I know this sounds like a stupid question or like I haven't put much thought into a discussion but I am genuinely interested to know.
For many many years my dad and I would comment on something we noticed often in movies. And...

Hi mylotters. In India, it's seen more that people throw anything on road and especially when it comes to chewing gums, I find it very gross.
I don't like chewing gum myself but I don't mind other people having it as long as they...

A week ago while visiting the dentist, it was discovered that I had an infection in my gums below the tooth line. Since that visit was for a complete examination and x-rays, the dentist scheduled me to come back today to address...

Well now I have a sore throat and tongue, but I think it is from the antibiotics I have been taking. My infection is gone from around the wisdom tooth so I am just going to stop drinking the antibiotics. I can't wait to be done...

I got out of my dental appointment last week - I was kind and let my husband go first and after almost 2 hours in the chair I said I'd take a rain check. Well, today's the rain check day.
