Will you be watching the new day time crime show called Crime Watch Daily? It’s hosted by Matt Doran and will cover crime stories from a different angle. I personally think it looks fascinating! Check it out and set your DVRs!
MSN has an article that states what I have believed for years. They say that dentists may be taking advantage of their patients for a variety of reasons. Click here to read the article.
Sadly, I have seen it firsthand and witnessed it myself, repeatedly. The amount of honest dentists I have encountered in the past ten years are far and few between. I have experienced dentists telling me that I need fillings when another dentist showed me the spot that I was told needed a filling actually was a tooth defect, and I had the same hole/defect in another tooth parallel in my mouth. It wasn’t a cavity and it was obvious to anyone when looked at.
My mom was told she needed a root canal because she had an abscess when none existed and she needed teeth extracted when it wasn’t so. And my husband was told that all of his filling needed to be replaced–exactly as the article said. All of which were flat out lies!
I suggest reading this article to get more insight into the field of dentistry. If you want to avoid being scammed, asked your dentist to show you why you need the work so you can understand what they think. If I am told I have a cavity, I ask them to show me the tooth so I can see, and tell me why. Then go home read about it and get a second opinion before you do anything. That’s what I do and I haven’t regretted it once.
I really enjoyed the facial expressions in this video. What do you see? I will share my answer in the comment section in the coming days!
I got a haunting call yesterday. A man called, it sounded like from India, and told me that he was calling from Dell about my Dell (Model number mentioned) computer. So I listened more seriously. He said my computer was sending error messages to Dell and we needed to fix it.
Alarm bells immediately went up.
What?
I knew that was nonsense!!
So I said to him, if you are from Dell, email me from your Dell.com email account now.
And he said, “No, no, no!!”
And by the tone of his voice, I was 100% sure it was a scam.
I hung up.
But now I am worried. Did someone at Dell sell customer’s information to scammers? Did Dell have a data breach? How come this stranger in India knew I owned a Dell, knew my model number and how did he get my phone number? I have not put that online anywhere!!
Something stinks here, and I’m not liking it.
I tweeted Dell yesterday, and they told me to report it to the FTC. I did, but I’m still uneasy.
What do you think?
Every now and then in life we connect up with someone who causes us to stop and pause.
They cause us to THINK. Deeply.
When the words first hit you, you sit and ponder. You look around. Things suddenly feel different. You sense this is not the usual conversation.
Perhaps it is that they ponder questions that you too have mulled around, but never shared with another soul. Or they provoke and stir thoughts that you never dared to consider.
And it shakes you.
To the core.
Sometimes these interactions cause a blurred lens to come into focus on something you are passionate about, or something you didn’t see or perhaps forgot about.
And these discoveries ignite you, and renew your passion. They fill your sails.
That’s what recently happened to me.
I reconnected with a friend I made several years ago, and his passion and enthusiasm for life has just breathed excitement back into mine and awoke some of my own feelings within. We share a joy of living and we are both people who are willing to take risks, and walk off the “expected path” of life to live! We share a bond on that.
David decided to question his life and challenge himself to live his most authentic life, and his adventure is just inspiring! And he is writing a blog about his journey.
I couldn’t give any higher recommendation than to say this is a must read for all people.
David is incredibly intelligent, smart, creative and talented, and he is so beautifully articulate, you can’t miss a blog post of his, because he’ll challenge you to think outside of the box.
And we all need this challenge in life–to think beyond what we know and understand, and to question if there more to this life than doing what is given, or expected.
Are you living your life to the fullest?
