I have been using it for a few years and it works great. Just remember to wipe the sides of your mouth after brushing. Way cheaper than regular toothpaste and it doesn't leave that tingly feeling in your mouth for a long time like either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-26956002373506687362011-11-11T03:22:44.866-08:002011-11-11T03:22:44.866-08:00Good stuff, KG, good stuff...Good stuff, KG, good stuff...MarkyMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-50457914729260538432011-11-11T02:35:46.197-08:002011-11-11T02:35:46.197-08:00To be fair, I still read mainstream media for the ...To be fair, I still read mainstream media for the hard facts. I mean, if this or that important person died or was fired, if the government is going to raise or lower taxes, if this company or that company is now under. These kinds of facts.<br /><br />The reasons behind all those things may be all bunk, but those facts are hard facts that can't be faked.Leahn Novashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296072168136706313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-11635853211985006632011-11-10T18:39:51.039-08:002011-11-10T18:39:51.039-08:00You've got guts.

Until marriage, I did not even own a television. I was an avid libertarian, did not trust traditional media, knew that an Atkins-style diet was the way to go, although I didn't always follow it (paleo was not widely known in the 90s), and was implicitly aware of Game, even though the word was not in our lingo at the time. In fact, for older men, most of the concepts of Game (except for the more bizarre Player tricks) are just... common wisdom. Stuff that has been beat out of our culture for decades. Just look at any romantic movie from the 40s for a refresher.<br /><br />The fact is I let my wife influence my habits. I was watching more TV, reading less, eating her kind of food, etc... It's not that I was a henpecked wimp, but I had just gradually changed habits out of laziness.<br /><br />It wasn't too much stretch for me to regain ground, But when I thought about it, I was especially surprised at how my diet had changed over the years. I had let myself be talked out of Atkins, paying attention to the common wisdom, reducing fats, eating whole-grain bread and cereal with low-fat milk, and snacking on processed carbs all the time, wondering why I felt worn-out and tired, had headaches, acid reflux and joint pains, and was outgrowing my pants. I really thought it just went with the territory of being a man in his 40s. Then I went back to the way I used to eat and work out and within a few months I was 30 pounds lighter (modulo an extra 15 lbs of muscle), and feeling as energetic as I did in my 20s.
