Finally, the snow is melting. The temperatures are rising, buds are on the trees, and you can actually feel the hint of Spring in the air! Today I will give you a few facts regarding health, opinions on television and NYC shows, interesting websites, and products that are worth a look.
HEALTH
* Did you know that brushing your teeth combats the bacteria in your mouth that causes hardening
of the arteries? Purchase an electric toothbrush and it will remove up to seven times more plaque
than your manual toothbrush. Added bonus-it removes wine and coffee stains too.
* Did you know that coffee is one of the causes in adult tooth decay? The high acid content breaks
down your enamel. A better alternative is drinking tea, which supposedly contains fluoride,
actually making it a benefit to your mouth.
* Did you know the spice turmeric neutralizes precancerous cells? So make sure the mustard you
purchase has this as an ingredient.
* Did you know that for every extra pound of weight we carry, our knees gain three pounds of
additional stress? No wonder walking up the steps gets harder as we age!
* Did you know there is a non surgical procedure that actually removes the waddle under your
chin, lifts the sagging jowls and tightens the skin around eyebrows? Ultherapy is for those
of us never willing to go under the knife. The caveat: you will need a local anesthetic and
it may cause swelling and bruising.
*Did you know about the presence of arsenic in brown and white rice? Beware of your weekly
intake of all rice products.
TELEVISION
* Better Call Saul-This is the prequel to Breaking Bad. No need to watch Breaking Bad if you
haven't. Bob Odenkirk plays attorney James McGill before he became Saul. Entertaining but not
spectacular. POP 10p.m. Wednesday
* Schitt's Creek-Eugene Levy stars as a rich video star magnate who lost his fortune. He and his
dysfunctional family are broke and move to a small town. Catherine O'Hara as his wife is
hilarious. Fun to watch. AMC 10p.m. Monday
* The Americans-Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are two Soviet spies who pose as a married
couple with a family. Many viewers love this show. I find it mediocre, redundant, and annoy-
ing. Yet, I continue to watch. Keri Russell is especially irksome! FX 10 p.m. Monday
* The Jinx-Apparently THE SHOW to binge watch about Robert Durst and his alleged crimes.
Haven't watched yet, but have been told it is compelling. HBO Finale this Sunday
COMING SOON ON T.V.
* Going Clear-A documentary on the horrors of Scientology. Should be interesting to see if
David Miscavige is portrayed as the person who broke up Tom and Nicole. HBO March 29
* The Royals-Now that we don't have Downton Abbey to watch, we can get our fix with
Elizabeth Hurley and Joan Collins. Can't wait-should be a hoot. E March 15
* Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao-Fight of the decade-one of the biggest ever. Don't
miss this event. Should be amazing. PPV May 2
HARDEST TICKETS TO SCORE
* Hamilton The Musical- Presently, an Off Broadway show that is completely sold out
at The Public Theater. It tells the history of Alexander Hamilton with a hip hop score.
Very quirky. Coming to Broadway July 13 and many shows already sold out. Call now!
* Fish in the Dark-Larry David's new play. Completely sold out for months. Stars Larry
David, Rita Wilson, and Rosie Perez. If you like him, you will love the show-Guaranteed!
COOL PRODUCTS

through your WI-FI. $220.00

protective cover fits in your purse for rainy days. It protects when umbrellas won't.

exhausted possibilities with Legos and Magna tiles; buy these. They build out, not just up.

* Yoplait's Greek 100 Whips-Lemon Meringue is the BEST! It's like eating lemon mousse.
Finally, a yogurt I enjoy!

correspondence on stationary you choose and your choice of handwriting style. It places in
an envelope, seals it with wax and sends it off . Prices start at $2.99 plus postage. No more
