!! At any rate, glad you didn't have any cavities and survived! :)
ReplyDeleteI am laughing soo hard. I think we share a brain. I used to work for a dentist and I would be the same way...um really with the cold water? So...I discovered...they give happy gas even for just cleanings. Suddenly....my bad flossing habits and clenched arms and fear of dentures in the future just fade...away. Try it next time. Its a legal-knock-you-out-so-you-don't-care way of dental visits. Its awesome. haha. Now I totally sound like a druggy. I'm totally not. Oy...let me go focus on my cats.
ReplyDeleteLucky girl. I floss, use a sonicare toothbrush and have the worst cavities. It sucks. Everytime I go to the dentist I have a new cavity. Its so embarrassing. And every time the hygenist asks if I floss and I say yes and she always looks at me like I lie. LOL My teeth are just very close...like difficult to get the floss between them close. But they are perfectly straight and white...they just lack the ability to not get holey! LOL
ReplyDeleteHa! this post is so timely, I just had my teeth cleaned this week ; ) i totally did the ob/gyn thing..you know when you go for your "girl" visit and after the exam the Dr. says "ok you can put your bottom back on the table now" (am I the only one who tenses up so bad that this happens?) At the dentist I didn't even realize I had clenched/curled up my toes so tight in my uggs that my feet were all pins & needles and I literally almost fell on the floor haha!Oh the anxiety! I should probably learn to meditate or drink less coffee...
ReplyDeleteOh my, thank you so much for sharing this. I just scheduled my first dentist appt in 2 years yesterday. (switching dentists requires quite the hoop jumping).
I always try to floss but never make it past 3 days in a row. At that point, the throbbing gums keeping me from chewing food during the day and sleeping at night is so not worth it. I think the 2 years of painful braces is finally backfiring. I have [zero] tolerance for eternal pain in my gums.
Lucky you! I went to the dentist after a long hiatus and wasn't so lucky. I now floss (use floss picks, the silky kind) and brush with Sonicare toothbrush daily. Every once in awhile I use Crest Pro Health mouthrinse. I have gotten great check ups since. My hubby flosses daily and got me into the routine. The floss picks instead of regular floss make all the difference for me, especially the silky kind. THey just glide through my teeth. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteTwo thoughts and i hope you read this. First Congrats for no cavities!!! I was SO happy the last time I went and only have ONE! (after 4 years of avoidance). Second, FLOSS GIRL. FLOSS LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. Trust me, I never flossed and I had some serious gum damage - reseeding gums, at a young age. TERRIFYING! They talk about exactly what you feared... no teeth dentures unless I turned my shizz around. After getting a serious deep tissue cleaning around my teeth and gums, I was fixed and good as new but the stipulation was I HAD TO FLOSS. HAD TO. EVERYDAY! NO IF, ANDS or BUTS!
I've haven't looked back. If you make it a habit it's quick and easy. Seriously, I floss every morning. I get out of the shower, clean off any left over make-up, put on face lotion, and then floss, then brush and rinse my mouth. It literally takes 2 minutes maybe 3 to floss. Or you could do it before bed. I just like to get it over with so I don't forget.
Congrats again on the great check-up!!! AND remember if you floss everyday, dentists appointments become LESS and LESS painful and you have LESS blood loss. Trust me, it's amazingly different when taking care of your gums. :)
I just got back from my cleaning - my hygienist said "looking good" when she saw my teeth. Me - "I haven't been taking care of them, I just jacked up my sonicare to high speed this morning". (a trick that works every time). At the end, she asked if I needed floss. I said no, I'm not going to use it anyway, and I have a stockpile at home. She said "ok, see you in 3 months". Perfect visit to the dentist LOL
ReplyDeleteThis may have already been said, but I'm going to just post it because I don't want to read all 100some comments lol.
