A Few Things I’ve Learned

• Despite their claims to the contrary, flossing with floss works better than using an oral irrigator (waterpik etc). It cleans your teeth better, leaves your gums healthier.
• At-home dental products that make claims about reducing tartar mean reducing tartar of the future. They can prevent it from getting worse. They can’t do anything about existing tartar.
• If you go ten years between teeth cleanings it’ll take more than one visit to get your super gross teeth clean. Take some ibuprofen before going in.
• Your head has a lot of empty space in it. Not YOUR head specifically. All heads. This can make infections hard to spot. So much empty space.
• If you have an amazon.com gift card you cannot use it on amazon.ca.
• You cannot buy an amazon.com gift card and sent it to someone to use on amazon.ca. They are totally separate entities.
• Shipping to Canada from the USA is pretty expensive.
• Shopping for a new television is dizzying and terrifying.
• Pervasive motor sounds thrumming through your home at night are ominous and hard to track down. Is it a generator? Somebody’s AC condenser (switching on in 50* weather)? Attempted communication from Beyond The Veil? Hard to tell.
• Sometimes kids get convinced squirrels are venomous and there’s really nothing you can do to convince them otherwise.

I knew some of those but not others. Random factoids for the geeky win!

Sometimes kids get convinced squirrels are venomous and there’s really nothing you can do to convince them otherwise.

Being wary of squirrels is wise though. I'm sure they'd be venomous if they had the option. ;-)
