"Break free from expensive cable bills on February 9th by celebrating National Cut the Cord Day! The streaming movement has rapidly grown over the past five years, and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping. As the digital world supplies more choices, it also provides the flexibility, selection, and reliability we’ve been looking for. So it’s no surprise that industry analysts estimate that up to six million people will cut the cord on traditional TV subscriptions in 2020. As the devices for streaming continue to grow, more people look to cut the cord from cable. Whether binge-watching old favorites or catching the evening news, cord-cutters can customize a channel lineup for half the price of cable." My notes: Who has cut the cord? We still have DirecTv but also have Netflix. Wouldn't mind having just a streaming service but we like the DVR aspect. So if anybody likes what they use, let me know  |

"National Toothache Day on February 9th is a not so subtle reminder of the importance of dental care. Also known as odontalgia, a toothache is pain generating from a tooth or multiple teeth.
A toothache can make us miserable, making it difficult to eat, sleep, or sometimes even talk. It’s safe to say, toothaches are never pleasant and not really something to celebrate.
We can, however, be aware of how to prevent toothaches.
Routine dental care is an essential first step. Avoiding sugary foods and acidic drinks and daily brushing and flossing are important, too. Even so, we can still develop cavities, have accidents that break or chip at a tooth, or find ourselves with an infection. Teeth can also become sensitive to heat or cold.
Treating a toothache in the short term may be simply handled by over-the-counter treatments, but seeing a dentist may still be required to resolve the issue. Some toothaches are so severe as to require emergency intervention, thus treating the early signs of a mild toothache is important."
My notes: Also, taking care of your teeth will help your overall health too.

"National Pizza Day on February 9th celebrates one of America’s all-time favorite foods. Whether it is thin crust, Chicago-style, deep dish, or anything in between, pizza is an American favorite.
We love our pizzas, and they come in so many varieties, too. As we nosh on our favorite, explore a few pizza facts:
Pepperoni is the most popular pizza at 36% of all pies ordered.
Over 3 billion pizzas are sold in the USA each year. Add another 1 billion on frozen pizzas
In the United States, 17% of all restaurants are pizzerias.
Antica Pizzeria, the first Pizzeria, opened in Naples, Italy, in 1738.
Gennaro Lombardi, the first Pizzeria in the United States, opened in 1895 in New York City.
Americans consume on average 23 pounds of pizza per person each year."
My notes: Do you like pizza? What is your favorite topping? We make our own with a gluten free crust & pile on veggies.

Cutting the cord - like ZandraJoi, if it weren't for the DVR part, I'd probably cut it too. Pizza - YES! Gimme gimme gimme! Pile the meat on (as ZandraJoi cringes)!  |

Pizza with pineapple is the best thing in the planet. Anyone that thinks differently - UGH!  But it also all depends on the pizza shop. Some pizza shops are best to avoid at all costs. Some places sell dessert pizza and that is so delicious! I would prefer a dessert pizza over a normal one. |

And I did indeed have pizza for my dinner tonight! Though my national pizza day is every Saturday, I usually have it to celebrate the end of another week. I need to get back to making my own homemade pizza.

I eat organic meat but would prefer to just have veggies Pizza with pineapple is the best thing in the planet. Anyone that thinks differently - UGH! But it also all depends on the pizza shop.

And I did indeed have pizza for my dinner tonight! Though my national pizza day is every Saturday, I usually have it to celebrate the end of another week. I need to get back to making my own homemade pizza. Pizza shops never put on enough ingredients without having to pay extra for it. Plus, I like a lot of sauce. One of the many reasons we like making our own. Let us know when you decide to make your own again! |

"National Bagel and Lox Day recognizes one of America's favorite bagel combinations on February 9th.
Bagels are one of the few breads that are boiled then baked. This creates a soft inside while keeping a crisp outside. Bagels originated in Poland in the early 17th century and now sell over a billion dollars worth each year in the United States."
My notes: While I have eaten bagels, it was with cream cheese, not lox. Have you tried lox? What would you put on your bagel?

It's been a while since I've had bagels, but when I did have them, I certainly didn't have them with lox. Can't remember what I had them with instead, though!

Never had lox. It's fish. I like bagels with just butter and salt, they are the best. But I like more savory than sweet. I rather have garlic and onion, not cinnamon raisin.
