Claddagh Rings Are Also Popular As Irish Wedding Rings. With A History That Dates Back To Over 300 Years, Claddagh Rings Are Named After An Ancient Fishing Village By The Same Name In Ireland. Modernisation Has Snatched The Natural Beauty Of This Old Fishing Village But The Significance Of The Claddagh Ring Lives On. The Mother Presents Her Claddagh Ring To Her Daughter On The Daughter's Wedding Day. The Popularity Of The Claddagh Ring Now Extends Far Beyond The Small Fishing Village Or Ireland. The Ring Is Worn All Over The Globe Probably As The Symbol Of Love, Friendship And Loyalty That It Represents. The Increasing Violence And Obscenity That We See In Society Is Due To The Diminishing Existence And Belief In The Three Virtues Of Love, Friendship And Loyalty.

Airies, there are all kinds of rings:Promises

 

 

A promise should never be made that can't be kept. For those very special promises, there is no better reminder of this pledge than a promise ring - an unending circle, a visible symbol of faith.

While there are no hard and fast rules regarding the giving of promise rings, some general guidelines may make things easier.

 

Promise Rings Meaning: The promise ring is given for virtually any type of promise made between two people. Popular modern day reasons to give promise rings and friendship rings are discussed here. More information...

 

History of the Promise Ring: While the concept of promise rings may seem like something new and original, mythology and sacred writings tell us otherwise. More information...

How to measure your foot and find its size & width

You can accurately determine your foot size and width using these simple instructions and the size and width tables below. The results will be the same as if your foot was measured with the familiar Brannock Device used in shoe stores. You'll need :

 

 

A chair

A sheet of paper on which to trace an outline of your foot

A pen or pencil

A measuring tape or ruler

Socks of the type you intend to wear with the boots

Before starting, you should wade through the long dissertation on sizing and socks above so you'll know what type of sock to wear. You also should consider the following points about feet.

 

 

Feet swell a bit and get larger as the day passes. So you should measure later in the the day.

As people pass through their middle forties into their fifties, their feet get larger. You can expect to gain a half to a full size during this period.

Left and right feet often differ slightly in size. Measure both feet and use the measurement for the larger foot. If the difference is over a half size, consider ordering custom fitted boots so that each foot can be accomodated with a boot of the correct size.

Follow these steps for each foot. It is easier to have someone else do the tracing of the foot.

 

 

Sit in a chair with the foot firmly placed on a piece of paper large enough to make a tracing around the whole foot. Your leg should be tilted slightly forward so it will not interfere with the pencil as you trace around your heel.

 

Trace an outline of the foot with a pencil held perpendicular to the paper at all times. Ensure that the pencil is held snug against the foot during the tracing.

 

 

 

 

Measure the length and width of the tracing at the points shown in the diagram below.

 

 

The tracing will be slightly larger than your feet because of the thickness of the pencil. Subtract 0.2 Inches ( 5 mm ) from each measurement to compensate for the thickness of the pen or pencil. This correction gives you the actual length and width of your foot.

 

So, if the tracing of your foot measures 10.5 inches long, you subtract 0.2 inches (.5 mm) to get the actual length of your foot which is 10.3 inches which is about U.S. men's size 9.

 

Note that you can place your foot between two flat, solid objects such as bricks then measure the length and width between the bricks. In this case you get the actual length and width immediately and do not need to subtract anything to compensate for the pencil thickness.

 

 

Enter the Boot Size Chart with your corrected length measurement and find the USA Men's size.

 

Enter the Boot Width Chart with the USA Men's size and find the closest match to your corrected width measurement on that row. The column gives the USA width measurement. The Boot Width chart is in Inches. To convert from centimeters to inches, divide by 2.54.

"Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey" I'm UP!!!!!

