I think my dentist is deaf. I went today and asked for an antibiotic injection in the jaw for an infection. He prescribed me oral antibiotics though. Hopefully they'll work.

As I've mentioned I made nettles into a tea in Bulgaria and drank one sip. I'm glad that Bulgaria was able to make a business out of it but I need lots of water for my voice and maybe a large amount of food. People find it difficult to understand what I say.
Anyway aside from that.. when I was a teenager I wanted to grow thicker hair and I thought I'd write this memory.
I went with my uncle to our villa in the mountains and talked to him. There was moss growing on the pine trees in the area. I asked him what helps grow hair. He told me to taste a very small amount of moss after boiling it to remove anything harmful from it. And it worked. Even though my hair is falling it's happening very slowly.
I been thinking. Maybe Bulgaria could make moss into a better tea than someone who's very old; someone who's time has passed to create things. He was good.. for his generation.
When something is newer people don't know how to think because they aren't used to it. They need time to catch up to something that's older. Yet we can learn from the older generation. What if Bulgaria could make all the things that the old people knew about into something better. A fully well-made product.
The old people knew that moss isn't harmful but he forgot one thing. It increases mustache growth if you shave your mustache each time.
There are films. An elderly karate instructor in one of those corny films from the 90's from China has a very long mustache. How did it grow so long? It wouldn't be possible. I guess this post explains it. Some things in the east were dishes with moss in them -yes this is actually true.
The last thing I have to say is that I don't want to grow my mustache further so I'm keeping it exactly the way it is. This is actually why I never shave it. I don't think someone should be illegally imprisoned for the flawed knowledge of an elder which they took during high school. As for him: Even after age 80 -he still had his hair. No bald spots. But he kept it very short and it wouldn't grow longer. He was fully sane yet may be seen as questionable to very young people.
Thousands of years ago the original tea was not made from dried leaves. It was made from tea-tree bark. We stopped doing it and started using the leaves. And I don't think we should do anything strange out of our modern times being the current norm. Yet maybe people worldwide can ask their elderly about their lives. What they ate and drank or did and make things from it. They used axes to cut wood. We've made machines that do that. Why wouldn't we be able to improve the remedies for various problems that they used and modernize them.
We have freedom in the US and I think that everyone has the right to speak. People with an illness should be allowed to talk about the same topics as people that don't have one. This is in no means an attempt to change the world into something different but I thought I would write it because people can learn from it.
We have so many things now that the youth is working. What if these new generations are simply forgotten a hundred years from now? Some of the things become obsolete but some can be improved into an appropriate product. Maybe we could make a hair cream from it?
P.S. In case some of you are still in dis-belief I want to share a story. After the mossy adventure I tried minoxidil which is a cream with alcohol in it and a chemical used to grow hair. I put very little and rubbed it into my scalp. This is a new thing right? Yet people can't imagine how flawed it is. I brought it in Bulgaria because it costs half the price. I woke up as if I had drank a large amount of alcohol. My family went to the pharmacist and he said that this cream can do that but he asked how much I had put on my hair and said that it's not dangerous. I don't like being lethargic and laying in bed for 5 hours. People will tell you that most things the old generations did are obsolete. How inexperienced are the people after them? The youth is causing problems that are far past a very long mustache that either goes downward or if you decide to artistically shave it can make you look like the guy who made the chicken restuarant.
I've repeatedly said "When something is newer people don't know how to think because they aren't used to it. They need more time to catch up to something that's older." Stronger remedy. Larger potential problem. I've never used that ointment since then.
P.P.S. With the passing of time I believe that the words are proving themselves. The old generations are pure gold and we have many people from those times still here.
P.P.P.S The last thing I have to say is regardless of what we do as a population maybe we should just take whatever majority chooses based on common sense and make it into a better product instead of making something entirely new because each time it can have flaws. Sometimes greater flaws. But if a version 2.0 is made of it then it becomes pure gold. Vangha said that we'll lose our water but we will eat with gold plates. Maybe this is what she meant? As a person ages they grow and they change. I guess products could have growth too with time.
Final Post Scriptum: A few years ago my mother showed me that moss is harmful on the internet. Yet I'm creative so after she walked out of the room I looked up the amount. I think it was 12 kilograms. [26 pounds] I smiled.
I've decided to discuss this post in the comfort of my warm apartment with my act team. If they find something wrong with it I'll delete it. I wouldn't say there were a problem when there is none because you're wasting people's time and money.
Respect your elders.
This is actually why I think everyone in a position of authority or power is doing a good job. Because they have to be past a certain age to have that career.

When I was young my father hired this company that I can't seem to remember the name of. They improved some electronics in our home. It was summer and I asked them if they could do the air conditioner as well. They removed the plastic and put this wrap around the interior with computer parts on it making the same AC work better.
Anyway. It's winter and I'm certain because that company does a phenomenal job it's still around though I can't seem to remember what it was called. Do you guys know if they do heating units and how much it would cost. I assume they can do it to anything that uses electricity so this might be really good. The same amount of energy to make the room warmer all they did is replace the circuitry on the exterior with superior computer parts or whatever is in the heating system.
Currently I'm warm as I have hot coffee and my electric heater turned up but I'd like for them to make it a bit better and I'm certain it won't cost much.
P.S. With our heating, hot drinks, and warm clothes winter isn't difficult but I think everyone likes quality of life. I think they could do a really great job.

