What are you going to do today?

[WolFish]

Not much today, just get my paperwork together for my appointment with the tax guy ... and also
try to get my head together for my dental appointment.  My teeth are an ongoing source of worry for me.
My dental health is one area of my life in which I probably can't "make up for lost time."  I've heard that
there are new processes in trial that can enable decayed teeth to remineralize, but those advances will
almost certainly be too late for my teeth.  I just have to get strict about daily care and proactive about
treatment, which will involve a lot of out-of-pocket expenses.  I'm listening to this now, it's apropos. 

my dentist recommended xylitol, which with daily use can fix your mouth bacteria from the bad ones to the good ones. check out the studies in nih/ncbi for studies. dunno if it would help but there is some indication that remineralization of enamel also results from regular xylitol use: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14700079


sorry for the late post. not getting out much

That.

  Wolfy, isn't Xylitol an artificial sweetener?  Have I perhaps been rebuilding my teeth already
    with my daily consumption of sugar-free mints?  That would be cool if it were possible.

Get a document "medallioned" so I can have ownership of PA's stock and get it sold.

(Much less exciting than it sounds.  Bank merely stamps "mecallions" the document, I mail it and the company sells or buys back the stock.)

Take care of DD who is home sick with a nasty headache. Teach DS. Clean the kitchen.

  I think I was thinking of Sorbitol.

Xylitol is a sweetener too. Often found in chewinggum.

  So I was right the first time.  Maybe the mints are helping, then.

Just be careful with that sugar free stuff.

 
Remember the jelly beans.

["couldbecousin"]

  I miss the licorice jellybeans most of all, I used to buy bags of just those.

  Finish getting caffeinated, wash and dry my brushes and paints, maybe paint
   something before my evening appointment, definitely paint when I get home
   and while watching Jurassic World.

I didn't know you painted.

I didn't know you painted.

  I started last fall after 30-plus years of not doing it.  Acrylic paint, abstracts.