Get those plastic flossers in the bag, rather than the big string. You know what I'm talking about? Where there's about a one inch string of floss on a plastic handle. Way less awkward, way quicker, way more likely to actually do it. I'm terrible about flossing, but I've been trying. I'm finally to the point where I'll do it AT LEAST once per week. And it's only because those things are so convenient lol. I shoot for more often, but hey progress not perfection right?
I had my teeth cleaned last week. No cavities for me either! They kept gushing over how great my home care routine must be because everything looked great. Confession: I rarely floss. Like I only floss when I actually feel something stuck in my teeth, not just to get out the everyday gunk that gets up in there. I don't even use mouthwash all that often (which they said is what saves my husband. He's religious about his Listerine rinse). I did have to have a bunch of dental work done over the past few years, though. I had a lot of cavities after getting my braces removed and some were bad enough to need root canals (fun!). Now I'm all healthy and sparkly and have them thinking I floss when I really don't. Like everyone else, I know that I should. Gum health is important, but apparently I'm getting away with not flossing for now. I feel like an evil genius or something!
ReplyDeleteOk, congratulations to you and all that, but things like this actually annoy me. I faithfully brush my teeth morning and night, floss daily, and use mouthwash... And I just found out that I have to have one of my teeth pulled (the same one I had to have a root canal and crown on) and two teeth filled again, simply because my old dentist didn't listen to me when I said something didn't feel right with it. I now have a new dentist (who unfortunately had to break the news to me), and definitely learned to not let your dentist ignore you. Just thought I'd share that with you because really it has to do with the amount of a type of bacteria in your mouth that also determines how prone you are to cavities, and that NEVER let your dentist ignore your concerns.
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked that you didn't have some kind of gum disease - you must be one really healthy lady! I never floss & went to the dentist (for a regular 6 month checkup) and had the beginning of some form of gum disease and was so mad! I had to get them deep cleaned which means they numbed me (so not fun!) and dug around to clean them (even more not fun!). You are so lucky that you came out alive - I loathe the dentist! I don't blame you for avoiding them for 6 years, it's awful!!
ReplyDeleteKate, I love this! I, too, hate to floss and just don't take the time to do it. I get jittery ever time I have to go to the dentist, and I go every 6 months. And every 6 months there is massive blood loss and reprimand by my dentist. I am praised, however, on how healthy my teeth are...never a cavity. I just don't know how to bring myself to floss!!
ReplyDelete1) you have a beautiful smile
2) I am a hygienist and it's so funny when we ask people if they floss... because we can tell. We already know the answer. The only reason we ask is so you know we know! haha
3) Flossing more often will make your whole experience at the dentist a lot less uncomfortable
3) I personally like using floss picks. It's much easier to reach the back teeth and you don't have to to stick your whole hand in your mouth.
Soooooo Funny! :)
Hi Kate! I'm not in the dental industry but one of my good friends is a dentist. Like Lauren said 2 comments above, don't bother lying because they can tell just by looking! At my last cleaning the hygienist could even tell where I started brushing my teeth because the gums are slightly receding there. Crazy that she knew that!
I never started flossing regularly until a different hygienist told me that flossing helps to get rid of bacterial secretions that will erode the enamel. If someone would have told me that years ago I would have been a flosser so much sooner!
You're so lucky! (Yes, I'm serious)
I went for the first time in October after at least 10 years of not going to the dentist. I'm terrified of the dentist! (His profession... and what he was going to do to me... not him personally). Come to find out, it had been so long that they wanted to do a root/deep cleaning. I'm not going to lie... I cried.
But I just finished my second of two appointments yesterday... and I survived! Needless to say, I'm going to the dentist more regularly from now on.

