Participant[quote=Casca]In a moment of misplaced altruism, I went to a high school graduation in Spring Valley a few years ago. I’ve never been to visitor’s day at a prison before, but I imagine that it would be very similar… fist fights over seats by adults, obese women in lycra, everyone in their Sunday t-shirt and baggy shorts.[/quote]
epic post of the day!!!
“moment of misplaced altruism,” I’m stealing that and making it part of my everyday vocabulary, love it!
On a serious note, while spring valley has it’s issues, the original poster asked why it is cheaper than Lemon Grove? I have no good answer, LG has similar issues, but then again I spend about as much time in the highway 94 corridor as I do watching professional soccer.

Participant[quote=EconProf]TG: I follow economic and demographic indicators very closely, and you’ve just exposed a terrific one: Tooth Count by state.
From the rankings, it looks like a very reliable indicator of health and socioeconomic well-being. Except I’m a little surprised CA is ranked so high–I would have guessed we would fall somewhere in the middle.[/quote]Econ, I was tired and didn’t research it very hard but in the past I’ve seen studies on the atc (average tooth count) by age bracket per state and dentists per 1000 residents. Cali was always near the top but one state that wasn’t on the list I posted that is always at the top is Hawaii, which is suprising, since that is where a lot of sugar is produced. Another suprising thing is that the southeastern states that ranked high in the “toothless by 65” study also had tooth counts in the single digits at something like 45 years of age. Demographics may be skewed because the top states were also the ones who had been flouridizing their water for decades. My post was meant more of a joke but it is an interesting demographic angle.

ParticipantRen, I had the same thought, take it point by point but it’s late and it would take all my powers to write a rebuttal to someone who felt that reading for pleasure or art appreciation was indigenous to Kentucky. I think I have the answer, Kentucky has the second lowest tooth count while California has the 3rd highest, we are wasting all our reading and art time, brushing and flossing. How vain?

I bet the good people of West Virginia are even more cultured since over 42% do not have a single tooth left by age 65(compared to Kentucky’s 38% and California’s 13.7%), they have so much extra reading and tea house time not to mention the financial windfall from dentistry savings.

Participantspeaking of tuesday, are wearing nametags, hats, buttons, or our underwear on the outside? Or are we just winging it. I’ll be easy to find, I’ll be the only one actually glancing at the Laker/Thunder game.
