so, my dad texted me last night and suggested i mention my mom's flossing habits in my next post - so, i will start with that. my mom is a daily flosser. she keeps floss in one of the end tables in the living room, and flosses every night while watching tv before she brushes her teeth. my sister and dad think the amount of floss she uses is ridiculous - my dad says she uses 42 feet, of course that isn't accurate. but, she does use a a lot. she starts with the end of the floss wrapped around her left fingers, flosses a tooth crevice, adds that used part to the wrap around her left fingers, and so on.
i am like my mother, and this is no exception. i keep my floss in the living room and floss every night before i brush my teeth - to me flossing after you brush your teeth is dumb because you're getting all that crap out of your teeth and then that land on clean minty teeth? i don't get people that do that. like, why wouldn't you? why would you use used floss? at that point, flossing is a moot point. you can't accurately clean teeth with dirty floss - it's like trying to get 100% clean in bath water. doesn't work. anyway, i digress. so, not only do i keep my floss in the living room, but i also use a ridiculous amount of floss. i like a clean floss segment between every tooth crevice. there are 26 tooth crevices in the average mouth, 30 if you're one of the ones that have all four wisdom teeth. when you take in the finger wrapping, cleaning, etc. i would say you need at least 6 inches per crevise. that is 180 inches (minimum) of floss you would need,which equates 15 feet. i believe this calculation is correct.
which could lead me to another random thought - i hate baths. i am well aware that there are many women (i would go so far as to say a large majority) that love baths. i watch hgtv religiously and oftentimes whether a house has a bath or not is an actual deal breaker - many women will forego an awesome house just because it doesn't have a bath. i don't get it. baths are boring. you can't get all the way clean because you are sitting in watered down filth. and i always get so hot and sweaty when i'm in a bath. and i feel all slippery and slimey. i hate baths. and i will never be in a couple that takes baths together - that would be so annoying. i like to bathe alone, case and point. no exceptions, at least so far.
i recently was talking about nose-picking with someone, i can't remember who. at any rate, this individual swore she/he didn't pick their nose. to which i asked, 'then how do you get your boogers out?' this person tried to convince me that they get their boogers out simply by blowing their nose. uh, no. i don't know what kind of boogers this person had, and how forceful this air was firing from their nostrils, but i find it impossible to get my boogers out without picking them out. so, yea - i pick my nose. and i think that anyone who says otherwise is full of it. i mean, i pick my nose in private, oftentimes in the shower, and make sure i wash my hands afterward and a good nose blow most of the time follows - but dude, everyone picks their nose.
which leads me to my next point - peeing in the lake. everyone pees in the lake, ocean, river, what-have-you. a group of friends and me were having a discussion about this last summer - one of them tried to tell me that she does not pee in the lake. that is a bold faced lie. if you're out on the lake all day long drinking beer, you're going to have to pee every half hour at least. it's actually just kind of understood here in austin because we're out on the lake quite often in the summer - that's just what we do here. and you're sitting on your little noodle in the lake, move away from the group, some even say 'don't come over here', and you pee. it's seriously not a big deal. and as long as you're away from people and stuff it's okay. it's not gross when you think about it - fish and ducks and bird shit and piss in the lake daily, fish die in the lake, and there are far more bacteria and germs than a little human pee. if you think it's gross to pee in the lake, then you shouldn't go to the lake - there are far worse things floating around in there. the discussion did get a bit more detailed (shall i say), but i will spare you at this time.
tata for now :)
