I'm toughening up

My BIL told me that he was very happy with his new toothbrush (we have scintillating conversations of a Sunday teatime don't we?) which was a Philips Sonicare. I thought I'd ask for one for Christmas so the old man complied and I tried it out Christmas Day night. I'm not a gadget fan and I've not used an electric toothbrush before and I wasn't at all prepared for what was going on inside my mouth. It tickled and hurt at the same time, and that was on 'beginner level', so I veered between wanting to giggle and needing to cry. You know you're dealing with something serious when it needs a beginner level don't you? After 14 brushes it threatened to increase its speed and ferocity, but I'm happy to report that by then I was ready. So, if anyone wants a really good cleaning, I recommend the Philips Sonicare. Just go slowly.

I'm in a quandary. The Steve Reich boxed set of 10 cds has gone down from £63 to £50 on amazon. It has done this before and then shot up to £75 (it has been in my shopping basket for a very long time.) Should I? It's still a heck of a lot of money. I'll probably procrastinate as usual and it'll shoot back up again so that'll solve that one! :D

For feck's sake, next time the computer tells me it can't find the site I won't believe it and hit 'try again' 10 times, only to find each time the entry had gone through. How embarrassing! :oops:

Surely if Victor Kyam of Remmington Razor fame were still with us he .."would like it so much.." he'd "..buy the company." Although they looked like false teeth to me... Well I'm sure he could find a use for the sonic-care toothy brushy... Personally I prefer a manual method for all my ablutions not trusting my more sensitive parts to malevolent machines. Of course you remember that I am machines have a odd relationship, being that they love to malfunction upon me. Most recently I became stuck for an hour in a revolving door, my discomfort was compounded by the most urgent need for number twos and I was forced to wait in the heavily methane infused atmosphere until released...

This leads me to my thought for the day.

Farts are like children, you hate other people's but have a strange relish for your own.

I'm very glad to see you upright hon and comiserations on being stuck in a revolving door with an imminent no. 2. I got stuck in one myself 40 years ago so they tell me. You take care!
