K's orthodontist sent an email appointment reminder. Then I had to press a key in another window to confirm. Good thing I check email, they used to call. This place is run like clockwork, they're busy, but always on time, even early. The receptionist sits on an exercise ball all day, instead of a chair. The young doctor himself has a brilliant academic background and knows his stuff. But I remember my late father always needed the personal touch, being a 'people person'. He enjoyed going to the bank to say, negotiate a loan, or just to talk about things. The manager knew him by name. Hopefully we can retain something good from those days.
Apparently the de-icing salt used on the roads don't work in today's temperatures. It might have hit -30C according to my sister. And they expect some snow later on, so it will be slippery. My new boots are toasty warm, I have to say, not the same for my thin gloves.
L is overdoing it again, her schedule is so jam-packed, she has limited time to talk to me, much less her friends. I told her she'll get sick if she doesn't leave enough time to rest (job, tennis, after-school activities, homework, driving lessons).

We used to take our daughter to get her teeth worked on. Loved the office. It had brick walls and great photos.
Those balls are better for your back and abs, I guess. Haven't seen them here yet, but I've hear of them.
Sounds like my dentist - tis all very modern and so far removed for the dentists of my childhood. Those days are gone it seems. Your daughter does have a lot on her plate - a high achiever I am guessing.
Brenda, but I wonder don't you have to lean back sometimes during the day?
Lilly, yes, L's an over achiever.
Good Grief! -30 C is horribly cold! How much longer will your winter be with you?! And what kind of boots did you get?
Japra, -30C means your skin freezes very quickly when unprotected! The 'end' of winter is considered Mar 21st I think, but we have had to odd May snow. Thoughts turn to spring toward the end of February. My boots say 'thinsulate' on them, no special brand. So there must be something in that thinsulate lining. The thinsulate on the coats work really well too.
