Joke of the Month
A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy
another, but only have $500. The redhead tells the blonde, "I will go to the market and see if I can
find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram." She goes to the market and
finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it
costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer.
Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word "comfortable." Skeptical, the operator
asks, "How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?" The redhead replies, "She's
a blonde so she reads slow: 'Come for ta bull.'"

Ice Cravings: A Sign Of Something More? March 2016
DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY many people enjoy chewing their leftover ice after finishing a nice refreshing drink? It may surprise you to learn that the cool crunch of the ice may not be the only thing drawing people to chew those last few cubes. Chewing Ice Is Not Cool For Your Teeth Many enjoy chomping down on those last few ice cubes at the bottom of their glass, but is it really that bad for your dental health? Absolutely! Ice is an incredibly hard substance, and when pitted against teeth it can do serious damage to our enamel. Repeated grinding against ice and other hard substances can result in enamel cracking and erosion. Because enamel has no living cells, the body cannot repair any chips or cracks on its own—they will require enamel restoration treatments. Ice Cravings May Be Caused By More Than Preference Ice cravings are fairly common–especially among expecting mothers–but not all of these cravings are driven by enjoyment alone. The compulsive consumption of ice, known as pagophagia, has recently been linked to anemia—a lack of iron in the blood. Anemia can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. But don’t worry, if diagnosed by a doctor, anemia is easily treatable with daily iron supplements. ​
Scientists still aren’t sure why the link between chewing ice and anemia exists, but many suspect it may the body’s natural response to relieve oral inflammation caused by anemia. We Care About Your Whole Body Health March 2016
Excessive ice cravings affect far more than just your teeth. We care about far more than just the health of your smile!