You are so VERY lucky! I didn't have a dentist growing up and when I went for the 'first' time (in about 6 years) I had 15 cavities. It has now been 5 years and two weeks ago I finally got the "you should be good for the future now". I still have a hard time flossing but at least I try!
Good luck at the next appointment!
Good job, Kate! I took my son to a new dentist today...only 6 months after his last appointment...because the old dentist had such a heavy accent I couldn't understand him and my son has a gum degeneration issue...yada, yada, yada. I was convinced we were going to have to drop massive cash to fix it, I would be told I was a horrible mother for having a child with such rotten hygiene, etc. Turns out, he had almost no plaque (glory be!) and the gum problem is genetic (thanks, hubby!). So it was all good. But my son needs to floss, too. I'm sure he got the flossing habits from me. I only floss the week before my appointment... ;)
HAHA Kate, this is my story a year ago - to a T! It had been 7 years ago for me, and I was convinced I was going to have a zillion cavities. None for me as well, but it was terrifying!
What?? The 90s are that far back??!!! Those elementary/middle school years don't seem THAT long ago!
I had a similar experience but didn't get off as lucky as you did. (I have soft teeth or some nonsense).
However I now try to floss more often and these little floss sticks are wonderfully easy to use and can be found at any grocery or drug store.

Wish me luck! I have my appt. with Mr. Dentist today at 3pm. And I haven't flossed regularly either. But I do go to him 2x a year. This is my first time this year. Yayyyyy! no...the guilt trip about not flossing lasts ... until I leave his office. Then I tell myself I have 6 months of flossing until the next appt.
I totally started freaking out when I started reading this post! I haven't been to the dentist in four and a half years either (so not quite as bad as you, but still ;))!! I know I need to go but I'm really scared I'm going to have 19 cavities too. Thanks for the inspiration, I really need to bite the bullet and just go.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny to me! I'm a hygienist & I've heard every excuse under the sun as to why patients don't floss! What always gets me is the people who lie and tell me they floss when it's obvious that they don't. I'm not blind! If your gums are sore, rinsing with warm salt water rinse will help to heal the tissue. And if you get in the habit of going every 6 months, the cleaning will be quicker and your gums won't be as sore after! Flossing really is important! Once get in the habit of doing it, you cannot go to bed without. It feels so nasty to have that funk between your teeth.
ReplyDeleteKate, you are really cute. I hate going to the dentist too. But I do want to share something with you that might make flossing/going to the dentist/dental hygiene just a tad easier for you. Women with gum disease take an average of 2 months longer to conceive. Also, pregnant women with gum disease have a significantly higher risk of miscarriage and premature birth. It sounds weird but it's true. So you did good by going to the dentist but keep it up. It's worth it!
ReplyDeleteI am one of those who goes to the Dentist religiously. My parents didn't go much as kids (parents couldn't afford to) and they have bad teeth. So, my Mom ingrained in us from a very young age that going to the Dentist is very important. I'm lucky in that I have a fantastic Dentist right now and going is something I honestly look forward to. Oh, my. I know that sounded insane, but, I promise, it's true!!!! Every.single.person that works in the office is gold. Seriously. I mean it!
ReplyDeleteI am the WORST dental patient in the world. I have true anxiety about going in for a cleaning, so I totally understand where you're coming from. The irony for me is that my mom was a hygenist, and I grew up and married a dentist! Ha! My husband's advice about flossing, which, by the way, I hate to do, is "Floss the teeth you want to keep!" Thinking about it on those terms helps motivate me to floss.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I have company in how many people haven't been to the dentist. It had been 5 yrs for me until last year. The problem was I had the same hygienist for 14 yrs and then we moved 500 miles away. To far to drive for an appt! I will definitely get better at flossing. I like the glide and use the little disposable flossers, but only abut 2x week.
Thanks for your wonderful post!
Hi Kate! I'm a dental hygiene student and I tell my patients to floss BEFORE brushing because it helps get you into the habit of flossing. When you floss before you brush, your teeth still feel dirty and flossing allows for the bristles of your brush to reach where they need to better! Just a little tip that lots of my patients say have helped them floss on a regular basis. Also, if you only want to floss once a day, do it at night before bed! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you overcame your fears! :) I work at a dental office and never realized before I started in the field how important flossing is. It's not just to keep your teeth clean - it really affects your over all health. More and more things are being proved or at least linked to oral health, including alzheimer's!
ReplyDeleteI am also a hygienist. We know people lie to us.I always double the amount of time someone tells me it's been since their last dental visit. I usually cut in half the amount they say they floss. Consider yourself lucky to have no decay-2 thumbs up! But more common is tooth loss due to periodontal disease. It is a disease that has no cure, only prevention, treatment, and maintenance. So floss and brush as babysteps.....go crazy and add some Listerine (there is a non alcohol version) . I can't tell you how many times I have heard "I wish I took better care of my teeth "..........

Cosmetic Dentist Las Vegas
I went to the dentist for the first time last month. I was on YouTube and came across http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1pn7t3YZ1Y and I thought to myself I really need to go to the dentist so I decided to call them and go and to be honest it wasn't that bad at all. I thought it would be a lot worse than what I thought it would be but I enjoyed myself very much.
ReplyDeleteThis is completely true. Everyone is having the same experience as you were having near the dentist. Enjoyed on reading your experience with the dentist. Thanks for sharing this. Miami Dentists
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight you provide to the readers about cosmetic dentistry.I like your blog information.That is Great post.
Dentist clinic in Mohali
Argh. I think I might have you all beat. I changed jobs 9.5 years ago and lost my dental insurance. I haven't been back to a dentist since. Now I'm scared to go. The last time I went to the dentist, they were trying to think of things to do, like cap molars that had the old silver fillings, since I had no other issues but I had the insurance money. So, I could luck out this time, also. I haven't had any bad experiences at the dentist, but the one dentist I absolutely loved, moved his practice -- which makes for even more of an excuse, I think. (sigh)
ReplyDeleteI'd be trampled if all sites gave articles like these awesome articles. Taylors SC Dentist
This is so funny. You have a gift, I wish I could have such hilarious stories! Glad your teeth are doing well. Thanks for posting so cute story.

