Stomatol is an old brand of toothpaste, and this advertisement sign has become a local landmark since its arrival in 1909. In fact, it was the very first animated sign in Sweden, and to think it's still in use, towering above the rooftops where it was moved in 1933. As you may notice, the sign is made from lightbulbs and not neon tubes.
Amazing that these were still quite close in proximity to their original shelf price tags I guess! Also makes sense that a lot of this expensive stuff was already sold by my first liquidation visit.
We'll (finally) wrap up the Horn Lake Rite Aid series next week, as in *all* next week, with a week-long commemoration of the one year anniversary of it's liquidation and closure...

Here are some more pictures from my Archives :
My journey to the world of photography, started as a mere excitement of handling the toy called camera, when ever I was out on a vacation with my wife Shnaoli and children Tushita and Kinjol. Thankfully, my wife has always encouraged me and posed as a willing model whenever I wanted. I know, at times, I must have gotten on her nerves to get the right pictures, while the family waited to move on. But They have been supportive and always appreciated my work.. I have come to understand, very early, that one can not pursue photography as a passion, without the support of family, especially the wife.
The immense support from the family is invisible to outsiders, but vital and is indispensable. We must acknowledge and respect their patience, support and contribution in the making of who we are and who we will be.
My daughter's dentist told her that one should brush one's teeth BEFORE one eats one's breakfast. This was confirmed by my seven year old grand daughter who had just been studying teeth at school. Apparently the gungy stuff which builds up in one's mouth overnight contains bacteria which are eager for their breakfast. If one has breakfast they then have a source of food which they eat and then poo acid into one's mouth. Brushing causes this acid to be driven into the crevices between the teeth. So – brush away the bacteria BEFORE they get a chance to eat your breakfast :)
Because I now follow this advice, I have had to put a clock in my bathroom. My electric toothbrush has a two minute timer on it and brushing one's teeth for TWO minutes seems like an absolute age so I watch the clock, breaking it into 15 second sections. For the first 15 seconds I brush in front of my lower left teeth, next 15 seconds the back of my lower left teeth … and so on. Previously I was wearing my watch but now, as I haven't dressed, I need a clock !

This Tyrannosaurus Rex used red toothpaste
The head of existing T. Rex skeletons is almost my height. Lucky for us it went extinct in one of the mass extinction cataclysms suffered by our planet Earth.
The teeth of Tyrannosaurus rex displayed marked heterodonty (differences in shape).[13][23] The premaxillary teeth at the front of the upper jaw were closely packed, D-shaped in cross-section, had reinforcing ridges on the rear surface, were incisiform (their tips were chisel-like blades) and curved backwards. The D-shaped cross-section, reinforcing ridges and backwards curve reduced the risk that the teeth would snap when Tyrannosaurus bit and pulled. The remaining teeth were robust, like "lethal bananas" rather than daggers; more widely spaced and also had reinforcing ridges.[24] Those in the upper jaw were larger than those in all but the rear of the lower jaw. The largest found so far is estimated to have been 30 centimetres (12 in) long including the root when the animal was alive, making it the largest tooth of any carnivorous dinosaur yet found.[3]
Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest land carnivores of all time; the largest complete specimen, FMNH PR2081 ("Sue"), measured 12.8 metres (42 ft) long, and was 4.0 metres (13.1 ft) tall at the hips.[3] Mass estimates have varied widely over the years, from more than 7.2 metric tons (7.9 short tons),[2] to less than 4.5 metric tons (5.0 short tons),[5][6] with most modern estimates ranging between 5.4 and 6.8 metric tons (6.0 and 7.5 short tons).[4][7][8][9] Packard et al. (2009) tested dinosaur mass estimation procedures on elephants and concluded that dinosaur estimations are flawed and produce over-estimations; thus, the weight of Tyrannosaurus could be much less than usually estimated.[10]
Although Tyrannosaurus rex was larger than the well known Jurassic theropod Allosaurus, it was slightly smaller than some other Cretaceous carnivores, such as Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus.[11][12]
The neck of Tyrannosaurus rex formed a natural S-shaped curve like that of other theropods, but was short and muscular to support the massive head. The forelimbs had only two clawed fingers,[13] along with an additional small metacarpal representing the remnant of a third digit.[14] In contrast the hind limbs were among the longest in proportion to body size of any theropod. The tail was heavy and long, sometimes containing over forty vertebrae, in order to balance the massive head and torso. To compensate for the immense bulk of the animal, many bones throughout the skeleton were hollow, reducing its weight without significant loss of strength.[13]
The largest known Tyrannosaurus rex skulls measure up to 5 feet (1.5 m) in length.[15] Large fenestrae (openings) in the skull reduced weight and provided areas for muscle attachment, as in all carnivorous theropods. But in other respects Tyrannosaurus’ skull was significantly different from those of large non-tyrannosauroid theropods. It was extremely wide at the rear but had a narrow snout, allowing unusually good binocular vision.[16][17] The skull bones were massive and the nasals and some other bones were fused, preventing movement between them; but many were pneumatized (contained a "honeycomb" of tiny air spaces) which may have made the bones more flexible as well as lighter. These and other skull-strengthening features are part of the tyrannosaurid trend towards an increasingly powerful bite, which easily surpassed that of all non-tyrannosaurids.[18][19][20] The tip of the upper jaw was U-shaped (most non-tyrannosauroid carnivores had V-shaped upper jaws), which increased the amount of tissue and bone a tyrannosaur could rip out with one bite, although it also increased the stresses on the front teeth.

He gets his teeth brushed after breakfast and then after his dinner he gets the tooth gel. He loves them both!

1988 Team Crest road bike. This bike was a barn find. Ridden less than 25 miles and in nearly immaculate condition and 100% factory original (Shimano 105 group, blue Nitto stem, blue Vetta saddle, etc.). This is the version that was sold to the public. It is unknown how many were produced but the rumor is 300. They are tough to find!
When I cleaned my teeth this morning I had to squeeze the very last bit out of the toothpaste tube.
The hereios of the We're Here! group have paid a visit to the Morning Glory group today. The day has dawned dull and overcast - no "morning glory" so this is the best I could do.

Ahhh, the cap on the toothpaste... the proverbial source of marital friction. After 13 years of marriage, I have finally figured out the solution to our toothpaste woes and have put an end to the crusty, oozy mess that results when my husband leaves the cap off of the tube. Now, we have his and hers toothpaste and he can do with his what he wants. Sure, it costs twice as much when you buy it but you only have to buy it half as often! I mean, just because you're married, doesn't mean you have to share everything, right...?
