love thing - just can't get it right

Are you serious about the heart disease thing? from teeth? how the hell would that happen.

Cut out the pop--seriously. Carbonated beverages literally eat the enamel off your teeth. Plus the sugar...its like setting up a buffet for the bacteria in your mouth.

Yeah, I'm serious about the heart disease. Science is finding more relationship between heart problems and infection. When you have cavities or even gum disease (periodontal disease--gum problems), bacteria and viruses can more easily gain access to your blood stream or impact your nervous system--your mouth has a whole network of veins and arteries as well as nerves.

Periodontal disease is also linked to pneumonia. I am happy to have exceptionally healthy teeth. I've never even had a cavity. It is a genetic fluke. A great deal of tooth decay can be blamed on an individual's biochemistry. If you are genetically unlucky, you need to me more aggressive about taking care of your teeth.

Miso - I am having coffee right this minute. Yum.

I'm 23 and have had only 2 cavities, got good teeth like Vash! Had braces and had wisdom tooth out though lol [pointless information/].

I don't drink much tea or coffee but drink pop.

You lucky bastards. My teeth are freaking hell.

Go to the dentist?

[Gigabitch]

OV, don't give up on taking care of them, even if it's a drag. Otherwise, you'll end up with dentures by the time you're 40. Eeew.

Hi all,

I'm feeling sorry for myself tonite so I thought I'll come on here for some support. My love life is all wrong. I'm 28. Looking back at my life, the only relationships that worked were the ones where I was not involved, meaning I did not like the guy. Every time I am into someone, it doesn't work for whatever reason. Additionally, I fall for the WRONG GUYS. I fell for this musician who ended up being abusive towards me, I actually thought I loved him. He made me feel alive and I don't feel like that often with other people. This guy hurt my self esteem so badly and I never thought I had the battered woman syndrome. He called me the other day to get back together and I know better...I should never see that guy again. The only other guy that gives me that "feeling" moved to another state around 2 years ago. We keep in touch and he comes to visit. I absolutely love him and think he is my soul mate. He fullfills me completely. When I'm around him, I really don't need anything else, he is like my air. Unfortunately, he seems like he is emotionally unavailable. He claims that if we were in the same state, we would still be together. He is raising a child by himself and this saps most of his energies. He comes whenever he can but there is never a talk about where our relationship is going. At the same time, I know for a fact he is not seeing anyone else. And he claims he loves me but I never hear from him unless we get together.
I'm 28, I want to start a family but everyone I meet doesn't measure up to that guy. (the musician was a distraction - one that actually lasted, all the other "distractions" are very short lived.) What do I do? Everything is so unclear, up in the air.

You don't need a man to be happy. You are insecure. Build your self esteem...your self confidance...first !!!
You rely on the wrong person to make u happy....only You can make u happy.
You have attracted a person who felt that in you...and he abused you.
Abusers are afraid of a strong self confidant woman.
My advice...work on yourself. Get counselling. Feel good about who you really are..the rest will follow...I promise
