Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[ftwildernessguy]

Thanks. I just started ripping mine out!

We just got a notification of this a week or so ago at the VA hospital where I work. The lead content in these crowns is 3-4 times the amount in the paint on the toys, and the health concerns are much worse considering they are cemented in your mouth, constantly releasing the lead. Foreign labs are frequently used by dentists because of the low cost, and with today's delivery systems (FedEX and UPS), shipping is quick allowing for fast service. There is a lab in China which employs about 300 technicians - over 75% of their work is from the US.

Nicole, I really feel for you. My mother had Alzheimer's and when I finally had to move her from my home to the nursing home I ended up spending almost as much time with her there just to be sure she was getting the help she needed.

Granted, your DH is in a hospital and not a nursing home so hopefully you can be even more diligent for a shorter period of time. Hope that time is VERY short, I'm sure he'd be tons more comfortable at home with his girls.

My brother-in-law is a nurse down in Houston. It's true, too many admins and not enough worker bees that really care. He gets discouraged often, and he loves his job. He's moving to another hospital because of similar matters.

Hang in there. You have no idea how many people are praying for you. There's lots of lurkers on this particular thread as you probably well know. They may not post, but they are thinking of you.

Now, on a lighter note... tried the Kungaloosh recipe the other night... mmmmmmm. I'll be sharing that with friends at our next pool party. We have a mishmash of wood out back that will eventually become our new deck. The ground around here is pretty much like rock. Nothing a little jackhammer won't fix. Good ol' Texas.

Hmmm, I have 2 rows of tomatoes in my garden. As soon as they ripen i might set up a roadside stand. Maybe i'll make a profit.

Good Lord me too, why are my tomatoes taking so long this year to ripe ?

Well, I made it to Orlando. I was supposed to arrive around 11 p.m. but, due to delays out of Phill (I detest that airport) we pushed back from the gate almost an hour late and sat on the runway for another half hour. Got to my hotel around 1 a.m. Monday morning. I am catching up with friends from all over the world this week. So far I have seen friends from Peru, Canada, Germany, Holland, Brazil, Australia and the UK. Pretty good conference so far.

I plan to head over to the Fort on Friday before I fly home. I will put in a loop request. Then Saturday morning, SWMBO and I load the kids in the MH and it is back on the road, back to Orlando and Disney.

For those at the Fort (or in the parks) at this very moment, hope you are staying dry. It is raining merry hell outside right now.

Now I just have to figure out how to catch up on all the posts here since I was last on. You people can TYPE

Here is another song:

Name the song and/or artist

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

A lot of our produce comes from central and south america now. They routinely fertilize with human waste down there, and the human population suffers from a variety of intestinal problems - bacterial and parasite origin. It's sort of like the lead problem from China - how long are we going to allow our health to suffer in the interest of free trade? Perhaps the tomato problem didn't originate in central or south america, but i wonder every time i go to the grocery store and see the country of origin on the produce. By the way, has anyone heard about the lead in dental crowns being made in China??? You might ask your dentist the next time you need a crown where the lab is that he/she uses.

didn't they say that when the crown is ground down, mercury is ingested through the nose from the air? maybe different story, but if i need dental work and something has to come out (like a filling or crown) I am definitely asking before the drill gets a whirring!

How about this one:

Well the times are gettin' hard
For you little girl
I'm a-hummin' and a-strummin'
All over God's world
You can't remember when
You got your last meal
And you don't know
Just how a woman feels
You didn't know whatRock-n-roll was
Until you met my drummer
On a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands
Across your state line
