floss more
Plus flossing alternatives... 5 months ago

I have two teeth that are really close together and one has a filling with a rough edge. Result: any time I shove floss in there, it gets shredded to bits and stuck between those teeth. Ew!

My hygienist suggests that, for those teeth, I can use a proxabrush (sp?), a waterpik, or a rubber pokey thing to get the part near the gums. I have a hard time remembering to have those things around, so I now have them in my desk, in my purse, and at home near my toothbrush.



index this giant pile of paper on my desk
I got it all cleared out. 4 years ago

And then I changed jobs, so I would have ended up with a clean desk whether I did it or not. (shrug)



read Spider Robinson's new book
I guess it was okay... 4 years ago

...it wasn’t a rehash of previous stories, but it did cover a lot of the same types of material. Basically, just picture one of the particularly eventful Callahan’s stories and imagine it told as a first-person thriller.

I’m not saying it’s a bad story, by any means, but it didn’t blow my mind at all.
