Can anyone suggest what I can do with my hair?

I was happy with the result but my current dentist (not the one who did the braces) has just told me it's created a bite problem, causing my bottom front teeth to gradually wear out the upper teeth so much that I've chipped one tooth badly and two are pretty thin. I'm…

Pinguecula & 'Dry eyes'
My Partner has seen the Doctor and been diagnosed, no problem. Just curious if anyone else has had this/these problems. How long did it last? Did you get back to 'normal'? Is there anything you think that caused/aggravated it - or was it just one of the prices paid for ageing!?

14 hours on water only for fasting bloods - really???
DH has just had to cancel a blood test at our GP that he was due tomorrow as he's found out he has to fast for 14 hours, nothing other than plain tap water in that time. He wasn't told that detail at the time of booking it, I've only just been told on calling them to check. Given that his appointment is 8.40 and he's stuck…
