Sedation Dentistry Sedation Dentistry is a revolutionary way to accomplish your dental treatments without fear or anxiety. You dream…we work. Sedation Dentistry is often used during procedures that require an extensive amount of time in the treatment chair, and sedation is ideal for patients who exhibit dental phobia. Sedation Dentistry offers anxiety-free dental procedures as the patient is in a deeply relaxed state. though fully responsive. It means something even more important, a comfortable experience, so that little is felt or remembered from the dentistry procedure. When you awake, you are well rested, and your smile is healthier and more beautiful.
Shirley and Abe, a retired couple from New York City, living in Miami Beach, are getting ready to go out to dinner. Shirley says, "Abe, darling, do you want me to wear this Chanel suit or the Gucci?" Abe says, "Do I care?" A few minutes later Shirley says, "Abe, should I wear my Cartier watch or my Rolex?" Abe says, "Who cares?" A few more minutes pass and Shirley says, "Abe, love, shall I wear my five-carat pear diamond ring or my six-carat round diamond ring with the baguettes?" Abe says, "Shirley, I really don't care what you wear,

Implements of Math Destruction At New York's Kennedy airport today an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a square, a slide rule, and a calculator. The Attorney General believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a very fearsome cult, indeed", the Attorney General said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on a tangent in a search of absolute value. They consist of quite shadowy figures, with names like "x" and 5

A guy goes to a girl's house for the first time, and she shows him into the living room. She excuses herself to go to the kitchen to make them a few drinks, and as he's standing there alone, he notices a cute little vase on the mantel. He picks it up, and as he's looking at it, she walks back in. He says "What's this?" She says, "Oh, my father's ashes are in there." He says, "Jeez...oooh....I..."
She says, "Yeah, he's too lazy to go to the kitchen to get an ashtray."

The CIA lost track of it’s operative in Ireland “Murphy. ” The CIA boss says, “All I can tell you is that his name is Murphy and that he’s somewhere in Ireland. If you think you’ve located him, tell him the code words, “The weather forecast calls for mist in the morning. ” If it’s really him, he’ll answer, “Yes, and for mist at noon as well. ” So the spy hunter goes to Ireland and stops in a bar in one of the small towns. He says to the bartender, “Maybe you can help me. I’m looking for a guy named Murphy. ” The bartender replies, “You’re going to have to be more specific because, around here, there are lots of guys named Murphy. There’s Murphy the Baker, who runs the pastry shop on the next block. There’s Murphy the Banker, who’s president of our local savings bank. There’s Murphy the Blacksmith, who works at the stables. And, as a matter of fact, my name is Murphy, too. ” Hearing this, the spy hunter figures he might as well try the code words on the bartender, so he says, “The weather forecast calls for mist in the morning. ” The bartender replies, “Oh, you’re looking for Murphy the Spy. He lives right down the street. ”

Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
I love spring time. It is a time when everything in the woods comes alive. All the trees are blooming and the grass is green. Everything that was dead through the winter has found new life again. For me this time of year means that it is time to get on the water. I love to get in my canoe and navigate the rivers and lakes fishing up and down the shores. It is easy to enjoy God’s creation this time of year. The weather is perfect and the fish are biting. My boys and I love to camp and fish as much as we can and this time of year is perfect for teaching about the different trees and plants because everything is in bloom and has found new life. God provides everything we need just like He does for His creation. As outdoorsmen we harvest wild game and catch fish to eat which is provision given by Him. These are blessings from Him. God has an awesome way of bringing new life in His creation but you can’t experience it unless you are out there in it. The spring time also provides a good opportunity to get friends and family in the outdoors to learn and build your relationships with each other. There is nothing like spending time with my boys and watching them put into practice what I have taught them over the years about the outdoors while also creating life time memories that we will never forget. God brings new life to you as well. Jesus said that He has come to give you life and give it more abundantly. The bible says that when you accept Christ as Lord and Savior of your life that you are a new creation in Him. We need to pass this way of life down to our children and we also need to pass down the way of salvation is through Christ. Looking to Him in order to have life and have it more abundantly. Jesus died for you so that you can live for him. Take your kids out and enjoy this world that God has created but also teach them that as God has created new creation in the world around them that he can also create a new you! I’m TJ with Trails to God’s Great Outdoors. I will see you on the trail.

