My teeth are in good shape, in case you were wondering. I’ve told this story before, but many years ago I saw a show about corn where an old farmer was basically the main character. In passing they went over how he used to take a toothpick to his gums after every meal. He was 78 and had his original teeth. So I started doing basically the same thing and I’ve had very few dental issues too. If you keep food from lingering in the crevasses it cuts down on the chances of cavities a lot. Just a tip for you young people.

Anyway, I want to go back to sleep so I’m gonna. Hopefully we’ll both make it to Monday and we can meet here again. Until then, protect your precious teefs!

It’s so good to see Reggie again. He’s probably the most character development out of anybody in this comic, and that’s saying something

I fully understand it can take hundreds of hours of effort to become good at something. I also understand can spend hundreds of hours trying and still suck. The problem is figuring out how many hours are worth investing before finding out I’m in the second group.

I guess if you enjoy doing it, it doesn’t matter if the class god assigned you has a hard cap on ranking certain skills. But this does end up being the problem with alot of creative endeavors, when people want to make them careers–few people have both the natural talent AND put in the time and effort to capitalize on that talent, to reach a level of skill that will earn them a reliable income.

Then there’s the weird nitch of people who are really good at being entertaining being bad at something, and become internet famous.

In my experience, dental issues seem to be very genetic. My dad is OCD about cleaning his teeth, very good at flossing and brushing and mouthwash, several times a day. He also doesn’t snack much. But he still has a cavity basically everytime he goes in, has even had root canals and crowns. My mom’s first husband was, well, very, very backwoods, and didn’t believe in brushing his teeth basically at all, much less going to the dentist–he had a perfect set of pearly whites. You have to figure our ancestors, pre-dental care and toothbrushing, wouldn’t have survived if they regularly got cavities and had debilitating tooth pain on a regular basis–likely those who did ended up living short, miserable lives, then died from malnutrition because it hurt to eat.
