Am I impaired?




My sisters and mothers gave me a Sonicare toothbrush for my birthday!
Concerned as I am about oral hygiene it's the perfect gift; however, I don't think I understand how to use it. (is that proper semi-colon use?)

Yes, clearly it shouldn't be this difficult or instructions would be included, right?
Am I supposed to actually exert pressure and go through the motions of brushing, or simply place it against my teeth and move it from tooth to tooth in an orderly fashion?

Plus, when, if ever, does one get the opportunity to spit? I tried spitting and the vibrating brush sent toothpaste everywhere. I tried not spitting and had drool running down my chin.
If I turn it off to spit, I end up in an endless loop of 2 minute brushing cycles. Eek! My gums!


Am I too OCD for an electric tooth brush? Oh no! Let toilet training never be too strict, I'm ruined.
Ben Stiller and Rex Reed are following my blog, celebrity recognition is so gratifying.

  1. Too funny! What I would really like to see is a picture of the drooling please. About the OCD......I think it's pretty obvious (but in a good way).

  2. Turn it off when you take it out of your mouth. YOU decide when you're done brushing your teeth.

    I'm glad you found the instructions.

    Why do I always have to try posting comments twice? I choose to comment as my google account, then type the secret word, and it tells me the request could not be processed. Then I try typing another secret word and it goes through. good grief!

    Except for today when it's asking me to do it a 3rd time.

  4. Sonja,

    I think your semi-colon usage is correct. Also, can I use this opportunity to tell the world how you took my beloved rinsing cup from its place on the sink and used it to CATCH A MOTH? Yes, you did, don't deny it. I've been holding on to that for a quarter of a century, but now the truth shall out. OCD my foot.
