Lance Armstrong Turned Down Dancing With The Stars
By mj On 01/24/2013 · 21 Comments · In Dancing with the Stars
Bicyclist, Lance Armstrong's, high profile confession on Oprah
s OWN talk show, that he did indeed dope his way to 7 Tour de France wins has not deterred ABC from offering the disgraced athlete a spot on Dancing with the Stars. He declined. Via Entertainment Weekly:
Lance Armstrong may not be able to race the Tour de France again. But ABC definitely wants him on Dancing With the Stars.
Sources say the ABC reality hit offered the former professional cyclist a spot on the upcoming spring edition of the veteran reality series. Armstrong declined.
Confirmed Armstrong's spokesperson: "Lance has been offered the show each and every year since its inception. Although flattered he has passed on their generous offers."
Honestly, who would want to see that? Is there anybody out there still on Armstrong's side? Lindsey Lohan also turned down an offer to strut her stuff. I'm afraid to ask who else ABC is considering for the show.
What a shame. They (the cycling federation) should strip down Lance, 7 Tour De France title and demand he give back all the prizes money.
But of course, they probably will not do that. And a couple months later, Lance Armstrong will had a New York Times best seller autobiography book and the public will forgive him. (just like what Arnold did after his affair and his teenager son from his housekeeper, Chris Brown etc etc)
Yes, thats the power of being a man. I am not sure people will be so easily to forgive if a woman public figure do these kind of thing. ( doping, cheating, abusing etc etc)
Reflects On Life
I was in the triathlon community in the early to mid 90s, when Armstrong was making the switch from triathlete to pro cyclist. He was known as a first class prick back then (among triathletes). And nothing has changed. Best thing he can do to redeem himself now is to dedicate his life to his cancer foundation.
DWTS asked Ann Romney, but she turned them down too.
"Honestly, who would want to see that? Is there anybody out there still on Armstrong's side?"
I think that the only people who may have mixed feelings about Lance are those who have been helped by Livestrong, but since the board of Livestrong has asked Lance to sever his ties with the charity (after Lance only stepped down as Chair), it appears that they have realized that any further association with Lance will harm their organization and fundraising efforts. I wouldn't be surprised if Lance's confession has already impacted Livestrong in their donations. There are many other cancer-related charities where people can donate their money.
I was glad to see that Lance's interview with Oprah wasn't the ratings blockbuster that Oprah must have hoped that it would be, despite lame efforts to spin and the fact that he still lied.
I think that almost everyone had realized that Lance had doped after the USADA released their massive report on him with irrefutable testing results. The only thing I'm curious about is why Lance actually admitted it publicly now (without any remorse), after all this time. The statute of limitations has expired on any perjury charges, he's already lost all of his sponsors and I don't buy for a minute that he did it for his kids. I'm sure that he's writing a book, but how well will that sell? I guess that we'll find out soon enough.
I wish DWTS hadn't offered him a spot in the first place, so I'm glad he turned them down.
I used to cheer him on but he turned out to be everything I hate. It's one thing to lie about doping, but he took it to the most evil levels and ruined other people's lives.
I do not regret having donated to Livestrong, though. The organization did help a friend of mine.
"It's one thing to lie about doping, but he took it to the most evil levels and ruined other people's lives."
The threats and intimidations tactics that Lance used to try to suppress anyone who tried to tell the truth were disgusting. In some ways, that behavior was far worse than the doping itself. I hope that anyone he ruined will sue the pants off of him and win.

are tricky. They're good, real good until they sense you're on to them.
Then they turn threatening and violent. They will try to destroy you if
you get in the way of their lie. We are a culture that so loves to believe the myth we ignore the truth
right in front of us. Armstrong was allowed to keep going because we
wanted to believe him. We empowered him. When others came forth to
telling the truth we ignored them. Why do we as a culture lose our common sense and in essence give up our power in the face of a charming winner? When there's smoke there's
generally fire.
What Lance did to try and cover up his doping, ruining other lives etc. was far worse than the doping itself. He should be held responsible for all of that. He has already been stripped of his Tour de France titles. I believe the Olympic committee has/or will be stripping his Olympic medal.
The thing is, all they can do is vacate his wins. They can't award the titles to the next finisher because, unfortunately, as a sport, cycling is overrun with doping. There probably isn't anyone in the top ten finishers of the Tour de France who wasn't doping at the time.
I believe that we, as a culture, promote and continue to promote the culture of winning at all costs. It begins in t-ball and peewee football, continues through jr. and sr. high, escalates out of control in college, and is a way of life in the professional and international level of sports. We all pat ourselves on the back when someone gets caught, bow our heads in shame when someone dies, but continue to admire the "winner(s)" and hold them up on a gilded pedestal until something kicks them off. And then we forgive them their transgressions and embrace them again if they can put a check back in the win column.
And as much as we cheered someone for all their wins we gleefully rejoice in their, sometimes, eventual fall from grace and with a smirk we fall into the "I know it was too good too be true" and "winning isn't everything" and "character is the mark of a man, not his/her abilities".
I'm certainly saying that what Lance (a true psychopath in my estimation) did was in any way, shape, or form right but I can understand how the road to ruin gets started. To win is to be the best, to place second or below is to be a "looser", and its never about just playing the game, it is about conquering the game. None of this will ever stop and no one will really learn a life lesson from this. I am sure that thousands of competitors in all sorts of fields are looking for that edge right this minute. Consequences are only important if you get caught, and most people ignore the fact that they will ever get caught.

To win is to be the best, to place second or below is to be a "looser", and its never about just playing the game, it is about conquering the game.
Yes, I'm sure it was all about the "culture of winning" and had nothing to do with substantial financial prizes.
DWTS has quite a paradox going here. The show's willing to cast tabloid train wrecks to retrieve its slumping ratings… but the tabloid train wrecks think themselves too good for the show.
In my opinion, as someone who follows the sport to some degree (my husband is an avid cyclist and I dabble) I believe 100% that it WAS about conquering the competition and ego, not the financial gain. Even now, I think that Lance's whole reason for "coming clean" is to garner some forgiveness. Enough forgiveness that he will be allowed to compete in an ironman triathlon. It's what he has been training for and currently, he is banned from competition. I think his ego needs for him to "be the best" at all costs.

