because they think that will count as brushing their teeth.

Because people of all ages experience lonliness and isolation. The elderly are looking for ways to meet people that they can relate to just as teens are. They need an avenue to express themselves in the same way that youth do, especially since many retired people have free time and lack social interaction.

don't know what you mean by oldies, I have been taking baths since I was a baby myself, over 30 years ago, and I don't get sick easily I breath just fine and other than the fact that I have a slight cough from smoking for almost 20 years which I have just recently quit I am perfectly healthy, actually you know what? if you are reffering to oldies meaning elders or older people, I'd take the advice and suggestions of a doctor who has a college education, steam from a hot bath can actually help with breathing problems

My mother has always used baking soda and warm water on a toothbrush to brush her teeth and being the age that she is her teeth are really whiter than any norm.

It works the best with "Wintogreen," rather than peppermint, and should be done with a fresh pack (the moisture makes it spark better). The spark that comes from the Life Saver is considered as a type of triboluminescence, which the sugar in Life Savers contain. Here's an excerpt from my source site: \n\n"Wintergreen sparking, it's believed, is actually a three-step process. Step One: When you shatter the sugar crystals with your teeth, electrons (which are negatively charged) break free. As a result, the atoms in which the electrons were formerly embedded become positively charged. In what amounts to a subatomic game of musical chairs, the free electrons dash around madly trying to find a new home.\n\n"Step Two: Meanwhile, as the sugar crystals disintegrate, nitrogen molecules from the air attach themselves to the fractured surfaces. When the free electrons strike the nitrogen molecules, they cause the latter to emit invisible ultraviolet radiation, along with a faint visible glow.\n\n"Step Three: The UV radiation is absorbed by the wintergreen flavoring, methyl salicylate. This then emits the fairly bright blue light you see. Pretty complicated, I admit. Clearly the planners in the Pentagon weren't the first to be obsessed with high-tech gimcracks."

Try looking on webmd.com or another medical site. I think they can live into their 50s but most don't get very old.

One of my ex's would put a peppermint (or some other hard candy) in his mouth and while we were french kissing I would steal it from him. We made fighting over while kissing a game and we wouldn't stop kissing until it was gone. It really put an interesting twist on normal french kissing.

Senile dementia is a disease of old age.   The person's thinking and reasoning powers are damaged.  Sometimes the person seems to be rational and is in the here and now in their thinking and reasoning and other times they will go off on a tangent that is totally unrelated to what was talked about.   The psychosis can take many forms:  the senior may have misplaced the keys--and become paranoid that someone stole them or was hiding them from him/her. ; or the senior may be paranoid that the pills the doctor prescribed is really poison so that the relatives can get all his money.   etc

My parents are in their mid sixties and they use it all the time.  I also have some older relatives who use it frequently.  Don't really know anyone in their 80's who use it.  But, I am sure there are some out there.

My grandfather passed away in 1987 and was a heavy drinker and a smoker.  Since then, My grandma (who is now deceased) abolished smoking in the house.  Funny thing is, right in front of the fireplace, sits his green chair that he used to sit in to smoke his cigars.  Every once in a while me and my family will catch a whiff of cigar smoke in the same area of the living room.

Because the names are only found among questionable substances sold for the purpose of getting high, my guess is that they are probably made-up names for common herbs like oregano or basil or mint. \n\nYou can get those a lot cheaper at your local market.

Some people just don't test well. What works to keep me from slipping into the duh zone is a cup or two of coffee that morning and a peppermint chapstick.\n\nDon't know why, peppermint brings me back to the real world.\n\nDon't know if there is a scientific basis for it, but a $.99 chapstick is worth trying, right?
