Some people choose to walk for a good cause and others run, but the newest act of charity involves a bow and arrow and a loose tooth. It's called "tooth archery" and it just might be the only hunting sport where the "victim" prospers by emerging tooth free, ache free, and a couple bucks richer. (In fact, it leaves us all a couple bucks richer!)

When the frilly or traditional pillows don't do the trick, there are plenty of alternatives.

Two months ago, a good friend of mine went on an insulin pump after living with type 1 diabetes for 20 years. Needless to say, it's a big transition. I asked her to share her experiences, and here she tells us woman to woman what to expect — from getting it on to fashion choices — when switching from daily injections to an insulin pump.

Dear Sugar
I know I seem completely vain, but I recently had my left front bicuspid tooth pulled. Basically it's the tooth right behind the "fang" tooth and is visible when I grin. I'm left with a gaping hole where it once was and it is quite depressing.

Breast feeding
HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Function
Proper nipple care, positioning, appropriate nursing frequency, and other measures can prevent many common breast-feeding problems.
Recommendations
Most women's breasts have nipples that protrude slightly at rest and become erect when stimulated, as with cold. During pregnancy, the nipple and the pigmented area around it (areola) thicken in preparation for breast-feeding.