Once you have lied under oath, lied to entire world for decades, lied to
people who have cancer and look to you as some kind of archetype of
survival, as well as to your loved ones and friends, you may be forgiven —>
but you've lost the right to ever be believed. Lance has chosen his life's work – he's a professional liar and a con man (small caps forever on the 'man').
He still has $125 million in his bank account. Drain that swamp to
repay the US Government in full for $40 million, the other sponsors who
paid him for his lies, those whom he sued and won settlements, those
whose lives he destroyed, and any money he received from Livestrong
through the years. You don't rob a bank, say sorry and keep the money. IMO Lance used
Livestrong as his "get out of jail free" card. There are many groups who
help cancer patients and if Livestrong isn't willing to totally sever
any and all affiliation with Lance's fraud then they should be closed. Point. Blank. Period.
Then let's ensure he does some jail time for perpetrating a fraud worth
over $500 million. He sold 80 million yellow bracelets because he
cheated to do something he said he couldn't have done without illegal
actions and breaching contracts with sponsors, the public and his mother
and young son. Maybe he should share a cell with Bernie Madoff. It's
very easy for him to talk a good game of repentance with his super wealth intact.
Let's go after that and see he how he feels.
Would love to see him on there. Don't love him, but to see him on there. But it's way to early for that. Maybe in a couple years if he can rebuild his brand a little. He would take a beating now.
http://twitter.com/eilonwya10 Eilonwy
It's very easy for him to talk a good game of repentance with his super wealth intact.
That, and with shows like DWTS lining up to say "ooh, Lance, let's make you even wealthier and MORE famous!"
DWTS has moved beyond giving flashy train wrecks an additional 15 minutes of fame — a move that doesn't float my stoat, but people like Lindsay Lohan are mostly self-harming and annoying, and it's not like John Scalzi or Ben Bernanke are going to agree to devoting themselves to learning an effective paso doble. The more I think about actively trying to reward somebody who's left the trail of destruction that Armstrong has, the more I see the Puppy Eating Moral Event Horizon looming.
Dwts sends to be desperate to get a controversial contestant to feed the media frenzy and try to prevent more declines in viewer ship… First Lindsay now this
While I'm not necessarily on Lance's "side", he wasn't the only one dirty. If you follow cycling, you know that there have been entire teams removed from the tour for doping. For many of the years Lance won, they aren't replacing him as a winner, because too many of the cyclists have been found to have doped. In cycling, it's more news if someone didn't dope, that was the culture. I do believe Lance can be an as**ole, and he shouldn't have kept lying. But people do crazy things to protect themselves. Alberto Contador still says he ate some tainted beef and that's how he tested positive. There was probably a better reason Contador could fly up those hills! I'm not sure how I feel on the topic, because the all also train their asses off, they just got caught up in a culture that required many of them to go against their nature.
http://twitter.com/KatiesUVULA Katie's Uvula
He might use steroids on the show too and win that thru cheating *rim shot*
It would be nice for DWTS to pick up some real good names instead of casting like 1 or 2 B-listers and a bunch of Z-listers.
http://profile.yahoo.com/3RUBQK2O57PMWG3T2GA2LLOK3Y N
This is a little ridiculous. He cheated by doping, so did many people. His decision to intimidate people when he got caught to try to get people to believe he didn't dope is the worst thing that he did. He didn't kill anyone. He didn't commit some kind of massive fraud. He competed in a sport during an era where everyone was doping. He won with doping like A-rod, Bonds, Clemens and countless others. I'm sure many of the people who finished in second behind him in the 7 tours he won, were also doping.
"He didn't commit some kind of massive fraud."
You're joking, right?
http://twitter.com/eilonwya10 Eilonwy
He didn't commit some kind of massive fraud.
Well, no, except for winning the Tour de France multiple times by cheating. That surely qualifies as at least an itsy-bitsy fraud.
Then he covered his teeny-weeny, no-big-deal fraud by ruining the lives of honest people… which, if doping was really no big deal and not really fraudulent at all, seems like extremely OTT behavior.
Other athletes' behaving similarly doesn't excuse this. I'm not on board for demanding that athletes be models of moral and ethical behavior in every aspect of life… but if they cannot manage to follow the rules of their own sport (the activity that is presumably their vocation and pays their bills), then in what area of life do they intend to apply an ethical standard other than "whatever makes me rich and famous!"?
I also don't expect DWTS to act as moral guardians for our society. However, DWTS's choosing to further enrich people who've already lined their pockets by cheating at their own field strikes me as a worse (and fundamentally different) thing than DWTS's enriching people who are popular for doing perfectly legal things that I find annoying (Bristol Palin, any random Kardashian). Earning a bundle by dancing on the teevee is not a form of atonement, and I don't see why Armstrong's reprehensible conduct requires yet more rewards.
lol On 60 minutes, Travis Tygart is going to point out the lies that Lance Armstrong told Oprah.
The Fall of Lance Armstrong - He confessed to doping in an interview with Oprah Winfrey last week, but U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart, says the evidence proves Lance Armstrong withheld the truth and lied to Winfrey on key issues. Tygart tells Scott Pelley that if the disgraced cyclist wants his lifetime ban lifted, he will have to tell all. Michael Radutzky, Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados are the producers.

I have loved this bakery since I was a little girl!!! I no longer live in RI, but look forward to buying pastry every time I come back. They make the very best eclairs EVER!!!
This is a small bakery on Atwells Ave.
Beautiful cakes on display in window.
Cannoli's were very good. Filled to order. Shells light and crispy.
Pastries were not really traditional for Italian bakery. Busy holiday weekend and festival so not much product left over. You can tell the staff focused on the regulars and did not care about us tourists. Disappointed
I am from RI and Italian. Also, I am an Italian citizen and have a home in Italy. The pastry at this bakery is god awful. I brought a friend from Toronto to the hill on our way back from business meetings in CT. We stopped in on our way to Boston to grab lunch and on the way by...
Just what you imagine a family owned italian bakery to be. The baked goods are mouthwatering to look at and even better when you eat them.
This rum cake with coconut is amazing. Also, I've never been disappointed with any of there pastries. Great people that work there.
I really like the cannolis in this bakery , I crave them and when i fianally get one its always delish...
This is a great Italian bakery. Everything looks so good. We had the Fig bars and it was filled with generous portions of sweet figs. I also tried the Apricot coconut walnut strudel and that was good as well and rather large. Helpful and warm staff...a pleasure to shop there.
I have been to Italy many times and I am very familiar with what authentic Italian pastries should taste like. So when I read the reviews for this place I assumed I would be getting top quality Italian sweets. I was let down.
Pros: The bakery is cute with glass cases lined with cookies and pastries. The two young women...
Stopped in by accident (saw a sign that read since 1916 so of course had to go in) and wound up staying to meet the family who gave us a tour. Both Lois (her husband) and her sister Carol have huge passion for their craft. I have seen this passion before in places like Termini and Isgro's in South Philadelphia...