I do enjoy the manner in which you have presented this specific matter plus it really does offer me a lot of fodder for thought. On the other hand, coming from everything that I have experienced, I only hope when other reviews pack on that people today continue to be on issue and not embark on a tirade involving some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this exceptional piece and though I do not concur with the idea in totality, I respect your standpoint.

Shame on you for avoiding the dentist for as long as you did, and not flossing regularly. I think you must have great teeth genes and fluoride must be in your water system. I am not as fortunate as you and go regularly. There was a time I missed for 1.5 to 2 years and my luck a nasity cavity was created. I am very apprehensive and extremely nervous going to the dentist, but it is one of those things I know I have to do - reluctantly.
If your teeth and dental hygiene are not healthy and in good condition it is not recommended to use any of the best whitening toothpaste products.
Always check with your dentist if you are unsure. While whitening toothpastes are great to brighten up your smile,
to keep it that way you must maintain consistent and proper brushing habits.
This in fact is as important if not more important than the toothpaste itself.
Dental Implants Las Vegas take well care of your teeth by providing the source to whiten the teeth,etc. They give the best Dental Implanting.

You are here: Home
Are you considering options to stay involved and be connected when you retire? The MIAMA Retiree Alumni group might be right for you.
MIAMA is constantly evolving, constantly bringing new ideas and new people into the industry. Along the way many any of us have retired or are soon to be retired; moving on to a new time in our lives. This can be a time of giving back, giving back some knowledge of what we have learned, much of it the hard way, to a new generation of industry leaders.
MIAMA has recently done away with districts and this may open an exciting time for those of us who would like to participate yet in the industry. We can offer our experience and share our common sense of how we successfully did things in the past, to blend in with the highly educated and motivated youth taking up the management duties of our beloved industry.
The MIAMA Retiree Alumni group allows those who sign up to attend the MIAMA Spring Workshop and the Fall Conferences. There will be opportunities to visit rinks and share ideas. This is a relaxed volunteer group meant to keep the ideals of the past generation alive and have an impact on the next generation.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
The Minnesota Ice Arena Manager's Association is accepting applications for the 2014 James Padgett Award. The awards will be presented at the Spring Workshop in May to a facility that has distinguished itself as a leader, innovator and contributor to the ice arena industry.
The award is named for James Padgett, a former arena manager of the Miner's Memorial Arena in Virginia, Minnesota. Jim was a respected arena manager, active in promoting the arena industry, one of the earliest members of MIAMA and unfortunately died unexpectantly in the early 1980's.
This is an excellent opportunity for your facility to be recognized by your peers, supervisors and community. The recipient will be presented the award during the Spring Workshop at the Chaska Community Center. A letter describing the award and its significance will be sent to your City Council, governing board or supervisors.
The MIAMA Board believes that it is important to recognize the accomplishments of our members. Many of the arenas have improved the operations of their facilities by adding programs, being creative in scheduling events, modifying equipment, providing innovate training programs or means of maintaining the facility. Please tell us!
The facility receiving the 2014 James Padgett Award will also receive two(2) 2014 Fall Conference Registrations and lodging (double Occupancy).
Please consider submitting an application. The deadline for applications is March 21, 2014.
The Minnesota Ice Arena Manager's Association will be providing up to 4 grants to the 2014 MIAMA Fall Conference, September 2-5 at Breezy Point Resort, Breezy Point, MN.
The grant is available to any 2014 MIAMA member arena/organization's full or part-time employees who are not normally provided the opportunity to attend our conference. The grant includes the registration fee, double occupancy lodging and meals.
We encourage employers to distribute the application to qualified candidates. This is a great opportunity for persons with an interest in the arena industry to meet arena people, learn about the industry and expand their knowledge.
The Conference Grant applications will be due by March 21, 2014. The recipients of the grant will be announced at the Spring Workshop.
MIAMA Board of Directors
We are continuing to see a change in MIAMA once again as long time arena managers and staff are retiring and others are moving to new positions. In 2014 we have been informed of at least three retirements within our group including Gary Pietig from Apple Valley, John Hack from Superior , and Kevin Madsen from Willmar. And this past year we had a number of retirements including Paul Ostoff,-Mankato, Steve Olson-Litchfield, Mark Clausen - Fogerty in Blaine, Mike Brooks - Hudson, Mike Mattson- Ramsey Co. Sliv McGree - Hastings and John Linstad – Highland. We also had a manager, Brandon Klement – Richfield, move to Texas with his family to begin a rink supply business.
