Q. I have a friend who's turning 13 and I'm helping her plan her party. We are in seventh grade, and her birthday is in January. I know it's early, but we need to start planning so we can find our budget. We live in Florida.
Thanks!

Answer
Movie party theme for hall or at home. Have a movie themed party. They sell decoration kit and lots of decorations for this at oriental trading. com. If at home watch a cool movie, have popcorn and all kids of candy and junk food. Make or buy pizza and have sundaes. Have a sleep over with the girls if you want. Have a dance in a hall with this theme. Have everhyone wear a movie star costume. Favors: black gold metallic beads from oriental, directors clapboard photo keychain from oriental, sunglasses from oriental or windy city novelities (make sure to buy adult ones).

Neon glow in the dark This is a cool theme!
invites:
For the invites oriental trading has neon badges. They are neon nylon necklaces that have a clear plastic case. You need to make the cards on your computer using the business card maker on your computer or just use the MS Word. You might want to put a really big VIP in color and on the back at the top Nicole's Neon Bash in cool color and font and then the party info, who what when.

Oriental trading sells Neon gangster hats.

favors:
Oriental sells neon sunglasses.
Oriental also sells neon jelly bracelets
Glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces, lot of sites have these.
Neon Twist and Glow lollipops.
Neon nail polish u.s. toy company
Neon lazer candy (just like pixie sticks but in neon)
Neon slap bracelet at u.s. toy company
Decorations:
More neon themes go along with Glow in the dark.

windy city novelties has neon tablecloths, cups, napkins. Just type neon in their search bar.

Balloons:
Shindigz has black light sensitive neon latex balloons. Again put neon in their search bar.

Shindigz also sells a neon lights personalized banner.

Oriental trading sells a neon fringe banner

Oriental trading sells neon balloon weights for the balloons you buy.

Party cheap has neon party horns and garland.

Glow in the dark sites:

shop.glogames.com Lots of games here.
Light God

U.S. toy company sells neon body glitter.
Windy city novelties sell lumi balloons that are balloon with lights in them.

Large neon party pack (kinda expensive) at windy city novelties.

So to search for neon and glow items go to all the party sites ands put that in the search bar:


These appetizers were great at our sweegt 16:

Taco Dip:
2 softened cream cheese.
1 16oz sour cream
1 packet taco seasoning.

Mix with mixer. Put in bottom of a cookie sheet. Top with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and green onions. Use the cheese but you can altered the rest to your taste, maybe add black olives. Make 2 of these. Serve with tostitos scoops.

PUPPY CHOW
6 cups Crispix cereal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
12 ounce chocolate chips
2 cups powdered sugar
Melt peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave or on the stove. Stir into cereal. Put powdered sugar in a paper sack. Put cereal mixture in and shake until well coated.
Silver Dollar Sandwiches:
These are silver dollar rolls made by your bakery in the grocery store. We have them in our store just ready to grab, for large orders call ahead for some. Anyway they are perfect for parties, hand size, neat. You buy shaved ham, beef and turkey. You put lettuce on if you want and some cut cheese into triagles and put on. Also put real butter on on side of the bun inside of course. And have mustard and mayo packets on ice in case anyone wants that.

GAMES:
Twister
limbo
get a pinata that matches a theme if you choose a theme.

Put a certain number of candies in a pie plate, fill with cool whip or whip cream and guests have to hold their hands behind their back and find the candies to win a prize.

Buy poster of a cute actor or singer (get one of a girl and one of a boy if you are having a coed party). Anyway, put lipstick on the guest, blind fold them and then spin them a couple times and put them in front of the poster and they have to kiss it. Whoever comes the closest to the actor or singers mouth wins a prize. This can be funny, especially if boys come and they have to put on lipstick.

Police/Jail: Isheriffs badges at shindigz. costumes and handcuffs at oriental trading.
Police line up board at oriental trading.
Police red flashing light at shindigz.
Police car cardboard standee at shindigz.
wanted posters at buycostumes.
Get some brick wall backgrounds to make a jail room or use for the walls at the stumps prom. To make cheap jail bars get PVC pipe really cheap like 3.50 for a 10 foot piece. He said you can spray paint it for a great effect.
Police standees at futurememories.com
Go to jail sign: If in Milwaukee or Illinois rent this otherwise make one yourself from propsunlimited.

Tiffany M

I cracked my tooth right in half about 2 months ago, its starting to turn gray, and hurts pretty bad... I need to get it pulled but i dont have medical or dental coverage im only 20 years old and dont make much money and im not a student and no kids so i dont think i qualify for state healthcare, but i do live on my own. So does anyone know where in Rhode Island i can get my tooth pulled free or cheap?

Answer
I do not believe that any hospital can turn you away in an emergency - say you are in terrible pain. They bill you later.
Sometimes you can make a payment arrangement (monthly payments)

Try a dentistry school. The students are supervised by qualified staff.

General caring for teeth:

1. Use:

- Pre-rinse: PLAX® Advanced Formula Plaque Loosening Rinse Original
Advanced Formula PLAX® is patented and clinically proven to remove more plaque than brushing alone, Plaque build-up can lead to dull looking teeth, bad breath and an unpleasant film in your mouth, Pleasant tasting PLAX® helps loosen and detach plaque,

- Floss Buddy Kit - If you have difficulty flossing-:
An easy way to get patients to floss other than using Flosser Piks™ is maxill’s Floss Buddy Kit™ that comes with the easy to use wand and 12 metre E-Z Slide Floss™.
* Narrow floss bridge to best access cavity prone back teeth
* “No Slip” grooves keep floss tight while Floss Buddy is in use
* Specially notched grooves for the fast winding/unwinding of dental floss
* Ribbed finger areas for secure handling Compact sized handle for easy maneuverability Kit includes maxill’s 12 yard Mint Dental Floss

- A Sonic electric toothbrush
This cleaning action is founded on the intense speed at which the bristles of the sonic toothbrush vibrate. This vibratory motion is able to impart energy to the fluids that surround teeth (such as saliva). The motion of these agitated fluids is capable of dislodging dental plaque, even beyond where the bristles of the toothbrush actually touch. Only a sonic toothbrush can make this claim.

- Vicco Ayurvedic Toothpaste or ARM & HAMMER PeroxiCare toothpaste

- ACT Fluoride Rinse for Kids or ACT Restoring Mouthwash (adults)

2. Tips

- Floss before brushing.

- Use an electric toothbrush (e.g. Sonic) OR a good medium bristle toothbrush (Colgate 360); brush top teeth down & lower teeth up.

- Brush inside surfaces of teeth same way

- Brush along the flat chewing/ biting surfaces

- Pass brush between gum & cheek also massage gums all over

- Brush tongue

- Toilet lid should be closed when flushing and when not in use.

- Toothbrush should be covered and stored at least 4 feet away from toilet

- Look at your toothbrush from behind. When you can see bristles sticking out the sides it’s time to get a new one.

3. Avoid anything that can scratch/ damage your enamel.
Check the Arm & Hammer site -.lots of stuff. The baking soda in their toothpaste is dental grade.

Avoid candy that remains in the mouth long (lolly pops, sweets etc). The sugar turns into acid which attacks the enamel. So with sweets that you suck, the acid stays around longer to do more damage. On the other hand cake & ice-cream for example, are quickly swallowed - generally no problem.