Good, but not Great
Be Merry Rectangle Invitations I wish this design had more to it - it's a really simple design. I wanted a Typography-type invitation on short notice and we decided on this one. The value and pricing are GREAT! I love how you can add your Wedding Colors to make it a little more personal and change out the verbage - Just wish it was a little more unique. I feel like I could have made this on my computer myself.
Provided Extras
live.laugh.love Foldover Pockets Everything worked out really well with our invitations. They sent more than the number of invites we requested. :)
Very nice quality, Get what you pay for
live.laugh.love Half-fold Programs Definitely high quality but high price as well. You only do it once so its best to do it right, highly recommend
Clean design
live.laugh.love Rectangle Invitations The card was beautiful and I loved the design so much that I didn't mind the personalization limitations. I wanted to try to make the card more "formal" by listing my mother's name at the top as the hostess of my wedding, however this wasn't possible. The fields with the names are customizable as far as how large the names are, but no other information can be entered in these spaces. Again, because this was my favorite card by design, I still ordered it and the quality and print was excellent. I highly recommend this invitation!
Modern Elegance
Bold Statement Foldover Pockets I LOVE my invitations. I personalized them to have our logo replace the logo that originally came on the front of the invitation. I removed the arrows on the front as well but left the ones inside. I changed the colors multiple times and the final result is perfect. I love that you can request custom changes to make your invite exactly what you want. I was even called to make sure my numbers were correct because I ordered less of one product (on purpose). The service and speed were right on target and the cost point could not have been better. The coupons are fabulous and so is the quality. My invitations cost half of what my sister-in-laws cost from an invitation shop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Dear Editor,
I was recently visiting my daughter, Christine Kreke, in Mokena and read your "plea" for pictures for Pet of the Week. Her dogs, Bucky and Mojo, most certainly qualify as outstanding entries. Both dogs were rescued by Chrissy and her late husband, Shane. Although spoiled rotten, they are her companions and children.
Thanks for considering my grandpuppies for your feature.

I'd love to hear about what you thought about your room...we have that one booked for the Thanksgiving 2008 cruise, and we've only ever been in a verandah stateroom before. How did you like the location? Is there a trunk with shelves in it in that cabin? Any complaints? Did you feel alot of movement in that forward location? Would love to know whatever you'd like to share...we still have plenty of time to change cabins if we want to, so I'm looking for all the info I can get!

We got our pics back from our dolphin excursion here are a few.

She was a bit cold, but was having a good time!

One of the things I thought was really cool is that there is for the most a 1 to 1 staff to dolphin interaction. Each trainer works with one dolphin for the most part. Good excursion.

Chapter 20: Castaway Cay, Swimming Beasties, Digging Denizens, and Silly Snorkelers
Chapter 20: Castaway Cay, Swimming Beasties, Digging Denizens, and Silly Snorkelers
Ahh Castaway Cay, a lyrical sounding place that warms the heart of many DCL vets and piques the curiosity of those yet to sample its sweet offerings. Now to set the tone for today you must know, my girls are beach girls. They love the beach. My folks have a time share at Atlantic Beach, NC that I have been going to since I was a kid. They even have a pool there affectionately referred to as The Mickey Pool :
Taken from Google Earth, Coordinates are 34° 41 57.89 N 76° 44 48.98 W if you want a closer look.
So when we told the girls that we were going on a cruise and that we were going to have a beach day in February, this became one of the most anticipated parts of the trip!
Again we had an early rise, saw the sunset and got to see the ship back into Castaway Cay. Mini Me had a special time enjoying the view:
We got dressed (like it takes a long time to put on your bathing suit!) and lathered up the family with the super duper wet proof, sweat proof, nuclear strike proof sunscreen SPF 60, thick as all get out and a bit grainy when applied. Feels weird going on but nothing gets through this stuff and one application is usually good for the day.
Here is where I add a tip from a beach pro to my friends on the Dis, I dont think I have seen this tip before. Apply the sunscreen in your room. It is easier to ensure proper application and its easier on the kids. It is sheer torture to apply sunscreen to kids when the beach is so tantalizingly close.
We head up to Beach Blanket Bingo for breakfast (I really like eating here for breakfast) and score a table on the aft deck overlooking Castaway Cay. After breakfast we take a few pics including a nice one of the beach and the Flying Dutchman:
We head down to deck 3 for one last potty break before we head out. I run over to guest services to take care of our tips figuring that it will be a mad house that evening. I hook up with the kids and we are off to Castaway Cay. We arent the first ones off the ship but I bet we are in the first 100. We stop to take another picture of the Flying Dutchman:
Notice the enough with the pictures lets get to the beach look on the girls face. Now I have a confession to make. This may sound like apostasy and may even get me banned from the Dis and any future DCL cruise, I dont care for the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The first one was okay, the second was just too intense for me for a Disney movie plus I didnt like the way it never really resolved anything and cut off haphazardly in an obvious set up for the third movie. I know it was meant to be a trilogy but I always felt that even a trilogy movie should be able to stand on its on. That said, seeing the Flying Dutchman up close was very cool!
Okay movie rant over, deep cleansing breath, I feel better.
Anyhoo we stop for a pic at another Castaway Cay Icon, Mt Rustmore:
We get on the walkway. DW and the kids see the first cutoff for the family beach and want to pull off. Nope I said, trust dad on this one, we stick to the walkway to the end of the family beach and we stand a much better chance to score a hammock. So off we go:
We get to the end and score the last open hammock on the beach! Yess! As we set up camp we see another family running in the sand in our direction towards our hammock. Their shoulders slump in pain and defeat as we justly claim the spoils of a superior beach rest station acquisition plan. I smile smugly to myself as I turn my gaze of disdain from the hapless fools who either dont know the Dis or didnt heed its teachings, a return to my vacation. My wife and I hop into the hammock:
and the kids hit the beach:
The weather is beautiful, the water azure blue and life is good. It is a windy day so there are very small waves at the shore line (like 4 inches tops) but the girls are used to much windier beaches and much rougher surf so they think it is perfect. We hang out and play on the beach for about an hour and then head over to the Stingray excursion set to start at 10.
Now Disney hit the ball out of the park with this excursion. You get a brief orientation/educational lecture. While waiting for the lecture one of the people on the excursion commented on the pirate ring that one of the CM had. He told us he was on the POC crew and got that as an employee of the week award, very cool! Each participant is then given a mask/snorkel and Mae West vest. The group is sub divided up into 4 groups of about 8-10 people. The CM drags a Ramp made of PVC pipe that is shaped like a U. The stingrays know the drill because as soon as the ramps go into the water, they start making to the shoreline like we head to BBB when we get on the ship!
A Ray coming up the Ramp:
The rays are trained to come up one ramp and head to a Mickey Shaped plate where they expect to get fed. You squeeze a piece of Shrimp, or Calamari, or Gel sticks that have vitamins between your middle and pointer finger. When it is your turn, you bend down, place your hand on the Mickey Plate.
Eating From the Mickey Plate:
The ray swims up and sucks the food out of your hand. The rays are swimming all around you. Very Cool! The stinging barb on the ray is not at the end of the tail like I thought. Rather it is about 2/3 the way down. The CMs trim the barbs on the days the ships arent at Castaway Cay.
A Ray up close:
Despite this, Mini Me didnt want to be in the water or to feed the rays so she asked me to hold her.
Mini Me up top:
Again the water was quite brisk and the level was at a place on my body where certain strategic parts were neither completely in nor completely out. Again I was asked by the others what I was doing and I told them it was my shrinkage acceleration program. That got a few laughs and the other guys in our group decided to do the same thing! Well when I dipped down that was the last straw for Mini Me, she wanted to get up on my shoulders. We feed rays for about 20 or 30 minutes. Then you get to swim around the enclosure to get a closer look at the rays. The kids didnt want to do this so they headed for shore. The CMs who helped us with the feeding were building a gargantuan sand castle so the kids (ours and others) stayed on the shore building the castle while we swam around for another 20 or 30 minutes. I thought it was so cool that Disney had something there to occupy the kids who might not want to swim and save the parents from either deciding who got to sit out or chucking them down to the kids clubs. We got done and ready to go and the kids had no idea we were done yet! Good job! I highly recommend this excursion and I recommend you do one of the first few time slots as the rays are more active then. They microchip the rays so they know who is getting what as far as food. Again Great Excursion!
Next Up Paradise Continues!

