Thoughts for the day
A nice fall day.
When I arrived at the dentist yesterday,
there was a letter posted near the door. I didn’t read it as I was in a hurry.
After my teeth cleaning the normal dentist tooth check didn’t happen. I paid my
bill, got my next cleaning appointment, then left. This time I read the note.
The letter, from the dentist, said his license had been suspended and that he was
working on fixing it. Scary. When I got home I called them with a different code
for my cleaning. She said she would check it. I asked when the Dr. would be
back in the office. She said she didn’t know. I tried to check him out on line
at the AZ dental licenses. His name was not listed. Guess I’ll be finding a new
dentist.
Myths
Myth #19: The Brain’s Capacity
Erase that notion from your mind—the
idea that your brain lounges around at a mere 10% capacity. The truth is, every
nook and cranny of your brain is on the clock, working tirelessly 24/7, even
during those moments when you’re deep in slumber or lost in daydreams.
Peek into your brain with the help of
a brain scan, and you’ll find that it’s firing on all cylinders, even when
you’re tackling the simplest of tasks. So, whether you’re crunching complex
equations or deciding what’s for dinner, your brain orchestrates a symphony of
activity.

Ancient Roman Life
Men had all the power while
women had none in Rome
Do you want to see how Rome’s
family hierarchy worked? It appears that men possessed all power, while women
had none. Men could arrange marriages, divorce their wives, and reject newborns
if necessary.
Women were also expected to
marry men and have kids. If they didn’t, they were accused of being the
problem. They also had to look after the house and work as servers, nurses, or
crafters. They did not get a first name and instead used the feminine interpretation
of their fathers’ names.
