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.

Random Thoughts…

Vincent Van Gogh had an older brother, also named Vincent, who died exactly one year to the day before the famous painter was born.

One of the 7 Wonders of the Middle Ages: Porcelain Tower of Nanjing in Nanjing, China, constructed in the early 1400s.

In less than 100 years, humanity has witnessed two global conflicts, the invention and use of the atomic bomb, three flu epidemics, the invention of the computer and smartphones, the first moon landing, and pet rocks.

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.