This is the first trippie I've read thats had a detailed report about the Stingray Excursion. Thanks for sharing that. Might be something I'm going to look into.
Leave it to Disney to always think of everything. I love it.
P.S. I see your link worked. Nice job!

Chapter 21: Castaway Cay, Late Morning Digging Denizens, and Silly Snorkelers
We get back from the Sting Ray Exhibit and plop down in our chairs and hammock. The girls get back to digging.
Here is Mini Me:
The beach was still pretty deserted at our end of the strip. Shortly after this was taken we were joined by a lovely family from Lafayette Louisiana. The had two kids a little boy who looked to be about 3 and a girl who was the same age as Mini Me. Well the two of them hit it off and before you could say pixie dust they were thick as thieves digging and searching for sea shells! The Dad of the family was a regional Manager for Ci-Cis Pizza. They were having a convention on the ship. In fact I think we were one of 8 familes who werent part of the convention! For those who dont know Ci-Cis is a pizza buffet chain store. You can feed a family of four for about $20. Good value restaurant type place. Everytime I saw someone from the group I wanted to yell, Welcome to Ci-Cis! (They do that when you go to the store. The cruise was like one huge Dis meet, everyone seemed to know each other. Each day there was a T-shirt for the folks in the group. The folks we interacted with were great and I was glad they were there!
Mini Me and her Pal were off collecting when a Shutters Staff got this shot of Sweet Child:
We are not alcohol drinkers, got nothing against it, well enjoy a Smirnoffs from time to time we just arent into it. We decided to get some Strawberry Daiquiris sans booze for us and the girls. We flag down a guy and he tells us about the Conch Cooler Drink of the day. I change my order to that. WOW! I have heard people rave about those and now I know why. Even if you arent a drinker, you need to get one of these while on Castaway Cay, it was very good!
I ask Sweet Child if she wants to go snorkeling. She says she does. We have the sets for the kids but I need to get gear for me and a vest for her. I schelpp it down to the snorkel hut and get gear. I hurry back. Now there is no way that we are going to make it out to the snorkel trail, I figure it will be too churned up by now and Sweet Child probably couldnt make it. So we gear up to tool around where we are at:
We struggle with the gear, Sweet Child isnt used to the snorkel and relying primarily on her legs and not her arms. She is getting a ton of salt water in the snorkel. I try to get her settled and we finally tool out about 50-75 feet from the shore look around and head back in. Im a little bummed because I really wanted to get out to the snorkel lagoon but I didnt want her to feel bad or that she let dad down. A big thing for my Sweet Child. We tool around for a bit and then head up. Sweet Child, Wow! Dad we really went snorkeling! We went far! Im glad you took me!
Time spent getting gear and coming back: 25 Minutes
Cost of Gear: $25
Introducing Sweet Child to snorkeling and making a memory forever: priceless
Making sure that she had a positive experience and leaving the door open to take it further at a later date and time was far more important that seeing the sunken Mickey.
By now it is around 1 PM and we are starved so we head up to Cookies to eat. On our way up, we get asked by another family, Is that Place included in our cruise or do we pay extra? I smile smugly to myself as I turn my gaze of disdain from the hapless fools who either dont know the Dis or didnt heed its teachings, a return to my vacation. Yes, its included
The food was great! Of course food always taste better at the beach, you are more hungry! I ask Sweet Child if she wants Regular or BBQ Chips, she says BOTH! She sure is getting the hang of this cruise stuff! We all have a great lunch and then my wife and Mini Me come back with ice cream. Not just any ice cream. Soft Serve Cookie Dough ice cream! How could I have missed this in all the trip reports I have read!?!? It was great and nice little surprise to finish off lunch!
We then head over to the On Island Store to look at the towels. My wife and decided to get towels rather than T-Shirts (That way we can use them later!) While we are shopping we run into Rahmad, our buddy from the Store. He helps us make some selections and asks us how our dolphin excursion went. The girls tell him all about it.
We head back to the beach and the kids want to check out the play structure. Sweet Child swims out all by herself, I help Mini Me. The structure is okay but doesnt really wow the kids, we head back. Mini Me is starting to get a bit touchy so we decide it is time to start wrapping things up. We knew that after a full day on the beach we were going to need naps for the kids. Sweet Child and I take one more quick dip to finish off the underwater camera:
As you can see she is quite the fish, actually they both are but the hour is late. We start walking back. I veer off to drop off the snorkel gear. I tell the fam I will meet them at the post office. After the post office we have a surprise! The post office was still closed when we got off the ship and we wanted to mail back postcards to family, teachers, and friends. The kids filled them out earlier in the trip. My wife had the address labels pre-done (Another great Dis Tip!) I hook back up with the fam and the natives are getting restless. Mini Me asks about the surprise and right then she comes off the ship DAISY!!!!!!
Another shot with Mini Mes beloved Daisy!
We get scanned back in and head up to the room. Along the way Sweet Child is bemoaning the fact that they never got to the kids clubs. I reel off the activities of the last three days and ask her, What would you have not wanted to do so you could go to the club?
UUUUUUUMMMMMMM Nothing?
Sweet Child you have just learned an important cruise tip, you cant do it all, and thats okay!
We get back to the room and waiting in our little mail slot is Magic Memories Certificate. Rahmad sent us a certificate hoping that we had a great time on our dolphin excursion! A very nice touch! One that I made sure got noted on the comment card! The kids take baths, change clothes and go right to sleep:
I take a quick shower and then head out to the clubs to turn our pager back in and to Guest Services to apply the Disney Gift Cards we had gotten over the Christmas holidays, again, not wanting to face the crowds that night. I get back, DW heads out to Shutters and I read a bit. It is then time to get dressed for dinner. We get dressed first and then get the girls up, as you can see Mini Me wasnt quite ready to get up:
We get dressed up and then its off for our last night on the Wonder!
Up Next: Dinner, Pins, Dreams, Goodbyes, and Keystone Packing!