With retirements come new opportunities. Here are some of the recent changes, Chadd Benson takes over as Manager at Litchfield, Jeff Elliott takes over operations in Hastings, Brian Christensen (formerly of Lakeville) at Forest lake, Joe Bergquist (formerly of Breezy point) takes over at Highland, Kris Weiby (formerly of Burnsville) takes over at Richfield and Rob Hall takes over at Fogerty and Barb Bergquist takes over at Breezy point.
If I have missed someone who is planning to or has retired let me know as we want to acknowledge each members years of service. We also want to have arenas acknowledge and welcome new Full time employees to get their names out within the membership.
Let's march through MARCH!
As March rolls in most are wrapping up the peak season filled with games and tournaments galore. March is also a good time to finalize spring and summer project plans and to take a break from the action. A few days off might do every one wonders especially at this time of the year. Coming back refreshed can go a long way to reviving morale. Don't forget about rewarding staff for their extra efforts during the grind of the season.
Many rinks have great part time staff members who work hard and close the arena at midnight many nights a week. And many have staff that open at 530am on weekends getting busy days started on the right foot. These Part Time staffers are so valuable to arena operations and to those on the outside many good part time and seasonal arena personnel often get overlooked. Rewarding these staffers can be simple like going on a paid field trip to a few other rinks and having a lunch away from the arena or inviting them all to the Spring Workshop to be able to mingle and enjoy a day with pay away from the pressures of the daily operation.
A couple items of MIAMA business of note in March.
Items of interest for the membership in march include Regional informational Workshops regarding Freon R-22 phase out on March 11th in Mankato, March 12th in So. St. Paul or March 13th in Virginia. RVSP due by March 4th. Check our website tabs to find out more. The Alan K. Payne conference Grant applications and James Padgett Award applications are due March 21, 2014 also on the website.
What's new at Bielenberg Sports Center.
Here at Bielenberg Sports Center in Woodbury we are undergoing a number of changes. Our $25M expansion project is going through the final four month push with the targeted opening date of July 4th.
The expansion includes a hard sided field house building with a full football/soccer turfed field and 50' ceiling ht. There will be a large new lobby space connecting the field house to the two existing ice arenas. It will have two levels with viewing into each rink and the field house. The second floor will include a full service restaurant complete with grab and go food and beverage service and a sit down sports bar with liquor limited only to a restricted area on the second floor. Also included within the expansion is an outdoor refrigerated ice rink which will have clear dasher boards and be used by skaters and hockey groups during the winter and other activities including pickle ball during the summer. The expansion is funded by the City of Woodbury and will not have additional tax payer impact. We will be certain to have MIAMA members here for tours and possibly an event at some point.
As part of our changes at Bielenberg Sports Center we welcome in two new Full Time employees, Katie Broderick is our new Facility Operations Technician, a position created when John Harrington departed in December and Shelley Cotroneo joins our staff Full Time as Administrative Assistant after serving in a part time roll for two years. We may be adding another maintenance position and various part time positions in fall 2014 as our new operation reaches peak season.
Got anything new to share?
As always if you have news for the membership or see a story that might be of interest let me know and we can turn it into a Newsblast for our membership. If you have something unique going on at your facility or in your community that lends itself for the membership let me know and I will follow up.
Don't forget to reward your staff and enjoy the change of season if and when it comes!
Think spring!
Dave Black BSC Woodbury – Newsletter editor
The 2014 MIAMA Spring Workshop date and location has been set. The Workshop will take place at the Chaska Community Center, Chaska, MN on May 6, 2014. More details will be out shortly.

Happy Friday! Today's the last in our series of great DIY holiday (or anytime!) gifts and crafts with Mandy of The Fabulous Baby Striblings. On Monday we covered a No-Sew Growth Chart, and Wednesday, an adorable Hair Bow Holder. Today, Mandy shows you how to take family photos and turn then into a lovely DIY canvas art!
Typical 8×10 photo canvases are $30-40 each, so this is a marvelous idea for your own home or as a gift!
Supplies you'll need
4 canvases ($8.99 during a buy one, get one free sale)
Two scrapbook pages (2/$1).
4 8×10 pictures printed at Walgreens ($11)
Mod Podge
Paper cutter
Prepare the sides of the canvas
I first covered each canvas with Mod Podge. Then, I cut the strips of paper, and pasted them onto each side of the canvas. (cut the strips and the photos a teeny bit shorter – you want there to be white space)
Prep the photos
Then I turned each picture over, coated it with Mod Podge,and carefully applied it to each canvas and smoothed everything out very well. Then I applied Mod Podge to everything. (It's white, but dries clear)
Sponge paint the photos
Then I took a dry sponge and "sponged" paint onto the white areas of the canvas and along the sides of the picture to kind of "blend" it together. It's supposed to look antiquey and shabby chic. The tutorial used black – I used white, but you can use any color I'm sure.
Then let dry! All in all, it took about 2 hours to complete.

