Homeless people can be GREAT to talk to. In fact, the homeless guy I talked to on the streetcar is a WHOLE lot more interesting than the date I had last night...FASCINATING. The homeless man was holding a stuffed snowman and said his hands were so cold.
Maybe there is something to the Sonicare toothbrushes. The hygienist said there was no plaque or tartar build-up at all, which I think is a first for me. And the dentist said everything looked good although I'm skeptical about what he learned about my teeth the 20 seconds or so that he was poking around in my mouth.
I went for two or three years without check-ups once because the insurance I had at the time paid so little of it. I know, it sucks without insurance.
