So fresh, so clean...

Hi all,

Hope all's well this snowy evening. Tomorrow's the last day of classes for the semester - I had my last Monday class last night - all went well. Our presentation went pretty smoothly, hopefully we did well. Tomorrow's going to be another presentation and then that's it.

The scary thing is that I have no idea what my grades are going to be - more so in the Wed class because we haven't gotten anything back that's been graded yet. Kind of wacked, yes?

Anyway, there's nothing like a new toothbrush. It's like freshly washed bedsheets on the bed for your mouth. I know you're supposed to wait for like 3 months or so before changing your toothbrush, but I went a little early this time. Man is it good. It was so good that I brushed twice this evening. My mouth is super fresh and clean. (yes, the first line is in reference to the Outkast song.)

So faithful readers know that I've griped before about how I think prescription drug commercials are stupid when they don't tell you what it's for (they just tell you to ask your doctor). I was watching tv (I think it was last night) and there was a commercial for a prescription drug that I'd never heard of. And, like an answer to my request, the commercial was up front about what it was for - ED (erectile dysfunction). None of this beating around the bush of check out my racecar with the name of some blue pill on it, or about "staying in the game" with some football guy. This commercial was very clear and concise.

Trouble is, now I don't know what's worse - Watching prime time TV and hearing the words "erectile disorder" or just being left to my own devices and wondering what those products with strange drug names are for.

So ok, then I am listening to the commercial, and I'm wondering - Am I the only one in thinking that uhhh, the drug being effective for 36 hours is somewhat of a problem? Unless you're a pornstar, it's just not practical. Unless you have 3 day weekends fairly often or you have a ton of vacation, you'd have plan ahead and take days off pretty regularly. That's a lot of planning (for you and your partner(s))! Seriously, think about it - You take a dose on Friday night, say after work - That would mean you're "good to go" until Monday night after work. Do you really want to be at work on Monday in your "condition?" You'd be like the high school kid again, walking around holding your books in front of you.

You get the idea.