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.
Boomerang By: Wallace Kennedy, Jr.
A Boomerang is a bent or curved piece of tough wood used by the Australian Aborigines as a throwing club, one form of which can be thrown so as to return to the thrower. In modern days other materials can be used to fabricate one.

Today’s encouragement for your spiritual enrichment: Whatever in life that we give away comes back to us, some may use the term of “reaping what you sow.” All through the Bible we see different verses of Scriptures that let us know; how we treat others will impact how we are treated in return. Jesus said: Give and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. Luke 6:38 This is an old Principle of God that will never change. Genesis 8:22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. In simple terms, if you sow something, there will be a harvest for what was sown. Food for thought: If life was a Boomerang, we threw it and it was covered with: love, joy, peace, kindness, grace, forgiveness, mercy (tolerance for others mistakes/longsuffering) temperance (self-control) faithfulness, gentleness (not easily angered) and such like these. These are the same things that will come back to us. See Galatians 5:22-23 Now, throw your Boomerang, check what it is covered with because those are the life experiences that will be returned to our lives. 15

Kidney stones are rock-like pieces that can form in the urinary system, usually in the kidney. They may be very small or may grow to the size of a small pebble or larger. Small kidney stones often leave the body without a person even knowing about them, while larger stones may get stuck in one of the two ureters, causing pain and sometimes blocking urine flow. Anyone can get kidney stones, but they are most common in men aged 20 to 60. Kidney stones are usually caused when water and waste in the urine are out of balance. When this happens, certain types of waste crystals separate from the urine. Instead of going out of the body in the urine, the crystals build up. Examples of these crystals are uric acid, calcium, phosphate and oxalate. As the crystals build up, they form clumps, or kidney stones. According to Dr. Juan Fernandez, Urologist at Dale Medical Center, you might be at higher risk of having kidney stones if: · You don't drink enough liquids (especially water) each day. · You have urinary tract infections often. · You eat a certain type of diet. For example, people who eat diet high in meat or salt may be at higher risk of developing kidney stones.

An ounce of prevention. •Immunizations: Your new kitten will need to visit the veterinary clinic every 3-4 weeks during kittenhood to build immunity through vaccination. •Frequent, regular fecal examinations and deworming •Testing for Feline Leukemia Virus •Heartworm/Flea/Tick preventive •Identification tag/Microchip •Spay/Neuter your kitten •High quality diet formulated for kittens •Kitten-proof your home: remove toxins, electrical cords and heavy objects that could fall on your kitten. •Indoor cats live longer, healthier lives. If cats go outdoors, they should be closely supervised at all times. •Handle your kitten’s mouth, feet and ears often so they learn to tolerate tooth brushing, nail trims and ear cleanings. Exercise and mental stimulation. Playtime with your kitten is great bonding time and gives your kitten a chance to learn how the world works. Offer toys that stimulate movement, such as fishing toys, balls and boxes. Toys that emulate the wild nature of your kitten (e.g.: tall scratching posts, perches) help stimulate normal behaviors and prevent unwanted behaviors. Use caution with string and small objects for toys as they can become stuck inside your cat’s body. Do not allow your kitten to play with electrical cords.

If a man does his best, what more can we ask from him? Do you find yourself looking at others your own age and thinking, "Surely I can't look that old?" If so, you'll love this one!
Artisan�Shopping�On�The�Square
I was sitting in the waiting room of my new dentist. It was my first appointment. I noticed his diploma on the wall, which had his full name. Suddenly, I recalled a tall, dark haired, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class nearly 50 years ago. Could this be the same boy I had a secret crush on, way back then?
Old Saying Hidden in a Word Picture Puzzle
When I saw him, however, I quickly discarded that thought. This gray haired, balding man with the deeply wrinkled face was way too old to have been my classmate. Hmmm! Or could he? After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Northampton High School. "Yes, I did!" he said. "I'm a Konkrete Kid." He gleamed with pride. "What year did you graduate?" I asked. "In 1959," he said. "Why do you ask?" "I was in your class!" I exclaimed. He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, wrinkled, old, fat, bald, gray, decrepit SOB asked, "What did you teach?"

