Mobile Flossing

I do want to thank a reader for their question about this.

I thought this would have gone without saying, but even so, System Sally jumps at the opportunity to make further clarifications. When starting your mobile flossing system, surely keep this discrete. Do not floss where innocent people are living, walking, or eating, or anything of that nature.

Good places to floss mobile:
1. Your bedroom
2. Just outside the door if you’re walking your dog
3. In a bathroom
4. In your car, when you’ve just eaten at a restaurant and want to clean your mouth. Still, be discrete.

Pockets, more, Flossing

I will be writing a larger post on pockets when I collect more data. For now, I’d like to mention the flossing component. Whether floss belongs in your back pocket, a front pocket, or no pocket will be covered at length (trust me) in the next post, but I am here to say that flossing is amazing.

The new flossing system:

Disconnect if you head and in practice the two activities of brushing and flossing. They don’t necessarily have to be done at the same time, in the same room, with the same frequency, with the same level of care, or anything. Flossing is one thing. Brushing is another thing. They both are aspects of dental hygiene, but they need not be forever bound together.

Here’s my new system: carry the floss with you. make flossing mobile. Do not look at the mirror when flossing, but do it casually walking around. There are advantages and disadvantages to this.

Advantages to going mobile with flossing:
1. you don’t need a mirror
2. you won’t splatter stuff onto a mirror
3. you don’t have to lean over the sink. this will prevent back strain.
4. you can floss when you need to, after every meal if you’d like.
5. you may even start to see how flossing is joyful and beneficial aside from the traditional benefit of removing food particles from your teeth.
6. no more toothpicks.
7. BIG PLUS***** You always have string on you for an infinite number of other purposes

Disadvantages:
1. the pocket thing. will be dealt with in another post.
2. possible blood and saliva on hands without a sink nearby.

Here, the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages. Go mobile with flossing.

Attention! New Dog System: Don’t mind dogs

Pet Dogs. Pet sit a dog. Take dogs for walks. Love dogs. Don’t mind dogs.

Yes. This is truth.

You just have to see that a bad dog is only bad because of its upbringing. All it needs is affection, exercise, and discipline.

Watch the Dog Whisperer and all will become clear.

Aloe Vera

Do not use aloe vera as a general rule. Putting it on a burn will only serve to make the burn burn more, and in general it’s a pretty useless product.

Eating

Do not eat these foods:

1. Pig

2. Shellfish

Do not combine:

1. Meat and Milk

2. Fruit and Regular food

Gum

Do not chew gum for more than 20 minutes.

Flossing

I was told that flossing is more important than brushing. My dentist literally said to me that if I only had time for one thing she would prefer it if I flossed. This totally changed my attitude on flossing. I used to think that brushing was the key piece and that flossing was just to get a few extra cavity causers out of the way. No no no. Flossing is the key piece of healthy teeth. Still brush, but make sure to floss at least once a day.

Tea Tree Oil

Be warned, there is a possible tea tree oil ban on the horizon.

Dogs

system G1.1

Never ever have a dog, be friendly to a dog, appreciate dogs, give humans the sense you appreciate them forcing you to be near dogs, or pet a dog just to prove to someone that you’re a caring human being.

The advantages of this are many.

1. Dogs are smelly

2. Dogs are dirty (and don’t give me that “their mouth is cleaner than ours” stuff)

3. Dogs are expensive

4. Dogs cannot grow into thinking human beings.

5. Dogs do not understand english.

6. Dogs need to have their waste picked up after them.

7. Dogs bark loudly and this is irritating.

Showering

system M1.89

Use only Dr. Broner’s liquid soap in the large container. You can pick your favorite flavor, but I recommend the tea tree and almond. Peppermint is an interesting experience, but it is very cooling and drying, so be sure you want that type of treatment. The big bottle is preferable obviously because it cuts down on the usage of plastic.

Buy a scrunchy spongey thing at CVS or Walgreens or even Whole Foods. I recommend getting the kind with the loop so that you can leave it hanging on the dr. broners bottle when you’re finished.

Which reminds me. Buy another type of soap bottle and replace the dr. broners cap with a spritzer cap from the other soap. This way you save A TON of dr. broners, and squirting is a much more exact science than pouring, which makes it more systematic.

Hop in the shower as soon it is warm. The warmth of the water is hydrotherapeutic so enjoy that experience for at least half a minute or two. Get yourself all wet, and relaxed. Now, take your sponge, and make two-three squirts of dr. broners into the sponge. Put it under the shower just enough to wet it. Turn OFF the water completely. Some shower heads have water saver buttons, but if it doesn’t you can simply turn off the water. Make a good later in the sponge. Wash and scrub yourself in whatever fashion you are comfortable with.

Turn the water back on, rinse out the sponge, hang it back on the dr. broners bottle, rinse yourself off, and turn the water off. You are now bathed.

The advantages of this process are reduced water consumption, reduced soap consumption, good exfoliation and daily self-massage.