UPDATED - 1/10/13 - Finally did something about the white outlets. I took the extremely lazy way out. I had some GIK 244 traps that I no longer use and covered up the outlets. I have to admit my motivation was so I'd stop getting the suggestion to change my outlets to black or paint them, but I do find that I really like the all black look up front.
UPDATED - 12/23/12 - bought some new speakers - JTR Noesis Left, Right, and Center. Sold my eD Cinema 12's LRC to Archaea.
LOVE these speakers. Quite an over the top investment for me, but I think I'll have these for life.
Also bought the stands from JTR.
-edit- why do the links show and not the actual pictures?? Oh well, I'll post pics at the end of the thread too. Here is a link to the post with the above pics:
UPDATED - 9/9/12 - added pics and the end of the post, I recently upgraded to 7.1 from 5.1.
This is my escape from the girls. Hey, I love my wife and daughters (3 and 6 years old), but it's great to have my "own room".
We've lived in the house for 10 years, originally it was 2 rooms. I was super motivated when we moved in and I immediately tore down the wall to make it one big room. It used to have a drop ceiling which was a rattle nightmare, now that I have drywall I'm down to hardly any rattles.
Speakers: Elemental Designs Cinema Series - 12's for front and center, 6" rears
Subwoofers: Seaton Submersives
Receiver: Pioneer Elite vsx 53
Sub eq: Velodyne SMS-1
Blu-Ray Player: Panasonic something or other.... I need to upgrade.
Projector: Epson 8350
Bass Traps: GIK Tri Corner traps, 2 in each corner.
Here is the bass freq response. The higher line is program 2 on the Submersive, the lower line is program 1. Program 2 is supposed to give a 3db boost down low, looks like that's the case.
Above is after using the sms-1. I need to find the graph with the speakers on...
UPDATE - 9/9/12 - went from 5.1 to 7.1. I kept the original surrounds speakers in the back and they are now the rear surrounds and bought 2 new speakers for the side surrounds. I love the results. All speakers are eD Cimema 6".
I moved the subwoofers to one corner stacked and made some speaker stands for the speakers

