I would have thought that you wouldn't even do root canal on a three year old; if the tooth was that bad they would just pull it out, and leave it until the second teeth came through, but maybe they need to keep the gap filled.....

The guy was a sociopathic charlatan, so I'm sure he was just ignoring things like common sense and standard procedures.

I also wonder a bit about the parents. Why would you greenlight so much dental work so early? Were they giving the kid nothing but chocolate or something?

Dentists recommend parents bring little toddlers to the dentist. Too many dentists, not enough caries. And the parents probably didn't know a root canal is ridiculous on a baby tooth.

Why would the parents even take their daughter to a dentist that wanted to do 4 root canals on a 3 year old? I hope the dentist is charged with manslaughter.
Very sad.

I cringed when I read that he "accidently" put his car key in his mouth while he was outside.

I gotta say I am truly grateful because despite the fact that we got arctic like temperatures and snow, we were spared all the ice other areas had to deal with.

Mark Duggan Shooting 'Has Reduced Trust Between London's Black Communities And Police'

There has been an angry reaction by some to the news yesterday that the jury found that the police has acted lawfully when they shot Mark Duggan dead. The shooting sparked off the London riots in 2011.

I think the use of body-worn video cameras for firearms officers is a very good idea.

My first reaction to this was, OMG, they shot the guy with all those kids?!?! (Obviously confused Duggan with Duggar).

This is somewhat old news, but apparently the New England shrimp fishery had to shut down. They'll just move on to the next fish until we can't do it anymore.

The Duggars would be jealous. He must be a nice person.

Happier relationships for couples without children - Telegraph

I was laughing at some of the comments at the bottom.

 

[kazyeeqen]

I've read about surveys like that before. People seem to get pretty upset about them.

 

[ledboots]

From the article, this: "Yet, across all categories one simple action emerged as the most important element in strong relationships – saying “thank you”."

 

[Blobbenstein]

is correlation getting mixed up with causation as usual?

The media love doing that.

 

[Moll Flanders]

I thought it was funny that they bothered doing a study as I would have thought that it was obvious that people would be happier with their relationships if they didn't have children. People without kids must generally have much more time for each other and more money and less stress probably. I've known an awful lot of women who have confided to me that they would have left their husband/partner if they didn't have children with them.

Not far from my home. A couple in a movie theater shot for cell phone usage during the previews. The man is dead, the woman taken to the hospital. Shooter in custody, held by patrons until the cops arrived. What the absolute hell are people thinking?

Holy hell! That's insane and horrible.