 

Morning Airies. Barometric Pressure is at 29.9 :huh: Looks to be a nice day out there. EXCEPT for the huge cloud banks. :blink: It got very cold last night and I closed all my windows. So I don't know if it's warm out there yet. Sure feels like Fall though. Two more weeks til the first day of Autumn. Airies? Where are you? And ILikeSeven, you alright Man?? Yillara? You still with us?? Or did you get blown out into the middle of the Atlantic yet?? :o :huh: Hello? Hello? This studio sure is empty right now, except for the sound guy and he's asleep draped over his console. :huh:

Sitting here at almost 4 A.M. thinking I should try to go back to bed and go to sleep. But I don't feel sleepy. But I should try anyway, this is insane to be sitting here at this hour. :huh:

Oh :huh: :sadwalk:

Why is eveyone disgusted??? :huh:

:huh: :gossip: :huh:

It's 3 A.M. I just woke up Fell asleep too early, now I'm up. Can't do my Barometric Pressure Report yet, it's still dark out and I can't see the sky. Oh wait, yes I can. It's a Cresent Moon with just a few wispy clouds floating in front of it. I can hear the wind in the trees. :huh: I'm sitting here in candle-light only. Very romantic, but I'm here all alone :huh: :huh:

Can anyone truly master Trivia?? :huh:

OK, I am suspecting that it's not my teeth right now. I think I have injured my jaw. Because on the left side of my head, right below my ear is hurting and when it hurts my teeth start hurting too. So I looked up TemporoMandibular Joint Injury on Yahoo, this is just one piece I found, there are alot more and look at this,I'll see if I can find a visual:

 

The temporomandibular joint dysfunction TMJ (jaw joint) personal injury

In an auto accident head contact of any kind is a potential source of a condition that may not manifest itself for weeks: Temporalmandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ). The TMJ is also sometimes referred as temporomandibular joint and may not manifest itself for some time following the trauma. Moreover, TMJ pain may disguise itself: for example some doctors fail to diagnose TMJ-induced headaches.

 

In the case of a car accident note all contacts you think your body made and tell the officer, EMT, ER, insurance adjuster, and your own doctor about these contacts between the vehicle and your body, even if you think nothing of it at the time.

 

A second example is one in which a specialist, a dentist, has not kept track of the research and reports in the past decade in respect to temporalmandibular joint TMJ causation. It is now commonly understood (although still argued by the insurance industry) that severe whiplash can cause a jaw joint injury. This can result in the movement of a disc within the jaw joint resulting in a number of symptoms. The symptoms can grow increasingly active over the years, progressing from a general ache to a headache to popping and snapping when chewing.

 

A claimant, who follows the directions provided by SettlementCentral.Com, will discuss this pain with his medical doctor. The medical doctor, believing that she may have sustained an injury intends to refer her to a dentist and she elects to go to her own dentist. Her own dentist is a general practitioner, whose knowledge of TMJ is limited. He believes that stress or a direct blow to the head can cause it. Therefore, he will emphasis in his interview stress source to her life. He will conclude that he is unable to determine the source of the problem but he will mention the stress and also mention the auto accident.

 

The problem with this incomplete analysis is that he has just undermined the claimant's TMJ insurance claim, and she will have extreme difficulty receiving any compensation for the pain and medical attention she will incur because of the personal injury to her jaw joint although it is a direct result of an auto accident

Yea, good isn't it? :huh: There are two kinds, Dentemp and Dentrol??? The other one is better. You don't have to mix it. Yea, once that tooth starts going nuts on you it takes a while to calm down. I hate toothaches. :huh: I'd rather have a sharp stick in my eye :huh: Just kidding. No they're bad. Good luck with that.

Just so you know. Fluoride rinse or gel is sold by prescription only. Call the dentist. I kind of suspect that the calcium toothepaste won't do any good because you need to get calcium internally. Another So I just bought 2 cases of yogurt. Guess what I'll be snacking on for a while.

My memory hasn't faded on how bad it was. I have nightmares about it still. And I was no where near New York when it happened. Whenever I hear a jet overhead now I always think of that day. We better NOT forget. This Saturday it will be 3 years since that day. The September sky scares me now.

AWW, too bad there isn't such a thing as "Rent-A-Computer" Great idea huh? New business venture for the right person. ???

No, I'm not a dentist Airies I looked this stuff up, that's how you help yourself. I'm sitting here waiting for the pharmacy to open right now. I'm going to get some fluoride rinse. GOD, I hope I can get it without a script. I know I did this to myself with that whitening toothpaste. I've done it before. I also heard about a new toothpaste that has liquid calcium in it to rebuild tooth enamel a little. RC, go get some "DenTemp". You can stuff it in there until you can see your dentist. I've lost a filling before and I know what it's like.

Sure Airies, why NOT take Friday off??? I can't think of a good reason, can you??? Play in here all day with us. :) ILikeSeven, you awake yet???Come on, Man, your up!!! :lol:

OOPS Pain'll do that to a person.

