And people say I'm pig headed


So I've had the discussion many times about I'm pig headed or not, I don't deny being a little stubburn, and Elisabeth and I have often joked around about me not liking to be wrong. I always say, I don't deny that, I don't like to be wrong, that's why I'm usually not. My idea is that I don't usually talk to loudly about things unless I know cause ya I don't like to be wrong, why would I?

But just to show how open I am to guidance when it's right I'll let you in on a happening in our place over the last little while. Maybe it'll even help you.

We bought some new mouth wash the other day. Not sure how we got on the topic but somehow it came around to the fact that I have always rinsed after I brush, I guess I just figured "Hey it'll give you the freshest breath the longest" I mean with the burn sometimes lasting 15 minutes the freshness has to last longer than that. Elisabeth let me know that 30 years of rinsing has been done wrong. That you actually are suppose to rinse before cause it helps loosen the plaque and stuff to be brushed away. Now this where reading the label would have helped, but who actually ever does that?

So I've changed my ways, I rinse before now, and not sure if its a mental thing or not but it does seem to work better. I guess you can let me know about the fresh breath thing.

My only question is why did a dentist or hygienist (aka torture person)not even tell me this?
