I'm convinced that if the world survives these dangerous times it will be tens of millions of small things that do it. Keep on! old Pete followed by a drawing of his banjo and his name, Pete Seeger

May you be inspired by Pete Seeger's optimism. If you don't know about Pete's activism, do some reading. PD: handwritten note: I'm convinced that if the world survives these dangerous times it will be tens of millions of small things that do it. Keep on! old Pete

2/2 Most universities and colleges have people sign a media disclosure that says the uni will take photos...so, I've got to figure this out.

section 504 clearly states the use of a tape recorder...of course, written at a time when there wasn't social media. Additionally, I'm concerned about the reach of "intellectual property" for the teacher. I'm less concerned about the rest of the people in the room.

A student with a visual impairment attends a school that receives federal funding. The student does best when they can take photographs of the material presented and videorecord the session.

"...if we take care of everyone, that will contribute to a stronger society even if it comes at an additional cost in taxes, which should be thought of as an investment."

4/4 Read the research on xylitol and ph and cavities. And then get a subscription for the mouth stickers.

3/4 I thought he was crazy,but I’m telling you: I don’t sleep with my mouth open anymore and I had the easiest cleaning with no gingivitis and very little calculus after 6 months of use. My mom lost all of her beautiful teeth bc docs didn’t know about this.

2/4 That gingivitis, gum recession increase and saliva decreases. It’s not sjogrens, it’s peri-menopause. You may start sleeping with mouth open and be more prone to cavities. So, my dentist—who happens to be up on menopause health—recommended what I call mouth stickers. a.co/d/1aBC7fX

1/4 That even when you do everything to be and stay healthy your blood work will go nuts: kidney, cholesterol, thyroid. Be sure you have a good caring doc who will work with you and not play the shame game.
