Personal Brushing Notes
.1. If using an Oral-B power toothbrush for the first time, what follows are a few pointers to ensure your safety. For those of you unfamiliar with this product, it is a self spinning industrial strength toothbrush (recommended by most dentists, eh):
(a) When you first start using it, be gentle with your teeth, for if you press too hard on them, it will actually feel as though your brain is being shaken (not stirred). When your head starts shaking not of its own volition at 6:30 a.m., you may not have a great rest of day.
(b) Oddly enough, the aforementioned shaking is somewhat addictive and you’ll find yourself running (don’t trip!) to the washroom in the mornings and after every meal because you have to “brush”. You will go missing for days on end, and your family may consider sending you to a rehab centre with you kicking and screaming that you need to “brush”.
(c) For the first few days, don’t place the Oral-B power tool into your mouth unless you are standing above a sink, because you will drool. Until you’re used to it, the drooling is a part of the inevitable growing pains, trust me.
(d) After placing the tooth paste on your Oral-B, and before hitting the start button, I recommend you place it in your mouth. If you hit the start button before the spinning power tool is safely hidden inside of said closed area, you will be cleaning toothpaste out of your eyes, hair, mirror, walls and ceiling (not necessarily in that order).
.2. I have been receiving e-mails from individuals who frequent this blog, and have finally been told that the reason they’re not posting comments is because they are under the impression that they must hold a blogger account in order to do so. And so…I did a little investigation in order to find whether this is in fact true or otherwise, and am happy to report that you’re all wrong.
The blogger folks are somewhat tricky and when you click the Comment button below any entry, you are taken to a page where there is a small Post a comment (that does not appear to be a link, but it is). Click on that and you are taken to another page that reads Comment Sign in that prompts you for a Username and a Password. But alas, below the massive blue ‘Sign in’ button, there is a small link that is easy to miss and it reads Or Post Anonymously and it is on this link that you want to click and…post anonymously. Sneaky they are, the folks at blogger (but we love them still).
If you do this, please make certain to actually sign your name at the end of your comment so I know who you are (thank you).
.3. Last night, I was at the corner store with my friend A purchasing candy for the movie we had rented. Standing before the cashier man, I was told that my total was $6.76 and so I handed him $7.00. Within moments, I had discovered a penny, and so I repeated excitedly two times (in Newton fashion) “I have a penny. I have a penny!” to which the man responded dryly “I’m happy for you”. Once again, I laughed alone.
.4. I am a very regular customer at Holt Renfrew and I think it necessary that I share the following story with you. I had been searching for the perfect black heel, when I came across a $200 pair of my dream black shoes (last year’s dream, anyway) and so rather than buying myself my ceremonial high-heeled boot, I opted to purchase the black shoe instead.
On one beautiful sunny afternoon this last summer, I was walking down the street and my heel actually snapped in half; not a little, not slightly, not a crack or a sprain, but rather a full-on snap in half. That was back in June (count: 5 months ago) and so I took the shoe back to Holt Renfrew and asked what they could do…and they told me they would fix the heel since apparently, this snapping of the $200 heel had become a regular occurrence at the Holt Renfrew shoe department.
Five months ago.
Am still waiting for my shoe, and will keep you updated on my heel saga and what transpires between myself and the idiots running the show at Holt Renfrew. I suggest you all simmer down and not purchase anything from there until a regular customer such as myself can guarantee you will receive an acceptable level of service.
.5. You can now text message my mobile again for all has been fixed.
.6. Have any of you seen Tamer Hagras lately?
