  • Does his talking exhaust you or is it the need for you to come up with responses? Or is it that you just want to be alone?

    Depending on the answer,

    "I love being with you but I'm too tired for talking. How about you tell me stuff you're learning/a story while we do Lego and I'll just keep quiet."

    "I love you but I'm feeling peopled out, I need to be alone today."

    "I would love to spend some time with you but my ears have had a hard day and I'm going to put some cotton in and rest them. Do you think you want to just be quiet together, or would you rather go where you can be noisy?"

    In the last one, the cotton balls are a visual reminder to him not to talk, because he's going to keep feeling the impulse. It's good if he learns to resist it, but it can be hard to learn. It also indicates that it's not just him you don't want to listen to.

  • If she had health insurance, the insurance company should sue the state (as well), because they can better afford to. And because this won't be the only time.

    In a catastrophic case like this, they wind up spending more than the family, even though it's a smaller percentage of their assets. So they have every incentive, and I'm sure the family would be willing to testify towards their case.

  • Tell him that retrofitting it to AirForceOne security standards would "ruin the beautiful golden interior" so it will be better to just wait until he's a private citizen again and won't have to follow those stupid security rules. Meanwhile, as President, he'll have to keep using the "little" presidential aircraft.

    He might be tempted into quitting early, or at least not extending his reign. Or he'll insist on using the unsecured plane, and maybe something catastrophic will happen over the Pacific.

  • As in the image, the parents are right there, kids on their laps in the rubble. And for wee toddlers, it's not that anyone expects them to read all or any of the words in the dialogue. It's making the initial connection between the spoken (or sung) words and those groups of letters on the screen. A little further along it's associating the sounds of the letters rather than just their names.

    And then they'll start to recognize the basic sight words, even when they're not phonetic. Similar to reading a book along with a preschooler and having them do all the "the"s as you point to them.

  • The percentage depends a lot of the ppm of fluoride in the water, which is why it's now set at 0.7 instead of as high as 1.5 in decades past.

    But my point still stands that it enters the enamel before any topical application is possible. Which makes me take everything else you say with a large helping of salt

  • Those legging-thingies may make her more physically comfortable if they support her circulation. Or they might just make her more emotionally comfortable. Rather than insist she change her public appearance, you can appreciate her lovely legs in private, and be glad she's willing to let you see and touch them.

  • They're useful for when you need to write a long way in pencil without the line getting fat or taking time to sharpen. Like maybe an essay exam in bluebooks. Its been a long time but iirc there's room inside for extra leads and maybe also a spare eraser.

  • Obviously education about brushing and flossing and a healthy diet help more, if the family is able to afford the food and toothbrushes and regular dental care. But in areas where (natural or added) fluoride levels in the water are higher (within a limit of 1.5 ppm, twice what is set for when fluoride is added), there is observed to be less tooth decay and better overall dental health even when controlling the data for the elements you cited.

  • Because young children have teeth that aren't exposed to topical fluoride.

    Their future adult teeth, growing under their gums, in their jaws.

    The only way to build them strong is from the inside out, by getting fluoride into the children's systems.
