Joanne's Sunday Perks Dental Tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun I think of the grandfather I never knew on Memorial Day. The only record of his life is a wedding photo, a memorial document from France, where he is buried, a citation from the United States Army, and a street sign that bears his name, placed in his hometown. He died on July 15, 1918, while fighting in WWI, fatally wounded by a high explosive shell. Joseph was 23 years old. He left behind a wife, an infant daughter that he never...

Joanne's Sunday Perks Dental Tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun I tend to assume everyone has already seen my favorite comedies. Last week I watched 'All of Me', a crazy film with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin. It was laugh out loud funny. After a crazy ritual to transfer a dying woman's soul, a mistake is made and Lily is transferred into the right side of Steve's body. An early Steve Martin film, he shows his comic genius with his physical comedy as he tries to cope with the will of the...

Joanne's Sunday Perks Dental Tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun I just watched a replay of the Kentucky Derby; proof that life is full of surprises. A 23 to one odd, Golden Tempo not only transformed from last place to first place in the race; but also took the title under the supervision of the first woman trainer to win the Derby. It gives us all hope that anything is possible with hard work and focus. Now onto my planned topic for the day: Hydroxyapatite: The Toothpaste Ingredient That Is...

Joanne's Sunday Perks Dental Tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun Because I have spent most of the weekend trying to submit my three books for hardcover distribution by Ingram Sparks, and have spent many hours using AI, I asked my AI assistant to write about his role. This is what he said! "My new coworker doesn’t drink coffee, but he’s growing on me.This week I discovered that publishing a hardcover is basically a scavenger hunt where the clues are written in a language only robots understand....

Joanne's Sunday Perks Dental Tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun How frustrating. When you get to a certain age, you feel like everything is falling apart. I thought my hair loss was because I'm not getting any younger. Then my dermatologist politely informed me that my hair was not aging; it was desperately seeking attention.

Joanne's Sunday Perks Dental tales of Love, Adventure, and Fun Happy Easter. It is the most joyful and religious day in the Christian calendar. On this holy day, I have to think of my Aunt Eleanor.

I have baked this dish many times; it is delicious and predictable. I usually use deli ham but...