A few months back I bought a '68 F250. I've been using it as my daily driver while the Ranger is laid up and it's been a fun old truck, but there were a few problems with it, some due to its having sat for ten years before I bought it.
When I bought it, it had a stock Motorcraft 2-bbl carb on it, and it turned out to be the wrong one for the truck. It was jetted too lean and wouldn't run decent unless I had the choke part way out. I then hit the local wrecking yard and scrounged up a practically new Holley 4412, a 500 CFM 2-bbl which I bolted on and found an immediate improvement.
But not being one to leave anything alone for long, I soon began to want more and had visions of a 4-bbl lurking under the hood. Now there just happens to be one, a brand-spanking new Edelbrock #1405 600 CFM mechanical choke 4-bbl. And this is the story of what I had to do to make that happen…
"How hard can it be to swap on a new carb," you may ask, "and why would I need to read an article about doing it? I can just bolt the thing on and go, right?"
Well, there's a bit more to it than that and I want to lay it all out for you here. Now, I probably would have been content to do a simple carb swap and leave it at that, but since I had a stock cast iron 2-bbl manifold, I thought I'd take the opportunity to swap that out for a 4-bbl manifold and do some under hood clean up and detailing at the same time. But that's another story.
So let's assume that you already have a 4-bbl manifold in place and the next step is to install your new Edelbrock carb. First you have to choose the right one for your application. My truck came with a manual choke stock so I wanted to stay with that and the 360 FE is also bone stock, so a 600 CFM should be just about right for it.
The Edelbrock carb comes neatly packaged in the box you see here, along with sufficiently detailed instructions for even the novice installer to comprehend. There's also a nice little owner's manual that details the inner workings of the carb and what you can do to custom tune it if necessary, but it'll often work great straight out of the box.
It also comes with a new base gasket, air horn gasket and piece of 1/4" all-thread for an air filter stud, and a little bag containing various goodies such as vacuum caps and a tee, a 1/4" plug for the brake booster port, and a linkage ball.
There's no substitute for planning ahead, so inspect everything carefully and try to determine what additional parts you're going to need in order to complete the installation, so you can get everything ahead of time and save on trips to the parts store. (Unless you happen to live next door to one...wouldn't that be cool!)
Before getting started with pulling your old carb, you need to determine if your distributor vacuum advance works off of manifold vacuum or ported (also known as timed) vacuum. With the engine idling, pull the advance hose off of the carb fitting and hold a finger over the fitting. If there is vacuum present then you have manifold, or full vacuum to the distributor. If there's no vacuum however, then you have ported or timed vacuum, which comes into play as engine speed increases. With this determined, go ahead and yank the carb.
First I installed the pipe plug in the brake booster port at the back of the new carb since my brake booster has its vacuum source on the manifold. Be sure to use thread sealant here.
Next I installed new studs on the manifold using shorter ones than the originals, since I would no longer be using the heated manifold spacer. I would be using a 1/4" insulated spacer, and took that into consideration in determining my stud length. Edelbrock recommends using the supplied open gasket only with an open-plenum, single-plane manifold so I used a 4-hole spacer. Be sure to check it for fit against the carb to make sure the holes are the same size as the carb ports and that the secondaries will open.
Next I set the carb in place to check for clearance and reach.
The throttle arm would need to be lengthened so I dug into my stock of parts for a longer one. You can see the difference between the two arms in the pic below; the longer replacement arm is installed on the carb while the old shorter one is laying on the manifold below it:
Then I moved on to the choke cable. The old one was held on to the carb choke linkage by a setscrew, but the Edelbrock carb has just a small hole in the linkage, which necessitates a double bend. Not hard to do, but if you have a small engine shop nearby they should have special pliers which crimp that little double bend into place, they may be willing to do it for you if you feel like taking the choke cable out of the truck and taking it in to them. I didn't, so I just bent it myself. Not as clean or as tight as the special pliers will do, but serviceable.
Then, simply thread the cable end into the linkage and secure the housing in the clamp, making sure to check the throw of the choke knob for proper action and adjustment.
Edelbrock also specifies that a new filter must be installed or the warranty on the carb will be void. Mine was replaced soon after I got the truck running, but I knew it'd had some bad gas run through it since then so I bought another filter. My old 360 has the cartridge-type filter in a canister on the fuel pump which has a lot of filtration surface area, so I didn't feel the need to add a second in-line filter. Edelbrock also recommends installing new spark plugs at this time.
Another consideration came in the way of the fuel supply fitting on the carb. The supplied fitting takes a 3/8" hose (although a 5/16" can be stretched to fit), which comes straight into the passenger side of the carb at the rear.
The stock fitting must be cut off the end of the fuel line and since there is no flare to help hold the hose in place, I used two clamps. I like the little spring clamps, they have good holding power and are impossible to over tighten. I also used new hose here.
If you stay with the stock air cleaner it should clear just fine, but if you go to a low-profile type air cleaner then you may find you have an interference problem. I did, so I got this nifty little adapter with a banjo fitting to reroute my fuel line, and it has the added benefit of giving a cleaner look to the installation.
From this point on there are just the little details, such as routing of hoses, etc. You can see I used a nipple to connect two different hoses together so I could use the formed PCV hose I already had, and then I hooked up the vacuum advance hose to the timed vacuum port on the front of the carb (the one that has the cap on it in the picture). I also took this opportunity to replace the PCV valve, getting rid of the rusted antique that used to reside in the breather.
Once you've double-checked all your connections, crank the engine to fill up the float bowl and check for leaks at the lines and connectors. Once you've got fuel, it should fire up. Let it warm, and adjust the idle speed if needed. Once it's warmed up, adjust the mixture screws as per Edelbrock's instructions, install the air cleaner and you're ready for the test drive!
Right off the bat I could feel the difference. The throttle response was excellent and I could detect no flat spots. It definitely has more power; in fact it's a challenge not to break the rear tires loose on hard acceleration. And of course there's the sound of the secondaries opening, that good ol' 4bbl roar.
I'll have to give it a little time and get a few tanks of gas through it while I check my mileage, and of course that won't be great till the novelty wears off and I start to drive sanely again! And of course I'll need to read the plugs, but it feels like it's pretty close right out of the box, just as I'd been told to expect with this carb. Overall, I have to say I'm quite pleased.
Hopefully, you will be too!

