Today’s Quote
Thoughts for the day
A decent fall day.
Finally got a much needed haircut.
Feel much better and might even look a little less shaggy.
I’m helping out my brother with a short-term
loan. The banking process to do this is very frustrating. I asked the lady at
the teller desk to see a banker to do it, knowing it was complicated. She assured
me she could do it. I had to stand there in front of the glass barrio, show her
my phone that had the banking information in NYC for my brother. It to four
phone calls to my brother in Mexico to get it done. I had to hold the phone up with
the on speaker, so they could talk. I’m sure the others in the bank did not
appreciate it. After about 45 minutes she completed the information that the
computer liked. She had my ID and my debit card and said, now this has to be
reviewed by someone, so just have a seat over there and someone will bring you the
ID and debit card. I waited another 15 minutes. Another lady brought me my ID
and debit card. I said, so it’s done? When will he get the money? She said we did
it before 2pm so it should go through before end of business today. I got home
and called my brother and his account already had the funds. What a crazy
experience.
Myths
Myth #31: Brushing Your Teeth After Eating
You might fancy yourself the MVP of dental hygiene, sprinting
to the toothbrush after every meal, but hold onto that bristle! Surprisingly,
brushing your teeth too often can actually do more harm than good to those
pearly whites. Quite a twist, isn’t it? While regular brushing remains a
fundamental pillar of oral health, excessive zeal can strip your teeth of their
precious enamel.
The key isn’t just about frequency; it’s also about your
technique. So, no need to wield your toothbrush like you’re scrubbing a burnt
pan. Dental experts concur that twice a day is more than sufficient, provided
you focus on proper technique and make good use of fluoride toothpaste.

The world record for the longest
breath held voluntarily was achieved by Aleix Segura Vendrell, a free diver who
held his breath for an astounding 24 minutes and 3.45 seconds.
The misplaced apostrophe in Lands’ End (as opposed to Land’s End) resulted from a typo the fledgling clothing company couldn’t afford to fix. It’s still misspelled that way today.
His Full Name? Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno MarÃa de los Remedios Cipriano de la SantÃsima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
Mastercard and Visa were originally not-for-profit ventures who barely covered their operating expenses for the first several years eventually becoming trillion-dollar clearinghouses for merchants and consumers.
Why do we put signs like the dollar sign ($10) before the number, but with
percentages (10%) we put after, even when we say both signs after the numbers?
Ancient Roman Life
Being poor in Ancient Rome
meant you would live on a high rise
Rome was populated mainly by
those at the lower end of the income scale. They all needed somewhere to call
home, as they were part of the first city with over 1,000,000 inhabitants.
Solution? High rises. These apartment buildings were known as the insula,
meaning “island,” and could reach 100 feet in height.
The worst apartments were on
the highest floors. Because they were dark and cramped, it was likely that
someone would die in a fire. The bottom floors were reserved for people with
more money. Many rented rooms to multiple roommates. However, no apartment came
with running water or insulation.