When I was in HS I had turned 18 in 2008 and I walked around the city by myself. I had reached steinway street and saw a massage place. I walked in and I had a paper with me that said that in all honesty I don't know anything about anatomy or the body yet I have very strong hands and fingers and somewhat strong forearms. I had invented something which was not done in the US yet. Other countries may have had it and it may not have existed. I really don't know. Typist massage.
The owner asked me to demonstrate on their hand which I did for about 20 minutes. We waited a bit and I told her "Give it a minute." Followed by saying "Move your hand and fingers a bit." And she hired me.
I worked there for about a week in a fully appropriate way and started making money. I made a few hundred and later on if I'm not mistaken typist massage became illegal then it became legal again later.
I think computers should be used in a good way. As they increase our hand and forearm strength we can apply that towards improving the rest of us. They should not be used in a way that makes the side of the hand muscle shrink inwards and expand back to normal again in seconds and if you developed this and it's small stop using a pc and apply ice and rubbing alcohol for a month. Your hands will go back to normal. Past that use a computer consciously and responsibly.
Anyway since I'm a fan of saving money the only thing I can say is if you want to see the effect of this technique all you have to do is sit in a pose with legs crossed and press your soles all over ignoring the toes with your fingers rapidly with strength for an hour. Past that put on sneakers and walk somewhere. You feel incredibly strength in your muscles and tendons and veins after doing so in the foot. It can be applied towards other parts of the body such as arms and legs and chest and back. The only place it shouldn't be done is the stomach. You feel like you can move your extremities more; like you can walk further.
Later on there was an automated machine that did that but it's one large rubber bump that moves back and forward. It needs to be bulbs the size of the fingers that press in rhythm one after the other as you move it around the body. People would use it after lifting something heavy at the gym sometimes before.
I really don't know why I was able to improve physical health so much for various people even though I have absolutely no medical knowledge.
Anyway. Later on I was thinking of starting a business. There are many times when sneakers wear out and the new ones they produce don't fit well. You have to go to a store and try out various pairs but what if there were a website where you type in the model number and it shows newer ones that have the same interior shape so you can select them and get a pair of sneakers or shoes or boots delivered to your door that fit perfectly without causing discomfort while walking.
I spoke to my father about this business. The last thing I told him is "I may make millions. I may go broke."

When I was young in New York during middle school we had an assignment. It was very simple because we're young and I thought I would explain something. "I like singing." A student wrote this. "I like dancing" ...another student.
I'm actually the person who originally wrote "I like trains" for the assignment.
A day passed and my father and the teacher had a very serious discussion about what I wrote. That it was very intelligent.
Yet he has more experience than I do. A few months passed and he told me "Son. It's not about the train. You should think about the destination." I replied "The train gets you there though." He was in deep thought about the whole thing but he smiled at me. I had my ability to hear and see well and it was one of the first things that I wrote because I was thinking. I wrote it in plain english.
Later on the ASDF movie came along and it's become popular as a from of entertainment. So I guess I could say that you're welcome for my creativity.
In all honesty it sounds different when heard in a film than written. I don't really know which is better.
I'm a bit embarrassed to write this because it sounds so darn inspirational.

When I was young my father walked in and asked me what the kindest thing I could say is.
I told them that it's very easy to say and said in Bulgarian language.. "Whether you say it to a woman because I'm male or to a family member it would be: "I love you more than I love myself." .."

When I was in Bulgaria my family installed heating. It was only in one room yet I said "This is good because we can stay in the same room during the daytime [on the weekends] and save money on our heating bill during winter months."
Now that I look back on it. It makes more sense to heat one room instead of heating three rooms.
(This was many years ago.)

When I was four I asked my father if we could go on TV. It was a very long time ago 1994 and very few people know about it. I doubt any place other than few people in Sofia would remember. I spoke although it was for a short time and I clearly remember one part which I can share.
It was the second time I had said it. "When something is newer people don't know how to think because they aren't used to it. They need more time to catch up to something older." I asked the show host to think of something new but not too new and share it with me that people have made as a species. He replied in Bulgarian language "Cars." I thought about cars for a bit and asked if they would need to make noise. He told me they have horns for preventing problems. I did not know much about the world so I said that this is a good thing because all the people in the area can hear sound.
For a small 30 second pause it seemed like something that required so little intellect to think about that he would eventually say this may mildly harm people's ears. He may have been about to and he may not have but I continued speaking.
I said that maybe this noise disciplines people. Many people listen to music for long periods of time then they hear the sound of the world which wakes them out of their coma. I continued by asking if people usually drive near their local area or far away and added that if there are many traffic problems in the area then maybe it may mean that stores aren't doing as well economically because people are thinking less. Maybe they improve with time.
We took a very long pause and my father spoke for a moment saying only one sentence "Nikoi ne moje da razbere kak dete misle." [No one can understand how a child thinks.]
The announcer said "Dimitar Rouynekov" as an end to the show.
I don't think there's anything wrong with this memory. I just wanted to share it. Very few people read my posts on the internet.. I get that. Yet it's something of value. Memories are precious and we can learn from them.
Some of the very few people watching it. Well one peron a few days later drove his car on the street while I was walking on the sidewalk and he honked his horn every 5 seconds for a minute then stopped even though it was the only car on the street which I heard as the car moved into the distance. Then he stopped. I write this last part just to say that we should be responsible and not careless.
