Orthodontics Causing Tmj

The Pharmacy

After nearly ten years of marriage I finally figured out just now, what 's the favorite store of Grace.

Our loyal readers think perhaps to a shoe store, the bags, designer jewelry?
Or maybe the food and luxury where 'home? No, friends, you're off-road, and about the road, follow the story.

At a recent "bridge", Grace decides unilaterally that the whole family will go 'visiting my in-laws in the sunny Puglia.
830 miles by car I suggest breaking it in two with a stop in the middle 'street in a charming small hotel that already' know, to spend the night. No way, says Grace, becomes totally a drag. And the children? With a couple of stops for gasoline, pee, 'and dinner at roadside restaurants resist them too. Okay, 'we leave, "But stop for a moment that I must withdraw pharmacy goccine of homeopathic that I ordered. "Ok.

the first stop Grace asks," I forgot to buy towels, there will be 'a pharmacy? ".

500 miles later he began to experience disturbances among women" ... that you can not understand. However, and 'all because of this trip so' long, all those hours sitting in the car ....". The fact that I had proposed to break the journey in two and 'forgotten. With my cell phone to a friend (Grace a friend for any kind of discomfort) that promptly reels off a list of names of miraculous medicines. The fact that the friend is not a doctor but rather 'a housewife from San Severo not matter. Grace notes and called his sister to ask her of go to the pharmacy to buy them all.

The next morning, as a result of a series of telephone consultations with his Grace homeopath pro-east, the acupuncturist, the obstetrician and pediatrician are sent to buy vitamins, supplements, soaps and intimate. "Where?" "Come on, do not you remember? That nice pharmacy, large end of the road."
In fact, more 'than a pharmacy, it appears a supermarket trolleys, benches divided by categories, shoes, and biscuits gluten-free pasta, panettone, perfumes, homeopathy, teas of all kinds, children's playground. And 'the kingdom of Grace. Here's his favorite store. Where there is 'a pharmacy, they' Grace is security and psychological protection.

But beware, his relationship with the pharmacies and not 'loyal to one. And 'quite similar to the noble micro-credit operations that are taking place to develop the activities' in the Third World. She supports all pharmacies. And its' a patient and constant intervention "to rain", which aims to satisfy each of the distributors of medicines and remedies of all kinds, from chemical to natural.

The 'sorts goccine here aspirin, yet the other antibiotics, and almost all trips, whether from home from the bar, they are interrupted by a quick visit to the pharmacy on the way to buy something.

returned to Milan after the days of visiting family, half an hour from the gate of arrival Grace asks: "Can we arrive at half past six?" 'Cause, honey? "Why 'I left it at home of my children's toothbrushes, and I would not want me shut the pharmacy ...".

If you imagine a Christmas gift for Grace, now you know where to go. And best wishes to all.

Nud Audiable Alarm System



Dear Fans of Grace, maybe you believe that your darling it's just a whole sciura shopping, cosmetics and fitness, and leaving her husband (me, for newcomers who do not know yet) the duties of maintaining the family. But no! The terrible news this month, dear faithful readers, and 'Grace fact that, after the well-deserved summer holiday which we have narrated, and' return to work.

Gia '. Grace works. Did not expect eh? But not always. Works, as they say, "project", in television newsrooms and the like. An activity 'that has the right to download up to me the management of all activities' family members as possible in the time that takes the "project", and to take long periods of rest once the project ends, 'cause "less evil and' finished, look, I could not not more '.

At this time Grace began working on a production and that 'even out of town' (where often there are the industrial buildings that are used as a TV studio). Not so 'out, pero', come on. Let's say a half hour drive there you go. And that 'how long it takes me to go to work downtown in a tram. Pero 'already' this news gives Grace the right supplements to report fatigue and need rest. And then there are the times: from the afternoon until late evening. Figo, one might say, so 'in the morning and' freedom. Instead everything to Grace 'is immediately translated in entrusting direct the whole business' morning to prepare children, breakfast, dressing, washing, and other accompaniments, a school, the other in kindergarten. And after all this I was allowed to go to work myself, while Grace lies.

must be said that the time that Grace comes home from work is not 'so' different from the time when I go to sleep usually. Let's say around midnight. In fact, almost always when I'm awake again and can 'freely and tell me what' tired have headaches stop it is to read off the light I need to sleep.
Pero 'I get up in the morning just me.
Indeed, last week said "Well, since the first of three in the afternoon, you start working, maybe I have time to do Pilates in the morning. "

The afternoon hours of his absence are covered by a nurse who runs the children until the hour of my return, but that just crosses the threshold of the house disappears instantly. I just feel his" Buonas. .. 'because' on '... it was "the doors were already' closed. And I'm left them, 'standing with the shoulder bag, jacket, shoes, overwhelmed with fatigue, and two children that I Zompa on practical needs with their thousand-affective.