My husband Kevin and I both had heard of people substituting cauliflower for potatoes in their mashed potato recipe.
At first, I wondered who would do such a thing? That is absurd. Mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes -- that's a good old fashioned dish that shouldn't be messed with.
But the idea eventually wore on me, so we decided to give it a try. I just kept telling myself that even though it looked like mashed potatoes, it wasn't going to taste like it. It's all in the mind right?
I researched online several different recipes and among all of those recipes were a lot of comments. People added in their suggestions, what they would or wouldn't do next time, and how they would add or not add certain ingredients.
I read stories of moms "tricking" their families by placing a big bowl of smashed cauliflower on the table instead of the normal loaded mashed potato side dish. It appeared that most people were pleasantly surprised with the dish.
It seems that someone, in need of a low-carb recipe, came up with the idea. By replacing the cauliflower in the recipe, you take out the majority of the carbohydrates in your dish.
I saw several different versions of this recipe on some diabetic sites and low-carb sites, as well.
Try this recipe out, and see how you like it. Kevin whipped up a fairly basic recipe, but feel free to add to it. Some recipes suggested using fresh garlic cloves, paprika and chives. Also, instead of cream cheese, use sour cream or Greek yogurt.
I have to say, I can't wait to have smashed cauliflower again.
If you decide not to tell your family you are switching the ingredients, email me and let me know their responses.

Sources of lost-worktime injuries and illnesses
April 04, 2001
Floors and other surfaces, worker motion or position, and containers were the sources of close to half of the occupational injuries and illnesses involving time away from work in 1999.
Floors, walkways, and ground surfaces accounted for 16.0 percent of lost-worktime injuries and illnesses, and worker motion or position accounted for about the same proportion (15.7 percent). Containers were the source of 14.4 percent of the injuries and illnesses resulting in time away from work.
Among other sources of injury or illness were parts and material (11.3 percent), vehicles (8.1 percent), machinery (6.7 percent), and tools, equipment, and instruments (6.2 percent). The remaining sources each accounted for less than 5 percent of the total: health care patient (4.3 percent), furniture and fixtures (3.4 percent), and chemicals and chemical products (1.7 percent).
These data are a product of the BLS Safety and Health Statistics program. The source of an injury or illness is the object, substance, exposure, or bodily motion that directly produced or inflicted the disabling condition cited. Additional information is available from "Lost-Worktime Injuries and Illnesses: Characteristics and Resulting Time Away From Work, 1999", news release USDL 01-71.

I wonder how Bill Murray would feel about this shirt. My assumption is that he would hang his head sadly, thinking of all the great comedies he's created, all the cinematic art he's been involved in, and wonder where the new generation went wrong that suddenly, unofficial merchandise from things that already exist is considered art. -

Sweet shirt, but not something I'd wear. Fortunately this is a good thing for me, as I've ordered too many shirts this week X_X. -

CHICAGO -- Expressing confidence but leaving nothing to chance, President Barack Obama indulged his superstitions by engaging in a traditional Election Day basketball game with friends as the race that will determine his political future was finally in the hands of voters.
Obama headed for the hard court after he gave a final exhortation to his volunteers to get out the vote, voiced optimism about his chances and congratulated rival Mitt Romney on a "spirited campaign."
"I expect that we'll have a good night," he said.
Obama gave the campaign one last push Tuesday morning by visiting a campaign office near his South Side Chicago home.
Thunderous applause from about two dozen volunteers, many with tears streaming down their faces, greeted Obama. Removing his suit coat, he sat down to make some calls to volunteers in neighboring Wisconsin. "Let's get busy," he said.
"Hopefully we'll have a good day," he said on one call. "Keep working hard all the way through."
Speaking to reporters afterward, Obama said: "We feel confident we've got the votes to win but it's going to depend ultimately on whether these votes turn out."
He said he knows Romney's supporters are "just as engaged, just as enthusiastic" as his own and congratulated the former Massachusetts governor "for a hard-fought race."
Obama spent the day in his hometown, making his last appeals to voters during a round of satellite interviews with TV stations in swing states rather than a final flurry of campaign rallies.

Side effects of radiation therapy greatly depend on which part of your body is being exposed to radiation and how much radiation is used. You may experience no side effects, or you may experience several. Most side effects are temporary, can be controlled and generally disappear over time once treatment has ended.
Source: National Cancer Institute, 2007
Some side effects may develop later. For example, in rare circumstances a new cancer (second primary cancer) that's different from the first one treated with radiation may develop years later. Ask your doctor about potential side effects, both short and long term, that may occur after your treatment.
