Quotes of the Day

Root sensitivity is most often a symptom of gum problems, but it is usually felt as radiating pain in teeth, especially as you breathe or drink something hot or cold. Tooth roots are not good candidates for fillings, and sensitivity toothpaste will only cause additional discomfort, including a furry feeling on your teeth or the sensation of a dry mouth. My suggestion is to avoid peroxide, whitening products, oil pulling, or baking soda, which may lead to recession. Sensitivity will disappear naturally as your gum and tooth health improves. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

The carrier envelope can present a sales message that does the same job as an ad headline. The job of the envelope is to get the letter opened. Some people put distinctive language on the upper left corner of their carrier envelopes, like "Executive Offices," "President," "Research Department," or "Treasurer." Experiment and find what works best for you. [2000] - Jay Abramham

At the heart of creating intimacy is self-disclosure. Basically, self-disclosure is revealing intimate information about yourself--your experiences, your ideas, your hopes, dreams, and feelings. In short: your stories. It's not a one-way street, though. The goal is that your partner offers the same kind of information about him- or herself. Sharing experiences is probably the least threatening form of self-disclosure. Sharing ideas involves more risk. Sharing feelings is the highest-risk kind of disclosure. Stay well away from discussing your previous dating and sexual entanglements, at least until you are fully committed to each other. And even then, trend lightly. A discussion of your romantic past can quickly slide into comparison, competition, and insecurity. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman

Your landlord can't change the locks because you haven't paid the rent. [2015] - Kris Anderson

Time Distancing: Think about the immediate future, and you will have a bigger emotional response than if you take a longer-term view. Next time you are in the grip of a stressful event, ask yourself, In 10 years, will this event still have an impact on me? In studies, people asked to pose this question to themselves had more challenge thoughts. Recognizing the impermanence of an event helps you get over it faster. [2017] - Elizabeth Blackburn
