{Note: What follows was written after an unusual long amount of thought provoking comments from friends after posing the question: Should I move to Germany or Stay in the United States? }

Yes, Well, what a great thread here. I believe Bianca’s point is that Americans don’t understand Europe and that is understandable since most of us have not been there. I do believe America is a great country, but after seeing Europe, I have come to understand that America has some flaws.

Unfortunately, most Americans appear to be oblivious to what those flaws are. Many of our very ‘American’ attitudes serve a system that is not actually very supportive of the average American. On the other hand, I do not believe in socialism either. But whether Americans want to believe it or not, we actually do live in a socialistic country.

So, in closing, I’ll just say that I want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments. I’ve put the decision in Bianca’s hands because I have come to realize that it would be very unfair of me to be stubborn and insist that she moves here. While I do hope she will choose to move here, I hope even more that she will did it of her own accord and not be left with the feeling that she ‘had no choice’.

For me, although there is absolutely nothing wrong with Germany, in the final analysis, I do not want to live there. I do think it is possible that life would actually be better in Germany and that is another reason that I am leaving the final decision in Bianca’s hands.

One final thought: The German system is actually quite a good one. And it is clear to me after spending time in Germany that many of our ‘American’ values are actually German in origin. Given that much of our original population was German, I do not believe it is at all far fetched to say that.

Chlorhexidine is a powerful chemical formula that is prescribed as a mouthwash mostly after dental surgery in the United States. This mouthwash may also be prescribed for various other situations.

Most often you will also receive a warning not to use it for more than two or a few weeks. This is because Chlorhexidine can stain your teeth.

Things are little different in Europe than in the United States. Some things are sold over-the-counter there that you cannot get without a prescription in the United States.

I was in a drug store in Germany and found some Chlorhexidine. I was initially excited because it claimed to be an “anti-staining’ formula. Since I was travelling and did not have access to the tools I normally use for my daily oral care, I thought I’d give this ‘anti-staining’ formula a try.

Forget it! Within a week I could see that it was beginning to stain my teeth. I promptly stopped using it.

Dental health is a problem for almost every human being alive. There is a small percentage of the population that appears to be immune to gum disease, but most of us have to fight against it at one point or another.

In fact, as I recall, I found a stat on the Mayo Clinic’s website stating that 95% of people over age 65 have some form of gum disease. If true, the implications are staggering! Just think about it.

The problem is that this is not a disease that happens as a result of aging as many people think. You can be six years old and have the disease. What is important is that people become more aware of it.

Even your dentist will tell you that your dental health is largely up to what you do at home! They can only see you a couple to a few times a year at most. That does mean that the bulk of the work in caring for your dental health falls on you personally. This is one of those things that we pretty much have to do for ourselves!

Learn what you can do to help stop the progression of gum disease based on what you do at home. Prevent this serious problem from causing you to lose teeth.

Halitosis has really become an issue for people who practice proper hygiene. With all the products available in the market today, having unhealthy gums and teeth when paired with foul smelling mouth odor is a mortal sin.

You have to understand that there are different reasons for having halitosis and one could be due to dental problems. Several other reasons could be the medications you take for a certain condition and the kind of foods you eat.

These causes of bad breath are reversible. When dental problem is the issue, your dentist is always within reach – it can be costly to pay a visit to a dental pro but it becomes your best option when you have multiple decaying teeth. Try therabreath products – they are oxygenated and pH balanced.

With the issue of foods like garlic and onion – it will clear overnight. Many dentists advise the use of alcohol-free mouthwash for a safer and more effective rinse. A portable oral irrigator may be helpful – it’s easy to carry and can be placed in a purse or convenience bag.

Sinusitis could also be a cause of halitosis as the airway is affected. The person needs to breathe through the mouth, it adds up to the drying up of the oral cavity and thus become a breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria. The mucous also never clears up so it encourages the bacteria to multiply and later on lead to abscess or pus formation.

Can you imagine how that would manifest when the only exit for that smell is your mouth. It could really be repulsive but you become helpless the situation is out of control. It is time to consult your medical professional to correct your sinusitis problem. Halitosis can still be reversible at this point but the treatment may be more complicated.

Have you ever had the distinct notion that people really do not know what they want or even what they are looking for? I believe this to be true because you can find someone who states that they want a solution to something. You offer them the perfect solution and yet they are not interested.

Next, you see this person get something that you know for sure is not going to help them solve the problem they stated to you. It is really interesting.

You try to help someone and they turn down that help and go in a direction that you know will not help them. Some people have to learn the hard way, I guess. In fact, it seems that most people have to learn the hard way.

It is also insulting when people don’t trust you enough to take your advice. But, that is life. Everyone, is living in a world of confusion. If they knew the perfect answer for themselves, they wouldn’t be looking for any answers.

This shows how incredibly ignorant human kind is. I am not singling anyone out here. I am including myself. So do not think that I am talking directly to you. I really mean all of us that are human.

Take the topic of gum disease for example. It is an important problem that many people have. Yet, most people are not aware that they even have gum disease. They will not believe you even if you tell them.

However, the statistics that dental care professionals share with us indicate that up to 80% of people have gum disease right now. You can talk to people until you are blue in the face about this problem, but they still won’t believe they have it or that they should do anything about it.

It is kind of like bad breath. Many people have it, but they don’t seem to realize that they have it. They get use to their own breath.

We live in a strange world.

Find out: Who is Calling Me?

Let’s face it, there have been plenty of times when a phone number has shown up on your cell phone or home caller id and you thought, “Who is that”????

In reality you really want to find out two things: 1. Who they are? and 2. What do they want?

I know that more than 50% of the time, if you know who they are, you will know what they want.

So don’t worry too much about the second question until you have the answer to the first.

Now, this has happened to me recently. Someone called me and said they were from an agency of my State (Kansas). But the things he said, his accent, and his questions made me doubt very much that he was honest about working for a state agency.

I would like to know who this person is. Next time, if I can get a viable number, I can look it up utilizing the tool below. Just click on the green button to find out who is calling you.

Once you know who it is, you can often determine what they really want. Is it someone you care about? Is it someone who has devious intentions? Just who is it?

Look up those numbers that have been troubling you and put your mind to rest so that you don’t have to spend another second thinking about it. Reverse Check it!
