Product Advice from a Consumption Specialist

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Have you ever tried the Natural Dentist toothpaste products? Probably not, as I don’t think they have the wide distribution needed for instant name recognition. I purchased the Healthy Gums toothpaste from them at the local Co-Op and have nothing but good things to say about it. Normally I think of toothpaste as toothpaste, and products that are especially natural as something of a waste of time and money, but I may have to reevaluate my stance on all of these sorts of products after trying this one. It makes brushing teeth a real pleasure. I defy anyone to brush their teeth with this paste and just think of it as another ordinary tooth-brushing experience. They also make a mouthwash that I tried. It is priced much higher than a national brand, and in the case of the wash is not worth the extra expense. The paste is worth the extra that it costs though. If you get the opportunity, I highly suggest it.

Also, updates are happening again at EatMe and MyMovies

It has been a long time since I have written anything at all. I seem to be busy, but I think I am still freer than the average bear. It is true that I will be a father any day now, and have all of the things that go along with that, but I still find myself wasting time. To be precise, I have a Wii console from Nintendo. If you are interested in games, and don’t consider yourself too old (as I probably should) it is the best system ever developed. The activity level is involving enough to make you get up and participate, but not so much to actually wear you out too much. I have had it for about a week, and have nothing but good things to say about it. We also had to buy a big TV to maximize the fun. I got a few games and am enjoying Super Swing Golf the most. It is hard enough that is will take me a long while to finish it. Wario Ware Smooth Moves is also big fun, and totally insane.

I did manage to build a cradle for the baby. I also got the wood to build a crib, but haven’t gotten around to that yet. Cradles are easier. It is really a Cratel anyhow, as I have made it to resemble a fruit crate for fun. I’ll go and take a quick picture for you all to enjoy.

There is a mattress that goes in this already, and I just have to shellac it to finish it up.

I also have finished the laying of the hardwood on the second floor, with a couple of spots left to be filled where an irregular piece is required. I’ll get to that soon though. It looks really good already, and I can’t wait till it is sanded, stained, and varnished. Those steps will likely wait a little while though. It looks like the next item on the agenda is the exterior painting. I can’t wait because this should have the greatest impact in the smallest time of anything we have yet done. I hope to be starting on the kitchen remodel by mid-summer.

There have been numerous things I have wanted to write about over the past weeks, but I can’t think of them just now. I hope to get back in the habit again. So many dreams.

Also, have you looked at the selling prices for Last Days of Disco? Absurd.