Chapter 22: Dinner, Pins, Dreams, Goodbyes, and Keystone Packing!
Chapter 22: Dinner, Pins, Dreams, Goodbyes, and Keystone Packing!
We wake the girls, get them dressed and head out for our last night on the Wonder. Our first stop was the atrium to get one last family shot with Mickey and Minnie. Here are the two girls waiting for the mouse:
We learn that the photo will be taken up on deck 4. We head there and find ourselves about 3rd in line. The mouse and his mate show up and we get a better picture with our camera than the folks from Shutters did! :
My wife cropped out the non-background background in the lower right corner for our scrapbook. We head back down to the Atrium where the piano player is playing Disney tunes. I Know You from Sleepy Beauty is being played and I start singing the lyrics. Sweet Child starts swaying and dancing. She then grabs my hand and I start twirling her. Mini Me decides she wants to get in on the action so I oblige to what became one of the best moments of the cruise for me:
We head in for Tritons for the last dinner. The girls all order (all together now) STEAK! I decide to be crazy and get the duck. It is all very good. For desert, Mini Me gets Ice Cream, Sweet Child gets the Chocolate Mousse, I get the Cherries Jubilee (which apparently isnt prepared table side at cruises any more), and my dear wife gets the White Chocolate Dome with Raspberry. That was the best of the night to be sure. The Head Server comes by to introduce herself (just kidding) and states she hopes we had a great time and will put excellent on the card. We get a picture of our team with the girls:
and then our server takes on of us:
Its kinda amazing/sad that our server took a better dinner shot of our family than any of the Shutters folks did! After dinner I suggest that we walk out on the promenade. We havent been out there since the life boat drill. It is very windy but nice and I get one of my favorite pics of the trip:
We head to Treasure Ketch for the final shopping frenzy. My wife sees a towel she likes better than the one we cot at Castaway Cay and sends me back to the stateroom to get it and exchange. I do so, the clerk asks me if it has been on the Beach? I tell her it stayed in the bag at all times, besides I know better than to lie because the towel probably has a microchip and that there are cameras everywhere! She deadpans back, How did you know? The Mouse knows all! I love the fact that most of the crew have a great sense of humor! I hook back up for the girls and they have selected the Christmas ornament and gifts for the grandparents (the gifts shall remain disclosed as the grandparents havent gotten them yet! ). The girls now need to make the final selection for themselves. Mini Me wants a Tinker Bell Pin that you see Pin traders with. I was really hoping to avoid the pin trading thing dont know why, just seems like a money pit to me. (I know apostasy! What can I say I am an unwashed heathen!) Sweet Child wants a snow globe that is A) more than she has left and B) is just begging to be smashed into a million pieces on the return trip having liquid we take it with us on the plan now can we? We find some ink pens that have Minnie Heads on the top that both girls are excited about. Sweet Child can takes hers to school and thats good enough for her. We go to check out and the clerk waiting on us is Rahmad! I shake his hand and thank him for the sweet gesture with the certificate. He is very nice, checks us out, and then gives the girls each a Tinker Bell pin! It is a special pin that Cast Members get to give out randomly to help spread the magic to those they come in contact with. Another great Disney Moment that made it to the comment card! Mini Me got her pin after all! The girls are thrilled because they got to go shopping on the SHIP! This was a very important part of the trip for them. Remember earlier in the Trip Report Mini Me wanted to know why the shops were closed? I told her they had to be while we were tied up at port. Earlier that evening, when the ship was pulling out of Castaway Cay, the ship hadnt even cleared the pier when Mini Me exclaimed, Where out to sea, lets go to the shop!
We head to the Theatre where get the exact same seats as we had the first two nights. While we were waiting, Mini Mes pal from the beach and her family get in the row in front of us. The two of them start chatting up a storm:
The show is Disney Dreams and it is a great one. Well done, lots of fun moments. You had to remind yourself to pull back and look at the kids. It was a good show. The only thing I wondered about is they leave HUGE holes in the stage floor during certain sections of the show. I wonder if an actor even mis-stepped and fell into one?
After the show we head back to the room, behold the
Se our last towel animal, an elephant:
Now the dilemma, everything is pretty much together but we havent started packing yet. Do we hit the Till We Meet Again Party or do we pack? Do I take the kids and leave the wife to pack? (Like Im going to pack we have all heard about the stories havent we?) My wife decides we can do both, Im not sure but I figure to trust her on this one. As we head down to the atrium we get one final shot of the girls in princess walk mode:
Boy was I glad I listened to my wife! The party was great! The atrium turns into a clown car with character after character coming out of the woodwork! They then go to different parts on deck 3 and 4 and you get one last meet. The girls got to meet with Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The girl (Mary Anne?) from Disney Dreams, Goofy, Stitch, Minnie Mouse, and the Lion King Couple. We were told to expect to get to only about three. I am guessing that since most folks were from Ci-Cis that stayed home and that the hunting would have been harder with a more Dis-savvy group!
While we were waiting for Snow White I saw a kid that I thought I was going to go Austin Powers on. The kid had to be about 10 or 11 and was dressed in a Belle outfit but I swore it was a BOY! It really creeped me out. I wanted to grab the wig and yell, But its a Man Man! I kept the whole thing to myself.
The characters all then return to the stairwell between Decks 3 and 4 and the platform in front of Tritons. They then wave good bye to all parts of the room:
While waving to the last side of the room, Stitch grabs his ankles and begins to shake his bum to the last group. A little girl about 2 or 3 darts under the rope and gooses him in the caboose! She runs to the safety of the crowd. Stitch seeks her out and gives her a high five! Silly Stitch:
The ensemble sings the Now Its Time To Say Good Bye Song. They sign out the M-O-U-S-E. After the E you hear Tinker Bell and pixie dust (Mickey Head shaped confetti) washes over us all. It was a great, tear jerking, lump in the throat, boy am I glad I did this moment! The kids start collecting as much of the stuff as they can. Donald gives them a handful on the way out and we say good bye to the First Couple of DCL:
We head back to the room, it is now 10:20, the bags have to be out in the hall by 11:00. We get back and stuff is flying! My wife looks and me and asks, Did you see that kid in the Belle outfit who looked like a boy? Whew I dont felt so bad! When we packed for the trip we took our two biggest bags and nestled them in one another and packed the smaller bag so as to have an extra bad for the return trip. (Another Great Dis Tip) We had a kitchen sized garbage bag that had served as a hamper for us through out the week. That gets thrown into one bag and before you can say Jiminy Cricket, we are packed! I thought it was going to be a Keystone Cop kind of moment with the flailing and wailing and the weeping and gnashing of teeth. But we were packed and everything out of the room (Save toiletries and cloths for the next day of course) by 10:40. I have an amazing wife!
We go to bed knowing with heavy hearts that in the morning we must leave the ship!
Next: Now its time to say goodbye!
The kids in my family sometimes think I walk on water... the rest of the time they know I'm their nutty AUNT!!!

