Friday heats up seashells to make sea s’smores.
Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:
Well, it’s June, isn’t it? June already! I celebrated the switch with the purchase of new toothpaste. You see, I have been stuck with some awful, awful lemon-flavored gel for weeks. Because I inherited some modicum of frugality from my grandfather, I just couldn’t throw it away after the first few squirts. I wanted to, though. I mean, I knew I made a mistake from the beginning. This stuff tasted like a melted Jolly Rancher. For breakfast!
But I stayed with it until the tube was worn down to next-to-nothing. Now it is finished, and I have moved on to some kind of “extreme clean” paste with “micro-active foam.” Whatever, as long as it’s not lemon-flavored.
What was I thinking? I now know and can declare that FRUIT HAS NO PLACE in dental care.
If there was Avacado-Flavored toothpaste, would I have tried it? Who knows? Now that I’m in my thirties, I’m sticking to the classics. Flavors that end in “…mint.” No more glitter in there. No cartoon characters on the tube. Whitening, sure, I’ll take that. Foam, baking soda, baking powder, built-in mouthwash, nano-bots, bring it on! But no more citrus!
Toothpaste! Just burn the germs out of my mouth, and make it such that I can’t taste anything until 11 am.
Thank you.

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

You’ve obviously never been pregnant! I couldn’t tolerate mint during morning sickness. The lemon stuff takes a bit of getting used to: It brings to mind lemon Joy dishwashing soap, so I initially had to keep reminding myself that orange juice was going to taste so much better without the minty aftertaste.