When her husband is average Italian sbraca on the couch with white slippers and light wine in front of the TG3 povvidenziale as lethargic, I have to cook dinner for the boys, put them in pajamas, check their homework, then I eat a solitary pastasciuttina while they are placed in front of Disney Channel, which will be just around the corner 'on GXT changed' cause those poor secretly watching wrestling that I have forbidden to see.

After that 'taking the rituals that lead to good night: pee' hands, teeth, story by story or book read, administration of homeopathic goccine unnecessary but that the doctor pro-Hindu 'Grace has prescribed you do not understand why,' tuck covered kiss goodnight and off light. But both these things are still there even when pertaining to my 'Grace.

Poor Grace, not only prohibitive distances and long hours. We also work on weekends! Saturday last left us after lunch, handing me a shopping list to do in Esselunga (which included among other things, the sea bass reared in Orbetello, the organic salad and Vanity Fair), the evening we phoned from the vegetarian restaurant of the village, where had with colleagues, and when and 'round showed me the purchases made in which he looked cute shops around, working out of her purse while the new numbers coming out of Friendly, Psychologies and Io Donna.

Ah, it goes without saying 'I am working I also industries, such as accompaniments to various medical and dental. Speaking of which Grace days ago told me: "You know the check you gave me to the dentist? Well, he said that both pay around the end and I used to sign up for Pilates.

How To Delete Gpsphone Saves

Vacances proletaires

The faithful readers of "Living with Grace" you will stay
imagining, returning from vacation, amazing stories about
exclusive resort populated by VIPs and captains 'industry, with Grace
that depopulated the boutiques and hotels in Capri and the Riviera. But no, and that's the beauty
.

We are emerging from a delightful "proletariat" in a village of white
Gargano, always the same, where do we go from 7 years, but the famous Vieste, it 's vaunted the Salento, the goal of the new radical chic, but one of those places where it is still possible, a family of four people, have for the entire month of August in an apartment overlooking the sea 5 minutes walk from the beach and as many from the town for 1800 €, and another 200 a month to have your sun umbrella and lounge chairs in a comfortable shore. Al "Twiga" Forte dei Marmi the same amount you pay for a day, and the sea, 'much too' bad. Total
two thousand euro, all inclusive, throughout August, for the whole family.

A holiday that, in principle, reflects my ideal of summer relaxation and family, and where my place is so typical day: breakfast "healthy" at home with tea and cereals, short visit to the newsagent, which is not is a simple shrine, but a business newspaper old, where the owner and 'the left-wing intellectual of the country, which also sells books, exercise books and travel guides, listen to classic rock or Eagles and Peter Frampton Radio Capital, and with whom, after having bought the newspapers in the morning, debating on maximum systems such as the crisis of publishing.
Additional breakfast at the bar of the beach, coffee and chat with friends on the beach. Accommodation on deckchairs under beach umbrella and read the newspaper to dry all morning, including supplements, interrupted only by the bathroom with the children, occasional sand castles or playing football. Lunch
lovingly cooked at home from Grace, based on local delicacies,
mussels, fish, peppers, etc. cacioricotta, during the 13 canonical TG5
included under "Taste" and pennichellona afternoon until about 16
. Back at the beach and read a book down to 19 with the usual sporadic outages
novelty beach.
dinners in local restaurants or pizza place with names like "Gianpizzaiolo" with family and friends, or uscitina after dinner in town and ice cream stalls, and at midnight maximum
sleep. Wonderful.

And here comes the fun, dear Grace-fans. Too easy to make the VIP among the VIPs in St. Tropez or Costa Smeralda. Try to have you as neighbors and parasol not Petruccioli Furio Colombo, as a "last resort" Capalbio, but John the butcher, try to have as playmates of the children of truzzolotti that beat all day screaming "Cacacazz '", "Who t'a'mmuort'!", tell dirty jokes, and teach your child to 4 years to say 'T' riench ' 'and mazz't' "(you fill in the barrel) in a perfect turn Foggia. Try to have the peak summer season of entertainment not a DJ set by Pete Tong at Pacha Umberto Tozzi but a concert at the pier. Try, in Italy this "true", to be Grace.

