Really Long Gap Between Updates

Wow hi. First things first. Jason’s “Peppermint to the Max” is one of the best toothpastes I have ever used. Their “Sea” flavor was pretty great, despite having a “fishy” name, but ours got a little weird after being in the tube too long, which seems perfectly reasonable if not somewhat suspicious.

I also found what I think is the finest travel toothbrush container. Normal readers of this site will understand my dislike of the classic “tube style” toothbrush holder. These quite quickly turn into moldy tombs of g.rossness making the brushing process a sad, shameful break during the workday. However, a trip to Rite Aid proved worthwhile: they stocked the innovative “snap top” container: more tiny Tupperware™ than travel container.

I celebrated the new purchase with an Oral-B “gum stimulator” model. I have not used a finer toothbrush since the Sonic Care was presented to me by S when we lived on Marshall Street. It really roughed up the gums in a way I found most…delicious. I can’t wait to brush my teeth at 8:16am tomorrow.

It is really a quality moment in oral hygiene. I will probably make a dentist appointment this week, only to be told that the hazardous mercury filling will have to be replaced which seems a tad labor-intensive/expensive. I guess this visit will count as my second opinion.