I'm having this problem right now

 

 

Why Are My Teeth Sensitive?

Tooth sensitivity is caused by the stimulation of cells within tiny tubes located in the dentin (the layer of tissue found beneath the hard enamel that contains the inner pulp). When the hard enamel is worn down or gums have receded-causing the tiny tube surfaces to be exposed-pain can be caused by eating or drinking food and beverages that are hot or cold; touching your teeth; or exposing them to cold air.

 

Hot and cold temperature changes cause your teeth to expand and contract. Over time, your teeth can develop microscopic cracks that allow these sensations to seep through to the nerves. Exposed areas of the tooth can cause pain and even affect or change your eating, drinking and breathing habits. Taking a spoonful of ice cream, for example, can be a painful experience for people with sensitive teeth.

 

Is tooth sensitivity a common condition?

Sensitive teeth is one of the most common complaints among dental patients. At least 45 million adults in the United States and 5 million Canadians, suffer at some time from sensitive teeth.

 

How can I avoid sensitivity?

Some toothpastes contain abrasive ingredients that may be too harsh for people who have sensitive teeth. Ingredients found in some whitening toothpastes that lighten and/or remove certain stains from enamel, and sodium pyrophosphate, the key ingredient in tartar-control toothpastes may increase tooth sensitivity.

 

What can I do about sensitive teeth?

Tooth sensitivity can be reduced by using a desensitizing toothpaste, applying sealants and other desensitizing ionization and filling materials including fluoride by your dentist, and decreasing the intake of acid-containing foods. Tartar control toothpastes will sometimes cause teeth to be sensitive as well as drinking diet soft drinks throughout the day.

 

Avoid using hard bristled toothbrushes and brushing your teeth too hard, which can wear down the tooth's root surface and expose sensitive spots. The way to find out if you're brushing your teeth too hard is to take a good look at your toothbrush. If the bristles are pointing in multiple directions, you're brushing too hard.

 

How do I know when it's time to see a dentist?

If a tooth is highly sensitive for more than three or four days, and reacts to hot and cold temperatures, it's best to get a diagnostic evaluation from your dentist to determine the extent of the problem. Before taking the situation into your own hands, an accurate diagnosis of tooth sensitivity is essential for effective treatment to eliminate pain. Because pain symptoms can be similar, some people might think that a tooth is sensitive, when instead, they actually have a cavity or abscess that's not yet visible.

 

How do I describe my symptoms to my dentist?

Sensitivity may be defined as a short sharp pain, which is usually initiated by hot or cold foods or exposure to cold air. Aching often follows. Because sensitivity may mean different things to a patient and dental professional, be sure to clarify exactly what you feel when you discuss the condition with your dentist. Be sure to tell the dentist when the pain started and if there is anything, such as the application of a warm compress, that helps eliminate the pain.

 

Do some products work to help decrease sensitivity?

Toothpastes for sensitive teeth usually contain a desensitizing agent that protects the exposed dentin by blocking the tubes in the teeth that are connected to nerves. In most cases, these products must be used on a regular basis for at least a month before any therapeutic benefits may be noticed.

 

What can the dentist do for my sensitive teeth?

Dentists have a variety of regimens to manage tooth hypersensitivity, including both in-office treatments and patient-applied products for home use. If you are diagnosed with dentin hypersensitivity, your dentist may apply a desensitizing agent or a protective coating. You may be prescribed a stannous fluoride gel or an over-the-counter desensitizing toothpaste containing fluoride and either potassium nitrate or strontium chloride. These ingredients help block transmission of sensation from the tooth to the nerve. It also might help to massage the special paste onto your gums with your finger after brushing.

 

What should I do after the dentist has applied a desensitizing agent?

Listen closely to your dentist's instructions. He or she may advise you not to eat or drink for a short period of time, to eliminate all sources of irritation, such as acidic foods or medication, highly concentrated foods or flavored toothpastes. You may also be instructed to change oral hygiene habits that are likely to cause abrasion or use a daily fluoride application (a rinse or brush-on gel.)

Well, now that the holiday is over of course today is sunny and warm. Yesterday was cloudy and cold and rainy. The Barometric Pressure is 29.6 this morning and the sun is burning red again in the morning sky. Airies should be rolling in here any minute and MAYBE ILikeSeven too.