In fact, the ideal day described earlier, where is Grace? Be ', in line
rule, is not there. E 'with friends.
the morning before everyone goes for coffee with friends, and shopping.
to me the burden of preparing the children still sleepy (pee, hands, teeth, costumes, slippers, shirts, hats) and the fellowship of the sea with sarongs, swimsuits and all the rest ("Bring All to you and me with This hurt the shoulder can not do ").
What hurt shoulder? Boh, Okay.
arrives on the beach after the event: children increments and placed in play, towels lying on deck, and I that I finally sat down with two seconds before the newspapers arrived.
"Nice life, eh? You, always there back and read the newspaper." Two
scolded routine ("Out of the water, you two!") Followed by the usual puff which means "All I I do, here ...", then you spread the cream on the back from me ("Do you not get there, with my poor shoulder ..."), and disappears for a walk on the sand (" I is good for the movement ... "), with their friends.
walk took two hours, from which always comes back with something bought from street vendors. During the holiday was passed by the Senegalese bracelets full of Dolce and
Gabbana of dubious origin, up to a huge drum to the pinch (folk dance from Puglia) autographed by the craftsman octogenarian.

follows the canonical phrase, "Well, I begin to get home to prepare lunch." So to me raising children, recovery of both from the waves, drying, find the same from various hiding places, retrieving towels, costumes, newspapers, and lifts home. Even Grace
afternoons are filled with commitments ranging from waxing all'erboristeria, the hairdresser's shop at the ethnic, visits of politeness, while I sleep and children play soccer on the streets of the favelas as the ninos.
"You rested eh? Blessed are you who you can sleep in the afternoon with these two as I do."
From the balconies, the loving Mammine recall their beloved little children screaming "Bitch 'e'mmerda, is' to' CCAS." When Grace
stops umbrella ("Finally a moment of peace ...")
browse the 'inevitable Vanity Fair, he plunges past David Leavitt, comments or photos of the August issue of AD, the magazine made for anyone to feel filthy, with "more villas' beautiful in the world."

At home, militarily occupying the 'I-pod and crock "On tour" that amplifies it, and plan to repeat only the album cover of Paul Weller, Negramaro, Seu Jorge, and "the most' beautiful songs Sergio Caputo. " I can hear what I want when I wash dishes.
the evening, Grace indulges us to try all the restaurants in the Gargano.
In the most chic of all, overlooking the sea, while the little boy says "I live in the bathroom of this restaurant, so is beautiful ", the great sentenced" Well, here is so smart that if they do well is expensive. "loud.

In August harassed by bad weather anywhere, even in Sardinia, Gargano day instead of bad weather were two. For the rest, beautiful, always. In the two days we managed to go to a restaurant for lunch, and took only because Grace could say that was ugly and cold for the rest of the month. Just a little cloud all ' horizon, barely visible in a blue sky with the sun at its zenith, to hear her say, "See? It is bad today. "

I'm back from vacation. You still do not. I shared with the trunk full of oil, tomato sauce peasant, local spirits, local olives, local wines, tamburone to pinch, the surf of Spiderman, and of course the pillow of Grace, that of Milan, who had brought in Puglia because He can not sleep with a pillow any, must have her.

Tonight on the phone told me that he has already booked by phone the next 12 sessions of Pilates in Milan because he feels guilty that she ate on vacation too, "... I feel bloated, I have to dispose of." He also told me that when I return 'home would like to find a dinner of sushi, and children, in chorus, "And for us the noodles."

My father 92 years old and, with his Swedish wife, spends his summers in a grove on the seashore in southern Sweden, where they built a lovely wooden house in the middle of nowhere. Each year at the beginning of summer ', we are practically forced to visit them for a week, with the whole family. This custom is happy grandparents who see their grandchildren, and grandchildren, playing soccer, see the squirrels, and eat all the rubbish that we usually avoid. All
happy except Grace. Which woman in the south, can not stand being in a place where the sea is cold as hell, can not stand being in a forest far from any form of social life, and can not stand having to pack up, in June, with inside the jackets and things to winter. Pero 'touches, so', for all six months ago I weighed that he had sacrificed to go there, and for the six months before I accused who will sacrifice 'again next year. A full year of reproach for a few days away.

And here two days before departure, scheduled for June 9. Everything organized, luggage, airline tickets, everything. I go to the Springsteen concert at the Forum, and while I wait you start the phone rings. E 'Grace. "Alexander has 39 of fever." Okay, 'flounder', I think. But from then on in the mind of Grace triggered a frantic re-scheduling. The next morning, in a fast sequence, go to the doctor and travel agent ', and quick diagnosis: "You can not 'start the child in these conditions."
So what do we do? My father will remain 'too bad. The solution and Grace 'already' ready, and I think it was already 'ready from the first fever of Alexander, and perhaps even before the fever.
"Parties face with Henry. I'm staying here."

Never mind that on the morning of the departure of Alexander the fever had passed ("But you feel that swollen lymph nodes, it has!") And all in all a trip alone with my son 'great I'm glad to do so, for first time. What I do not know, dear friends, 'that while I and Henry played football, watched the squirrels, and eat junk food in the silent grove Swedish Grace Saturday night surprise his debut as a DJ in the glittering nightlife of Milan.

