I clench my jaw at night and as a result, I have what my dentist calls fracturing on three of my teeth. When I look in the mirror at these teeth, it looks like the enamel is worn away near the gumline and there is a shallow trench there. I wear a mouth guard at night, but this fracturing has appeared in spite of it.

My dentist suggested I get dental bonding - at least I believe that's what "Permanent Bonded Bicuspid 1S" and "Permanent Molar Bonded 1s" is? (that's what's on my quote) She said it will "help prevent further fracturing". I can't seem to find any info on this online, though, as it seems that most dental bonding is for aesthetic purposes. Will this dental bonding actually help ma

We have four rats: two that are 2 years old and two that are 7 months old. Our younger rats (Rats A and B) have been sneezing daily ever since we got them from our breeder. At first we didn't worry about it much because we've read that rats can sneeze in new surroundings for up to 2 weeks. But when the sneezing continued past that, we got concerned. We took them to the vet, and the vet said, "their lungs sound perfect". But rat B was especially honky and prone to sneezing fits, so we got some antihistimines for her and when those didn't work, we got her antibiotics. Rat A sneezed pretty often but not super aggressively, so we didn't medicate her.

Rat B went through a month of two different

Can the two story Critter Nation be turned into a single story critter nation if I temporarily want a smaller cage for travelling? Or do I have to get the single story Critter Nation plus add-on in order to have that flexibility?

I have allergy and skin issues and need a vacuum to good for eliminating dust mites. I also have long hair and am constantly vacuuming up yeti-like piles of that. Our house is all carpet except for the kitchen and bathroom. We're looking to spend maybe $400 but will go higher if there's a good reason to, especially if it means that the vacuum will last a long time.

I also live in Canada if that helps :)

I recently bought a bunch of potting mix for container gardening and want to ensure that I can reuse the mix next year. I understand that I'll have to add nutrients back to the mix before using it again. Do I also have to be careful about the type of fertilizer I use this year, or does the fertilizer that I use not affect whether or not I can reuse the mix next year?

When I was reading up on the subject, I got the idea that I shouldn't use pesticides if I intend to reuse the mix, but I wasn't sure about fertilizer. And sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm a gardening beginner!

(Also if it matters, I bought Miracle-Gro Shake n Feed all purpose fertilizer for growing mostly vegetables)

Now that my husband and I are stuck inside and bored during lockdown, we remembered that we own an electric piano with weighted keys. My husband said that he might be interested in trying to learn to play it, so I was searching for an "all in one" book that I could order and use to help teach him theory and learn the basics of the piano at the same time.

I was looking at these two books on Amazon:

Alfred's Basic Adult All-in-One Course, Book 1: Learn How to Play Piano with Lesson, Theory and Technic: Lesson, Theory, Technique (Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course)

Hal Leonard All-in-One Piano Lessons Book A: Book with Audio and MIDI Access Included

I've read Value of Simple and my investments are in ETFs. My mom, on the other hand, has a friend who is a financial advisor and he handles all her investments. I don't know anything about mutual funds other than the fact that they are notorious for having high fees. When I look at the MER rates of the mutual funds in her list, unless I am mistaken, they are all over 2%.

SUN FIDELITY MONTHLY INCOME, ADVANT
SUN GRANITE BALANCED GROWTH, ADVANT
SUN MFS GLOBAL, TOTAL RETURN, ADVANT
MANULIFE GLOBAL STRATEGIC BALANCED YIELD

These are a few of the funds she has invested in.

I'm not an investment expert and I certainly don't feel comfortable doing my mom's investments for her. But I sho

Not sure if any good MH guilds without mandatory GF exist out there but I thought I may as well try posting. My friend and I are t4 accounts (270m might and 250m might) looking for a MH guild without Guild Fest requirements. We can kill 5 level 2s per day. We do KvK and are willing to lose troops.

If you think your guild might be a good fit, please let me know how many monsters you require per day. Thank you!

I'm getting started in investing and I'm a little confused about my asset location. I would like to attempt to max both my TFSA and RRSP in 2018 and I understand that certain assets are better off in certain accounts because of taxes and other reasons. Because I earn my income in US dollars, I plan to put US-listed ETFs in my RRSP. I took a look at the model portfolio for US-listed ETFs on canadianportfoliomanagerblog.com and it suggests VCN, ITOT, IEFA, IEMG, and ZAG for the RRSP portfolio. So with this allocation, I would want to keep VCN and ZAG in my TFSA and ITOT, IEFA, and IEMG in my RRSP, right?

Or when I'm first starting out, should I just max out my TFSA with the TFSA model portfol

When I play higher notes, I can hit them fine when they're in the middle of a phrase, but I have a lot of trouble hitting them cleanly when they're at the start of a phrase. I have a solo entrance into a piece that starts on the higher F on the staff, but I can't hit it cleanly very often. Usually I start out playing some lower note and then hastily going up to the correct note, but very occasionally I'll start out playing a G instead of an F.

Any advice on how to most effectively practice getting this entrance clean would be really appreciated!

What things should I do to improve my slurs? Right now they're pretty inconsistent and usually muddy sounding. Even going from one note to another in a scale sounds pretty bad, never mind me trying to go from a low note to a high note or vice versa.

Is there anything in particular I should be focusing on when I'm working on this? I assume that regular lip slur exercises are what needs doing in this situation, but please let me know if there's anything else I should work on.

I have a question about the night before a concert. Due to reasons beyond my control, I haven't been able to practice much recently, and as a result my stamina is quite bad. Is it better to avoid practicing the night before a concert, or is 24 hours enough to "recharge" so that I have as much stamina as possible the next day?

I'm in a community band. The concert I'm playing has a lot of horn solos, and a really long one in the second to last piece. I wasn't originally supposed to play 1st horn, but the 1st horn player all of a sudden can't play the concert, so now I have to play her parts. Sometimes when I'm practicing, I have a really hard time getting through that last solo, and I'm worri

Sorry for this dumb question! I've read all the gym guides and can't figure this part out. I want to raise the prestige of a gym near me. I clicked the battle button on the bottom right once I was at the gym, but the game would only give me the option of one particular Pokemon to choose (an Arcanine that I didn't want to battle with). How do I switch it to a different Pokemon? Do Pokemon have to meet certain requirements before being able to battle?

I'm travelling to Ko Samui for two weeks next year and I am trying to figure out whether it will be possible to stream on Twitch from there. I'll be staying at an Airbnb and I'll need to find a 3G option, although I don't even know if such option exists! Is there an option to pay a flat rate without a contract for unlimited 3G Internet?

It's my understanding that DTAC is the provider of choice in the Islands in the south, but I can't figure anything out on their website. I'm hoping that someone that has experience here can help out instead!
