well, its officially a banner weekend at Meowderly. Today the loml and I invested in a new washer & dryer. Much thanks to the loml for making me pick a set instead of spending the next day and half reading every single amazon.com review in existence.
I'm really looking forward to having a washing machine that can actually spin the water out of my blankets.
On a lighter note, I decided to start using those little floss picks. One of the guys in my office always uses one after a lunch (now, this could be kind of disgusting because he always pulls out a floss pick after lunch, while we are still in the car.. but I somehow he gets away with it). I asked him about it, because my old dentist wanted me to floss twice a day, but I have the worst track record on this kind of thing.
He said it was pretty convenient and he winds up reusing his floss picks with no issues (again, I should find this disgusting, but you would have to meet him. Somehow, he gets away with it). Now this was the major concern for me. they sell these things for $5 a pack, and I'm wondering about the excess waste in picks and cost-effectiveness as opposed to using a standard pack of floss. (now that I write this down, it all seems so petty and silly though... hmm)
anyway, I decided to give it a go and spent $2 on a 40 pack of flossers. And the moment I tried to use one, I remembered why i have such a shitty track record with flossing. My back teeth are crowded and they shred floss like you would not believe. The only thing that works for me is Glide, and even then it can be a bit of a hard time. Unfortunately, I bought another brand of floss picks and I went through four of them before I gave up. bleh..
at least my new tongue scraper won't give me any issues.

I also heavily read Amazon.com reviews, but it's starting to get annoying because you have people who go in and write stuff just to push the product (or make it seem worse than another product). Consumer Reports is my bible, though.
For some reason tongue scraping always elicits a strange response in my brain. I brush my tongue, though, so it shouldn't seem all that wacky.
Personally I agree that floss picks are kind of a waste, but I guess it encourages more people to floss. Glide has always been my favorite, because I also have some misbehaving teeth. It also seems to break a lot less than other floss (I hold it pretty tight).
Somehow he gets away with it? Is that like another way of saying he's cute/charming so it's not as disgusting as if Ron Jeremy were doing it?

sort of.. he's just a really relaxed friendly hawaiian dude. so when he uses the pick, he's just really relaxed and cool about it.. I just dunno how else to explain it.