Denny's Beer Barrel Pub, in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, already held the title with a 6lb burger; owners thought a 15-pound burger would prove an even bigger attraction, reports the Pittsburgh PostGazette. Diners who can finish the $44 burger in less than five hours win $350, a T-shirt and their name posted on the pub's wall of fame. They also got the burger for free." Every restaurant needs a gimmick ours is big burgers," said Dennis Liegey III, son of the restaurant's owner. Visitors come from as far away as Australia and California just to see the 6pounders and try to eat them. The new burger, dubbed the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, is as big around as the inside of a car tire. Each one comes with a cup and half of mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup, a head of lettuce, two onions, three tomatoes and 25 slices of cheese.

The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version." 21

MENTAL PATIENTS Jack and Sue were both in a mental hospital. Once they were walking past a swimming pool, Jack suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sunk to the bottom and stayed there. Sue promptly jumped in to save him. He swam to the bottom and pulled Jack out. When the medical director became aware of Sue's heroic act, he immediately ordered him to be discharged from the hospital, as he now considered him to be mentally stable. When he went to tell Sue the news, he said, “Sue, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged because since you were able to jump in and save the life of another patient, I think you've regained your senses.” The bad news is Jack, the patient you saved, hung himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom. I am so sorry, but he's dead.' Sue replied, “He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry.”

Hello faithful readers, This month I'd like to start an idea for the next several articles based on "tough decisions". I would really like for this thread of topics to stimulate you readers to send me a question related to a tough dental decision you and your dentist have had to make regarding your dental health. I speak for my colleagues in saying that the toughest part about dentistry much of the time is not so much doing the work, but deciding between several options for treatment. While technology has blessed us with some great new materials and techniques to use, it has also added to the number of options for treatment. I'll sometimes confuse patients with more options than they can comprehend at one time! I don't mean to do that, but it is our obligation as caregivers to give the options that are available to us. We'll dig right into that next month and please consider sending your "tough decision" to me. The publisher and I will keep all questions anonymous.

TWO PART QUESTION Bob had finally made it to the last round of the $50,000 Question. The night before the big question, he told the host MC that he desired a question on American History. The big night arrived. Bob made his way onstage in front of the studio and TV audience. He had become the talk of the week. He was the best guest this show had ever seen. The MC stepped up to the mike. "Bob, you have chosen American History as your final question. You know that if you correctly answer this question, you will walk away $50,000 dollars richer. Are you ready?" Bob nodded with a cocky confidence -- the crowd went nuts. He hadn't missed a question all week.
"Bob, yours is a two-part question. As you know, you may answer either part first. As a rule, the second half of the question is always easier. Which part would you like to take a stab at first?" Bob was becoming more noticeably nervous. He couldn't believe it, but he was not sure, but American History was his easiest subject, and he played it safe. "I'll try the easier part first." The MC nodded approvingly. "Here we go Bob. I will ask you the second half first, then the first half." The audience grew silent with gross anticipation... "Bob, here is your question: And in what year did it happen?"

THE BEST THING TO DO BEHIND A PERSON’S BACK IS TO PAT IT..
Drunk in Saudi Arabia An Englishman, a German and a Frenchman are all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze when, all of a sudden, Saudi police rush in and arrest them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they are all sentenced to death! However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentences down to life imprisonment. By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheikh decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping. The German was first in line, he thought for a while and then said: "Please tie a pillow to my back. This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. When the punishment was done the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain. The Frenchman was next up. After watching the German in horror he said smugly: "Please fix two pillows to my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again and the Frenchman was soon led away whimpering loudly. The Englishman was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from a most beautiful part of the world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!" "Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness," the Englishman replied. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes." "Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave," the Sheikh said with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish, what is it to be?" the Sheikh asked. The Englishman smiled and said, "Tie the Frenchman to my back."
