Quotes of the Day

Measuring the pH of my saliva has shown me how it becomes more alkaline about half an hour after I have taken vitamins, when I relax in a sauna, or when I bask on the beach during vacation. Many forms of relaxation, including gardening and exercising, likewise seem to have positive alkalizing effects on my saliva. People need to realize that there is no single salivary pH and that one reading that shows a normal pH is not a guarantee that it will remain healthy. Regular readings will help you determine how much protection you have naturally for your teeth and when you may want to be particularly careful during times of more mouth acidity. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

If you are getting married later in life or bringing a lot of assets to the marriage, most financial advisors will tell you to get a prenuptial agreement.

Stocks of large companies - value and growth combined - should make up 50-70% of your total domestic stock portfolio. The higher your risk tolerance, the closer you'll want to be to the lower end of that range. Whatever your allocation to domestic large cap stocks, we recommend that you invest 40-50% of that amount in large growth. Take a tilt toward value, if you wish, but don't tilt so far that you risk tipping over. [2013] - Russell Wild

Invent several options all equally acceptable to you and ask the other side which one they prefer. You want to know what is preferable, not necessarily what is acceptable. You can then take that option, work with it some more, and again present two or more variants, asking which one they prefer. [1991] - Roger Fisher
