broken tooth/lost filling/crown

What is up with Dentists? During the past several months we had a few dental emergencies that had to wait for up to 4 days because the family dentist had no backup lined up and could not be bothered while his colleges refused to step in because it was not their patient. We suggested that the answering service could give some useful hints on how to bridge the gap. "we are very sorry but that too is against protocol".

We are not Dentists, however this is what we found on the Internet for a common problem.

Lost crown

If the crown falls off, make an appointment to see your dentist as soon as possible and bring the crown with you. If you can't get to the dentist right away and the tooth is causing pain, use a cotton swab to apply a little clove oil to the sensitive area (clove oil can be purchased at your local drug store or in the spice aisle of your grocery store). If possible, slip the crown back over the tooth. Before doing so, coat the inner surface with an over-the-counter dental cement, toothpaste, or denture adhesive, to help hold the crown in place. Do not use super glue!

Bee nice


Just a few months back I took a bee-keeping class. While not afraid of bees and having been stung before I thought about the other ways  I had been stung by people. When it came down to survival, I was no different than a bee. The buzzzzzzzing warning signs, and sometimes the sting. (with a wish that they'd be really allergic and wise up)

Next time somebody hurts you, or you hurt somebody, consider that underneath that experience is a fearful person. Somebody just like you who is trying to avoid being "stung" worse than they were before.

Central Texas - Child Abuse is NOT a one-hour drama

Child abuse exists in every community. It takes a team of professionals and the community to protect a child.

If you would like to join us for a short documentary Monday October 17th at the AT&T Conference Center, 1900 University Ave. in Austin, TX.
(Reception at 5:30PM, Screening at 6:30PM)

please reserve your seat at rsvp@cactx.org

we don't let you quit....here is the option.

Dropouts significantly diminish their chances of securing a good job, and, with it, a promising future. And the cumulative costs to society are staggering. Compared with high school graduates, dropouts are more likely to live in poverty, suffer poor health, be dependent on public assistance or enter the criminal justice system.


Communities In Schools builds a support system within schools so students can focus on achievement.

CIS is active in 25 states and the District of Columbia. Nearly 200 local affiliates serve the lowest performing schools and the students most vulnerable to dropping out. Check our list to see if there is an affiliate near you.

Texas - Bastrop Fire

We went  Saturday to deliver sleeping bags, paper goods, and this is what we found... a free for all. Here is a message from a person that  was evacuated.

Flag this message PLEASE DO NOT DONATE TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS!!!!Sunday, September 11, 2011 11:28 PM


From: This sender is DomainKeys verified"Karen Shirk" View contact detailsTo: "Karen Shirk" To all who read this:

I live in Cedar Creek TX, just outside of Bastrop, where on Sept 4, 2011, the fires started and as of 9/11/11 burned 34,000 acres and destroyed about 1400 homes. My family and I were evacuated for 3 days for the second fire - the Cedar Creek/ Union Chapel fire. I went to help out at our church, Ascenion Catholic Church, in Bastrop and worked from Monday evening to Thursday evening. I would like to share a little of what occurred there.
I will be politically incorrect and tell everyone PLEASE do NOT donate ANYTHING to the Red Cross. They do not do what they say they will do. They brought blankets, etc to our shelter and then gave the church a bill for the goods. We told them to take it back and we purchased everything ourselves for the people. Then 4 days later, they show up at our church again, only to shoot a PR video of how much they are helping the shelters, when they had never been there except to shoot the video. We asked one of their representatives to help a man with his medications and he said,"We don't do that". But they have ads on TV saying they will help with medications. My friend backed him into a corner and basically asked, "So what DO you do?" He said they could give out some vouchers and/or gift cards to Wal-Mart "so people can buy shoes that fit, but only if they NEED that. We don't tell everyone about that." Duh, why wouldn't they need that, since their homes and possessions were lost in a fire? Why should we/they have to beg like dogs to get that benefit? We have talked to many other people who have worked with Red Cross in the past and they all say the same things: they will "help" you but then they give you a bill. I even talked to a retired Air Force major who knows of international stories like this and more. Sorry if I offend anyone, but I'm only sharing what we experienced first-hand.
At this time, there is no need for clothes or toiletries, but mainly monetary donations. They can be given to Ascension Catholic Church or the Bastrop Ministerial Alliance, sorry, I don't have that website handy. Please give to any other organization you wish, just not Red Cross. I've heard Salvation Army was a good organization, but I haven't seen them in Bastrop.

The 2nd annual event, dubbed "OPPORTUNITY ROCKS THE BLOCK" will feature education opportunities, interactive career demonstrations and food, live entertainment and activities for kids.

Live entertainment will be headlined by world-renowned recording artist Manuel Molina, who has performed for the US Department of Defense and US embassies overseas. Molina features Latin and world music with his three piece band. More artists will be announced closer to the event.
The event will kick off with a "Parade of Nations" at 10 a.m. where refugee and English as a Second Language students from the Language Learning Center parade the flag of their nation with pride.
A limited number of goodie bags with coupons and free items will be presented to the event's first guests. Food from the Emily Griffith Culinary Kitchen and area restaurants will offer a variety of tastes for every palate. Free haircuts and food samples from the cosmetology and culinary arts departments, respectively, will be offered, and a fashion show by the fashion design program will highlight student creations.

Emily Griffith High School is co-hosting the event and will host street art, basketball contests and other games.

Over 40 different career programs, most of which can be completed in less than a year, will be on display from accounting to medical and dental to welding and auto mechanics. Assistance with financial aid and admissions will also be available.
Emily Griffith Technical College is one of Colorado's longest-standing educational resources, having opened its doors "for all who wish to learn" in Denver with over 1.6 million graduates. With an annual enrollment of approximately 10,000 students, the college provides affordable education in accredited programs in over 40 certificate programs and 14 trade apprenticeships that can lead to high-paying careers or guaranteed transfer to any of the state's community colleges towards an associates of applied science degree.