[YEA] i had a very bad cavity for over a year. my filling fell out of one of my molars. i went through 12 aspirin and tube of oral gel and the pain would go away for about 10 minutes. last night i woke up @1am from the pain and saw that if you get a tea bag soak it in warm water for 15 seconds and wring it out place it on the tooth and gum and suck on it for about 10 or 15 minutes the pain goes right way. the taste is not the best so i don't recommend swallowing it and its kinda hard to spit out, but it works. thank you for all the info u give

[YEA] Usually when I got an abscess I went straight to antibiotics. It happened accidentally when I purchased a bottle of mouth wash with tea tree oil in it, while I already had the abscess but not to cure the abscess just for overall oral health. Any case I had this abscess and was planning to go to the chemist to get antibiotics. I was using the bottle with tea tree oil in it, and in 2 days my abscess was gone, not sure what it does but I use it daily.
[YEA] tea tree oil: This is a remedy that works for me....Just soak a tiny bit of cotton wool( about a cotton bud sized piece,) and tuck it under the gum in the infected area, replace ever hour or so. The abcess will diminish after a day.You are not supposed to swallow TTO so avoid this by spitting out into a tissue- but its not fatal.- Definitely the lesser of 2 evils.
Ted's Remedies 0 0
Traditionally people use clove oil (2-4 drops) to do the mouthwash in 1/4 glass of water will work better as clove has a numbing effect and kill the bacteria also. Dentists also use the clove oil applied directly using appropriate devices, to the area of cavities. Often 1% hydrogen peroxide with baking soda, for me works the best in preventing cavities from getting any larger. However, if the mouth has high number of bacterium, using them a couple of times is helpful. I do it say 2-3 times. The cavities tooth pain goes away quite quickly. The key is to make sure there is no food residue after eating, which means a peroxide mouthwash is to be done after eating of every meal.
The use of either black tea bag, or a green tea (no sugar, no fructose, no milk) is a broad spectrum antibiotics.
Sometimes, if my budget is limited, I mixed a 1/8 teaspoon of tannic acid in 1/2 glass of water to do the mouthwash, with frequent swishing of course! They work too, of course, whenever I don't have green tea or 1% hydrogen peroxide at my home.
In the long run, the key is to make sure the saliva pH exceeds 7 or at least 7. Cavities don't form if the saliva are at this level. It seems drinking green tea occasionally caused the saliva gland to worked better and raising the pH can be done with baking soda 1/4 teaspoon taken twice a day helps a lot in prevention. It must be noted that peroxide reduce the bacteria, but baking soda prevents the bacteria in the mouth from growing (that and no food particles and sugary food).
In other times I can do 2-4 drops of iodine in 1/2 glass of water as a good mouthwash also. It prevents iodine deficiency when this is done occasionally, such as once a week, for example."
04/22/2006: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "The best cure I can think of for a tooth abscess that helped me is when I mixed a 1/4 teaspoon of potassium carbonate into 1/2 glass of water and use this as a mouthwash. Do it three for four times should reduce the pain in a couple of hours. Basically a relatively strong alkaline solution will usually destroy the bacteria. At least it really helped with my cavities pains.
Also I sometimes mixed sodium perborate also (after dissolving it which takes an hour in water!) keeps my teeth free from the abscess also. If you can't find potassium carbonate, a good alternative might be sodium carbonate, however, I think you might need a little less. Ideally a sodium perborate and potassium carbonate should do the trick. I have also resorted to using H2O2 1.5% as a mouthwash now and then just to be sure also.
However, a longer term solution of taking some vitamin B3 in particular plus a B complex vitamins will help reduce it too. If everything works out as expected, some improvement should be noticed within the next day. The theory is basically simple, the bacteria in your mouth has a weakness against alkaline, for the very same reason why they cause cavities by creating acid to dissolve your tooth enamel which causes tooth abscesses whenever they too get into your gums. Flossing also helps in later stages also. However, if the condition still persist it is best to see your dentist. Oh yes, by the way, take a fairly large daily dose of vitamin C also as it is also helps with tooth abscess, such as 1-2 grams (1000-2000 mg) per day. This will also really help relieve the conditions of fibromyalgia if taken together with magnesium and malic acid (apple cider vinegar is high on malic acid).

I have now had 2 abscesses on my lower jaw bone. I think this is what my doctor called it when I last saw him. It was either an abscess or an infection he referred to it as but I cannot really remember.
Anyway, what happens is my jaw starts to become really sore and I can feel a lump on my lower jaw bone. This lump cannot be felt inside my mouth but can be felt by pressing my face at the bottom of my jaw.
I was prescribed antibiotics by the doctor on both occasions. I can't take anything with penicillin in as I'm allergic to it and come out in a rash. The problem is although the pain eventually goes when I take the antibiotics I can still feel a very small lump in my jaw which makes me think that the infection has not totally cleared. This has happened on both occasions when I have had an infection. I am worried now that I am going to be more likely to get recurrent infections every few months because of it.
Can anyone recommend anything natural I could take to clear the infection, please? Thank you.

