I did not care for the first two “Hotel Transylvania” movies. Basically I felt that Adam Sandler’s style of humor had run its course, and even doing something as unique as applying it to animated monster movies couldn’t make it interesting again. Both films got a One and a Half Star rating out of me (the equivalent of a C- now that I use letter grades) and I remember seriously considering giving One Star to the second film. So “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” was one of the least-anticipated viewings on my summer watchlist.

“Hidden Hurts” is a term I heard last week which reminds me that we never really know the hidden hurts that may be affecting a person’s behavior.
Deputies from the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a shooting Saturday night in northern Elbert County.
Between 1,000 and 1,500 people had gathered for a rodeo at a property in the 44000 block of Comanche Creek Road when a fight erupted. One person is said to have pulled out a gun and began shooting. It is not known if anyone was struck by bullets, however two people who were working the event were treated for minor injuries that occurred during the fight.
Conscientious parents constantly remind their children to brush and floss, and routinely schedule dental checkups to make sure their teeth and gums are healthy – and staying that way.
But youngsters aren’t the only ones who can use such reminders. Older Americans need to put a priority on their oral health as well, and research shows that as a group they aren’t doing so.
