you don’t need an inch of toothpaste
whitening toothpaste bleaches your clothes
forget what the company says about healthy, better for you, and organic, read the label
3% organic isn’t organic to me
the true price of the products is in the piece per ounce
smaller boxes with the same price make companies money
generics are not the same as brand names, they are compounded differently and may not work for you
brand-name medications often have saving cards on their websites, use them
generics can have more side effects, read the prescribing information
the fda has the most complete list of medications
the fda is not full-proof, read why medications are pushed through
read the adverse events on the manufacturer’s website, report adverse events to them
read the adverse events on the fda website and be sure to look for all recalls, you’ll be surprised
there are no miracle products, just hollow promises to make money
every magazine writes stories about celebrity’s clothes or accessories with links to make money
go directly to website, never click on a link no matter how real it looks
even amazon has fake products, read the reviews, if no reviews don’t buy, no matter the deal if you can’t return
clothes from china can run at least two sizes small, sizing on all brands is not consistent, always read most recent reviews.
make sure your pharmacy and pharmacist aren’t making their own rules, know the law
words with action don’t go very far
people matter

I had my grandson with me today. Daniel is 11 and had oral surgery yesterday. I thought he’d be tired from anesthesia. Nope. He had a lot to say and was busier than I could keep up with. I loved every minute but am a bit tired.

An 11-year-old can still be a great age if not totally engaged in social media. I’m so glad you get to make memories with your family. they will last a life time and help us in times of need.