You can try swishing with Sodium bi Carbonate water, which you can make by disolving one tea spoon of Sodium bi Carbonate in half glass of water. You can do it at least twice a day and it should keep the bacteral infection at bay. Good Luck

435 PostsDear Wieas,
Concerning your desire to find a natural antidote to the infection on your jaw; This is what I'd do if this were me... I'd take a high parts per million solution of colloidal silver (over 100 ppm) and mix with an equal part of DMSO, a solvent and carrier. A cap full and a half of both... Or a tablespoon of each and use white paper towel to soak up the mix. When combined the mix will become warm. Immediately soak the paper towel with the mix and apply the soaked part of the paper towel to the jaw where the absess is located. Hold there for fifteen minutes. Repeat an hour later.
Repeat the same protocol the next day. And the next. By the third day you should be able to tell a big difference. If better, continue the treatment.
The silver solution kills the virual/fungal/bacterial infection and the DMSO carries the silver INTO the jaw.
Best to you,

47 PostsOregano oil, also called oil of oregano, is a natural antimicrobial and antispasmodic remedy. Many people have successfully used oregano oil for treating a tooth abscess, which is an infection that can spread to the jaw. The pain associated with a jaw infection can be so severe that dentists typically prescribe pain medications. Oregano oil's numbing properties reduce pain, and its antimicrobial properties will help clear up the infection. Before using oregano oil for this type of infection, talk to your doctor or dentist first.
Step 1
Saturate one end of a cotton swab with oil of oregano and apply to your gums.
Step 2
Saturate the other end of the cotton swab and apply it to any abbesses in the mouth. According to Medicine Plus, mouth abscesses may require surgery in order to drain the pus, which would ultimately reduce some pain as well. Oregano oil assists abscess drainage and kills the bacteria leaking from the pus-like packet in the mouth.
Step 3
Apply oil of oregano to the teeth affected by the jaw infection with another clean cotton swab. A jaw infection typically affects the gums and teeth. Applying oregano oil on the tooth can prevent further tooth decay. Apply the oil to the gums between the teeth that are affected.
Step 4
Do not eat for 30 minutes after application. This gives the oil time to work.
Step 5
Saturate a cotton ball with oil of oregano and apply to your jaw. You need a topical application for the external jaw area. You may feel pain around the ears, cheeks and throat. Apply the oregano oil to these areas. Apply the oil anywhere you feel pain.
Step 6
Use oregano oil every 2 to 3 hours until your infection clears up and add oregano to your foods for maximum benefits. Phyllis Balch, author of "Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Fifth Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements, " recommends adding oregano to foods or oregano oil to salads for maximum antimicrobial effects.Posted by Wieas

435 PostsTo Wieas from London,
Sorry the DMSO is not available in London. When I google it here in the states.... Just "DMSO" many sites come up. Try googling "Doctor Jacob DMSO" which is his web site on MSM and DMSO. Also read about DMSO by googling "Doctor Jacob DMSO 60 Minutes" and see the great three part discussion on the amazing uses of DMSO.
If you can't get it in England (is there a country by country difference in google?) then try a feed and seed store in England... Where they sell farm and linaments and you'll get DMSO (likely) since vets often use DMSO. The white wraps you see on horse's legs are called "DMSO Wraps" (usually) containing DMSO to counter sprains and bone issues.
If you have a vet friend, he could get you some.
If you have a friend in the states it could be purchased here and shipped. (I don't know the laws on that assuming it's not considered contraband of course. ) Also you have health food stores in England which is where most people buy little bottles of DMSO.
A safe solvent/carrier is necessary to get the liquid CS into the effected area. I know of no other substitute but I've heard some years back of such a carrier but didn't really pay too much attention since DMSO is perfect.
I'm really intrigued as to why you don't get DMSO as soon as it is googled in England and would appreciate someone explaing how this is so because when you google DMSO here, numerous sites come up.Posted by Wieas

8 PostsDave from Fountain Inn - thanks very much for your detailed reply.

05/06/2014Just wanted to add that I had a severe tooth abscess that I accidentally cured with zinc lozenges. I lost a filling last year and after being tortured by food getting into the space where the filling was I intentionally cracked off part of my tooth (not too bright). this resulted in some sort of infection and I had a tooth abscess on and off for about a month. it got real bad and I decided to take some zinc lozenges. I had heard that zinc lozenges kill mouth bacteria and can kill the bacteria that cause a strep throat ... so I took four. each lozenge had 24 mg. zinc, 1000 IU vit A, and 150 mg vit C. the abscess came to a head and it was over by the fourth lozenge. I don't know if it was the zinc, but zinc is a very powerful antibacterial metal, and I think it immobilized the bacteria in the mouthPosted by Timh

Dear Earth Clinic readers, I am asking for your help. Two days ago at a dental appointment, an xray showed an absess/cyst at bottom of a tooth. Root canal is recomended asap. I have no pain and didn't know I had it. I believe in dr. hal huggins in not having root canals (have had past ones pulled). I seriously do not want to have a root canal done and am wondering what Bill could suggest or anyone that has been able to clear up this condition. I am sure it is affecting my health.

01/10/2013[WARNING!] "Hi Linda, it is very dangerous to let a tooth abcess go untreated. My husband had a tooth abcess a couple of years ago. He'd had a toothache with minor pain for about a week and didn't pay much attention to it until a red line started to form down his neck one morning. He was about to leave the country on business but realized (Thank GOD) that it was now a medical emergency and rushed to get the tooth removed. The oral surgeon who extracted his tooth said he had reached him just in time and that it would have been a disaster if he had gotten on the plane to travel to Europe. As I have since learned from multiple dentists, infection from a tooth abcess can kill you so it is very important to treat an abcessed tooth as soon as possible. Best to you, Liz.Posted by Anon

Anyone know what could be causing a sometimes dull ache, sometimes sharpish pain on my left side in my teeth? There's no throbbing at all and it doesn't appear to be in my gums or jaw area, just teeth but can't pinpoint where exactly as it seems to be on the top and then on the bottom! The pain is only on a scale of about a 3 out of 1-10 so it's not too bad but it's been over a week now with a continuous slight headache accompanying it.
Then this morning I woke up with a kind of heavy head like it wanted to just fall forward and somewhat different feeling in my neck. The only thing I've added to my healthy diet is wheatgrass smoothies but that can't be it surely, though they both started happening at the same time. It's not overtaking my day, I can get by without thinking of it most of the time and it doesn't wake me but what would make teeth hurt if it's not infection? Have taken MMS to kill any infection in any case.Posted by Kay

[WARNING!] Don't play around with abscessed teeth. Someone I know had an abscessed tooth and left it untreated, the infection spread and he died of a brain infection in his early 20s.
Also, it is possible to eliminate an abscess to the point that he no longer is painful but then to have it flare up again later. Again it is best to eliminate the infection completely. Even a minor abscess at the end of a root can cause bone loss over time and you don't want that.
I am not discouraging the use of natural cures to fight the infection. I don't like taking antibiotics either but be sure that any cures you use are complete. It may be necessary to get a root canal in order to be sure. It may be best to see an endodontist.

