363: What s The Lowdown On Dental Hygiene
If the tooth be told, George Washington's dentures weren't made of wood. They were made of bone.

365: Where is that Mycroft Holmes When We Really Need Him
As a kid, Sherlock Holmes was my hero. Here was really a cool guy if there ever was one. He knew almost everything about everything and could solve almost any crime, even crimes that had stumped Her Majesty's best. But even Sherlock had his days.
On those rare but revealing occasions when our good Sherlock was bested, he had to swallow his
366: Where Is The Magic In Life
The magician asked me to pick a card, write my name on it and shuffle it back into the deck. The next time I saw that card it was in a sealed bottle of Fiji water. If you know how he did it, don't tell me. I like to be tricked.
I like to watch magicians make things disappear. I don't want to know how the woman disappeared from a locked trunk or
367: Who Knew Pyrotechnics Is A Hobby
A hobby gives us a chance to do something the best we can; but because we're not being paid to do it, no one tells us we're not doing it well enough. My grandfather's hobby was collecting. He collected coins and stamps and guns and clocks. I didn't get the collector gene. The three, glass hearts on the coffee table aren't a collection - two looked
368: Who Put Hospital In Hospitality
I hadn't spent the night in a hospital since I had my last child and more than diapers have changed. I'd had fond memories of a caring nurse remaking my bed after helping me to the bathroom. Not anymore. This time when I rang for help, what I got was a yell from the desk nurse, telling me the nursing assistant - the only nursing assistant - was bus
369: Who Put The I In Icon
How did the iconic Rice-A-Roni become "The San Francisco Treat"? In 1946 a Canadian woman married an Italian immigrant, who worked in his father's, San Francisco, pasta factory.

370: Who Put The Place In Placebo
The good news is my husband believes everything has a place. The bad news is the place is wherever he puts something down. As a newlywed, I was an enabler - otherwise known as John's live-in pick-up. I folded clothes and put them away until my enthusiasm folded. Three years later things changed. John became a father. When he came home, he had to st
371: Who Put The Toil In Toilets
Every woman has waited in line to use a toilet and every man has waited for a woman who is waiting in line. Because the designers of a new arena at St. Louis University knew that, they installed more ceramic commodes for women, unintentionally breaking the law. Missouri is one of the states that requires an equal number of porcelain facilities for
372: Who Put The Word Age In Marriage
My marriage was the result of opposites attracting. When I got married, I believed everything had its place. So did John, but for him the place was wherever he left something. If you saw John's office, you'd know he thinks a man's home is his castle. In fact, in his office John is Prince of Piles.
If I had a dollar for every time John said, "Do
373: Who Put U In Restaurants
Who knew that 46.4% of the average American's food dollar is spent in restaurants? Our lives have gotten so hectic we don't have time to defrost dinner or put something in the microwave.
I remember when going out to eat was a treat. Now, in spite of eating out being more expensive and less healthy for us, it's becoming a necessity.
Because I
374: Who Puts The Have Into Have-To s
Cooking is a daily have-to. When I got married, I saw cooking as my duty. When I had young children, I saw it as my responsibility. Now I'm wearing glasses and I see things differently. Now I see cook as a four-letter word. When bespectacled me was looking for help online, I found "Dream Dinners". Dream Dinners is a food preparation franchise. They

Women live an average of five years longer than men. That shouldn't be a surprise. That's life.
It begins with girls playing less violent games. As girls grow up, they play the same sports as boys; but they don't play them as violently. When girls grow from adolescence to womanhood, they're not limping.