After a visit to the hairdresser more providential 'beloved city', and Alexander gave up the small, perfectly fit, in the hands of the baby sitter, Grace climbed it to the console of "360" in trendissima Via Tortona, playing my records They Might Be Giants, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Spandau Ballet, Black Eyed Peas, Nelly and J-Lo, of course without the covers, then put them right.

Everything 'while in the Swedish woods, repaired in the house by a persistent rain, I read to Henry pages from the book "Letter to my son's football" Darwin Pastorin, and dear father said sadly: "Poor Grace is forced to stay in Milan to attend my grandson sick, instead of being here in this place so 'beautiful'.

flavor with salt, flavor of the sea: the conquest of Grace Versilia

After becoming the queen Curma, and the best customer of the eastern Liguria, Grace lacked the conquest of the coast more 'expensive in Italy.
Complice the invitation of some friends, we are left to spend the long weekend of June 2 mica at a friend's house or a hotel whatsoever, but' at the historical Grand Hotel Principe In Piedmont, recently reopened after two years of massive restructuring, which entails a bold price hikes.
Accommodation: suite room with sea view consists of two single beds and a half each canopy, balcony real children's room, two plasma TVs, a bathroom as big as a studio equipped with a thirty towels, and large walk-in closet ("You know to get there in our wardrobe 'door?", will say' that little of spandimerda my son to a boyfriend on the beach).
The facilities of the hotel:
"Objective Wellbeing: health and beauty center as well as guided tours of saunas, steam baths and" facials ", offers a program of massages with names like" Connective tissue massage "" massage gallura honey "and" massage chocolat ", in addition to proposals such as blatantly dirty" 4 hands massage. "
"pillow menu" at the request of the customer, three different lines of cushions on which to sleep, the "ergonomic" with pillows to latex anatomical, until the "line bioaromatica" which offers a pillow that releases essential oils of lavender and pink, a mint and geranium, and a sandal, to the beautiful " bioenergetics line "that offers creative peak as the" pillow-static fiber copper, which prolongs life and explain how it helps the brain to function better.
And finally, a sumptuous buffet breakfast in the sight of which my children, armed with saucer, say in unison, "I take everything I like, mix strawberries, salami, croissants and pieces of watermelon, corn drowned in the juice of tomato and mozzarella floating in the cappuccino.
But the best is yet to come.
Our friends give us an appointment at the beach "Lido", run by a couple of billionaires, he, Viareggio, she Venezuela, for which the management of the establishment "and 'just a hobby." In reality 'landlords are half and half Florida Venezuela, live six months a year in Miami, and among other properties' real estate have a castle that stands right there,' in front of us, in the middle of the promenade of Viareggio . "But '- she confides in Grace - I know that we sell. What are we to make of two thousand square feet on five floors?". Gia ', I say, but who the fuck you sell a mammatrone like that? "Well - the Venezuelan responds nonchalantly - to anyone willing € 8 million to spend. "Grace looks at me as if to say" And you, beggar, do not you take on? "
The" Lido "and ', by day, a" bath "attended only by members pitches, no poor people rent an umbrella for the day, just get used to 'those who pay 5/10.000 € per season, umbrellas, "tend" and I lay wide apart, with customers complaining of the phones of his neighbors, others who do not want to be "harbor view" but prefer the "gulf view" when the sun would be enough to move to resolve, and one in particular that early in the season shows them 'with the psychic who directs the tent feng shui in order to get the right vibrations.
the evening, you transformed into a refined seafood restaurant on the terrace, with widespread Musichini Guidance soul jazz (Lauryn Hill unplugged, Incognito, Digable Planets, Joss Stone, and of course Kenny G.).
course, three days lunch and dinner always there ', except one dinner in the woods "in what friends describe us as" a dive ", but in reality' is so hardy as expensive. During the day I
Grace regularly loosen the little children to find out all the shops along the promenade. "I have to book the hairdresser," said the Venezuelan, who is organizing the trip to New York where he will go 'to find relatives in their Park Avenue penthouse. "Look - she says - go to Massimiliano. It 's a bit more' expensive than others, but 'the most' good '. And so Grace you sling by Maximilian, while the children throw themselves into the sea, buried in the sand the camera, take the old ladies football.
Children: Alex falls for a rich girl, Tiziana, who do not shit. Henry and 'gasatissimo the idea that the president Moratti and Inter national coach Lippi dress a few meters away.
short, all three won by the Versilia, for next season, I offer three alternatives:
1) pass the 'whole summer in the wonderful Grand Hotel 2) rent a house in Viareggio 3) buying a home in Viareggio.
Why 'as gloss Grace: "A weekend so', regenerates you."
