ParticipantHowever, if someone is filming you on camera and is making a pitch, chances are it isn’t a scam but rather an experiment.
Or to make fun of how gullible you are on youtube…
But I don’t think that was the point of the video.
True it wasn’t.. it was trying to figure out how many people are aware of the current price of gold.. If you noticed, he said that maybe he should of done the experiment in his backyard where people are less aware of the current price of gold. I think he salvaged some of it by cutting out where he asked people what the price of gold was. Unfortunately he asked the question in terms of buying what might have been a $50 gold coin for $50, or maybe the coin was a fake.. instead of trying to find what the current value of gold is.
In reality, gold is not ‘real money’ either. It has its own value that changes relatively to other commodities. There is also platinum, silver, oil.. all which can be exchanged for gold or dollars, euros.. at continually changing exchange rates.

ParticipantIf your contractor says they need the money up front to buy materials – offer to issue a joint check -made payable to the contractor and the supplier.
To me, a contractor asking you to pay for materials up front is a big red flag unless they are a very small outfit. They need to have at least enough money for wages between progress payments. If they are so tight that they can not cover materials, I would get suspicious.

ParticipantYou can use hydrogen peroxide to gargle after a meal. It’s cheaper and the same thing as Listerine whitening. Helps keep the stains away.
Arm&Hammer has a line of toothpaste that has hydrogen peroxide and baking soda in it.. tastes like crap(no sugar) but works real well. They have one ‘Age Defying’ which I found interesting, but hard to get. It contains calcium sulfate which I suspect they advertise as “Liquid Calcium” and is supposed to help rebuild the enamel.. I have noticed some differences when using it.
Actually Americans generally have good dental hygiene. I’ve been to countries where you see the cavities as soon as people open their mouths.
I have also come across some foreign citizens where there is very little cavitation and they don’t do as much dental maintenance as the US. The difference is that they don’t have American’s high carbohydrate/starch/sugar diet.
No bread and cookies.
Well I have to have my chocolate chip cookies or dark chocolate once in a while.. but only in moderation.. 😉
So the TJ dentist saved me in a) saying the tooth did not need root-canal bridge ($1350 savings), and b) his costs were of course much lower.
I would be careful on not needing the root-canal. I don’t understand the need for a bridge if you are having posts put in. Bridges add rigidity to the tooth if there is insufficient structure to mount the crown on.. but a post provides the rigidity. A post is made out of titanium and it goes into a tooth’s root – thereby the need for a root canal when you have a post.
Back to the Dentist is us ADA certified and lives and has an office in Chula Vista as well. He said some of his clients simply don’t care about the savings in Mexico, so they stay stateside.
Could be the difference in insurance costs… covering dentists that really should not be practicing in the US..
