They were really cool. They'd come up and take the hose under the water and drink, there was also a spigot that was open and they'd go up to it, like they were getting a shower. They were really tame and didn't mind if you petted them.wilson wrote:That's awesome. I'll be excited to see them.CameronBornAndBred wrote:I'm working on a few computers here at a marina in Morehead.

I can't wait to see the pictures. I so want to go kayaking in Florida with the manatees.

Anyone on here actually a regular flosser?
No, I'm not, but my dentist told me years ago that swishing once a day for 30 seconds with Listerine (any of the more pleasant flavors will do) or more recently Crest Pro Health mouthwash, is almost as effective at getting rid of gum disease as is flossing. It seems to work for me - when they stick the sharp pointy thing in my gums and the hygienist goes 1,1,2,3,2,3, etc. around the mouth (top and bottom, inside and outside between the teeth and gums), I get far few 4's than I used to, which means the gums are healthier! 1's are best, 5's are worst on their scale. I think it has to do with how deep the pointy thing goes under the gum/tooth line.DukeUsul wrote: I do need to floss more.

So that is what you Dr's call it these days! I am still wondering something.... how does flossing, which occurs between each tooth (as this simple man understands it), helps resolve the plaque build up between the top of the tooth and the gum. Ya know when the hygienist is jamming that point-EEE pronged steel tipped stick (with apparently a depth measurement as I understand it) into each and every tooth at the upper/lower part where the gum comes down over the tooth that hurts like "doo dah" and says as you dance around "OH, I'm sorry DID THAT HURT?". Besides many other things that come to mind, I have to say, YA THINK, I actually flinch like this ALL THE TIME!!!!Lavabe wrote: ...
PLEASE don't tell me you guilt-flossed just a day or so before you went to the dentist.
I am. My wife is, and I do my kids' teeth every day. We were soft on Sean because he hated brushing so much, and he ended up having a tooth extracted and a baby root canal and a BUNCH of fillings. Now he's religious about it, so maybe it's worth it since no permanent teeth were hurt. The dentist told me that flossing might be even more important than brushing, because the fluoridated water we drink and the mouthwash we use does NOT get between the teeth effectively. MOST kids cavities are between teeth at the contact point, as proof of this. They even make fluoride dental floss now. We use it on the kids.devildeac wrote:Daily.DukeUsul wrote:Went to the dentist today. I haven't been in about three years.