[YEA] a great painkiller and infection fighter for tooth/gum/abcess pain is turmeric for $4.00 or less in your local grocerie store in the spices section. I was amazed when I used it how it took away the pain and inflammation. just a teaspoon in a bowl with just enough PURIFIED WATER to make it the consistency of wet mud. You can use a cotton ball or a small cut piece of cotton cloth with a blob of wet turmeric ( careful- it is what mustard stains are made of), and place it on the tooth so it can seep between the teeth and to the abcess, the taste isn't that bad, especially when you can't sleep or anything w/o pain. If you are lying down, don't forget to take out the cotton ball/cloth before you fall asleep. Also, rinsing prior with PURIFIED WATER, 1 teaspoon of h202 (drugstore kind ok), and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda ( organic-about $3.57 a lb. bag but goes very far when using small amounts. I don't care what Arm and Hammer says, they put something in their bs because organic is MUCH more body friendly). Have the turmeric ready to go in before you rinse because it can be painful if the abcess is bad but the turmeric is also a painkiller. When I think of all the times in my life I used oragel just to cry myself to sleep-ughhh! As usual, how long it takes will depend on the severity of the infection but it sure worked for me. MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU.Posted by ROZ (HOUSTON, TEXAS) on 12/11/2008
[YEA] Hey, I currently have a tooth abscess and it is killing me and has my cheek an mouth numb, I went to the Dr. afterwork to get antibiotics but they wouldn't give me an Rx because they said they didn't have any appointments available and needed to assess me prior to dispensing medications. When I got home I thought of the remedy for boils which according to this website is tumeric. Well, it seems to me the concept of a boil & a tooth abscess are basically the same. A boil is infection under the skin accompainied by poisonous blood and puss w/inflamation and the same with an abscess but surrounding a bad tooth. So last night when I got home in severe pain (could hardly open my mouth). I put a tsp of tumeric in some applesauce (still almost threw it up) but to my surprise the swelling went down and the pain subsided. It's late morning now and I am beginning to feel a slight discomfort, so I plan on taking more tumeric. Hope this helps someone else.Posted by Chris (Atlanta, GA) on 02/18/2007

[YEA] I just want to report back on some of the treatments for tooth abcess.
I had a bad crown that would bother me occasionally, but I would manage it with a mixture of half baking soda, half seasalt which I put into my blender and ground to a fine powder. You use it as toothpaste. This is an old Edgar Cayce formula for teeth and gum health, and it works great.
Anyway, it flaired up and the salt/soda combination couldn't stop it from progressing. I unfortunately was just changing from one dental plan to another so I fell between the cracks and had to wait a week to get some treatment. The pain was becoming unbearable! Anyway, I was reminded of your website so I looked it up and decided to try the slippery elm, charcoal, clove oil, baking yeast paste.
By this time it was appearent that the abcess was at the root of the tooth and was begining to push the tooth up and it seemed that the paste was unable to really penetrate into the jawbone to effect it...and the pain was getting worse! I read further in that article and the gentleman also recommened taking Turmeric and I remembered that it was ideal for boils also. So I thought, what is an abcess, but a boil in the jaw?
So I made up capsules of half turmeric and half cayanne pepper. Sure enough, within a hour or so, it started to reduce. Encouraged, I decided to go to straight Turmeric and have been taking a heaping teaspoonful in a glass of warm milk sweetened with Stevia 2-3 times a day. It actually tastes pretty good!
Bottom line is that the pain is greatly reduced and I am convinced this could completely cure this problem, but I am going to the Dentist monday anyway to get this crown properly fixed.
Turmeric has kept these last few days from being an absolute nightmare! By the way, I started taking Levaquin (a powerful antibiotic) about 5 days ago, and it did NOTHING! Thank you and thank God for this site!

[YEA] I used multiple things to help draw the infection out. I used tea bags and hot salt water. However when bedtime came around I was ready for some pain relief. What really worked for me was Turmeric. I got the loose powder and put in some distilled water to make a paste and packed it into the cavity hole. It works but when I realized I wanted a little more relief I had the idea to make the Turmeric paste and add two drops of Eugenol (clove oil) into the paste. That really did the trick. The turmeric paste held the clove oil in place for a numbing effect while also reducing inflammation and I was able to sleep all night.

[YEA] Turmeric, Salt, Clove and Garlic cured my abscess
2 years ago my former dentist did a half-assed job on my root canal. I have had problems ever since, with infections every few months. A few days ago I woke up in incredible pain, the worst I'd ever experienced. Immediately went to the dentist and he put me on antibiotics, but there seemed to be no solution to the immediate pain I was in. Took ibuprofen, nothing. Tried vicadin, zilch.
So I did a little research and finally got some relief by putting a chewed clove right next to the infection - instantly the pain began to ease up, but the swelling would not go down. I tried gargling with listerine, using warm compresses, but to little effect.
Finally I hit the jackpot.
1 cup of warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
I gargled/swished with this for literally 10 seconds, and the boil just opened up and all the garbage literally shot right out - didn't even need to apply any pressure. With the abscess drained I applied a slice of fresh garlic to the opening, which stung like hell, but it has also helped the infection and reduced swelling. I could actually chew food again!
I returned to the dentist today and he was astonished at how much this thing has cleared up. Granted there is no saving the tooth now, and I will definitely need to get it pulled. But I am thankful to have found relief in the interim and hope this remedy helps some other poor soul out there.
Nobody deserves this type of pain!Posted by Sandy

The highest total was the downtown Shelby County Office Building with 1437 votes.
President Obama on Wednesday sent out a written statement saying it's time for Congressional Republicans to "listen to the majority of Americans who say it's time to give America a raise."
The statement itself speaks to the fact that as a group, the Republicans are either not hearing the same thing as President Obama and his Congressional supporters. Or, they are fundamentally aligned with another thought pattern.
Meanwhile, that thud coming of the Senate chamber is the aftershock from a 54-42 vote on Wednesday that signaled the failure of a proposal linked to bumping the federal minimum wage up from $7.25 to $10.10. Sixty votes were needed to derail a filibuster against a measure pushing the increase. When the votes were counted only one Republican had chosen to let the measure go forward.

Ethiopian dam to benefit Sudan: Official

"The dam will contribute share in efforts to extricate Ethiopia from poverty and will also benefit the people of Sudan," Hussein Yassin Hamad, the governor of the Blue Nile State, said at the opening of a joint border development commission meeting in Assosa, the capital of Ethiopia's Benshangul Gumuz region, according to a Sudanese diplomat.
"The people and administration of the Blue Nile State will provide the necessary support towards the completion of dam construction," he was quoted as saying by the diplomat.
Ethiopia is building a $6.4-billion dam on the Blue Nile, which represents Egypt's primary source of water.
The project has raised alarm bells in Egypt, the Arab world's most populous country, which fears a reduction of its historical share of Nile water.
Water distribution among Nile basin states has long been regulated by a colonial-era treaty giving Egypt and Sudan the lion's share of river water.
Ethiopia and Sudan have a joint border covering over 2000 kilometers.
