Yes. Pointe. lol. And the shoes do take a lot of work. Still. In spite of âtechnical improvementsâ
OT and TMI: Pointe shoes (toe shoes) are still handmade, and do not have rights or lefts. The ribbons must be sewn on by hand, because their placement varies depending on the dancerâs feet.
English major, too. My dance classes were extra curricular.

I use the Glide toothpick/floss combo thingies.
I have a molar crown that is very apt to get fibrous food stuck behind it and the floss wonât pull it out, but the spear end on this thing does. The dental hygienist calls that crown a âfood trapâ.
Cool way to be on- and off-topic at the same time!

I can completely relate. Meat is the worst.
I think many âtoothpicksâ now have just evolved to mini skewers, which I use for cake testing and hors dâoeuvres
I much prefer swan or sandhill crane; but, to each their own.

Gaps (where contact between teeth isnât tight) can do the same thing. I see the hygienist every 3 months. I donât want trouble.

Seems a bit obsessive, but then thereâs (comedian) Steven Wright:
"My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes she has to cancel the rest of the afternoonâs appointments.â
I may have won the prize for most OTâŚ

Iâm in a similar boat. One of the best investments I ever made was in a Glossray water flosser:

Keeping teeth healthy when youâve had heart surgery is extremely important. Not obsessive at all.

Apologies, no offense intended and that word was just selected so as to lend color to the Wright joke. Iâm sure it still sounded insensitive given your circumstances, though.
My older sister has fairly pronounced prolapse of her mitral valve and associated regurgitation, and is similarly cautious. Not enough for them to band it yet, but sheâs heading that direction.

I have a Waterpik like Vecchiouomo, and I have regular dental floss.

Ages ago I lived in Houston, and there was a wonderful little Caswell Massey store in the Galleria, down near N-M. They sold packs of goose quill toothpicks at reasonable prices. It was a fun era.

Quills, or the whole animal?

If you use the whole animal, you can floss your entire grille at once.

I owned this board, hate it. I bought the black version, mainly to slice fish on my sink. There is no way to get rid of stains on the board, I clean it instantly after use, every usage will add more stains. I used brush, hot water, different types of cleaner, bleach, not useful, as there is a kind of patterned texture on the plastic that isnât flat.
It is claimed that one of the executive in the company brought the board home and used it daily for months and said that the board showed no deep cuts, nearly like in day one. I donât know he cut what on it, as even vegetables and bread leave stains. They are talented in marketing, even try to sell you a brush to clean the board.
I donât recommend this board. Too expensive for what it is.
Woosh, thanks for sharing, but⌠LoL, toxic bacteria and creating mold.
I suppose if you cut some watermelon on a wooden board, then placed it, still wet, in a large plastic bag, you might eventually get some mold.
Another way to get mold on a wooden cutting board it so place it at your doorstep, kind of like a welcome mat, in a rainy climate.
So, of course, donât do that.
Kind of tough to see how one would get mold like that in casual kitchen use, though.

My friend in high school and I were camping for a week and ran out of food. We (legally) shot and ate one. If we werenât quite hungry, it wouldnât have been quite edible. We didnât go âwhole animal.â
